In short, Forwarder Factory is done, it'sover.Now,soIcangetthisblogpostoutquickly,IamsimplygoingtorepostthehugeandlastDiscordmessageIsentinthe#announcements channel in its entirety. I know I said I wasn't going to make another blog post before the redesign but I <strong>need</strong> to get this out.</p>
<p>Originalpost:"So.. I've known this day would come for a very long time and unfortunately, today is that day! In the end, Forwarder Factory is (finally) over. I want to take some time into writing an announcement for you so that you're not lost. If you even remotely support me, please read the entire thing!</p>

<p>Thelastone,#based-general is in my eyes the root cause of this. What I now call "the #based-general mentality" which is a term I just invented while writing this basically spread to the rest of the server. The biggest issue however, is how I am not a good leader. It is this fact and lack of moderation by myself that caused this.</p>
