+
+We have decided to retire our discourse forums due to minimal use, administrative overhead, and other various reasons.
+
+Moving forward, we will leverage GitHub discussions which have already gone live and can be reached here [GitHub Discussions](https://github.com/orgs/linuxserver/discussions). Our primary support method remains Discord, but you are welcome to use Discussions. Image requests will ONLY be accepted on Discussions.
+
+*Note: no threads will be migrated over, if you have an open thread, please recreate it on Discussions.*

+
+If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please visit us on [discord](https://discord.gg/HgvsypQr) in #lounge.
