They shut them down bc i think they just got tired of running a forum. I mean it did last 7 1/2 years so it was pretty old but? Yeah they closed them but someone was nice enough to pay for this domain and everyone moved here.

In late July Matt-Mod announced that the forums would be closing on August 12, 2016 and a forumpocalypse ensued, because the rules stopped being enforced and there was tons of swearing and stuff happening. So Roswell and Tommorow's Hero created these forums as a sort of sanctuary for us. On the last day everyone made goodbye threads and it was sad. Most of us moved here after the closing and we've been here ever since.

Basically they got closed because the series is dying and thus sales are down, and HC didn't want to pay for the forums anymore. Running a site through a company like hoop.la is very expensive for no return, and plus HC probably caught wind of how many people despised the way the community was at the end.

officially: "as technology changes, so must we" so the forums had to die more likely reason: they didn't get any money directly from the site and it was very poor advertising, so they didn't want to keep paying to have it up
