Hi all. Hopefully you have had a chance to read through the announcement about the Envato forum closure.
In my post I mentioned that I’d start a thread to collect details on any other ways to help Authors connect with each other.
If you’re a member or organiser of any relevant groups, pages or other places that people can link up with other Authors, please share the details here. We’ve seen many of these come and go over the years - some for specific countries, languages, marketplaces or content types. Those connections are important, and those groups will only become more important in future.
Include any relevant information that you can:
- What platform does it use?
- Which authors is it relevant to?
- How do people find it?
Share any ways that will help to keep the community connected, and join any that are relevant to you.

I know you are in a very sad position than us at the moment… to be frank your reply was our hope when we were having troubles, whether it solves or not the problem. You were emotionally attached to us, no matter we phrase or hate your replies… I know we made pressure on you too…Thank you for all the support you gave us to be mentally strong at hard times. and sorry for getting angry with you some times even if we dont type them here… with love, have a good future

I know it is…. our external groups can do no affect to them we dont have benloeong or kingdog from there staff…. but atleast we can be together help each other in cases… to have a feeling that we are atleast not alone….
Marketplace will be closed soon, too. There’d be no point.

Yes, you think elements also ?
No. They will focus on Elements with their own team and AI.

You meant we are not going to be element authors ?
If you’re not so far, hardly no. On top, if you check the other forum posts, Elements payments are down to 50% or more.

It is because we authors were complaining too much, it made them look so bad and decided to close the forum for good…
Seriously I think this is the end of an era. I’m gonna still keep uploading though, there are still good values in the market, just that everything right now are so overshadowed by the AI hype train, which I abhor.

Join the forum I created, over at WPBay: https://forum.wpbay.com/
We can continue WordPress plugin/theme discussions there.
Cheers!

Regarding Audio, aside from all the moaning, we use the forums to discuss and share pretty relevant subjects such as CID services and their reliability and results; PROs and how they work with tracking platforms like TuneSat, BMAT, etc. It will be tough to lose that.
Maybe a Discord group?
Maybe a Reddit space?
I don’t use facebook, but well, I guess I could open an account…
We will miss the forums. A few days ago @KingDog wrote “I hope you continue to push back. Don’t let the artist be erased. Champion one another. Use your voice.”. Now this…
