What is the big ban
So I've heard rumours of a time where way more people were on these forums, but then they all got banned? Could someone please inform me on what happened?

I wasn't here for it, but they say I'm the Summer of 2023, the Forums did some advertising
At this same moment, there was something that happened in Reddit that pissed everyone off
They went looking for a new place to go and found here
They posted things they should not have and so the mods had to ban a lot of them
A lot of the people that didn't get banned thought the Forums shut down and left
I wasn't here for it, though, so it might be better if @UnovanZorua or @Flametix explained

I wasn't there either, I was a month and a few days late and heard the story on YouTube. It happened early July 2023 and I joined in the middle of August 2023.
Basically, TPC posted about the forums on social media and a lot of people came. Before that, they were just for the TCG (I think specifically for the TCG mobile games that aren't Pocket, both of which I forgot the names of). It was a mess. Some of the inappropriate posts went viral and spread on the internet. I heard some stories on YouTube about people getting banned despite not doing anything inappropriate too. However, I never got to experience it in person.
As an example of just how popular the forums were at announcement, the first one I think of is @CircusCandy's reactions to posts ratio.
