Yes, they've all been inaccessible for a while, now (a week? two weeks?).
As for whether they're gone completely: only GOG can say whether they've been deleted (I would like to say "I doubt it," but I wouldn't entirely put it past them), or simply removed from the public site, like removed game pages.

Thanks for the pointer.

You're welcome. It's unfortunate that the forum is only usable by a “manual analog search” i.e. favourite topics.

Yeah, if anything, the forum engine should have gotten an overhaul first, instead of everything else.

Considering how redesigns work out here (or anywhere really), careful with wishing for that. Want the forum to also only work in the latest versions of selected browsers, with the news threads set aside in some buried section, at least some sale threads completely invisible unless you know the URL to check directly, huge colored tiles and buttons, GIFs, slideshows (of "popular" threads or what not) and other distracting and resource-consuming stuff all over, and likely images and (possibly auto-playing) videos allowed to be embedded in posts and little to no text in official posts?

Good ideas but let's simplify it even better for the tablet-toddler generation.

Replace all user text posts with reaction videos ! XD

Please no!

Remember the old PNs they deleted completely with the really crappy chat system?

My feeling is that anything would be better than the current forum, hehe :) It's really messed up. You can't even paste code here properly (no code tag).

Why would you want to paste code? At least at the moment it's clean - text all looks the same and is legible.

I'm sure GOG devs could prove you wrong very easily.

Why wouldn't I want to paste code? There are tons of posts here with scripts and other stuff like that. For clean look, they can make a read only page.

GOGmixes were kinda one of the 3 best things about GOG. I'd very much hate for them to be gone.
Posted November 11, 2018
Damn. One more great feature gone. It's like GOG are doing everything possible to suck more on a daily basis, and drive away people who (once) cared about them.

I'm counting down the days until "DRM Free" is gone too. It's the last stand.
