Hey guys!
I'm Phillip Huang of What Pumpkin! (please don't hurt me)
I'm happy to announce that, a few weeks ago, I was assigned to rebuild the forums!
Look, I understand WP has really been dropping the ball on keeping the community up to date with regards to the forums. I wasn't a part of the team until pretty recently, so I can't really speak on behalf of them or whatever policies they had to follow in the past. But I do know two things:
First, please do not think for a second that we don't care about you guys. Andrew and the rest of the team absolutely feel the growing animosity and discontent, and we're working as hard as we can every day to try to keep the fanbase happy. By my personal observations, the reason the forums have been on the back burner is because there are just too many other things to be working on right now (most notably Hiveswap--game development is a BEAST).
Second, starting with this post, I am going to try to make amends by increasing transparency, feedback, and communication, at least with regards to the forums and their reconstruction. Technically I'm not supposed to announce very much now, but if you have a burning hot question go ahead and ask me here (not PM pls so I don't have to repeat myself) and I'll see what I'm allowed to say. Once the new forums are up, I'm going to try to get some of the other WP team members to start posting on them so they can answer questions about more general things (no promises though!
). A part of this initiative is me trying to contact the old mods and other prominent community members to help shape the creation of the new universe relaunch of the forums (lol mementoviviere you can stop pretending now, Wesley Foxx please check your Skype, Sharkalien I'll try to PM you soon, Blaperile please check your messages).
So what happens now? WP probably won't be making an Official AnnouncementTM about this until the forums actually launch. I can't make any promises on a launch date or any features. In the meantime, it's probably best to keep this news and your hypes on the down low. Expect the worst, conksuckiest piece of software that that ever still somehow qualified as aboot forum, to be released as a $50 DLC to the Remastered Hiveswap 6 Collector's Edition. Also, please don't pester the mods to give any info, and mods please don't leak anything else (I SEE YOU "flowey" 
).
Alrighty, thanks for your patience y'all. We really appreciate your dedication to this community throughout all of these difficulties. Hopefully I'll see you on the new forums! (when they launch, which is never)
