Heigh-ho, everyone. I'm sad to share the news that Wix is discontinuing their forum, which is what powers our forum here on Ear Scouts. As a result, this forum will shut down soon and we are so sad to see it go.
The good news is that as one door closes, another opens. We are very excited to announce that our friends at Discourse, makers of one of the best and most powerful forum platforms on the internet, has given us a new forever home for the forum using their hosted service. The new forum is fast and allows for much better organization and interaction with us and each other. We'll be posting more information soon or you can join our Patreon to become a beta tester. While we are not able to port the existing posts to the new system, we hope you'll continue to share your tips, experiences and fun photos on the new forum so it will feel like home very soon.
Here are a handful of the new features:
Better organization, powerful search and more categories
Find exactly what you are looking for and post things where people can easily find it with more categories and sub-categories. You can see the new list of main categories in the image above, but we'll be adding sub-categories once the forum grows to make information easier to find and share
Direct messaging

Sign in with Google, Apple, Facebook, Discourse and more
Create polls, blur spoilers, add tables and more to make fun posts
Live chat rooms

We can't wait to share all of these fun new features with everyone and see what you all will create in this new online hangout for our entire Ear Scouts community. Until then, keep thinking happy thoughts everybody!
