FA's forums become Phoenix Forums and move to a new domain, leaving FA without an independent dedicated discussion area.
According to Carenath, this was in response to FA's removal of its link to the forums, as he assumed the next step would be to shut the forums down entirely.
Within the next two weeks, due to some concerns about private information that technically belonged to FA, the forums would be wiped and started from scratch.
FA finally adds gallery folders, seven and a half years after they were first announced. Limits to 50
The forum administrator decides to take his ball and go home, leaving FA without forums for several months.

FA Forum staff performs a mass exodus.
This was a thorny and confusing mess, and made much worse by the decision to censor and ban former admins who explained their grievances in depth.
When the dust settled, one main site admin and four forum moderators had quit.
It also came to light that forum moderators were asked to provide photo ID if they wished to remain moderators.
