Yeah I get your point, and you’re not wrong, the game can go along without a dev for a bit as long as nothing major breaks. But that’s kind of the gamble. It only works while everything stays stable, and the moment something serious goes wrong, there’s nobody there to actually fix it (besides maybe hampa and maybe sir if he's still supporting the development until someone replaces him)

Community staff volunteers can keep events running and things organised, but that doesn’t really replace someone who can touch the code. Having Nabi just coordinate staff is more like maintenance mode, it keeps things moving, but it doesn’t solve deeper issues.

The security part is probably the biggest worry. Without an active dev, you’re basically hoping nobody finds something nasty and abuses it. And if they do, there’s no one with the access to properly look into it or patch it.

Disabling the forums might reduce risk, but that would probably hurt the game more than help. You’d be cutting off a huge part of the community just to lower the chance of something going wrong.

Obviously I'm sure sir still has access to most things to support potential risks or problems until another dev replaces him
