I took a bit of effort on my part to access the forums when I noticed the Links seem to have disappeared from the main website. Not sure if there was intentional or not but if it's intentional, an announcement or notice would have been real helpful.
My point is unless the Forums are being closed or something like that, there should be links to it in plain sight like there was with the previous design for the main website.

I had to look for them with the new website. Scroll ALL the way to bottom of main page next to social media links. Could've found a better spot instead of next to FB, Twitter, etc.

Re: AB Forum Link(s) no longer on the main AB website
The part about this that’s stood out to me as a real issue is that in order to apply for cosplay events, you have to be signed in on the forums. So the forum button being hard to find may have discouraged some from signing up this year.

I didn't see the link, and came here directly, using my browser's history of of the URL. It's quite a change from having it in the menu bar, and IMHO not a good one.

I have no idea why either.

Yeah that's a huge problem. No idea why it was not even addressed by any AB Staff since I made this thread.

Re: AB Forum Link(s) no longer on the main AB website
There is still no link on the homepage that I could find, including in the pull down menus. IMHO beside a pull down menu link, it should also be in the "Quick Links" section of the "Important Stuff" block on the homepage.
