I private messaged him a couple of days ago. He hasn't posted here since May, so I'm not sure how interested he is. But as a former moderator, I would think he'd want to know.

Soooo, are they relinquishing their copyright hold over the franchise? Great!

Pretty sure he'll get your message. He hasn't posted since May, but he logged on here two days ago.

I can also email him if he doesn't respond within a few days. He's one of the few TTLGers I have met in person.

The Thief threads are dead. Every thread is dead. Every thread is dead, Dave.
ZB was Holly all along. This explains everything!

This is the whole conversation I had with Square Enix:
I don't have my initial inquiry, but it was pretty short, simply asking if they knew where the current and archived Thief forums had gone, as I only got redirected to their gaming page instead.
Response:
"

However, we would suggest running a simple internet search or discussing this question/issue, as there are many gaming communities which do welcome these types of questions and discussion.

My reply:

Hello
Thank you for your reply, however, I must admit your response leaves me surprised and highly confused. I am trying to find the message board/forum for Square Enix games. Where else would I get that information than contacting Square Enix support?? You're telling me to do a simple internet search. Well, I did that before first inquiring about this issue, and if I google "square enix forums", the first 7 posts all refer to some derivative of forums.square-enix.com site. Yet, when I click on any of these links, they all redirect me back to (https://square-enix-games.com/) where I can't find any message board forum.
If you see my attached picture, I've circled the 7th link in the google search, pointing out that the last post was on Aug 14th of this year, just a few weeks ago. There surely must be many users who are having the same question as myself, as these forums cover a whole array of Square Enix/Eidos games.
Is there a support line for the message boards alone that I could contact?
Regards"
And then their final answer:
"

That helps, but like you said they are heavily incomplete. Part 5 seems complete, and also much of 7. Parts 3, 4 and 6 only have a fraction available.
