FIRST PIC TRANSCRIPTION:

Dear Pokémon fan game community,

It is with heavy heart that I announce that the Relic Castle website has been taken down following a DMCA takedown notice.

Relic Castle has always been a non-profit, ad-free, tight-knit community and we pride ourselves in what we have achieved. Members have felt at home, made friends, and even careers with us. It is with deep regret that I have to inform you that the forum part of this community, which was to turn 10 years old this year, has had to come to an end. With over 20.000 members and 65.000 posts, Relic Castle was a home to many of us.

The Discord server is not going anywhere, and the site is still visible as an archive using the Wayback Machine.

Thank you all for being with us this last decade, and thank you for making Relic Castle as awesome and life-changing as it has been for some of us.

Sincerely, Marin (Owner) & Andy (Manager)

SECOND PIC TRANSCRIPTION

FAQ: (will update as we can/want to)
1- The website was backed up and sent to me (Cat) right before it was taken down, so nothing is truly lost.
2- TCPI should not be contacted as it was a third party who is authorized by TCPI to supply DMCAs and looks legitimate to us.
3- The DMCA was on the entire site for using "unauthorized copies of copyrighted material", so different from one game being taken down.
4- What will RC staff do next? Is there a new site or will the Discord be expanded? We don't know right now.
5- Put love into the world today
