So sad to see this go. Wasn't playing frequently, but it was one of my favorite things to do to play some games while catching up with my youtube feed. Thanks for your services all these years, happy meeple will be missed.

As others , I'm sad to read that Happy Meeple will close. But I understand  and  know that at one point it is a full time job that needs to pay back.
On my side want to thank you for initiating this wonderful board game platform and want to thank all the people that invest their time and skills to make it work so far!
I want to congrats you all for these efforts because to me playing daily at the beginning and add paused in my gaming later on as life goes on, I never encountered big issues or whatever. People I've played with have all been great and I think this is because of the spirit that had been given to happy Meeple by the creators and crew..
I also discovered some games I didn't know and can now play with my family, SO thanks a lot for all these great moments. And wish you all the best for the future.

Very sad to see Happy Meeple go!  :'(

I have been using both HM and BGA for a while, but I always found HM to be the simpler and cozier of the two. Happy Meeple was always the one I chose when I just wanted to relax with a few games and not spend a whole day immersed in games.

I would very much like to join the “Happy Meeple players” group on Board Game Arena. Unfortunately, I can't get the referal link to work. Clicking it (while logged on to BGA) yields the following message for me: "The referral has not been registered (it may have already been registered, or the link may have expired)". You said the link would be valid until November 2025, so why is it not working for me? (No, I was never a premium member there.) Anyway, I'll definitely look for the group and try to join it manually!

Please note.
After the platform closure, the website happymeeple.com will display for a while the text published her.
So if you forgot the Board Game Arena link, you should be able to find it by visiting happymeeple.com again.

i will finish on positive note : it has always a pleasure ton play on happy meeple. it's cute, people are nice, the meta game is a good idea (game within the game : build a village to produce food to be able to play : wow), the training mode is perfect.

if BGA editors can steal some idea and implement in their platform :), would be great. if BGA is a factory or an industry, happy meeple was that local shop you are attached to.

I like your final word very much. Great touch!!! Many thanks for that! I'll keep that with me for sure.

I'd had a bad feeling for a little while now that this day was coming soon...  :'(

I have joined the Happy Meeple Players group on BGA but can't get any bonus perks as I was already a premium BGA subscriber.  (Any chance of convincing them to offer a little something to existing subscribers as well?  With a special, exclusive link, of course..)

Is there really nothing that can be done to save this site from extinction?  I too would pay a monthly or yearly subscription to keep it alive.

Could you sell it on to someone who wants to continue it?

Anyway, thank you for so many years of fun and community and I wish you all the best for your future.

BTW, all of the spectrum of my nickname here is taken in BGA and that's why I'm registered there as Ksetofon. Just for anyone to know here, I'm not really sure if BGA would hook me as a safe sandbox as HM did to visit it frequently in my spare time.

Thank you so much for all the enjoyment here. It's the only game site that had the features I prefer and the design is top notch - there's no way I can overstate that. I'll really miss Happy Meeple. A couple people used the word gutted and I agree.

While being doubtful I'll end up playing elsewhere (having looked at other game sites in the past), I did sign up on BGA to give it a chance. HAS ANYONE FOUND LEVEL X there? It's not coming up for me even trying with various searches and filters and order settings.

Already this reminds me that Happy Meeple above all feels friendly and intuitive, while other sites... not so much.

While Happy Meeple will always be my favorite gaming site, I have played on BGA, and it is fine.
I hope those of us who play regularly here can reconnect over on BGA!
