有著大量 CG 藝術家參與的社群平台 CGSociety，相信是許多創作者曝光作品、找尋軟體疑難雜症解答的選擇。映CG 編輯們也時常到網站上找尋吸睛的採訪作品。而在12 月 8 號 Reddit 論壇上，一名網友貼文表示收到來自 CGSociety 團隊的一封信件，表示平台將於明年 1 月 8 號關閉。目前為止，在 CGSociety 任何正式的平台上都還沒有看到相關消息的確認。以下是流傳的信件內容：

Dear Community,

After an incredible journey spanning over two decades, it is with mixed emotions that we announce the retirement of CGSociety. This decision comes after a long and heartfelt consideration. Throughout these years, we've shared remarkable moments, celebrated countless achievements, and faced a few challenges together. However, now is the time for us to bid farewell and close this chapter.

Effective January 8th, we will be permanently shutting down CGSociety. We want to express our deepest gratitude to each and every one of you who has been a part of this extraordinary community. From the dedicated moderators and forum leaders to the active participants, vendors, and partners who have collaborated with us over the years, and, of course, the visionary founders who breathed life into this platform – we owe our heartfelt Thanks to all of you.

Like all good things, CGSociety's journey must come to an end. Before our closure, we encourage you to take this opportunity to download any images, artwork, or content that holds personal significance for you. Additionally, if there are conversations and contacts you wish to retain, please ensure you save them for your records.

We deeply appreciate the support, creativity, and camaraderie that you have brought to CGSociety throughout its existence. It has been an honor to be part of this vibrant community.

As you move forward on your individual journeys, we wish you all the best in your future endeavors. Thank you once again for being an integral part of CGSociety's legacy. With warm regards and sincere gratitude.

-CGSociety Team

就信件內容指出，團隊並沒有明確表示停止營運的原因，僅說到如同所有美好的事物，都有結束的一天，而 CGSociety 的旅程也確實來到了這一天。在結束營運之前，也鼓勵大家趁機到網站上把自己的作品圖下載備份。也有許多網友表示，CGSociety 的論壇其知識含金量非常之高，如果就此結束真的非常可惜。也希望在即便不後續營運後，還能有某種方式維持或檔案保存下來。
