You can write your topic however you want, but you need to answer these questions:

  1. What do you want to achieve? Keep it simple and clear!
    I want to add a forum on my game where everyone can post a sentence and it got saved even if the player isn’t online. (like a posting wall)
  2. What is the issue? Include screenshots / videos if possible!
    I don’t think basic datastore is made for this… , maybe I have to use external saving system??
  3. What solutions have you tried so far? Did you look for solutions on the Creator Hub?
    I searched on forum but didn’t found

You should be able to do this with a datastore. They can be used to store game-wide data as well as per-player data. In normal DataStores values are stored and retrieved by key which is often the UserId for per-player data but can be anything.

Datastores do have some meta data which allows a UserId to be associated with set values but that is so you’ll have a way of auditing where data comes from if you need to do moderation.
