Title: New Forums Online!
Post by: Phoenix on 2007-07-14, 04:52
Our forums have been reworked and we're now running on a new board system.  This was something long overdue, and the recent incursion spurred us to make the transition to a new system that is more up to date and vastly more secure.  The forums now have a new, more unified appearance and improved functionality.  While this was something we did not intend to do at this time it was something that needed to be done, and well worth the time invested.  The only regret is that we did not do this sooner and that some interesting topics were lost, however no progress can be made without some kind of cost.  Lessons have been learned and we know better for the future.  :slippy_thumb:

You may notice some boards and topics are no longer present.  We felt it was time to retire the Blast Arena and Sliders boards because the projects have both been mothballed for now.  They may make a return at some point in the future, but we felt it would be best to concentrate on Generations Arena.  Some topics were pruned for compatibility or because of dead links or general topic stagnation.  Also, most of the past polls are gone, again for compatibility reasons with the new forum software.  We preserved a few of the most recent or otherwise interesting ones.  If a favorite poll is gone feel free to start a new one!  All your other favorite discussion areas, such as Rants and Randomness, the Off Topic Forum, and Controversy Corner are all there for your posting pleasure.

Please take some time to look over your profile information.  You may wish to make a new signature or restore your old one, and there are some nifty options for configuring personal messages as well as date and time configuration, etc.  One you may wish to select is "Return to topics after posting by default."  This brings you right back to what you posted as opposed to the topic directory.

Everything should be functioning properly but if something should behave oddly please let myself, Dr. Jones, or Tabun know right away and we'll look into it.  In the mean time, look around and enjoy the new board!

The new board is cool. Kinda sucks that my post count got lost in the transition.. but that's just a minor quirk that I'm more than happy to live with.

Your post count did not get lost. It got diminished a wee bit. ;)

Every post that each member actually has on these boards currently counts towards their total postcount. This means 1) that you have lost a number of posts, alas and 2) unlike before, the statistics are now correct!  :doom_thumb:

It's been a while, but I believe I used to have like 500+ posts.  :D
Not that it matters.

Congratulations on the new forum! Looks great!
