Warning: Disaster Imminent
OK, so I've decided to go along with creating a new forum.
Here's whats going to happen:
I will be disabling the board on Sunday morning (GMT- about 8-10 hours from this post).
I will then convert everything over to the new board. After this is done, the board will stay disabled while i set up a few things.
Something is bound to go wrong, so in that case I will either re-enable this board again and think of a plan, or everything will stay disabled while i fix it.
If it all works out, you will be greeted with a weird new board.
Some features will not work right away, so these are the things that will be missing:
Chatbox
Rings
Chao Points
Shop and Items
I will be looking to get them back in the same order.
I should add, that if you try to log in and it doesn't seem to work, use the forgotten password option. Here is the reason:
"Password conversion Due to the utf-8 based handling of passwords in phpBB3, it is not always possible to transfer all passwords. For passwords "lost in translation" the easiest workaround is to use the "forgotten password" function."
:herosuprise:

Look, if we kept this board, do you WANT to have messages all the time saying that the capacity has reached its limited and you have to wait five mintues before you get to play again!? I'd rather start anew. :P
Apparently, I was the 50th member to join. Don't expect me to be on much, though. Avatar made by RS Chao.
OK let me clarify.
Chao points might be lost in the conversion. IF THEY ARE write down your amount so we can give them back to you.
The avatars and Signatures will stay.
We will have a bunch more features, including a capta for registering which means no more spam bots (that doesn't mean no more spam)
Go here for a full list of functions in the new board.
And no, the name isn't changing. Silly people

Just to expand on these, since a lot of people are wondering,
This is probably because phpBB2 (this forum) is very old and has been easy to figure out ways to register. The new forum should have features to make it harder for spambots to get into.
Captcha is not the reason for the spam attacks, ive set up the forum in a way that it is really hard for spambot to post on the site. The ones that get through are kind of advanced ones, which will be able to get past the captcha's anyway.Drouge87 wrote:We will have a bunch more features, including a capta for registering which means no more spam bots (that doesn't mean no more spam)

They shouldn't be lost, just unable to be seen. I will have a record of all of them anyway.Drouge87 wrote:Chao points might be lost in the conversion. IF THEY ARE write down your amount so we can give them back to you.
