    I see a Mynock circling behind me, Kassie. [face_worried]

    I want my username to be Jaden. Just Jaden, no 1138. Is that possible? The person who is "Jaden" has not logged on in 3 years. Pleeeaaaassssse? [face_batting]

    Maybe this was not revealed to be an April Fool's Joke yet... because it wasn't one. :p

    Well, the announcement is still up on 4/2, so I imagine it probably is true.
    I've been on and off this site since 2005 mostly browsing. Except for a few frequently visited areas, I sometimes have trouble navigating the pages, so if this "upgrade" is true, then I'll stop accidentally going into locked boards with the strikethroughs on all the topics (One of the Lit sub forums comes to mind).

    The whole MSU/ATB is true:

    Some mods are away.
    We are moving.
    Games are looking for players.
    Jedi-Con starts tomorrow.

    In short that is. ;) :)

    Two things Dingo...

    1) Please remove the sand from your private area and laugh a little. It was a joke I am sure this move won't happen anytime soon if it even happens at all. I don't know if you noticed this yet but every post I have made about this move has been a joke. If you thought otherwise please see a physician immediately a CAT scan is necessary.

    &

    B) vB does not have that restriction. As for that...yeah anyway. If we are transferring everything from here to there then it won't matter if they have that restriction or not. It is locked in place. Having_underscores or-dashes now won't change having them there if the plan is to just copy/paste what is here to there.


    I hope that the Mod-minz take this the distant so we move to a new board system, then move back here. THAT would be the awesome-est April Foolz joke I have seen in my tenure here.

    No. Having direct access to the database does allow for things like changing usernames, etc. I'm not saying that we'll do that, however.

    Yeah I saw the new thread already Grimby and posted in it too. Both probably before you even saw my post in here. But like you said you all have no idea when it is gonna happen. I am skeptical about when it will happen myself. If it is as serious and massive as you say I see it taking a while to figure out the details, after all it wouldn't be smart to just fly by the seat of your pants on this one.

    Indeed you did. :) I think besides you, the only other person who posted anything to that effect was Jacen.

    Believe me, we've already been planning for two weeks now, and since we already did this once before, we know what needs to be done. We know what we're doing, so hopefully this transition will go as smoothly as possible.

    You may be skeptical about when this is going to happen, but in all seriousness, prepare for this board to be shut down as soon as IGN does their data export. As soon as we know when that is going to happen, we will make sure you know as well.

    With the move away from IGN can we have a spoiler tag and a strikethrough tag? I asked about this a while ago but I thought I'd ask about it again as I don't think we could do it while still on IGN.

    Edit: I would also like to raise the point of PM lists and sending several identical PMs to people on a list to inform them when a fanfic has been updated. It doesn't have to be a board feature just as long as we can do it automatically somehow.

    Gotta agree we you, more HTML functions would be nice. And better image support.

    Again - shiny new features may be implemented, but only *after* we get the new board running properly. I am sure you would like to keep your posts, threads, watched user lists etc, more than you'd like image support.

    While I agree that some of this would be nice, its something we'll look at AFTER the move is completed. Not now.
