So I am sure those of you that don't already know are curious as to why the site has changed. Well, I'll be 100% honest and tell you all that it was because vBulletin asked me to remove their software and I didn't really feel like being sued so I complied. I have been working on this new forum for the past 4-5 days in all my spare time doing the best I could do to make it as familiar as possible. I understand it will take some adjusting but hopefully you will be able to navigate your way around. I will be making some posts in the new "Site FAQs" area to help out. In the meantime, here's a few things that are obviously different:

1. There is no more "hiding" of posts. All links will now be visible to all site members (not guests) without having to click the thanks button. I feel like this is a better method to have and the old way was getting old.

2. There will be a couple new ways to gain VIP membership status. I have posted a couple ways in the FAQ section already and will be adding another way shortly.

3. The shoutbox is simplified. There is no bloated crap added to it. It is a shoutbox and a shoutbox only.

4. The speed of the site is drastically faster. Why? Because I have kept the extra crap to a minimum and it isn't vBulletin which is a resource hog. This will also help those of you that were getting caught up in ip bans due to the absurd amount of connections vBulletin needed when you loaded a page.

------------------------

I was able to transfer all users over. You will have to reset your password before you can log in. I didn't transfer posts/threads over because I wanted the site to have a fresh feel to it. Avatars/signatures/profile info was not kept so you will have to re-add that yourselves.

Remember, if you have any questions or suggestions, you can post your ideas/questions in the "Feedback and Comments" forum. I'm all ears and all the staff will help you with whatever you need. Thanks everyone.

great changings

is it possible for new threads/posts to be shown in shoutbox?

Every thing will be done ASAP, Just few days and it will be best then the other one.

No, that feature will not be added back. It congests the shoutbox too much. The area below the shoutbox will display the newest posts and you can also use this link: YOU MUST REGISTER TO SEE THIS CONTENT
