Greetings, internet people! As some of you are aware, the next version of the FCS is almost complete. All the server-side coding is done, and all that's left now is to migrate content from V7 to V8. There's just one more little addition that needs to be brought up, and it's a big change - we're migrating from proboards to phpBB.
Why the migration? Well, a few reasons, really, the biggest being the lack of flexibility on proboards. Even when compared to forum software such as invisionfree, proboard is not very powerful, and it's customization features are very limited, at best. Another reason for the migration is that the software came free with the new host, plus we get our own domain name for the new board. No more remembering long, complicated urls!
What does this mean for ROERS 1-3? Well, ROER2 will already be closing down, since it's clear that there isn't any intention on reviving the RP there. As for 1 and 3, they'lll remain online so you can view the archives, until I figure out exactly what to do with those. Other than the Meandering Moogle roleplay, it'd be pointless to keep them open, but I'd also hate to delete them from the face of the universe, either. We'll see.
But other than that, I don't think there's anything else to add to this post, other than if you've got any concerns or have any serious objections to the move (and unless you -really- like the idea of lurking around on a dead board, I don't see why you'd want to object), then feel free to raise any questions you have and we'll talk about them. But what I'd really like to say is try to expand your mind a bit and give the new board a chance. Who knows? You might even come to like it
