As some of you are aware of, a new website has been under Administrative development since mid-last year. It was first proposed in the Community Website Diner discussion thread, where persons generally responded positively, and no one attempted to kill it. It was brought up again in a more official capacity (Diner: general chat; Hall of Forever: serious community business) a few months later, in the New Forums thread, where again: no one attempted to kill it.
The forums have since grown too real (and costly) to kill: Eternity RPC Board. There is still some light (and background) work to be done, largely by the Administration Team, before we proceed to corral you all into the new forums. The work will hopefully be done by the coming weekend, so we can move by the end month.
In the mean time, this thread is so you folks can ask questions, voice your concerns, and generally communicate with one another and Administration about this effort.
Now, some key questions you may have and Administration's answer to them:
Half-assed FAQ I gave up in half-way cause I'm busy WHY????????Progress. \o/ Yes, but seriously: a key reason for the move is that the new forums are on a private server that I'll own and, more importantly: have much more access to and control over compared to Zetaboard's. This allows us and I to design and implement custom PHP scripts capable of doing things javascript and regular ol' text cannot do. The best current example is the MTRP statistics page that is at 70% capacity. Having it neat and tidy--and, more important, based on a database--like this enables us to do more with these numbers. The Directorate has plans to implement an interactive and automatic update system, as well as an interactive map akin to this, except better. Mind, these projects aren't right around the corner, but they are liable to happen so long as Eternity remains a thing (isn't that the definition of eternity, though?). It's also considering ways to establish cooler media fronts--you've seen the International, right? Like that, except with more options and easier to work with. Essentially: granting you guys easy-to-fill templates that /look like actual websites/. It's totally possible to do. These are only the more high-profile features Administration has planned. There'll also be more silly things. I'm always granting people fiefs and throwing around statues of me, right? I also think it'd be cool if peoples profiles tracked "fiefs", which do...something. What? We'll think of something. I'm considering that more fiefs = more forum cash, which could be "spent" on things. Basically just fluffing us up. I know that other communities on NS had similar systems once upon a time. I've also mentioned once or twice stuff about interactive characters profiles for character-based Alternative RP--which I hope eventually becomes a larger part of our role play community. But the point is: PHP opens up a button of potential features we could implement, which are not possible through Zetaboard's closed system. Also: this will likely stop happening. Or at least, I could do more about it when it does. What's happening with the Wiki?Wikapedika will be replaced by a wiki hosted on the same server as the forums. This'd allow for more sharing and integration between the two. Additionally, having both on the same (self-hosted) server would allow us greater security. At least one of you have noticed that the current wiki is under threat due to our host shooting itself--this is consequently my priority for the next couple weeks. Setting up the new wiki so you guys can quickly transfer your junk before the current wiki buggers out...next month.

Primary Role Play Countries Ishnalli Empire Empress: Lanryu-il Prime Minister: Shoon-ya Foreign Minister: Soom-gai
| The Ishnalli Empire is a sovereign state located in central-west Ostara, spanning from the Golden Sea in the west to the Yoshina Gulf of the South Ostaran Sea in the southeast. A sprawling state of over four hundred million, the Ishnalli empire is not to be taken lightly; though, its poor GDP per capita of approximately ten thousand leaves it wanting technologically. Ishnalla is perhaps best known for being one of the few state where slavery is government-sanctioned.
| Holy Lanlanian Empire Emperor: Damen II Prime Minister: Bernard Sandlund Foreign Minister: Alec Baldig
| The Holy Lanlanian Empire is a large, powerful sovereign state with territory on nearly every continent. It can perhaps best be considered the current world order's old guard, as it has remained a leading power for centuries. The Holy Lanlanian Imperial Navy is perhaps the largest in the world, and equipped fitting a world power. Though some expect the Holy Lanlanians to decay in the coming decades, the Lanlanians themselves seem intent otherwise.

Character based RP is interesting, as opposed to the usual state-based roleplay With character RP, I mean akin to Andlosheim, Pokemans, Ikartalia; those odd kind alt RPs that we occasionally did. Options are cool.

Okay, given the lack of replies from even nominally active people, we are initiating the move now. You are now officially encouraged to register on the new boards. Instant activation has been enabled until the majority of you are registered; this means you guys won't need to verify your emails, ya lazy bums. Just register and you're good to go. I have also disabled anti-spam security features to make it that much easier on you. So get to. >:V
Additionally, posting new threads on these forums shall be disabled sometime Wednesday, September 7 PST, and posting ANYTHING shall be disabled Friday, Saturday, September 10 PST. That very day I will also add an annoying pop-up telling you to register on the new boards.

Snipped the post. It's been read.
Should the need arise for relevant parties to want to see it again (for whatever reason, silly sadists), I still have it saved on my machine.

Hey man, sorry about freaking a bit. You caught me at a bad time IRL. I was on edge. Feel free to get a hold of me if you'd like to discuss it. I was rude.
