annuinJust a note for those of you reading who frequent the GN forum.
We'll be switching the software from Ikonboard to phpBB soon, as soon as today or tomorrow, once it's themed etc.
The current software isn't really being maintained or supported anymore, and phpBB has a much more active developers community.
No information or posts will be lost, we'll be migrating it all (after all these years I'd hate to have to start again, let me tell you).
Edit: As of Sunday afternoon 1pm EST, the forums are down while data is being transferred and the new software put in place.

I converted an old phpBB forum to SMF and haven't looked back.
When you log onto the admin page it tells you "This version is old. Click here to update" and give it the FTP details and it does it all for you :D

Add to that that PreZ is the one responsible for the technical aspects of the site/forums, he gets to "plug the holes".
