Even though that this is something that has been planned for long time comings, I believe that the hacker attack is a wake-up call for us to start over.
Many key members were deleted due to this hacker attack, and it would make a further mess of things than it already is. Which is one of the primary reasonings why I chose to restart anew. I will keep the old forums up, as I did with the even older forums, while I eventually experiment with the possibility of having most of the older content available through the vault.
With new forums comes new features, Previously, we've run only on Vbulletin 3.5.2 now we're running on 3.7, which is pretty much brand new and more advanced.
As you can see, I'm still in the process of rebuilding things up, but it's enough to get this forums going.
Since that we are starting off a new coding slate, expect quite a few features that has been disabled for almost two year on the forums.
I hope that we can continue to grow and revive, even though the activities has been woefully stagnant as of late. For quite a while I've considered with the possibilities of giving up.
And for those that are wondering, yes, we will still eventually transfer to a new server, but it should be a much easier transition to transfer this forums database, rather than the old one that are just so full of database bugs that I can't even fix.
For now, the staff positions will remain the same.
So go on ahead, and register and re-introduce yourself in the Check-in and start posting threads!
