EKCO Posted May 3, 2015 Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 We will be moving to a new forum provider in a little over a month's time. In this time, please transfer over what threads you would like preserved into their corresponding categories (Database / Guides / Balance Debates, etc). The forum address will remain the same. The temporary address is: http://aeonofstorms.freeforums.net/ When we make the switch, you will be able to access it using the www.aeonofstorms.com If there are features you would like to see on the new forums, let me know and I'll try my best to add them. EDIT: We're still evaluating options for migrating the forum to a new webhost, so you may not have to transfer all the databases, etc. For now, hold while we finish investigating our options.

Skydie Posted May 3, 2015 Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 I made an account, but my name appears with a little 's' rathern than a capital. Can this be changed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkr Posted May 3, 2015 Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 (edited) Wait.... Can't we just download the IPS Client off ipbmafia.ru and upload it to our own free server by 000webhost.com and rename it as aeonofstorms.ga? Only the host name will change, you won't have to pay, and the forum will still be pretty. Everyone wins.

BestPlayer Posted May 3, 2015 Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 Why the move? That new design looks like shap ZERATUL, Maxwell, OPReN and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkr Posted May 3, 2015 Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 Why the move? That new design looks like shap As much as I don't like it, it's alright.Its because IPB (the current provider) takes like a lot of money for their product and domain aeonofstorms.com, and it'd be much cheaper just to use domain aeonofstorms.com from a provider like hostgator or godaddy, and use a free forum client. But knowing me, I'd like to get the forum 'for free' and put it on our own server (etc. aeonofstorms.ga) hosted my 000webhost.com, so we have everything for free. Things would even be better, since we would have more features for free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZERATUL Posted May 3, 2015 Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 Is it possible to change design? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkr Posted May 3, 2015 Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 Is it possible to change design? No. The forum design is inprinted within the forum. If we change it back to IPBoard for free, we would be able to use this, or any of these (and more) designs "for free". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skydie Posted May 3, 2015 Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 Forums look straight out of 2003. Just missing the bright blue flames and annoying animations. Why can't we have a nice clean look? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hogwarts Posted May 3, 2015 Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 $30 a month vs free (?) I feel like the traffic lost is a greater loss then the 30$ a month. Not every one will convert to the new forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not every one will convert to the new forum. if the database transfer is a success, everyone will automatically be transfered.If it is a failiure, we'll have an ipb forum, but everything will be blank. Lets hope for the first one! I'll begin the transfer attempt tomorrow. Wish me luck! Edited May 4, 2015 by Darkr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
