Welcome to the new Board!

May 28th, 2012, 1:41 pm

Welcome to the new board!

This is almost identical with the old forum - and then again there's huge differences.
The most notable difference is the software and design of the forum. We will continously work on the design until we and you are satisfied, so please bare over with us until then.
The UCP and post pages are all different, but somewhat easier to manage.
I've added the exact same boards with only slight differences - including merges of the house movement and map requests, as well as the two auction/market sections.
Donators still have a premium market where only they can post threads.

I also added a faction section - one for official factions and one for unofficials.
The purpose of the section is to allow factions, official and unofficial, to post their stories, roleplay images etc. there instead of in the job offers section and in other sections where they don't belong.

Therefore, keep the LS Job Center section clear of stories and spam and only post IN CHARACTER applications for your companies, or whatever you may recruit for.

There's also a new section in the Misc. part of the forum (bottom). Since people used the General Talk section for all sorts of discussions where it was meant to be used for server related discussions only, I added a General Discussion board.
The General Discussion Board can be used to discuss anything that is NOT related to the server.
I even made you two sub-forums; Sports and Movies where you can discuss those subjects. Might add more later.


The old board was spammed with random threads, and I hope you will keep this one clean. We might add forum moderators in the future, or allow server helpers to moderate boards.




Faction leaders, admins, donators and everyone else who used to have a forum group - please post here: TEMP: Forum Requests
You can leave feedback in this announcement as well, but please be constructive.

You can retrieve your old threads from here!

This forum is very hard, no shoutbox and everyone have to make new forum accounts so all rep and stuff disappears and the signature and avatar thing is pretty hard but this is just my oppinion -Ryder Wright

The old forums were so easy to read, so cool and I totally agree with Mike.

We'll probably get used to it. No one likes
Facebook changing but after awhile they do.

+1 to the change. Don't like it... YET!

You had to create new accounts because we changed the forum software.
The reputations, posts and everything else would be reset anyway because of the software change.

The old boards was brighter and had some other features as this one, but I'm sure you'll get used to it. :)

The thing is though, phpBB doesn't suck.

And he did not run out of money, myBB had problems after updating the version.

I said be constructive or don't post at all. That is not constructive.
PhpBB does not "suck" either. It's just a complete different software than MyBB which had many flaws as well.
There's no way to satisfy everyone, and we're constantly developing this forum so it will not "suck" as much as you may thing right now.

I think it is possible to transfer all the threads from myBB to phpBB...

Not sure though.

Perhaps, but they won't be. One of the reasons for the whipe of forum was to get rid of useless and unwatched threads.

Well, there's no actual point in even mentioning the shoutbox anymore. Someone suggested it on the suggestion forum and it was denied by MacKenzie so it's clearly not coming back any time soon (and I'm glad to be honest!) :D
