IF this was done,... could it:
1) Be hosted on Odd.net??
2) Use Alcar's vBulletin's licence?
I wouldn't mind it being hosted on OddNet's server. However, a vBulletin license is only valid for one installation, and that currently, is the Oddworld Forums (which won't be changing). So another would have to be purchased.

Don't mold my double post into one...I use seperate posts to express seperate thoughts and messages. Please.

Alcar- 160 bucks doesn't sound so bad. I could do it. Thats about 13 hours at work...no biggy. Of course I don't think I should pay the full price...EH PEOPLE? Anyway. We could jsut keep OWF as a souvenir...because that's all it really is. Also...what kind of ressurgence are you expecting from Citizen Siege? If you think the same 30 memebers becoming more active qualifies as a ressurgence...well...that's you. Some idiots will probably make some kind of new Citizen Siege forum and go there...and they'll discuss Lorne's new stuff. They won't know about oddworld. But they will know Citizen. I could be wrong though. I haven't been here long enough to totally confirm that. So you tell me how shit really is.
Double posting is considered spam here, so I'm afraid I do need to merge all of your double posts. We can't give you an exception while everyone else manages to follow the rules.

To be honest, I don't know why other people on the Internet would choose to visit this new cult gaming forum over previously established forums for those games. I took a look around the Internet, and there is already http://www.lucasforums.com which handles Grim Fandango and Psychonauts (and I think a few others) and there is already an active Neoseeker forum for Psychonauts as well: http://www.neoseeker.com/forums/inde...e_forum&f=3988. They are well established from what I can see (especially the LucasForums).

As for Citizen Siege, we have had plans in place to accommodate for it for a while now - the forums have already been geared up, and there are things going on behind the scenes which will make our switch to Citizen Siege a smooth one. I doubt Oddworld discussion will ever completely cease, and I believe that with Citizen Siege being developed it will attract members who remember, and liked Oddworld.

Alcar...
