Important Oddworld Forums Announcement

Sydney · #1 02-09-2002, 10:18 AM

The other day we got an email from the server that hosts the webspace Oddworld Forums occupies. They're in the middle of another merge and informed me that Oddworldian.net has not yet merged due to the massive size we're taking up. 150 megabytes, apparently. We were presented with the option to:[list=a][*]Upgrade to a more costly plan.[*]Discontinue the service.[/list=a]Many of you know Pilot has a server of his own. He graciously offered to host the forums, for which we should all be extremely thankful for. So the forums will be moving within the next few days.

More exciting news is that we'll be moving from the UBB to a new software called vBulletin, a similar style forum that has many more features. It's quite an expensive piece of software that Abe Babe has paid for, I'm going to reimburse her with 50% of the costs (since we're both Admins).

Rest assured that all posts, accounts and member information will be preserved in the move.

Sydney & Abe Babe, Administrators.

A question and a stupid one I think...

When is this all gonna happen?

It's already happened, so I guess this topic can be closed now.
