OLD FORUM BACK UP! Or not...

[The Skarzs]

I know, right? I mean, we have the old forum back up, but this one has been pretty much a copy of it, and the only thing different, really, is the information in it. It's a copy.
So what happens? Do we take what we want from the old forum and bring it here, our new home, which we have settled into, or do we move back?

Ach!

Bugzez. Beautiful.

Firstly, there's no formatting.

Secondly, I can only get there from the link in the announcements. The forum tab on the website doesn't work.

Pictures attached. Or not. The second one is too big.

^Same with access; but I think they're working on the bugs. Matthias said "it's an ongoing process."

I'm ecstatic to have the old forum and all of those old topics back, there are so many good memories, but at this point I've been on this forum longer and have been more active here. The LAF is also cleaner, better developed, the administrator is reachable, and I trust it not to go screwy. This is pretty much home now. We were forced to turn away from the old forum and move here, and I don't plan to take what's happened here and move it all back there. I'll stay semi-active on both, but this is my forum, though I haven't been very active lately anyway.

I just don't want the forums to be split completely apart. Given the activity on here, I feel this may become the main forum. However, the older members will still want to stick around the old one, I'm sure, partly because of nostalgia and also because they may not want to go through the trouble of moving topics back here. (Though I'm still going to do that.)

I have a message from Sierra. RAF webmaster Steven is working on the entire site, and the graphical-back-ups should be installed very soon, restoring the forum's layout to what it used to be before it went down.

Also, the forum name changed from "Redwall Abbey Forum" to "Redwall Abbey FAN Forum". The forum officially belongs to the community now; it is hosted independently from the main RedwallAbbey.com site. While the RedwallAbbey.com webmaster is technically still in charge, he would rather leave the forum to the community.

Wow... this is weird now. I'm so, so, sooo excited to see the old forum back up!!!! But at the same time...

James has done a spectacular job with the Loamhedge Forum. I feel like if I try to split myself between the two sites, I'll just wind up being on one more than the other. Not really sure what to do here - I mean, the original goal for this forum was a temporary fix, nothing ever was supposed to be permanent... right?

James has a plan to merge the forums, it might not end up as a problem.

WOO!
