New Forums! « Thread Started on Aug 30, 2009, 4:28pm »
Hey, guys. So we've been making do with this Proboards thing for a while, and it's got its up (free, loads fast) and downs (everything else). Poked about at other options now and then, but something always seems to come up that sends us scurrying back. Well, no more - thanks to Valinar, TRI now has our own brand new set of forums at the convenient TotallyRaiding.com!
Going over there, all our old archived posts are in place, and we're in the process of a bit of cleanup as well. But by and large, this just gives us a more dependable, personalized place to host things without a bunch of regrettable banner ads. There's also several different skins available under your user control panel, under Board Preferences.
Lastly, your PM inbox on these forums should contain your temporary password for the new forums, which can be changed through the control panel upon login. You can also change your user name, which might be handy since a lot of you have shuffled your display names throughout a series of alts and such on these boards.
One last thing - I'll be locking this forum tomorrow morning at around 5 AM. It'll still be here if you need to check your PMs and get your temp password; you just won't be able to post. Thanks again to Valinar, and everyone enjoy the new boards!

Also, if you haven't gotten a PM with your temporary password, just wait a while. It turns out Proboards doesn't like me sending out PMs every second, so I'm having to slow way down on sending passwords (currently down to every 25 seconds, seeing if it'll let me get away with that.) They'll all get sent sometime today, though.
Everybody should now have their temporary password! PM me or Tarquin on here if you don't; we can reset your password.
Also, searching on the new forums is currently sketchy as I haven't built an index. There's one post somewhere that's preventing me from doing it, and as soon as I find and clobber that one, we'll have a good sitewide search function.
Found and killed the offending post; search should work now!
