Hello all,
As many of you know I've been threatening to move the board since the big EZ meltdown where EZboards was hacked and all the data destroyed.
I think I've found the solution and if everything goes as planned we'll be moving this coming weekend. The board will be on vBulletin, so if you've been around the web it will be pretty familiar to you.
Here are some examples:
statueforum.com/
OneSixthWarriors
Palisades Toys
Supposedly we will be able to move the posts, however everyone will need to re-register. You will lose your postcount. I'm sorry about that, but I think the extra features we'll have will be worth it. Explore other vBulletin boards and you'll see the variety of things that we'll be able to do. For example, when you register you can add your ebay ID. Also you can upload an Avatar rather than having to find someplace to host it. And I'm sure there are lots of things I haven't discovered yet.
I've changed the structure a bit - for example, no 'polls" forum since you can do a poll in any forum. I've added a couple of forums as well, you'll all see when you go over there.
The URL will be www.sideshowcollectors.com - it's being transferred right now so it's not active. As always I will be open to any suggestions anyone might have. The new chat system uses Flash rather than Java, so make sure you have the latest Flash player or the chat might be frustrating.
Also there is a front page with some cool features (I think) but you can get to the forums by clicking "Forums" on the navigation bar or using the partial forum list on the front page.
I'll let everyone know when the move is official, but probably will be Friday or Saturday. And I will be keeping the EZ board, mainly to redirect people coming here, but also if anyone has problems logging into the vBulletin board you can report them here.
I hope you all will make the move, I think it will be a huge improvement in many ways.
If you have any pre-release questions please post them in this thread.
Thanks!
