DOLPHINATSU WILL KILL U! Posts: 3,667 Group: Marquess Member #1 Joined: 04/23/06 Gender: Female ♀	Since now I have a domain cloaking error on my fan site to this forum, and will be fixed whenever [It said a couple of hours, whoop-de-doo.]. I decided to check out my Admin options and I saw a new option to "Convert to ZetaBoards" for free and such. So I decided maybe it's time for an upgrade in the future... Here an idea of how ZetaBoards look like: http://support.zetaboards.com/index The thing that really make me like this was that the search buttons seems to work much better now. And I bet there are many little stuff I'm not noticing now, but it might be good for the forum. But if the ZetaBoards doesn't work out, should I move the forum to a new host? I am getting a bit annoyed with the search button and there may be little stuff that I don't know about. So if ZetaBoards doesn't work out, maybe I can try: http://www.vbulletin.com Here's an example forum: http://www.video-game-forums.com Let me know what you think. I only ask this because I just saw the option available to me.

Vbulletin is a good place also. Whatever you feel would be best I suppose. Either way, I'd still visit the forum. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. XD

Posts: 3,667 Group: Marquess Member #1 Joined: 04/23/06 Gender: Female ♀	So far, on the Support Forum for ZetaBoards, they say that the posts will stay in tact and everything. So it'll be just like moving from one server to another. I don't know how long the down-time would be or how long it would take to convert.

	The Reasons Clock Tower And Resident Evil Can't Be Crossed Over: 1. Alyssa would pwn all the zombies. 2. Bobby would probably kill someone. It's his job. 3. Jennifer would solve the puzzles in minutes. AND 4. Bates owns Wesker and that is that.

DOLPHINATSU WILL KILL U! Posts: 3,667 Group: Marquess Member #1 Joined: 04/23/06 Gender: Female ♀	Yeah, I want to keep the skin and everything as much as I can. The only problem is that if I do convert, there really isn't a way to convert back in case if we don't like the new changes. So what I can do is that I can do maybe a test forum and see if it works? Then delete it if I don't like it.

DOLPHINATSU WILL KILL U! Posts: 3,667 Group: Marquess Member #1 Joined: 04/23/06 Gender: Female ♀	Who wants to test it out with me? [That means free spamming! =D ] And I might also have to test out Mods and stuff. So yeah, who wants to test it out with me and see if they would like it or not from a personal standpoint. I think I'll allow just three people aside myself for the meantime. CURRENT TESTERS: - 1.) enigmaopoeia. - 2.) Lime. - 3.) bugashi. - 4.) RetroScissorman. EDIT: So far I am really liking all of the stuff that they are offering me, such as I can upload my own avatars without having to work so hard on stupid coding. So that really helps me out. There's also more smilies to choose from. [They're all blue though, augh.] And so far I am really liking this new ZetaBoards.

DOLPHINATSU WILL KILL U! Posts: 3,667 Group: Marquess Member #1 Joined: 04/23/06 Gender: Female ♀	Okay, now that I had Lime, bugashi, and RetroScissorman test out the forum. They seem to pretty much like it. Just for others to know, here is what does get converted over: http://support.zetaboards.com/topic/42858/1/#new So it's pretty much everything. It's like InvisionFree, but with more better options and I am pretty excited about it. So I want you guys to please vote on the poll on the top post because I want the members, you guys, to feel positive about this convert as much as I am. Just to reinstate stuff, the layout will be converted over and I will make any graphical changes so the forum would pretty much look like this to some extent. ^^;;

Mmm... Rubber~ Posts: 862 Group: Detective Member #144 Joined: 07/02/07 Gender: Male ♂	Change is good, so I'm up for it! I'm sure once everything is converted then it will look better than the plain look of the example. Let's do this! :D

Posts: 1,243 Group: Hospital Director Member #73 Joined: 03/13/07	Well...just make sure I get the new address, hopefully it works as well as you guys say it will.
