Moving to a new forum
Quote from msleeper on October 6, 2009, 2:54 amHey everyone, just wanted to give you all a heads up.
We will be moving to a new forum in the next couple of days. This has honestly been a long time coming, and frankly I'm surprised I haven't done it sooner. I am going to be doing my best to preserve all of the posts and other content here at TWP in moving it over.
That said, everyone needs to expect to have some things getting lost.
- User pruning. I am going to clean out the closet of old users and/or users who never fully registered in the first place. If you have 0 posts, or you haven't logged in in over a calender year, you might want to think about stopping by or else you might get deleted.
- Post attachments won't transfer over I don't think. If you have anything important in an attachment, go to the forums and download it now and re-upload it when we move.
- The Download Database is going to be a tricky situation, I still am not sure how I am going to handle that. Rest assured that we're not going to lose all of our uploaded content.
- The TWP Wiki. Keep it or leave it? Post and decide.
Like all good things in life, the change over is going to come suddenly and without warning or remorse. Don't get deleted, login and post right now!

Good luck with the move, I've moved and/or upgraded a few forums myself, and it's never easy.

Quote from Nacimota on October 6, 2009, 4:58 amKeep the wiki, man; it's full of very useful information even just for non-members searching google. Deleting it would be such a waste.
Or at least, if you don't want to keep the wiki, give me a chance to back up some of the content so I can copy it to my own server.

Quote from Riven on October 6, 2009, 7:11 amYes, definitely keep the wiki; I may not ever post here since the competition I participated in, but I do send people here looking for Portal mapping help from time to time.
Good luck with the move!

Quote from WinstonSmith on October 6, 2009, 8:03 amDefinitely keep the wiki. There's tons of basic info as well as many great tutorials. Also, I think it might be helpful to make the Download Database "Upload File" button an actual button, instead of just a link at the top of the pages.
