Heads up: Forum migration this weekend
Posted: Fri Oct 25, 2019 1:16 pm
Bit of a short notice, but it seems like we will be migrating to phpBB3 this weekend.
- The forum will go in maintenance mode during this transition.
- The new site should be up within an hour or two.
- We'll be missing this theme but we / I'll come up with something.
Reasons for switching: SMF is lagging really behind development.
Not trying to complain here as it's 100% free software. But, in order to reduce the spam we receive, and to make sure our site is protected - we must migrate.
Less spam, more security. Double yay.
Will we lose anything? No. Posts, users, everything will be migrated. I have done a test migration and everything worked the same way.
Thank you for your understanding.
