The forums will be down for a while as we upgrade to phpBB v3, etc.

Really depressing, and it seems like there are some problems. Hopefully it comes back soon!

^ Kind of. There are a couple of threads that I liked to check. I just hope they don't have to wipe the forum clean of all threads, that would be quite bad...
Anyway, wish you good luck with your... forum-revamp or something. Cheers.

Oh man, I think that the forums are having major problems, cos nothing shows up other than "No input file specified. " message.

Is that intentional, or a big problem?

abscess Says:

^ Not necessarily. Probably they took out all the old files there to upload the new ones. In the end, the only thing we can do is ask in mm's IRC channel and wait.

It looks like we've finally managed to migrate the database without losing the character encoding (Japanese text, etc). More testing is required, but if all's well we can move on to installing plugins and finishing up.

For the few lurkers who barely enter the forum since it's down (like me):
"Forum should be up sometime tonight! I am installing the last mods and making final changes! -TheXev"
Edit:
Now some problems arise!:
"Now the mod I am installing has had its support pulled! ~_~ WHY!? Can't this conversion just stop going crappy and just work!? -TheXev"

Catastrophe Says:

w00t update!

"Forum should be backup tonight, after some testing. Congratz to phib for breaking the converter! -TheXev"

edit: i HOPE he meant "back up" instead of "backup" <.<

The forums are open again, but several severe changes are still coming in the near future. Please read the global announcement about phpBB v3 for more information.
