Finally the new forum software is installed. There are still some things we have to do so please be patient, if you notice a bug please report it in the bug reporting thread and no where else. If you are reporting a bug, look BEFORE you post to see if someone else already reported it. If someone else did, then just post any extra information you have in there. If you have no extra/helpful information, do not add to the thread. And for the love of God don't just go "I see this too!". I swear if you start doing this, I'll set up a special member group called "Dunces" and stick you in the corner for a month. =P

The forums will be reorganized, some less popular/unused sections will be removed, etc. So don't freak out if you come in one day and can't find your topic, just go looking for it because odds are I did some house cleaning and moved it somewhere else.

Member levels will be initiated, meaning for a certain level of donation (IE: $5 a year or more) you will get added benefits on the website. What you get and how much hasn't been determined, so don't ask just yet because I don't know. I will be giving those who donated these benefits because they, and only they, made this website last another year, and this upgrade possible. So thank you again to those who donated, you guys/gals seriously rock!

We are also looking into company sponsorship in the way of advertisements. But these sponsors will be in line with our interests here on Crossplay.net. I am in talks with a breast form store right now about this, and seriously I would recommend them to anyone. Even before I approached them about advertising, they were going the extra mile for me just as the average customer. So keep an eye out for their advertisements on here, and please do not block ads and at least visit their site and check out what they have.

I am also going to be doing some great new projects for the website, I won't give out all the details because the last time I did that a certain competing website stole my ideas and paid people to make that content for them. So keep an eye out for wonderful new content on Crossplay.net!

As always, if you have any suggestions please feel free to share them in the appropriate forum. I will entertain all sane ideas, and will laugh and point at the insane ones. Also, you can now comment on news items, so feel free to share your thoughts on the new website by responding to this! We want to hear what you think! But make sure BUG REPORTS go only to the BUG REPORT section. Replying to this is for opinions only.

Thank Alexia too, she did all the database converting that saved all the old data! =3 With out that, it would have either been a complete wipe of data or paying $180 to have someone else do it for us. So BIG thanks to Alexia!

[emlscs]

Yay #2: :mr green: is still around...

Thank you, Kimberly, Alexia, and all of the others who helped to redo and upgrade the Crossplay website. As a noob myself, I would not have been able to do much to help out, but the least that I can do is say to all, "Thank you for a job well done " !

[venus-chan]

Thank you everyone who helped for all the work that went into the new forum.  

[Kimberly]

All that helped was Alexia (most of the hard work in converting) and myself doing all the other tasks to get it ready (ie: settings, skin creation, uploading, purchasing software, etc) =3 It may not sound like a lot, but I did a good bit. But Alexia had a lot of the hard work since converting data from one form to another is not easy or pleasant. But that saved me paying the Invision Power Board people $180 to do it for us.
