The forums have been successfully migrated to
THLiVE v2! Don't mind the little bit of downtime we had during the transition.
Moving the forums is something that's been considered before, especially since phpBB, the software we were using, was pretty darn slow and insecure. It's now running PunBB, which I've been using for another site of mine,
Okami Online. It's definitely faster, more efficient, and more secure. There are less features, of course. One thing which doesn't come by default is private messaging, a feature that I really don't see the use of today, but I'll see if people want it back.
All your accounts and posts have been transferred over to the new boards, so there's no need to worry. Some user-specific settings didn't transfer over though, such as avatars and some custom titles. You may also see a plain blue theme when you log in - just head over to Profile -> Display, and change your 'preferred style' to THLiVE.
Why now, you may be asking? I was going to keep it a secret, but I'm working on completeing THLiVE v2 - a complete overhaul of the site's code. You've seen it pop up from time to time, more recently with the Challenges section re-launch. Feel free to look around, although many sections aren't yet complete. Once that's done, it will replace the existing THLiVE site completely, along with these old forums.
For now though, hope you like the new forums!
