aStonedPenguin Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 The new forums are here! Obviously everything has changed and a fair bit of stuff still needs some tweaking which we'll address over the next few days. We already know some people will have issues with change however in the long run these will better enable us to actually code custom things, not have to worry so much about the unfortunate state of security of the previous forums software that has left ratings and numerous other things broken when pushing security patches. New Features Highlights: These forums unlike most use modern technologies and are blazing fast Topics will live update when you post on them The flags shown when post are based on your location when you made the post Your current browser and OS are shown next to your post so those poor Mac and Internet Explorer users can be made fun of BBCode is out and Markdown is in (see here for formatting help) Ratings are public but they won't notify you like they used to. Did I mention they also live update? Private messages are more like chat rooms You can have multiple ranks so your ranks from all servers will be synced Global chat is nearly instant and no longer has a 1 second delay You can browse while you write a post! A bunch of other stuff What's changing: We have a community category for community discussion as well as the server categories. Do not use the Off Topic category for server stuff. We have removed the leaving section. It was constantly misused for people who won't be on for a whole day. If you're a staff contact an SA+ directly or use the staff section. Shitting up the forums will earn you a ban (banning is really easy on these forums it's great, also there's no warnings system, please don't shit up our hard work) We have no teamspeak sync system yet however we'll likely move this to an in game system over the next week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way. is the old forums gonna be deleted at some stage or merged with this? We weren't able to merge data. Honestly I'm feeling that's for the better since most of the old forums was really cancer and we got a chance to clean up the sections because of it. They will be put in read only mode for a couple months so people can save their threads or w/e then deleted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
