As long as there's squirrel/Edward from Cowboy Bebop icons/avatars, I'm fine with it.

Greetings The Matrix Online Community!



On Tuesday, July 18, 2006 Sony Online Entertainment will be transitioning The Matrix Online Official Forums to an internal forum solution.Transitioning to this new system gives us the opportunity to offer new functionality and update the system as often as needed. The new forums solution gives us greater flexibility and allows us to provide you with a better forum experience.



Your Forum Handles, post counts, posts, etc., will be transferred from the existing forums to the new forums.bookmarks, subscriptions, friends lists, floated threads, etc., will most likely not transfer over.If you currently use any of these, you will want to make note of them before the transition, so that you can set them up once again, after the transition occurs.



Forum Ranks (titles) will go through some changes.However, you will automatically receive the appropriate new ranks and titles upon login.Those of you with specialized forum ranks and privileges will be adjusted after the launch of the new forums or shortly thereafter.



During the transition period, the forums will be down for 48 hours.A single temporary board will be available during this time.Data will not be transferred from the temporary forum, so don’t get too comfortable there.If any of this information changes, we will post the updated information on the official website.



Once the new forums are live we will provide more information on all of the new features.



Thank you and see you on the new forums!

Awesome, can't wait to see what the new forums look like. And thanks for that heads up about the temporary forum PBlade, I missed that one.

Fixed :smileyvery-happy:


But yeah, basically it means (to me it looks anyway) SOE have developed their own in house forum system as opposed to using lithium.

I know I'm gonna do a bit of spamming in there. How about you? Maybe you should put in a petition to have your name fixed during the move. SMILEY Maybe I should, too.

I remember the last time the forums changed - I (on teh old accountzor) spammed the hell out of the new boards, by the time that night was over I had hundreds of posts and the highest post count. And then the RESET of DOOM SMILEY

Hehe... glad to hear all the major stuff will transfer over... but I will mis these forums SMILEY

If the devs want to move this to Broadcast Depth, by the way, feel free.



If not, we'll just banter here.

If the forums turn out to be vBulletin, I will be the happiest subscriber to this game SMILEY

Even if they're halfway to the functionality of vB, I'll be happy.

Let's face it, Lithium forums are the suxxor SMILEY

#10300003777 07/07/2006 11:35:45 Re: New forums, eh?
I vote that the temp forum should be named The Champagne Room.


Seriously! Then NOBODY can say they haven't seen it SMILEY
Shame it's a Tuesday though, these forums are like ... 70% of my time at work.

As far as the white goes; who knows. I'm getting really fond of this
gray--Possibly only because it's not too much a strain on the eyes.
That, and images are better complimented on a dark background, usually.

This is good, they really needed to make the change.  Lithium's software has too many security and privacy holes to be effective for this audience.
