Hopefully it actually does go through, once the conversion is complete that's when the real fun begins. That is all, if anyone has any questions or comments feel free to PM myself or my fellow admins. Thank you.

But I promise that I will learn to use the new features and try to teach myself how things work, it's supposed to be easier to use than the current format right?

Or will all old posts be kept? Nope posts will be kept. We will lose the skin, and the mods i have, like the arcade, but they won't be hard to replace.

The poster formerly known as TP Posts: 11,047 Group: Members Member #22 Joined: October 30, 2005 Gender Male	Yay, I love the new skin already. ^^ Just a suggestion for our old custom skin, make it wider, hell, make it dynamically fill the entire width of the user's browser window, it's far too slim as it is now. And thanks for using my banner.
