Well, in that case, it's not so bad to have this forum here, too. The problem I've seen with experience is that forums attached to websites sometimes aren't very...permanent. If the website goes, so does those forums. 'Tis why I like seperately hosted forums, like I have here.

If the website goes, so does those forums. 'Tis why I like seperately hosted forums, like I have here. I run my server for about 5 years now and i have no plans to give it up - which means as long as its there the website and forums will also be. Anyway if i would decide to do so, iam pretty much sure there would be ways to find another place on the net for the new website and its databank. And again the move was decided by the idea of having easier control of the website's content, which is guranteed with the new CMS. The forums itself are kinda equal regarding functionality. They have another interface and here and there they lack some features, which are a must (polls at forums e.g.). However i am sure this problem can be solved in the near future though. The design is always discussable. Open for any suggestions regarding the new forums. Running two forums simultaneously is not a good idea. Too much data will be lost. Its also not so comfy to check one board and the the other. If ppl dont use the new forums then they also miss website related stuff automatically. I would like to see this whole board closed down and only be used as an archive. If it is required this forums can be unlocked by any time.

Well, it would be best for me if this forum could be on the new website. I will never leave this forum until it will be finally closed...

How about we keep this forum 'sleeping' and the new forum as our primary one. Having 2 forums make things difficult.

All people have to do is just stop posting. It's not like the forums before this one "closed down". It was still open for a really, really long time after this one was made. People just moved over.

I'd announce it over on the MB forums, seeing as the only forum traffic you're getting are the ones who can be bothered to hunt it down after coming to these old ones.
