OK, so I've been deliberating about this for a while, and I think it will push through. I'm moving our forums to <a href='http://invisionboard.com' target='_blank'>IPB</a>, a much better and more robust version of the message boards we have now. Invision Power Board is the board software used in such sites as <a href='http://armoredcoreonline.com' target='_blank'>ACO</a>, <a href='http://rn.acnest.com' target='_blank'>The Raven's Nest</a> and <a href='http://armoredcore.org' target='_blank'>The Raven's Haven</a>.
Just to list down some of the advantages we'll get: - easier skin implementation (no more skin loading times!), </li>
- a working search function (so if you weren't using search before, you better start), </li>
- connection with other features (such as the Photo Gallery), </li>
- better modability and support, and </li>
- a whole new level of that 'legit' feel.
 </li>
If everything goes according to plan, this shall happen very soon. By then the new URL of the forums will be <a href='http://ravenrepublic.net/forums' target='_blank'>http://ravenrepublic.net/forums</a>. <- everything is consolidated under the ravenrepublic.net URL now.
Also, you will NOT have to register again. I'm in the process of acquiring our database from InvisionFree so that nothing (much) of great importance will be lost. That means your account and all your posts will be kept intact in the move. However, not everything can be ported over into IPB, so some data will probably have to be rebuilt again.
Guys, I know it's irritating to move when you're settled in. But this will most definitely be the last move I'm going to make to the forums, unless something bad happens, so please bear with it.
During the move itself, the boards will be turned off so that no posts that come after I acquire the database will be lost when we port it over. First time in quite a while that I will be doing that. Expect around 1-2 days as a time when the boards will be down.
So, bid your farewells to InvisonFree soon. It served us well, but as a growing community, it's time for something better.
For the Republic!

LOL I'll have to see. Right now the host provider I'm looking into still wants everyone to post in English, as much as possible.

Future explanation's basically the same. Host wants us to use mostly English. No English, no host. No host, no forums.

Then we should make a live RR forum!
Like example; To log in; you need to go to the place where the RR is (preferably Leperman's house), and then we'll have lots of papers and then instead of posting on the net, we should write our posts and then paste it into one of the walls hanging at Leperman's house (topics), and to log out... we simply leave Leperman's house.
Hey that was just a joke lol.

C'mon guys, try not to be off-topic in every last one. No need to post in every last one either if you don't really have anything to contribute. Make an effort to keep the place clean.

EDIT: Boards may be down longer than I though, around 4-5 days maybe.
