So the new site always demands an e-mail address from now on, huh. My current e-mail address is infinitely far from valid, it has long since been destroyed for inactivity. Still absolutely and violently hate that new carconigenic mobile disaster, so it wouldn't be much of a loss anyway. Well, except for those MyFreeones points which I might use for getting maybe one thing once.
As for the forum, that actually seems promising. One thing though: rather than having that irrelevant piece of shit rep system with no value whatsoever and prone to being forcefully reset or divided by 100 or whatever when the most active users start exceeding MAX_INT_REP, just have ID rep for the ID board. Every correct ID would gain exactly one point of ID rep per correct post per thread, regardless of how many users would rep you for that correct ID. That sort of a counter would actually have some kind of use, as everyone could then see how competent and active "identifier" you are.
We will have the username on the login, but a few things came up that i have to have fixed first. Until then, if you hit up Adam he can tell you what mail you were registered under and even update it for you.
Xenforo has a point system and I haven't looked into it beyond that. What I do know is the vBulletin rep won't be transferring over and the points system will start from scratch. At least you guys will have something to do. ;-)
What is the URL of this new site? So we can go and have a look.
And so this message board will be closed here? You are copying the posts and threads over to the new message board?
https://board.freeones.com will be closed when the new site is set up.
Do you know how long before the move? By summer or winter or next year?
The current vBulletin board will be closed down and everything (users, threads, forum sections, etc) will be ported to the new site. The only thing that won't be exported is reputation since the Xenforo point system doesn't correlate with the rep system over on this side.
We've already successfully imported all the users and posts into our sandbox version of the new forum so now the next task is figuring out the integration of the forum into the new site (i.e. 1 login), user groups and permissions to make sure that can be exported as well.
Hopefully we'll be ready with the new forum early next month. If not the end of this month and we're switching the rest of the traffic to the new site in April and shutting off the old site.
