The reason I am putting him as an admin is because he seems to understand the workings of mySQL which incase of the server exploding. (rare but possible with my luck) He is able to troubleshoot the problem without me having to be around. I am a fulltime IT tech after all I rarely have any freetime myself. But is it only You? (Solo), Dagoth and Necno that I need to worry about putting in the mod group for now?

I think Necno and Dagoth are enough for now. Old board didn't have any mods and there weren't any problems :).

Dagoth:
I'd prefer SMF as I've worked with it extensively (admin, setup, advanced modding, theme creation, etc.) rather than vBulletin which I've never worked with except as a standard user, but... OK. With SMF we would also easily be able to transfer everything over from here and not lose the existing posts again. Oh well.

Yeah, I doubt much any moderation will be needed in the foreseeable future.

There are other themes available, including already a few nice dark variations of this current one, though I guess that doesn't matter if we're switching to a vBulletin forum.

hi...
i'm new around here...
i have some knowledge about different kind of forums
so if you still need help with getting that forum to run or editing something i can help
but as the previous poster i'd prefer this this forum
i worked with IPB (invision) but i think i can adapt quite easy to vBulletin


i know there is no need for more staff members on a forum this small...
to tell you the truth i don't even want to be a staff member, i just want to offer some help thats all
as this game is developing pretty good so far ^-^

Solo761:
When it's all ready I'll upload new index page with link here. That way the everyone who gets here can update their bookmarks.

Dagoth:
If this falls through, I can offer hosting for the forum myself in the near future. I would have offered earlier, but my personal VPS hosting plan is currently intermittently saturating a 100 megabit network connection ( :o ) and I don't need any more strain added to that. I've just heard from my host that they're supposed to upgrade the server to a gigabit connection pretty soon, at which point that won't be a issue. I'd have no problem keeping all of the current forum data either, assuming Solo can export the DB from the current host.

Figured I'd put that forward since we haven't heard from Lorn in a few days.

EDIT:
Also, I've successfully registered and tested the free domain "pinkpetal.uni.me" for the site, whether it ends up on Lorn's hosting or mine.
