...for when we make the final move to the Elite MoFo, yet? I've seen the subject come up in a topic in Knothole, and I've seen it pop up in other places. So, do we have three, six, or more months or is it still "soon"?
In a Vector Eventually
As it always truly was. The process ground to a halt a good while ago but it's starting to pick up again. Shouldn't be too long now.
Sometime in January we'll start the official move. February 14th 2006 is the last day of ezgold for us so everything should be all said and done by then. After that date, we'll lockdown the ezboard making it only viewable. We may even move most of the topics over, and keep your post counts!
How can you break our hearts on VALENTINES DAY!?!
That's so... so... clich!
Defy convention, guys, give us some LOVE on V-Day.
Blame ezboard for that. 😛
EzBoard deserves NO LOVE! Not even on Valentine's day!
I agree. We should break up with them the day before, just to spite them.
*Clings to the Mobius Forum* You can't kill her! She's... I... WE'RE IN LOVE! *Cries and runs out of the thread*
Killing is such a bad way of putting it...
It's actually more like putting this place into permanent, eternal cryogenic stasis and then having it on public display for all the world to see. Which is kinda creepy if you personify the Mobius Forum like that. oo; The ethics of it boggles.
The Mobius Forum never dies! Only the software it runs on!
Oh yeah!
</Duffman>
Think of the move as the Mobius Forum getting a perm, a manicure, a dental appointment, and some new clothes. 😛
I wasn't aware of such a move, anyway >>;
It's not too surprising seeing as how you're relatively new, Abi; it was the place we used during the EZHack and it's pretty cool. Yes, please, Lighthead, do move the topics to the Elite; well, at least the really important and most active ones anyway.
No Ultra, you've got it wrong...
It's like we're keeping the clothes, but the peron within them has been upgraded with a more stylish newer look alike, who will INEVITABLY have teething problems but by the end we'll all love more than the old one...
Oh my god, the MoFo is in fact JAMES BOND....
So one day, several incarnations in the future, it will be BLONDE!
so um... where are we going to be moving to? as you know ive been gone for a while and i got no clue where we're gonna be moving to.
(wow a post that actually makes some sense o.o)
I have an open mind about new things replacing the things I love! I promise I'll embrace the Eliteboard when it comes, without complaining.
*Finishes writing huge rants about The Batman, Ultimate Spider-Man, Gundam SEED Destiny, retcon and it's whorage abuse, Howl's Moving Castle the anime and so forth*
...ok! I'll TRY! Hard!
Seriously! Stop looking at me like that.
*Runs off crying*
Craig, you're silly. The board isn't the Mobius Forum, we are.

An exact url is not known at this time. A testing board, which HSW provided in his post, has been in existence for years though. ;p
yea the url will prolly be something like mf.lighthead.net/index
So, are we going to have the same forums-MFC, MFC2, South Island, Knothole, etc.-or are they gonna be fewer or have name changes, etc.?
The forums will probably be exactly the same. MFC2 could be thrown away because of an idea I had that I forgot to add to my eb suggestion topic...Or at least I think I forgot...I'll explain anyway.
With eliteboard, every forummer will be able to choose hybrid or tabled layout for each forum{or at least, I assume so}. MFC2 was created to dump the huge topics into, because once they reached a large amount of posts, they stretched way out along the page in the hybrid layout.
With eb, I was thinking hybrid topics could be given pages. There would be small page numbers beside the topic title like when a topic gets multiple pages on tabled layout. A hybrid topic would display 20 posts on MFC at once, and no more{maybe not if there was a setting for it}. When you click on page 2, posts 21 - 40 or whatever insantly replace 1 - 20, and page 3 would continue the trend, and so on.
Oh, and I think the Megaman forum should be scrapped. Everything in there could be done in the GA, Megaman HQ is still forzen and will be for a good while, and it doesn't get enough activity to be worthy of being a seperate forum.

Although I agree with your idea, I doubt that will happen. That's just my opinion.
Am I the only one here who actually prefers Ezboard? 
I wouldn't mind staying here, but another board is no difference to me. Eliteboard's not bad either. So yah.
You won't prefer ezboard once eliteboard is finished. eliteboard is faster, uses less bandwidth, has handles, has HTML sigs for free, should have the option of tabled / hybrid for every forum, will have zero / much less downtime than ezboard, will have different themes for each board to choose from, no need to request CTs, and other things depending on anything I forgot and what vec likes / dislikes from my suggestion post and other suggestions to come.
...Or, at least, you probably won't prefer ezboard, anwyay.
At the moment I prefare EZ, mainly because for some reason I have to hammer the REFRESH button on IE about five times just to see if there are any new posts in any of the threads on Elite, bot provided that is fixed, I'm not really bothered.

Our migration to EliteBoard is more out of necessity than preference anyway. EzBoard costs far too much to keep around, now that we have the people who pay for it funding the dedicated server as well.

A Sailor Moon theme option would so have me on that board in....well, now. 😮
But that is me being EXTREMELY picky. :p
Wait, wait.
EZboard costs over $99 per month?! Holy rusted metal, Batman, that's robbery! *Storms the gates of EZboard FOR THE HORDE!!!*

Make one yourself or send me a few images / a guideline to make one and you'll have one...

I don't think it costs quite that much...But the server is worth it. Or will be worth it...whatever.
It's not just the board we're concerning ourselves about. No... we're considering the bigger picture here and that's ALL OF SHQ. Also ezboard costs us money to keep going on ever since they dropped the free gold. The new server? May not even cost A DIME with our current plan.
Yeah, forgot about the adsense...still going strong.

Well...if you put it that way, I think I'd prefer eb too o.o
As long as accounts along with Post Counts are carried over, I'm happy! =)

Help me I forgot my password at the EliteBoard and I can't log in!!!!!!! Is there any "I can't rember my password" function on the EliteBoard, will I have to create a new account, or when we move permanently, will my account on EZ go there?!?!? Please help!!!!! Oh, BTW, is there going to be a private message feature there, too?
I've posted a topic for you on the eb EVC, but I doubt Vec will see it unless I shove it in his face the next time he gets into 1337chat. Just make another account for now.
