Ayonae.Ro migrating post UPDATED PG3 w/ forum layout info

[Kivorn]

A couple of weeks back I shot another hail mary saying "well if you hate ezboards so much, why don't you host us" at a poster I couldn't even remember seeing here. It's not the first time I've done so, since I've desperately wanted off the ezboard networks pretty much since day one. But hosting was never available anywhere else, nor could we in a constructive manner be able to pay for it. I sure wouldn't want to be the one with a paypal account that people poured money into giving me the responsibility to make everything work.

But fortunately, all those problems seem to be solved. That hail mary hit home, and we were pretty much offered conditionless hosting by Myriad of Prism. After a breif email chat with him it seems he's been lurking these boards for quite a while, and is even involved in Ayonae Ro community projects.

So we're migrating. That's right. The hosting's there, and we have a vBulletin license waiting for us.

We're currently in the process of setting the board up, designing it, and migrating the posts over. You'll have to re-register naturally, and your postcount *will* be lost. Hopefully the added features and the increased board performance will heavilly outweigh any such inconveniences

Also, Sanchek is working on hot new Ayonae.Ro content. That Guild Database was just the beginning. We're not really ready to unveil anything yet but it'll be full of server information database goodness, all with the intent of bringing you the best info about the server you're inhabiting.

Awesome Kiv, count on me to contribute some $

[Kivorn]

Don't worry L2. Cash won't be needed, Myriad is doing it out of the goodness of his heart

So Im curious - Since we are leaving EZboard behind, does that mean there wont ever be these bi-yearly "pledge drives" any longer? Sorry I dont know how this will work and Im just curious about the differences.

That about sums it up, Slant.
The hosting is free, we won't have to suffer through any kind of advertisement... and we'll be on vBulletin, without any ties to the EZBoard network.

So no, no donation drives.

If people are just dying to give money, you can always donate to my vodka fund...

Woot! Awesome news, mods! Oh, and will we still be www.ayonae.ro ?
