December 30 UPDATE – The forums will be down for scheduled maintenance beginning at 5:00 AM GMT (12:00 AM EST) 31-Dec as we upgrade the website. You’ll still have full access to the rest of the site, and the new forums will be online and ready for your use later that day. Get ready for our big New Year’s Eve Launch Party!
We have some big changes in store for the new year, including a brand-new look and greatly enhanced forums.
To make this happen, we will be closing the forums to new registrations and posts sometime on December 30th, and reopening a few hours later with some fantastic new features, including private messaging, forum subscriptions, and much, much more.
The catch? There’s only one, but you need to be ready.
After we convert to the new forum, all users will have to request a password reset. Password reset requests are handled entirely by email, so if your email address specified in your member profile is out-of-date, you will not be able to reset your password, and you will not be able to login.
So what does this mean? Not much, really. Just double-check your member profile and make sure your email address is correct.
We’ll be giving you more information on the upcoming changes in the next week.

December 15, 2004 at 5:04 am #108887Someguy03MemberDo not fear BBB members, I have talked to Jeff and will be making 96×96 avatars for the new forums. So far, they make the current avatars look like crap. =)
December 15, 2004 at 5:11 am #108894DaJMan1800MemberWhoo hoo! Sound cool, I can’t wait for the private messaging. Its all like an x-mas present from bbb, I guess u could say.

December 15, 2004 at 3:28 pm #108877Jeff HesterKeymasterEven if the site stayed like this for the next 50yrs I’d still use it but new changes can’t hurt. Sounds great! I can’t wait. hehe. I’m sure it will look really cool.

i’m wondering, since we have to request a password reset, will that clean up all the old members who registered, posted once (or not at all) and havent been seen since?

No, it is just a password reset. By default, NO password is going to work for all the users, it has to do with the password encryption, leave it at that. No members will be deleted.

December 15, 2004 at 10:48 pm #108916camsterMemberWhoohoo! Hope it’s not TOO different, but I’m sure it will be great. Can’t wait! Also noticed that theres already been a little addition for the holidays on the top banner. 🙂
