I have read the vague post that started this thread, but am left wondering...
Are there any issues expected from merging the forums?
Before, each forum had its own database, so we are unable to keep all four and merge them together. We can only build off of one database as the main data, so some players will see their user info has been recent or the post history is gone.
Is this to say that you've completely dumped the original Storm 8 Forums ? As I see it now, there are very few posts in the Storm 8 section of these new forums, only a few stickies seem to have migrated over.
Also, some threads and post are unable to be merged over due to conflicting data, so we had to manually move over as many important posts and threads as we could. Please let us know if there was information from the previous forums that did not make it over and we will take a look if we can find it.
Ummmm, yes, as it appears now you have completely abandoned EVERYTHING that was contained in the Storm 8 database save a few stickies.
Hopefully we'll see some improvement, everybody knows (at least the few players left) that the Storm 8 games have really rolled downhill as of late. let's hope that they don't let us fall of the Forum cliff. Here's hoping.
