Mr McGregor, I do want to personally say that I hold no ill will towards you at all in this.
You're a victim as much as the rest of us.
Thank you for being reasonable here, and I hope you and a_skeleton_03 can work something out that ultimately reduces your losses and allows us to preserve the integrity of our community as best we can.

Everyone is definitely in agreement with you.
For sure, and Daly is 100% right as well.
That's what I meant when I said
No way people are coming back to the old forum software, no matter how this works out.

Absolutely. I love the new forum look/feel/functionality.
I think the major problems people have with the move is we lose 4 years of history...after having lost ~10-11 years of history.
Like Flipmode, I just want to domain to stay the same (and bonus, selfish, points if I can get it to be unblocked at work).

It depended on the change. People here really like the aesthetic, we've had it for more than a decade, but we can achieve that with new software (Changing the software as long as we keep the aesthetic wouldn't make anyone angry). Tuco/Drae probably mentioned it because a software change (Since Drae has not updated it in years despite requests) would have tipped off the ownership change, and yeah, people wouldn't have liked that (Which I'm sure you can see the results for yourself). It's just that we know this community wouldn't fit in within a mainstream setting, it's not 4chan bad, but the moderation is a lot more loose and the discourse a lot more open than most mainstream gaming sites.
Most of us feel it's only a matter of time before one of our controversial discussions winds up in a tweet asking why MMORPG.Com supports X or Y ridiculous things (Taking some debate point in the discussion out of context)...and then you'd guys would be forced to rush in with some ban hammers and new rules. We wouldn't blame you, you've got a business to run, but we've always kept ownership as "one of our own" for that reason (Even if you have no intention, just the fact that you could be threatened into it due to this being a business venture for you is enough). That kind of change isn't palatable , the community only exists because of those frank, and sometimes brusque discussions, among a stable community (Of known names)--otherwise we'd have all gone off to Reddit, or MMORPG ect a long time ago. Those discussions exist precisely because we don't have to bow to demands due to financial considerations.

Priority obviously is the main version, but they are working on tweaking the mobile version on the new boards. Mobile is also a bit more finicky, so this may take a little while. But yes, once it's all said and done, the newer software should accommodate that kind of things are lot better.
Anyway, if anyone is unclear. The migration is a done thing. It's not a maybe. The question is whether a_skeleton_03 manage to buy the database/domain and we merge them with the new forum. If we doesn't or can't, we still moved on.
Either way, if you want to stick with the community, create an account on the new forum.
Once people stop from posting at both places, this forum is going to turn into a ghost town pretty fast.

I'm tossing my chips in with a_skeleton_03 and Rere, even if I hate Tyen. The "wait and see" approach seems retarded...though I don't like losing the one thread I regularly post in.
I don't get the hate on Tuco, though. I'm a moderator on another website with a much more tame and respectful crowd, and it's a fucking thankless job. I think he's done a good job here, and I don't envy him.
