grats. We're going with MyBB because of how customizable it is. The system they have for doing it is insane. The options are limitless. I expected riots lol so I didn't just go ahead and say it. Some people are going to be mad but that's expected. The nicest thing on the forums is the 2FA. I know I sound like Wilee, but sneakily putting through a big change because you don't want to face the objections of the previous times this was suggested is not very ethical. I was saving the forums another drama thread because people get tired of it, criticism noted.

Except it is. We're planning to expand tremendously, we're getting 2 massive youtubers to make videos on the server and a forums suffixed by a free forums hosting software won't be appealing at all. The lack of customization proboards provide is heavily mitigated with this new forums switch.

The lack of customization proboards provide is heavily mitigated with this new forums switch. 99% of players never touch the forums. The purpose of the forums is entirely met by proboards. The argument "it's free" isn't a good argument against using it. Who is maintaining security for the new forums? Who is paying for the server hosting it. Is it hosted on the same server as the actual TF server? What DDoS protection are we using for the server. Has anyone involved in this even ran a mybb forums before? If the entire point of this move is "more customization" and "it'll be more appealing", then this is an absolutely idiotic move.

just the mere fact that only a select few was notified of this change, not even the admin team, is just so hilarious.
everything we needed are being met by what proboards provides, and whatever reasoning you have is not enough of a reason for us to switch

Everyone was just notified of the change by this puzzle. You got to notify everyone of it.

I like how there wasn't even a community vote about this and a limited amount of communication in regards to a forum change. What happened with transparency in regards to a change as major as this?

I fixed that, and I'm going to fix the avatar issues. Registration was open when you registered because I was testing the mail server. It's closed now. I like how there wasn't even a community vote about this and a limited amount of communication in regards to a forum change. What happened with transparency in regards to a change as major as this? Because this is something I decided I'm doing regardless of community vote. Community vote, transparency in decision making, addressing the numerous concerns brought up in previous threads about switching forum software Because the previous concerns in the thread don't bother me. Sometimes as a community leader you have to go against public interest. I can't please everyone, but lots of people want this. I'm not doing back and forth arguing on this. So this is all I'm going to say for now. This is something I am going to do, and not everyone is going to like it. You cannot please everyone.

It's not the entirety, its like a portion wants it, and a portion doesnt want it. And at this point I feel as if it's up to me to act on this or not. And I want to act on this, because with our own hosted forum, there's more freedom to do things then on proboards.
