Sorry dudes, but the license for the forums expires tomorrow and vBulletin doesn't seem to want me to renew the license.

Their purchasing system is somehow only allowing people to upgrade, and I'm not spending $200 to upgrade the forums that no one uses.

It's been fun, but it has to end. I've got other projects anyways.

So long I have spent with some of you.

We've moved on, but I hope we don't lose touch... Those of you with my gmail and my phone number, use it!

What? No! What happened to D&D? It's been like 5 years...

False alarm. Since I own the software, the license expiring only means that I won't have access to updated versions, but that's not really a big deal.

The forums live.

Hey there

Some of you guys should come over to my new site when it's ready. It's gonna be much better than SP, and if you don't think so, I don't want you there.

What new site?

If I had to describe it, I'd say it closest resembles something like Gizmodo/Lifehacker, except the scope isn't as limited.

The content gets put into three main categories: editorials, reviews, and how to's. Editorials can be about pretty much anything from Facebook to atheism to some kind of scientific theory. Reviews would be about pretty much anything like books, films, video games, et cetera. And definitely not just new, but old (almost preferred). Kind of similar to the SP where were we when... reviews. And no rankings, just text. How to's are useful guides to doing anything and everything. How to build a computer from scratch, the best way to save money, and so forth.

Still lots of development left in terms of how content should work and such. I'm also going to be looking for people to write and contribute where they have expertise. Right now I'm just finishing up the actual site. I have a lot of the design done and I'm just finishing up the commenting system. Now I just need to install Vanilla 2 and bridge it to WordPress so there's a single sign-on for both. No more pricey, bloated forum software!

Well make sure you post the link and we can all migrate. 8)

Oh, I certainly will.

What's it called?

Yeah, I was wondering that myself... we need a cool acronym for our next meet up so keep that in mind when coming up with a name for the new site.

It'd be lou-de-cy. But if people are willing to travel then yeah, I'd totally host something since I'll have my own place in Toronto.
