Hello everyone, as an update I am now moved in and somewhat settled into my apartment. School starts next week and things should be quite good for me. The two members I have chosen as staff members are Akira and Mystery, congrats to our new staff! Now, as some of you probably have started to hear, Proboards has decided to change their systems to v5. After working at great lengths trying to adjust things on a beta tester and get used to the system, I've decided *as many other sites have*, that it is much better to not use v5 Proboards; Akira and Mystery both have been told of this and agree with me.
So, what does this mean? I have reworked an Invisionfree site to be our new playground. The timeline is the same, the site will start right after the hatching, nothing will have changed. This site will remain open as will all previous sites. I am still working on moving things over, and characters can be moved over *or not if you wish to make new ones*. It is a different character template somewhat, but mainly they can just be copy/pasted and accepted as they come.
I am very sorry for this inconvenience, but I am also very happy and looking forward to all the opportunities that Invisionfree can bring us. Also, just for anyone who wonders why we couldn't just suffer through the new version of Proboards; the new system makes it more difficult to work as a staff member, especially for ones who enjoy coding instead of using their plugins. Additionally, even if we were to stay with Proboards, the site would have changed and all of this would have had to be reworked anyway, the new system doesn't support the same posting codes either. So, in the end the same amount of work would have had to be done either way, and Invisionfree doesn't seem to be changing their systems any time soon.
Thank you all so much, and it is entirely understandable if you do not wish to make the move with us. That is why I hosted the hatching before this move. As for Seven's part in the hatching with Moth's egg, I will get in touch with her to see if she is able to hatch it, if not I will myself in the next day or two.
