| After some discussing, Karasz and I have decided to switch hosts. We will be going from Forum motion to Jcink. This forum will remain here, for reference. And when the switch is made, stuff like Character registration won't be a problem, because you may only re-register the characters you currently have (I recommend Copy and Pasting). There are several Upsides and Downsides to the switch. Upsides:- There will be a shop, much like on Boomansion, where when you post you get money to spend in the shop.
- Quizzes, which have certain prizes, money, or both.
- "Rep Points". You can add points to a person's reputation or subtract them depending on posts they make. Adding points and Subtracting points for no reason will be deleted by a staff member.
- Arcade. You can play certain games, and if you get a high score, it will be displayed under your user name.
- An actual warn system. Now that we have Jcink as our host, we can actually warn people instead of just editing it into their Staff Comment's box.
- We will be able to keep most of the current skin.
- The search button actually works.
- A more accurate "who is online" list.
- If for some reason the page is reset, everything you wrote will be saved instead of the usual having to retype everything.
- The page will be less stretched out and long.
Downsides:- We will lose the chatbox. However, we will get something called a Shoutbox, a very simplified version of the chatbox.
- It will be harder to know about new posts, because in order to view new posts you have to open a subcategory.
I'll list more Upsides/Downsides as I find them. The new site is currently under construction and is www.colossalcrpg.b1.jcink.com Any objections? Be quiet Godot | |

| There's also the fact that this puts a big knife through any plots going on right now. | |

| We can continue the plots over from where they are now. | |

| Judging from some of Karasz's posts, that doesn't seem to be happening. | |

| TUZL's done the same, but he says they'll put their characters in the right topics when the plots continue. | |
