Seibertron.com is getting upgraded!

Gotta love how much the staff keeps on top of things around here. Hope the transition goes smoothly.

you guys scared the s*** out of me..... i though my computer was getting a virus or something

I thought my bots program was messing with me again

Again!?!, see this is why I love this place!

I thought my computer had zonked out too. Nice to know things are progressing well!

This was more shocking than the time I met Jesus.

*Insert Family Guy-style cutaway here.*

so is this "the voice of distruction"?

I thought the "Voice of Destruction" thing was on the 14th...

Either way, can't wait to see the new PHPBB forums! Bring it on!

yay i like updates

This isn't the voice of destruction. This is kind of a surprise for us as well!

Nope ... this has nothing to do with the voice of destruction. This is me starting a new job on Wednesday and having a few extra minutes today at my old job to tinker around with phpbb3 uninterrupted. I figured out a few things that I was having trouble understanding about the new phpbb3 and on a spur of the moment tonight I decided that I'd start the upgrade process. I've already imported all of the users and forum posts from Transtopia's message board. phpBB's import script is currently importing all of the attachments. It's running slowly because this is on the live server but I hope that you guys will have something to use in the next few hours. Keep your optics crossed XD

Now it's importing all of the topics

PHPBB3?

And now we're on with the forum posts, which will take a while. I'm going to go watch some TV and I'll check back in a little while to see how everything's progressing.

thce bomb will detonate unless i can get.....to.....the..........fourms

Damn guys another upgrade? Well thats why this is the best TF site around. It just keeps getting better and better.

Just thought of a question, will the forums be put back the way they were or will we have to remake the topics?

FYI ... as far as Transtopia goes, only their forums will be imported. The rest of Transtopia will still exist at tfmaster.com until I have time to import the rest of their content here to Seibertron.com. I'm sure Bill's up there in ol' Kitbash heaven cursing away at me for taking so damn long to get all of this accomplished. I blame the phpBB folks for taking so long to release the final version of phpBB3!

Are we gonna get messed up again like the Great Forum Crash & lose all our posts? Although I admit it is sorta cool to be registered on an internet site in 1967 long before internet existed....hehe

Megatron_Wolf: all of the content and user accounts will be imported from the old phpBB2 system to the new phpBB3 forums here on Seibertron.com.

Well count me as surprised, this came right out of the blue Ryan!

Hope this goes well.

143,435 posts have been imported so far!

239,602 ...

Woohoo! Do we have a set time in mind for when the forums will be back up?

Holy cats! I log in like normal and POOF..stuff's weird...ah well...upgrades are a natural thing with e-life....

Hope to see this new upgrade up and ready soon.

The way I see it,it can only get better!! Can't wait to see the end product:)

Cool!

Did they save the RPG?

How easy is it to transfer the forum from PHPBB2 to PHPBB3?

thats good news. I Think The Voice Of Destruction Has something to Do With Unicron

yep every guy now and then needs some TV so what are you watching transformers by any chance

transtopia has ryan or alex kingdom ever made a custom?

nice

Ryan's never made a custom, but Alex_Kingdom has done a couple of Alternator customs, his best known one would be Nightbeat.

Awwww!
I've got three minuets to check the forums before I go to college, how cruel can you guys be!?!

Not going to happen tonight. Too many things for me to do on a work night. I'll take a shot at it later this week.

AWESOME!!
I cant wait for transtopia to make it over here! This is such a great time to be a TF customizer and hopefully more than one person will get credit for being one now with such new raw talent making its way here!

I don't know exactly what this computer code stuff does, but will the kink be ironed out so that all the text stops being centered? That's what I'm getting right now.

I fear change!

Dude sorry to say it, but you just sound bitter here. Chillax a little bit, we all know there are others, some are just more prominent and get more attention.

Upgrade? really feels and looks like a downgrade... I hope this is just stage one of this process

love the new look

Amen.

It's getting there. People need to remember that Rome wasn't built in a day.

So why was the site just down for the past day or so? I dont see any changes....

Probably to correct glitches that we wouldnt notice but Ryan knew of. Things that work ok now but could pose a problem in the future.
