The Energon Pub

[GrimSqueaker]

Is it still going to be called the Energon Pub, that name is part of Seibertron now

I hope so-believe it or not i need it to be called that!

[Ramrider]

I don't see why that'd change - Energon Pub is the name of the overall Seibertron forum, not just the creative section...

i like how things are progressing so far looking forward to take the new forum for a test round when its finished.

The forums will continue to be called the Energon Pub, even after the Transtopia forum merger. Transtopia will become a new section on Seibertron which will be located at http://www.seibertron.com/transtopia/index.php once I've finished the programming for it. The Transtopia forums will all be collected together which will be easily accessed from the Energon Pub or from the new Transtopia section.

Will there be special feature galleries on the front page of Seibertron.com like Transtopia has now Ryan?

[Auto Bot]

I haven't seen Transtopia yet. Is it shutting down?

Yes.

Yes.

Sweet! Might give me a reason to use the front page instead of sneaking through the back door straight to the forums!

Like i've said before, can't wait to see all this complete.

Haven't seen it? How can this be? We're positively legendary!
This is where Transtopia is currently. And yeah, it's shutting down... sort of. At exactly the same time (or more or less) as it re-opens over here...

Sorry about that. I'm not really quick on searches and surfing.

So this is like a giant corporate merger?

[Ramrider]

Hardly corporate, but it's a pretty big event for us.

Long story short, TFMaster, who owned Transtopia, couldn't afford to renew the site hosting anymore, so Ryan volunteered to host the site on Seibertron's servers. When TFM sadly died earlier this year, it was decided to fully incorporate Transtopia into Seibertron, although it's still going to be very much its own entity as far as I understand it.

TFM sadly died... meaning, he passed away?

Yes.

That is sad. I've never encountered a TF fan death yet.

Actually, TFmaster and I agreed to incorporate Transtopia into Seibertron as part of the original deal, which Bill talks about in the news / articles section on Transtopia.

[Deadpool.]

Cool.
Can't wait for Transtopia to move over.

Change is good. At least, TFM's work and memory won't be thrown into oblivion.

[Switchpoint]

Awesome work Ryan. Bill would be so proud. Us Seibertronians are sure are proud of your hard work, and the Trantopia crowd is proud too I'm sure. Seibertron.com RULZ!!!!

This is a great thing. I'm so excited!

Are you going to create a redirect link?

Like for example, someone who doesn't know about the merger, went to the original Transtopia address, that he be automatically redirected to Seibertron.

Yes, there will be an automatic redirection. I should be able to figure out how to make the topics and posts on Transtopia redirect to that exact post here on Seibertron.

Blimey, that's a good point. I hope you can - it'll make for a lot less broken links. I know there are quite a few threads in the creative forum that contain links to working threads on Transtopia...

[Auto Bot]

I have a suggestion.

The title could be more informative if you use a specific date rather than "within next week".

I'm sure this thread will last for sometime longer than we've expected. In a week or two, the title could be indicating a confusing time frame.

[Ramrider]

He can't really give a specific date... it depends a lot on what spare time he can devote to it ('cause this is a spare time project), and how much actually goes to plan (like the porting to phpBB3 didn't).
