Hello fellow Seibertronians!

By now, most have noticed that the forums have temporarily disappeared. Ryan is currently in the process of upgrading the forums to the new phpbb. So not only will the forums look a little bit different, we will finally have Transtopia moved into Seibertron.com as well!

So have a little patience while we continue to try to get all the bugs out and attempt to make Seibertron.com even better!

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

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.

so is this "the voice of distruction"?

Posted: **Mon Dec 10, 2007 9:44 pm**

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

Posted: **Mon Dec 10, 2007 9:47 pm**

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

Posted: **Mon Dec 10, 2007 9:49 pm**

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

Posted: **Mon Dec 10, 2007 9:57 pm**

PHPBB3?

Posted: **Mon Dec 10, 2007 9:57 pm**

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.

Posted: **Mon Dec 10, 2007 10:04 pm**

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

Posted: **Mon Dec 10, 2007 10:07 pm**

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!

Posted: **Mon Dec 10, 2007 10:08 pm**

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

Posted: **Mon Dec 10, 2007 10:08 pm**

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.

Posted: **Mon Dec 10, 2007 10:13 pm**

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

Hope this goes well.

Posted: **Mon Dec 10, 2007 10:16 pm**

143,435 posts have been imported so far!

Posted: **Mon Dec 10, 2007 10:33 pm**

239,602 ...

Posted: **Mon Dec 10, 2007 10:36 pm**

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