Forum changes coming....

[Don Seer]

On May Bank Holiday monday (next week) I'm hoping to make some pretty big changes to the forum.

This will mean some downtime.

I will be doing the following...(and some more) get your voice heard now.

1) Board will be (backed up then) upgraded from YaBB 1 Gold SP1 to YaBB 1 Gold SP 1.1

2) Technique and Unsigned Hype will be merged.

3) Some other forums will be renamed or moved, but essentially remain the same.

5) Fantasy label and Key Style battle league will be removed. Since i'm not a key styler i don't know whats going on with the other key style forums. If a change is required explain why here.

6) A 'sports' forum will be added to the Social section. (oops.. theres another teaser   )

7) ANYONE who msgs/emails me or comes on IRC asking why the board is down during this process will gain an instant and permanent ban for idiocy *do not piss me off when i'm working*

If you have any suggestions NOW is your chance.

p.s. NO moderators will be chosen for the new sections.
Anyone who tries to petition me for a mod position will NEVER be a mod.
Mod's will be chosen at a later date of my choosing (and as people know.. thats pretty random). ohh and there *may* be something pretty controversial happening

2) Technique and Unsigned Hype will be merged.

finnaly.. i was telling that all the time

You know my suggestion  

'General Hip-Hop' Forum;
Or you could like murge the 'Anything Goes' section to include 'General' hip-hop topics also. You wouldn't have to rename it or anything, just display 'general hip-hop' topics in the description underneath. That way no east/south related topics would appear in here & you won't have to constantly delete & close ones that do

I definitely support that.. how about a General Hip-Hop Discussion board... in that way you could keep the main forum 100 % westcoast.. Overseer I basically agree with everything else, peace

I've got a little plan here that i'm doodling on.

'General HipHop' WAS down with a question mark next to it (along with a few other things).

I will concede and put one up.

The main reason why I think a 'general hip-hop' is a good idea is because even though this is first & foremost a westcoast site, which I respect, it still packs alot of the big news stories etc from all the other coasts which is an advantage I think, because not only does that mean we don't have to fish around but this site isn't as biased to one coast as say SOHH is & thats one of the main reasons I love this place, we're all open minded to hip-hop as a whole here.

umm...

how long will the board be down?  

[Don Seer]

i meant the non-westcoast bit.

I suspect the changes will take about 4/5 hours.

Quite a bit of that will be due to the backing up. since it takes a while to download it all.
