Possible forum move

I don't see what the point is. We have everything we need here, all a move would do is inconvience members. Knowing how often the server goes down, I would hate for the forum to go down everytime as well. Let's just stay where we are. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
agreed.

As long as the new forums are hosted somewhere besides the same place the server is, I say go for it. Re-registering isn't a big deal, and if people are too lazy, then that's their problem. >_>

I vote no because we have all the we need in the current forum. Personally I see no point in moving for advanced board features. However, just by looking at what's been said so far it seems like a forum move is inevitable.
From a members point of view, yes everything you guys need is here. But for admins and staff, not so much. With the new features, I can actually run a lot more forum events and give out actual prizes easier, and I no longer have to waste time with manually confirming and setting up donations, and bunch of other stuff. IPB makes moderation much easier, also gives me a lot more security features for the forums.
Moving to a new forum might actually attract more forum users due to the above reason(s). (Specifically the contests + prizes and whatnot.) :P ^

They should be moved just bcos it`s already easier for the staff, since they are the reason why we even get to play Exia.

Certain member lazyness shouldn`t matter. If they like this enough, they`ll move.

Oh oh oh I'm for it :D
If it makes it easier for you admins/GM's then I'm absolutely for it.
That way you can have some fun too instead of running the server and checking the forums everytime :D
And that test link that you gave us looks really nice :D

EDIT: Didn't read Alises' response she, kind of made the same point as I did. Note to self: learn to read everything to the latest post before you make new posts

Pretty much this. If the game crashes which leads to the forum crashing as well than that would kinda suck. People who can restart the server are doing fair enough but can't expect them to be on around the clock.

I vote yes, because the more customization, the better. Post count doesn't matter, it just shows to newcomers that they can partially be trusted.
