Hi everyone,
We're looking into moving the forum software to XenForo and also doing a massive purge before we make the migration. Also, this means that we'll have single accounts for both the site and forum, and it opens the door for many more integration features moving forward.
As step 1, we're giving everyone some notice about your forum accounts. To help link the accounts and not start over from scratch, we will have to have some pretty strict guidelines in place so we know HOW to link the accounts. So, please read the following carefully:
Sometime soon, we will do the following (and will re-run these scripts right before migration as well)
1. We will delete all FORUM accounts that haven't logged in in the past year. To avoid this happening to you, just log into your forum account once
2. We will delete all FORUM accounts that don't match the exact username/email address of a site account. This is because over time, forum names have been taken that are already taken on the site, or vice versa. You MUST change your site/forum accounts to match (username, and email address). Otherwise, once we run the script, all forum accounts that dont match will be removed.
Email changes must be done yourself - ensure that they match on both the site and forum. If your forum or site name doesn't match the other one, request a change here. Username requests made after this point (for awhile, so we can get through the merger) that don't have anything to do with making them match will not be done, so please only reply if you are trying to save your forum account.
