New discussion fora

News

Hello out there!

With the issues that have come up about moderation and related angst about the Exult fora, I took the time tonight to wrangle with the discussion fora for the Feudal Lands.  The bbPress installation was old and needed updated, and I’ve got it going now.

I’m pretty laid back about the fora, as far as that moderation issue goes.  So long as its not spam and you post it in the most appropriate place out of the fora I’ve made, I’m not terribly concerned, just keep the discussion cordial and respectful.

I pretty much was left with the option of gutting the old forums, or taking a lot of time to update the new database to be up to the new code.  Since the gutting option lets me fully integrate the fora into the main site, I took that route.  The advantage with this is that you can have a single unified login for both the blog and the fora.  The disadvantage is I lost the old posts from the old discussion boards.

Feel free to make use of the boards!
