    Hey everyone,

    I'm sorry for the very short and abrupt notice regarding this cut-over.

    I mentioned to Orestes that I have some work travel coming up and will be out of the state and country for weeks at a time every month or so. I won't be able to finish the Joomla, phpbb3 setup / bridge I had envisioned. It was a daunting project and I simply won't have the time.

    After listening to the feed back, the complaints, the PMs and more, I've decided, with Ores's blessing that we'll stick to Xenforo for now. I'm not super thrilled about the long term issues with it, as you well know I've been pretty open about my concerns with the lawsuit and all that crap.

    That being said, these forums are quite sexy and I did miss them very much. I'm sure the rest of you did as well.

    I'm sorry for the back and forth. I'm swallowing my pride here.

    NNG was started on these very forums, (yes, using Xenforo) so it only seemed right to allow us to come back to them in my inability to finish what I started. These forums accelerate our recruitment process, our ability to communicate effectively with each other, collaborate, plan, and pretty much be the best we can be. After I realized what a hindrance I caused by uprooting us and throwing us over to phpbb3 I felt pretty bad.

    I spent a lot of time on that transition, but it just wasn't working out.

    For those of you who applied for positions, I will work with you to create those roles but in a more Xenforo oriented way.

    So here we are. Back on Xenforo.

    NNG, carry on...

    If there are any issues with this switch back, something that got left on the phpbb3 forums, please let me know here. I will do the best I can do to fix it. Posts created on those forums will remain there but they can't be carried over here to Xenforo. Lastly, any accounts created on the phpbb3 boards will have to be created here.

    My sincere apologies. /wronged

    All good! Were the phpbb3 era posts migrated? Will they be migrated? Just wondering. :)
