JessicaSarahS 37 Posted January 3 The message board is about to undergo an upgrade! We are migrating from vBulletin to InVision. During this transition, access to the board will be impacted for a short while. We will attempt to migrate most current posts to the new board. You will reach a maintenance page when this process is underway. We apologize for the inconvenience. The message board will also have a new URL. There will be a redirect to the new board location when that happens and an announcement on the main site when the update is complete. This is all set to happen before March. Thank you for your patience. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kueller 64 Posted January 3 Just please do not break the simplicity of this forum for some bloated modern script laden monstrosity. Not just personal preference here but I remember when Muselive did a massive forum upgrade and what was left of the site died hard within a year. But it's hard to fuck up that bad I think.

That Little Animal 51 Posted January 4 I'm slightly frightened, I suppose I've reached that age where I dislike change. Glad the board continues to be supported though! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nigel_Tufnel 10 Posted January 4 But it's hard to fuck up that bad I think. Anyone who ever does software updates: "Hold my beer." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Claudia O 53 Posted January 5 Good luck with that, but i wonder if the old posts will be lost forever. How far will you go back, 1 year or 2? Altough I only joined some years ago, I enjoyed reading through the old posts, its craziness sometimes, it would be a big loss, even more for the ones who have been here in those times. Only my thougts, maybe everyone else gives a shit about this Yes, I dislike changes as well ..... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
matthijs 10,014 Posted January 5 We're at the point where we can't keep it running on this software version (you must've noticed the lack of https by now...) - I think a lot of the old posts will be available, but some sections are likely to be merged or disappear.

MAurelia 17 Posted January 5 Good luck with the changes! I’m sure this board will be better and full of positive comments about the band:p;) Yes... Am I the only one who likes changes? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ncla 14 Posted January 5 We're at the point where we can't keep it running on this software version (you must've noticed the lack of https by now...) - I think a lot of the old posts will be available, but some sections are likely to be merged or disappear. You don't need to upgrade software to have HTTPS. Speaking of HTTPS, maybe you guys can pass a message to the staff and tell them to have their certificates sorted on muse.mu. https://i.imgur.com/kds8UF6.png Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kueller 64 Posted January 6 Good luck with that, but i wonder if the old posts will be lost forever. How far will you go back, 1 year or 2? Altough I only joined some years ago, I enjoyed reading through the old posts, its craziness sometimes, it would be a big loss, even more for the ones who have been here in those times. Only my thougts, maybe everyone else gives a shit about this Yes, I dislike changes as well ..... Old threads get purged after a while anyways. So long, old friend :'( What was this one called, Doris? Or was that an old one that pooped out? Doris is the backend server I believe as it has had predecessors while the site has clearly not updated besides the graphics. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tesseract 14 Posted January 6 Gonna miss it, but I'm just hoping the new one is just as good and not the disaster that Muselive turned into. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Luigi. 10 Posted January 7 Have no idea what to expect from Invision but hopefully it works nicely. Superherohype forums recently changed from vBulletin to Xenforo and it's been working great so far. There were a couple of hiccups at the beginning which unfortunately caused some members to leave the site. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Claudia O 53 Posted January 7 Then bring it back, why not? This internet-generation needs some nostalgia I loved chatrooms in the beginning of the internet, funny times - and I miss them :'( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
matthijs 10,014 Posted January 7 Reddit uses Discords; joining those would be an option, or maybe somebody here would want to open one. Wouldn't be modded by us though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
