Entirely new platform made by the same people who made the old one, then?

Ok, color me curious. What are the characteristics of that software?

Well you can make these thing that you can comment in called posts, and they can be organized into threads and those can be organized into things called sub-forums.:p
Anymore questions? :D

Will the new forum have the same "style and looks" as the old one? Also, where do I go to merge my account?

Log out of the forums, then log back in with the black Paradox login button, on the pop up will be an option to register, during the registration it will prompt you with your forum name if it has the same associated e-mail address. otherwise you need to tell it what your forum name is, make sure it is your correct name otherwise you will lose access to your account.

Guys I will have a suggestion thread for new features once the forum is up and running for a while, it is definitely our intention to be adding new features.
In the meantime let's get the basics up and running smooth first.

The rules and terms of service for the new forums will be identical to the existing ones.

Will the new forum be more petty communist friendly?
We are working on making it more friendly for everyone, you can keep your communist sympathies but no petty posts please. ;)

And my apologies for being absent in this thread. Been busy times with Cities being launched. Castellon has been holding the fort well however. Thank you! :)

And to clarify some stuff that appeared:
- For now the style of the new forum seems to be limited to one that very much resembles "Deep Blue Edited" here. I haven't had time to make any others yet. More will come however! Function is priority right now!
- And let's point out again since a few people seems to have missed that part of the info: the intention is to move all the content from these forums to the new one. As Castellon said, just closing this and opening a new would have been pretty easy.
- I will make it VERY clear when we start the period of not saving content anymore. What you post now will still be moved to the new forums.
- The old forums will be kept in read only state so that if stuff would disappear in the migration, we can manually copy it over if need be.
- To merge your account now, just log out and use the black "Paradox Account Login" button at the top of the forums. MAKE SURE YOU REALLY MERGE WITH YOUR PROPER FORUM ACCOUNT! Don't go create a new forum nick for yourselves and confuse things :) (I know the process is not that good and not very intuitive. With the new forums it will be easier)

And as I mentioned above. Due to the rapid increase in traffic, we decided to postpone the new forums a week. We don't want to confuse our new Cities crowd too much just yet.

...Also, a lot of the questions about the new forums features are really questions about rules rather than capabilities of the forum software. Rules will stay the same for the time being.

So it has been decided that there will be some days where posts wont be saved neither in the new nor the old forum? I.e. there is no way to keep what you post those days? If so then I propose simply shutting down posting abilities for those days since there will always be some who don't get the memo; and even if you do you can easily find yourself in a situation where you have to answer because the discussion is running now, but you know it won't be saved which is bad.


Well considering that tweet from Frederik Wester about Putin having been given a key in advance I guess some polite men showed up in Paradox Tower and told the staff that if they didn't postpone the move the polite men would come back with some delicious Po-210.

We decided to keep the forums open as more of a chat room as we know there are a number of people who have an active social life on here to whom ~48 hours without would be considered very boring. We also wouldn't want people to shake their addictions now would we?

I will, like I said, make it abundantly clear what's going on. Changing of forum logo's and skins come to mind. No1 should be able to miss it I hope.

Also, what is posted here in these forums during this period will still remain on these forums. So if you posted something here that you really really want to stay in the new forums you can go here and copy it and paste it on the new place. So it will be saved in a sense. But only in these backwater forums which we will remove at some point when we feel confident with the new ones.

Forever? I assumed after the changeover period the old forum with be demolished to make room for a new hyperspace bypass.
Nope we intend to have it on another URL in read only mode, cannot guarantee forever. :) but for a good while at least.

1. How to merge?
2. Will the other skins be available such as vb4 blue2?
Log out of the forums, then log back in with the black Paradox login button, on the pop up will be an option to register, during the registration it will prompt you with your forum name if it has the same associated e-mail address. otherwise you need to tell it what your forum name is, make sure it is your correct name otherwise you will lose access to your account.

Only one skin at launch similar to the main blue one used on this forum. (More will be added)

The dark ages where your posts will not be automatically saved for eternity, a time of chaos and lawlessness (or not really, it just sounded cool) will not begin until next week.

Nothing has changed just yet. Everything you post is saved perfectly fine. When stuff change I will make a great effort into making it apparent for everyone.
