New forums... again!

Post by James » Fri Feb 15, 2013 6:24 pm

Hey everyone,

Sorry, for those that have been here a while, you'll notice this is now our third forum. First we started with bbPress, which just never worked right and Wordpress integration was wacky. So then I replaced it with Tal.ki forums last month, which seemed really nice at first. However they hosted the forum, and their servers were CONSTANTLY going down. To make matters worse, I went to their Support section and found it to be a wasteland. Almost all the posts had spam attached to them and not a single answer from them. Sooo, that was a huge mistake.

I decided to just play it safe, and went with probably the most popular forum out there (phpBB), and have it installed on our server. It's a little generic right now style-wise, but I will try and put some time into customizing the style soon.

If you have any problems registering with the new forum, please email me at support@discordgames.com!

A forum that works is better than on that doesn't :)

Hopefully people will reregister again and the theme will be good :D

Agreed! This will have to suffice for now, but I at least got the logo at the top :D

I had to resend the verification email to get it but other than that everything went swimmingly.
