The new forum is almost ready!
I know people are finally getting comfortable with the current forum but I think you'll like the bells & whistles of the new one.
There will be no easy way to transfer everyone's usernames over to the new forum, so unfortunately everyone will need to sign up again. Sorry, this can't be helped. Also, the threads for the new forum still aren't transferred over yet but they will be imported in the future.
I'm not going to say what new features the new forum will have because I don't want to wreck the surprise, but I do want to throw out a thanks to Regardo and Junkdna for testing out the new forums' features!
I'll post the new address to the forum when it goes live!

I'll post the new address to the forum when it goes live! You probably already thought about this but I still am going to ask here....... Will it be necessary to use a new handle when signing up again? That goes along with needing a separate handle and a separate email address as well to handle the activation code too ? I ask this because from experience on another forum when the information was transfered over addresses went over as well and when trying to resign up to the "new" forum it wouldn't accept the old addresses because they were already in the data base.

different board, so you should have no problems.

Like Junkdna said, you shouldn't have any problems. You won't have to use a new handle when signing up because the database hasn't been transferred yet. It's a virgin forum, with the exceptions that we've tweaked to make it Englipedia-specific. Thanks for the heads up, though. And, keep any possible foreseeable problems coming!

it is in fact, no joke. i tried it from the website directly as well to see if i was just getting blocked from that link, but as it turns out, that was not the case.

what's a sonic wall? is that the firewall your school uses? what about a proxy? If it is blocked, the new forum just needs to be added to the safe list. I would pass along the englipedia website to your teachers and tell them the site also comes with a teachers forum that you can't access and see what they say.
We'll figure this out...

I did some research on SonicWALL, they are a firewall based out of California.
Pretty much everybody is over on the new forum but I still check this one. Keep me informed about what your situation cuz' I really wanna get you over onto the new forum. You're like a lost solider who's been abandoned. We'll get you over onto the new one somehow.
