Okay, Brad, say something intelligent.
"Gleep?"
First, moderators should register for membership so I can get you installed. I will then Private message you with the password for the moderator lounge.
I changed the name a little to reflect the move. "Unified Scifi Forums" *shrugs* Well I had to come up with a name quick.
I created the core message boards from memory. I have kept it to a minimum so we can get started. Nothing is written in stone. I consolidated some boards until traffic dictates expansion.
Things like the interactive story boards are going to get their own seperate subsite on Shadowdark. The script I have in mind will also allow an author to lock his/her story so that only they can post to it. Of course they can also leave it open for others to add to them too. (I know Ari, you had a non-interactive story board too, that is no problem to make a new one or use the other script for that -- either way or both is fine by me. Let me know and I will create the board.)
The tweaking will be going on for some time. din is trying to make a working "Classic PD forums skin" and we will be working on some formating changes too. Feel free to tell me about typos or make suggestions. If there is something you want to see we will try to do it. Let me know.
Just to be clear: We can't convert the old posts but they are safe in readable format so we will be able to salvage an archive of the more important threads.

As you can see we got the PD classic skin put together.
We will get some new logos made up that will go with both dark and light skins -- the Planet Doom one was all we had.
We will be tweaking for awhile. As we hunt down graphics and stuff.

I would like to thank din for all the work he did trying to convert the old posts and setting up these forums. He basically did little else from Friday - Sunday night.
Thanks din!
