• Scheduled Downtime: There will be a brief period when the forum will be unavailable. We’ll provide ample notice beforehand to minimize disruptions.
• Data Integrity: All posts, accounts, and threads will be safely migrated. Your contributions are our top priority.
• New Features: You’ll notice several new features to make interactions more engaging. We’re confident the upgrade will elevate your experience from advanced search filters to improved private messaging.
