Welcome to the new, improved Gang of Five forum!
You will find that some things are slightly different with your profiles. Take a moment to look around and figure out all the features.
Furthermore, to keep the GOF an active, friendly place for LBT fans, we've made some changes at the top, quite literally.
Your current admin staff have red usernames. They are rhombus, Nick22, and zero-point. zero-point joins the staff as lead forum designer and manager of code as zetaboards requires a different code set than the older invision power boards.
Inactive administrators still have admin powers, but should not be contacted for immediate issues with the board. They are part of the Circle of administrators, have a light blue color, and admin badge. They should continue to be respected as honored leaders of the GOF whenever they come online to post. These members are Malte279, Littlefoot1616, and Mumbling.
Currently, two moderators are still part of the GOF, and have powers to moderate all sections of the board. These members are Kor and the Great Valley Guardian.
I remain a consultant to rhombus and Nick as necessary, but am not part of the active administrative team, thus I do not have a red badge.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As for forums, everything appears to have transferred smoothly. Still, some changes have been made.
The Rock Circle has been renamed "Forum Issues" and is now simply a section to discuss current happenings on the board, or to pose a question to the staff about the GOF. The voting process that used to be part of the Rock Circle section as part of the decision making process has been disbanded permanently. This will no longer be happening. Administration will continue to work together to make decisions, but it will be no more complicated than that.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I thank you all for your patience and thoughts, as we were given no choice on the matter of upgrading our board system, and chose the option we felt would give us the smoothest transition possible. In time, I believe you will find that zetaboards will work just as well as our old invision system, and the upgraded changes should keep spambots out.
Be well.
