The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

Unfortunately because the forum stagnated to a RIDICULOUS extent (Kor and I are the only two active members and even then, we post only on 1 topic and even that's getting old); I have decided to move the forum to a Proboards engine (like Explorer did) and I renamed it as well as focused more on the role playing aspect.

It is offline as I need to get the forum the way I want it.

Not sure if switching to Proboards will help with the member base but it seemed to help Explorer.

I have my doubts that will change anything.  I think what did your site in over time is it was too general.  There are lots of "furry forums" out there...what made yours unique?  Did it have a specific focus?  If it didn't have these, then your move to a different board system won't save it.

As I have said, I have focused MUCH more on the roleplaying aspect.

I'll do a MASSIVE revamp of the forum and see what happens, failing that; I'll just start fresh.
