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

New Coat o' Paint!

Hey all!

So I made myself a little promise with the migration to the new forum, and now that it's here, it's time to finally act upon it. First, allow me to clear something up. I am the writer formally known as "Fyn16." But, due to years upon years of realizing that naming myself after my primary character is probably not the best of ideas, I decided to wipe the slate clean once the forum reached the end of its great journey. So, Fyn16 is buried, and Horizon is here to stay.

Part of the idea behind changing my name was also to kick myself in the butt a bit. I've been a little inactive as of late, and I thought perhaps reinventing myself might give me the spark I need to get involved again! I've already resumed work on my fic, so I guess we'll see. In any case, it's great to be back. I have no qualms whatsoever about starting from zero again. In fact, it's almost a little refreshing. Time to work my way back up to where I was! Can't wait to get back in business.

I suppose if you all need any additional proof, I could... write something?  :lol

Greetings with new name, Fyn!

How is changing username feature work on new forum?
Because it would be better if you save all data on your account. People like me search user's old topics and posts through it.

First of all, welcome back to the forum!  :smile I am glad that you made the transition to our new home.  The changing to a new forum is certainly a good time to make changes that either were not possible before, or perhaps inappropriate at the time.  If you wish I could add Fyn in parentheses so that people know your former identity, though if you do not want to do that, that is perfectly fine as well - I already had to do this for LettuceBacon&Tomato when the forum disliked the special character in his original username.  It might be a good idea for the first month or so to put "formerly known as Fyn16" in your title just to avoid confusion.  :yes

All that said, welcome aboard! It might be a new username, but it is nice to see the same friendly face return to our forum.  :smile


Go ahead and check out my fanfictions, The Seven Hunters, Songs of the Hunters, and Menders Tale.

I'm pretty certain the username can be changed on the old account so all of "fyn16" posts reflect the new name.

Welcome back Fyn..er, Horizon! Don't kick yourself too hard over your inactivity. If I did the same I would have been dead by now :p

Thanks for the warm re-welcome, everyone!

Regarding the posts from the mods, I'm not entirely sure I want my old post count to carry over. I'll get back to you on that. I will update my signature, however, so as not to confuse anyone.
