The boxes are packed, and the removal van is on its way - Frank is moving to a new home
If all goes to plan, this will be the final week that Frank will be hosted on this software; on Saturday at Midnight, we will migrate to the new software and domain. We have been testing, refining it for the past month, and it will no doubt evolve after migration; the new software is far more flexible so that it can become a forum tailor-made for P2P investors; once you arrive, if you have any ideas feel free to suggest them. As this is a new environment there will be changes, so it may take time to settle in, but I'm sure you will all quickly get used to the new design and features. At its core, it is a simple forum, so should be intuitive, but if you have any issues when you arrive, please feel free to contact me via any forum
The new forum will be acting as an archive of all the accessible information on this forum, much the same many archiving websites online work. We will not be moving any personal information which is not in the openly accessible, including Private Messages, Passwords, E-mails, avatars or IP Details; the only details that will be moved during migration will be those that are openly accessible (basically just posts & threads). You will have to provide consent (see below) for us to move your details to the new forum
Migration Timeline
To claim your account on the new forum, all you will have to do is PM an Admin on the old forum (i.e. this forum) and provide permission for us to move your details over. The details will be your Username, Avatar & Email (hidden - used for PW reset). A password reset will be sent to your email, and you'll be ready to access the new forum and your account
