I will be attempting to transfer the whole site over to a new hosting service. All posts, topics, and settings will remain intact(hopefully), but through the change I will be able to have a much greater degree of control over the site, and be able to add in many, many more things.

Comments? Questions?

Btw, the new site will be http://x4pointproductions.zymichost.com/index.php(You can visit it now, but it's not finished yet).

--PROGRESS LIST
* Install phpBB on the new domain. << Complete!
* Restore all settings. << Complete!
* Restore all ranks. << Complete!
* Restore all forums and subforums. << Complete!
* Restore all users. << Complete!
* Restore topics/posts. << IN PROGRESS 80.8%
* Install Ajax Shoutbox. << TO BE DONE
* Install CashMod. << CANCELLED
* Install Ultimate Points System << Complete!
* Install Quick Reply. << TO BE DONE
* Miscellaneous << TO BE DONE
* Finalization and Polishing << TO BE DONE
* Celebrate! <<TO BE DONE


--ULTIMATE POINTS SYSTEM
I discovered that CashMod is incompatible with the current version of our forum, and have hence instead installed Ultimate Points System. Many times more versatile than CashMod, Ultimate Points System is indeed the ultimate forum currency.

--FEATURES
* A fully changeable point name.
* A fully changeable point image. If you visit the new site, you can see the little vespene gas icon.
* Fully changeable settings for point gain. Currently, they are:
+ 5.00 Vespene Gas for creating a poll.
+ 0.50 Vespene Gas for voting in a poll.
+ 10.00 Vespene Gas for creating a new topic.
+ 2.00 Vespene Gas for making a post.

* A bank system, complete with interest, service fees, and withdrawal fees no withdrawal fees! Currently, they are:
+ 1% interest PER DAY.
- 0.1 Vespene Gas per day that your bank account is open.

* A lottery system! Current features:
* Buy up to 3 tickets per round.
* 10.00 Vespene Gas per ticket.
* A draw is held every week.
* The winner recieves 35.00 Vespene Gas plus the ENTIRE value of ALL the tickets bought.
Note: The lottery system by default is not integrated, so it will instead be held manually via a topic.



Oh, and Ultimate Points System aside, the new site looks better.

--To be Updated, stay tuned!

Forum currency - is it available?

I'm also hoping you get a background more pleasing to the eye than the retina-burning white thats there right now.

Very true. Also, I'm wondering... Why exactly are we changing services? This site is absolutely fine and it seems like there's no point. I don't think we need to do it; what we need is to start another mafia game!

Oh and also, when I tried to load up the page, it took a little longer than this one... could it be slower or is it just my computer? O.O

Yes. That and anything else. I might even be able to implement a 'store' like SEN has. What this new hosting does is it allows FTP access, meaning I can edit the site's core files. This allows me virtually unlimited power over every aspect of the site.

That being said, it will indeed be significantly slower than freeforum, freeforum is a very popular and funded site, but it doesn't allow much access, I'd much rather trade for FTP though.

--UPDATE

The databases and core files are set up. All that remains is to transfer the posts, topics, members,settings, etc. to the new domain host. If this cannot be done, then the only options will be to start over from scratch, or stick with this host.

I vote to change services, my posts aren't that valuable to me, if it means you guys will be more active, I'll trade all my posts for 0 any day.
