Ladies and gentlemen, Amanda (who owns the head admin account) just received an e-mail inviting her to join a closed beta test of ProBoards v5. After looking through screenshots and test forums which utilize v5, the staff has decided that, no, we will not join the closed beta.
Unfortunately, it looks like we'll eventually be forced to upgrade anyway. ProBoards Patrick Clinger has said, "ProBoards v5 is our next generation forum software that is being actively developed by our team. Once completed, all existing ProBoards forums will be upgraded to this new platform."
So, this means that we might see some mandatory changes eventually. We don't know when this seemingly inevitable change will occur, so we couldn't say how long it will take. If the change ever happens, that is.
Although I doubt our data would be erased during the conversion, I'm going to start saving our threads, anyway.
Rafiki: "Ah, change is good."
Bullspit, Rafiki!

Can you tell us what kind of changes are in the works?
I can't imagine they would be stupid enough to make an upgrade that erased users' data. Could they?

Certainly. Here are the upcoming changes... I'm sorry for acting immature, but I DON'T LIKE CHANGE!

I'm fine with the way Proboards presently is as well. Really don't see a point to any of these changes. *shrugs*

I thought it didn't look too bad. But none of the "upgrades" really seemed all that compelling. Except for editing the shoutbox.
I assume that's the same as a chatbox? Excuse my naivete.
