ARE YOU READY?

The big upgrade day is coming soon... are you ready?As of now, the upgrade is tentatively planned for the weekend of June 13-14. We are working out the specifics now.There's a couple things you should know: Due to the nature of the upgrade and the "outdatedness" of this current forum software, it will not be possible to carry your existing passwords into the new software. What this means is that everyone will need to reset their passwords once the new site is live. We will provide prominent links for you or, if possible, we may send out automatic password resets in bulk. Aside from the passwords, EVERYTHING is being transferred to the new software. We expect there to be little to no loss of actual content from old to new. In fact, we have taken great care and pride in protecting the content so it is not lost or garbled during conversion. This should be a great relief to those who were deeply disappointed by another famous conversion about 5 years ago... This conversion was the primary point of the crowdfunding campaign. It was much, much, MUCH more painful than we anticipated and the other promises we made got delayed. I can't even put into words how much work this process has been, but we've learned a lot and are excited for the upcoming new chapter for our little venture. That said, we do have most of the swag ready for departure and hope to get it shipped out this month. So thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for your continued patience. It is my belief that the software conversion will be super-awesome, but I think there will be at least a month of fallout following the conversion due to the need to assist users with the transition (requesting new passwords, etc.). I'm going to spend some time over the next couple of weeks trying to set things up to make it as painless as possible for everyone. Even so, please accept my apologies in advance if things get a bit hectic during/after the conversion has been completed.Once the dust settles a bit, we'll start launching our other upgrades, such as mobile access and other cool features we eluded to in the crowdfunding campaign. Exciting times. I'm a little nervous, but the excitement easily trumps the nervousness.Hang on gang, it's going to get fun..

Wendell....ARE YOU READY?

I'll put away my trains and r/c flying machines for a while and help you out if you need/want it. You know I'm happy to help if I can.
Support is likely going to be needed for the lurkers and occasional visitors.
So when is the "big day" so I can put on my "big boy" pants. 😀
