Sega Nerds

OMG! Warez my forarms!?!?!

by Chris on June 9th, 2007

If you tried logging into the Sega Nerds forums today, you may have been shocked to see a totally new forum system implemented. After the initial shock wore away, it might have been replaced with aggravation because the forum registration has been turned off.

Well, there’s a reason for that. Our blog and forum database is now interconnected. What does that mean exactly? Well, it means that you now only need to set up an account on the Sega Nerds blog, and it will automatically log you in at the forums.

However, as with any move to a new technology, we’re experiencing a few headaches. One is the phpBB database can’t be transferred to our new forum, so that means we’re starting over. Completely.

For our existing members, I’m going to have to set your forum account manually. Please e-mail me at chris[at]seganerds.com or catch me on AIM at remotelyqueued1, and I’ll hook ya up.

While we may experience a few bumps initially, our new forum is much more powerful than our old one and will enable us to do even more cool things in the short future. Stick with us!
