But we may be on the move again. (I feel like we're a pack of wilderbeest or something... meh...)
It has come to my attention that several accounts have been mysteriously deleted from this site. Now, those of you who have been with us for some time will know what this means, and why we have to leave. Because Magic Horizons is such a large and active community, the system finds it more difficult to maintain, and occasionally it can get confused and do some crazy stuff - like delete characters. It happened before, and we saved most of it by leaving onto a new forum - this one. We may have to do the same again.
But keep in mind that THIS MAY ONLY BE A FALSE ALARM. I am going to check on every account that has somehow been deleted, and if the numbers are adding up then we do have to move on.
I would also like to remind you all of the warning I sent out almost a year ago, warning you of what would happen if you did not frequently delete your unwanted messages from your inbox and outbox, and about the amount or size of the images you place in your signature. I know that there are many of you who conveniently forgot that we were trying to be careful, but I am begging of you to be careful now, on this forum and on the next one, if we are forced to move.
I will let you all know as soon as possible.
~ Wilting Rose.

Sephe was trying to explain this to me. She said something about moving the forum, things would be pretty much the same, so don't worry about it Michelle, plus this all might be a bug, and things will get sorted out.

Last time it was all the same boards etc, it'll just be that there won't be any posts on the board... but it'd still be archived on this site... I think

Hmm...I know a few people with a couple hundred pm's in the inboxes as well as their outboxes. I'm not mentioning names, right Rez, Aidana, and Roan? ;D

*Just got a chance on his sucky computer to post* Well, I cleaned my in/outbox when I read the post. Hopefully we wont need to move, or else we would need to work so hard to gain everything we made on this site: a reputation, the members*, and more.
*Sure, all members will transfer, but then, all the members who are inactive wil be gone, a good thing, but then all noobs who come on just to spam will think that it is a new Role Play site and come in like this:
_____ bust up in da magic skool and screams "Da masta is hurr yo! Drop the bomb on deez mofos!!!!!111231231231412!!!" while sharpening his blade which has slain many ebil deMON$$$ of d00m who killeded his parents when he came out his mommas womb,yo [End n00b imitation: Gangsta Mode]

But we may be on the move again. (I feel like we're a pack of wilderbeest or something... meh...) Ahahaha...!!! XD. That's so..funny... >.> Ahem. Anyway, even though it would be a lot of work for Rose and Claire to redo the whole board, I think it would be an excellent idea. That way we could get rid of unwanted accounts, and unactive people. Also...er...well, the post count, if Rose/Claire could disable it right away, then the posts count would be better because all of that OOC wouldn't count? But, anyhoo, it would be sad to see everything mess up. So. DELETE YOUR IMS. Growl. >.> ;D

Haven't I mentioned that the story about how image sizes affect the site is a myth? While the size and number of the images will affect how quickly the screen loads on a computer, it does nothing about how Proboards functions. Really, my avatar is no bigger than any image in any person's sig, because all that proboards does is hosts the code that says, if this person is viewed, retreive this image and display it. It does absolutely nothing to how much space we take up on Proboards' servers because Proboards doesn't host the images.

Faylinn, I'm thinking they already have disabled the ooc posts. Well, at least any post in the Muggle world. It doesn't count in the post count in one's profile. Take a look. Check your count, then post in the Muggle World, then check the count again. It doesn't change. *Pets teh Lycan-girly affectionately*

Well, IF we do end up moving - and I'm not going to express an opinion going either way - I've copied all of my favourite threads onto my computer, so that I can print them out and read them when I'm in bed at night.
So I'm prepared, just in case the answer turns out to be deleting all the threads that are over 6 months old - since they were last posted at, not since they began.

Hrmmm. Well if the forum falls apart like the time before...I see no problem in moving again. This board will most likely stay as an archive just as the last one, but yes mortals, pretty please clear out your PM boxes. *Bats eye lashes*
