Upgradination

GIA.com has finished being upgraded. Here is a rundown of the new features as spoken by Smutz himself.

This was taken from before the upgrade so make sure not to get confused. By the way, currently the site is being overhauled and it has only been part of the upgrade, coming next, graphics. For now enjoy the new gia.com.

This week, hopefully, the forum overhaul shall be taking place. Now, this raises some teeth grinding questions about it. Below, I did this in a Q. & A. style update. Just so I didn't confizzel punks like RoAF =P.

Q. ZOMG! Will everything be lost!?
Not really, per say. All accounts/posts will be safe. However, all the things like backgrounds, and everything else, will be gone, or different.

Q. What are you upgrading to?
We will be upgrading to IdealBB.Net, the same software Bungie.net uses. I would guess though, we have a newer version, since the version came out about one or two weeks ago.
We will have a better rich text editor, which I am very proud of. That is an example of all the buttons on it. Of course, many less will be on.


Q. When is this happening?
This week, hopefully like I said earler. The date is yet to be cleared. If it does not happen this week, I will program a forum for an anti-smutzz campaign.

Q. How long will this take?
It will take 3 hours, just because there will be upgrades to the web-server and database server. I hope this will happen around 2 AM EST, but no word on that either. Just keep your eyes peeled, and check back often. If you cannot view the website, then it is
-Broken

Q. Why are you upgrading the database server?
Mainly for the website, but also to access our 133731 H4Xx0R Sk1llz.

That's just about everything for now.
