Welcome to skUnity!

Hi everyone,

You've probably noticed now, but please welcome @itismejoey to the admin team! He's kindly donated the use of his xenForo license, multiple addons and a lot of his time to make these new fancy skUnity Forums, so I've decided it'd be best for him to have even more room to input, by giving him admin rank.

I'll still be managing the site and working with Wrong and the community, but Joey will be doing a lot of changes by himself now and also managing parts for me.

Thanks

skUnity Forums - a fresh start and new beginning.

Welcome to the new skUnity Forums. The forums now run xenForo, kindly provided by @itismejoey. After a lot of discussion, between me, wrong, joey and many community members, we've come to agreement that the forums need a fresh start. Discourse was amazing, but unfortunately backend faults led to it constantly crashing. NodeBB has for some reason, suffered the same fate and killed the server; hence the long down time. We've thought hard about this and it comes with difficulty to do. Delete a year and a half of history or suffer the consequences of forum downtime?

In the end, we picked the new beginning. We were all against this path, especially @Wrong, who was completely against the fresh start. This fresh start means the forums will work. There shouldn't be anymore downtime as me and @Sam are now hosting the forums while the skUnity server is fixed as part of skUnities and SkriptRepo's partnership.

As part of the transition to xenForo, we have tried to move some of the original thread using a cache viewer of the old skUnity Forums. We have also set the owners of some posts to those who originally posted on skUnity Forums. Some content will obviously be missing and won't be moved back over, however, we hope that everyone here is able to pump the posts back in.

To answer any questions, I've created a list of basic FAQ below. If you have any questions please just reply or PM me them. I'll be more than happy to reply.

Why the reset?
As discussed above, the forum software we were using was causing downtime. Something which was painful to us as staff and users of the forums. xenForo is a...
