Just wanted to know what you guys thought about finally moving the forum off proboards. I would have liked to wait until we built a solid member-base but I think a move is exactly what this place needs right now considering it's on the verge of dying It'd be a fresh start and we could start over and make it something new instead of trying to revive an old forum that was started back in '05. I'm fairly sure I know which forum software I'd like to use, but I'll bring that up later in the discussion. So let me know what you think.

Yes!! I think once we do something this drastic, the community will come back and Kai Kanji will be saved!

Eventually I'd like to make a website too, I've kind of been throwing around some ideas but I think it'd be cool to do some kind of monthly web-based publication. Like an e-zine. And make it sort of a community project where members can submit articles. I dunno, that's a plan for much further down the road.
I would like to bring something up about some possible changes to a newer Kai-Kanji. I think I'd like to completely phase out the rpg section. It's always been the hardest part of the forum to keep active so I think we should just get rid of it altogether.

I guess for now, until the traffic picks up again. As for the website I think its a splendid idea.
If you need hosting for site/new forum just let me know, I have an account I'm currently not using.

Mm, a new website/forum would be a good idea. /nodnod. Maybe something like a blog of sorts? Where official staff could post articles/reviews/etc., and a forum for the rest of the community.
And -- taking out the RP part would be good.
And and sorry this is rushed, I'm in a hurry right now. I just thought I should post here. ._. I'll edit this post/post again later with more feedback. [/sup]

Nah its understandable.
But yes, this upgrade is just the inspiration we need to get KKF back on its feet.
KAI KANJI: REVIVAL... AGAIN!?

Haha, as far as I'm concerned this is just an extension of the original revival.
So, I've got the hosting covered since I already purchased space for my portfolio. I think I can get started on the new forum in a couple weeks when I get out of school.

How soon are you planning on switching forums?
I assume it's still not possible to move the forum's content, right? It's been a long time since I've used proboards and I don't know what has been updated since then.
Just joined the forum and though I'd post. If you plan on starting from scratch, I think I'd rather hold off until you make the new forum/site and just post there.
In any case, I'm looking forward to this new forum.

Eh we wont be moving officially for a few weeks, so might as well give an intro! Besides we're gonna need as much activity as we can get to help spread word about the move/new forum anyhow!

Unfortunately, because Proboards is remotely hosted there is no way for me to move the content over. :/ Some good news though, I've already got the actual forum set up, at this point it's just a matter of installing some plugins and editing a theme. I think it will probably be another couple of weeks before I can drop a link to the forum. In the mean time you should post here! We wouldn't want to lose ya before the switch. EDIT: Nevermind, Avid already said what I wanted to say
