Launch Schedule
Ladies and gents we have a launch date for the new Aeipathy site!!
For those of you who aren't already in the loop, Aeipathy's community is basically the best ever and have contributed towards paying for Aeipathy to go fully ad-free and content open. Which means all the smut and violence you want, no ads, and still all the wonderful features that make Aeipathy great because it will have a proboards back end system that I can can code up to the eyeballs. Ergo, this is all a pretty big deal.
The downside is that the forum hoster do not offer a server transfer set up which means I have been slowly and laboriously copy and pasting each and every post people have made to our new forum. This is still on-going (though all of the IC posts are now done thank goodness!! >.<" and I am now able to confidently give a release date for when the rest of the work will be done on the site <3
Here's how it's all going to go down... We are going to have to cut off bits of service on the old site before we can activate them on the new site (because we need to double check all of the info and all of threads and make sure we're not losing any content in the transfer over). So...
Saturday 29th June - All new threads will be disabled.
Ergo. Members can post as normal but they will not be able to make new threads. This allows the staffers to check that we have all the correct threads in place on the new site, without new ones being made behind us.
Wednesday 3rd July - All posting will be disabled.
Ergo. Members will not be able to post at all on the site. It will be a posting dead time from the 4th until launch. This allows the staffers to check that we have all the correct posts in place on the new site, without new ones being made behind us.
Wednesday 3rd July - Email submissions open.
Members will be asked to send their email addresses to JD via DM. This will allow us to update your accounts with your own email addresses and have your accounts ready to go for launch.
Friday 5th July - Staff Access.
Our Staff and Mentors will gain access to the new site in order to have a look around, get their bearings of any new features and make sure they are 100% clued up on the new forum, before we open it to the community.
Saturday 6th July - SITE LAUNCH.
The new forum will be taken out of maintenance mode and opened to the community. You'll be able to log into your accounts and all characters will be 100% up to date and ready to go. Posting will immediately be reopened and you'll be ready to go straight off the bat!
Pop these dates in your diaries folks! They'll be announced in our #announcements channel when we get there, but it's always good to be looking ahead!
Hope you guys are as psyched for our new home, as I am! <3
