Zetaboards
Superproxy and I have joined talked and collaborated on a brand spanking new idea for the Forum, one that would make the Forum much more interesting and fun to interact to other members. We are pleased to announce the beta testing of the ZetaBoards. We are planning to transfer to a new forum (again, i know..)

Why?

As you can see there are hundreds of hosts that offers free forums, namely phpbb(which we are using right now), which has a limited ACP configurations when it comes to forum handling. Unlike zetaboards it has tons of features which you would really love to use and has a professional look on it.

A bit about zetaboards:
Zetaboards is the new and much improved version of invisionfree (which we used before)

Where's the @#@^# link?
Now, before clicking the link, The Founder of zeta informed us not to start a community for it is in beta state. The beta testing forum will be deleted soon. We will start a new community when it is officially released. You can go and try our test board

*note: the test forum is still buggy, please bear with it for a while.*

URL LINK:
When the official zetaboards is released, our url goes something like this
zetaboards.com/OUR FORUM/

Forum transferring and Forum name will be decided by votation.
http://csisboards.forumwise.com/csisboards-post-4983.html#4983 please vote, Eleksyon 2007
*vote buying is prohibited* lolx

Now i would like all of you to vote if you agree to transfer to a new forum.

Frequently Asked
Could you provide me with an estimate on when the upgrade to v2.0 will occur? / When will ZetaBoards come out?
At this moment in time we have no estimate as to when the upgrade will occur.

Will all the topics be saved when we transfer?
hmm.. this is kinda hard, for phpbb is different from ipb, but dont worry ill work on it.. Your topics and post counts will be saved.
