Hello Sphere Matchers,
It's been a fun 4 years on this forum. We've made many memories, friends and achievements over almost half a decade. However, as all good things end, so does spherematchers.proboards.com. With this thread, we are announcing our brand new forums located on spherematchers.boards.net/
Why did we make a new forum?
We've decided upon this due to multiple factors:
- Proboards v6 is closer and closer by each day, and we cannot risk losing valuable update time due to the waiting periods between the automatic updates
- This current forum is more than outdated and contains a mess of threads, links and alike. We wish to start off fresh and clean.
- The founder of the forum has announced his departure way back in 2016, and ever since we've had certain features and abilities revoked from us due to the ownership not being rightfully transferred.
What's different about the new forum?
We've been keeping a keen ear on your suggestions and bug reports, therefore many changes have been made to the new forum (which is still in beta), such as:
- The default theme for the forum is now in dark mode.
- Staff, Youtuber and Extreme ranked members no longer have tags next to their name. A departure from repeating tags.
- Staff, Youtuber and Extreme ranked members now have colored borders based on their respective role.
- New rank images.
- New homepage.
- New emoticons.
- Addition of new rank -"retired" for resigned moderators/staff.
- New board - "Appeal Discord bans" where registered members can appeal their bans here.
- Multiple niche boards have been combined (such as Luxor QFTA and Luxor 3)
- Denied and accepted applications now go directly to the archive.
- Discord tag profile field to ensure that people can find you on Discord too. (found in Personal settings)
- Removed the Gem system and Cookies (though Cookies might make a return somewhere down the line)
- Moderator age minimum is now 13.
- You can now swear (to an extent) on the new forums.
What will happen to these old forums?
They will remain open until October 22nd, from which they will be placed in infinite maintenance mode. Make sure to transfer all your necessary mod threads to the new board found here: spherematchers.boards.net/board/7/mods
All Youtube ranked users need to reapply again.
Keep in mind that the new forums are still in beta, and that some features still link to this forum. If you spot any bugs, report them to the staff!
Yours sincerely,
Caffster
