1. A move to yuku.
Yuku is the web 2.0 version of ezboard. The board will be migrated, which means all the topics, user ids, passwords etc will be moved to the new service. The new AD-FREE service.
I've added a notice about yuku up the top of the forum, so you can read the list of features. Web 2.0 geeks like me will love the tagging and searching functionality, and everyone else gets to enjoy the ad-free forum as it is.
2. a new mod.
What with me being too busy to do more than check the boards, and the other moderating mod* busy in the Katrina zone, there's been a lack of attention. With this in mind I'll be appointing a new mod so that I can formally take a seat at the back of the bus.
Realistically, the dearth of new FP material - rumours from Lawrence's 'not-a-blog' aside - makes it seem likely the forum will run at low traffic levels for the foreseeable future. Possibly, with the move to yuku (see 1), we'll look at revising the forum's intent etc.
So, there we are.
*as opposed to the people with mod status from the various FP publishers
