1,000 apologies if these questions have been answered, I could not find anything initially about my concerns.

I would also appreciated only answers from the powers that be, please. Thank you.

First question: Will founding date still be displayed?

I heard some speculation about this, hence why I am asking.

Second question: Will previously banned members still be banned?

I know some things might get messed up in the transfer, and I hope this isn't one of them.

Third question: Will the search feature be restored?

I'm pretty sure the answer is yes, but I'm just checking.

1) You mean in the forums? The capability exists; take a look at any topic for yourself. (http://forums.jolt.co.uk) I think we will be displaying Founding date, but I'm not certain.

2) I think so, but I'll have to discuss this with the other moderators.

3) Yes. Full author and keyword functionality will resume; whatever's available in vBulletin3.

thanks coggy :)

From what I understand, since banned members are banned via ISP, and that information is stored, it'll be a simple matter of transfering that data to the new servers. No more or less complicated than nation-transfers.

DOS orders, by their nature, will be retained as that's just SOP.

Looking over the Jolt forum linked, I wonder...
Will the NS, II, and other forums be merged into the Jolt forums or will they remain distinct?

I count over 100 different forums there. I see both good and bad potential if mixed with the general population...

The NS forums will be a subforum.
Non-nations won't be able to post on our forum.
