This all happened over a week or two. The #1 reason for moving was so I'd have 100% control over the forum. The old froum was nice but when someone had a problem I was unable to do anything to help. Now, I've got full control.
The forum was going to stay hidden until a certain person leaked a thread on the list. It just moved up the timeline by a week so it wasn't a big deal.
I'm hoping, people will be more inclined to donate to the new site.
