Enjoy your shiny new badges. |

According to the FAQ 5000+ is Watchman
Is the string below the the rss feed tag like images meant to be scrambled? I can't read anything but it looks like there is something written. |

That's intentional, like the level cap in most D&D games, so that your epic feats don't make you too powerful.
Note to self: Get name changed to "Devil's" before someone else does. |

I'm "supposed" to be looking into upgrading the forum to the newest version of phpBB but I haven't gotten around to it yet. When I do I'll post a thread somewhere asking for input about bugs and such. Hopefully I'll find the time soon.

Will you keep the design or will everything change to multicolored buttons etc.
Do we get a new search engine?

Those of you who participated in the bunder's phpBB v3 pilot forum last year already have a good idea how the look will change (namely, not much). Those of you who did not will be pleasantly or unpleasantly surprised, according to your individual tastes.

What he said. In addition, I believe phpBB v3's search is somewhat less dreadful, though I've no idea whether our stopwords list would alter that, if the list carries over.

Wasn't the OTW postcount deducted? I remember going back a number of posts when this was implemented,

I didn't say OTW postcount. I said non-OTW postcounts. This would cap at a figure, just like in yr profile the max posts is capped at 6666 (even tho some of us have over 10,000)
