With Vitosoprano gone, I doubt it could be done if we wanted. I know I have administration clearance and still can't do it.(Or maybe I was doing something wrong?) There will be no more areas from now on in this forum, until some of the board creators return. Faestos has raised an interesting point... so we've now run into the problem where this board is in a static state. The last time this happened, many moons ago, a new board had to be created. My personal opinion is that we abandon this board and create a new one... preferably going back to using InvisionFree. A new board with a bit of pre-planning has the advantage of allowing for you to create a Root Admin account that can be passed along as needed. I know I've taken a back seat since my return, and that many of the members on here really don't know me, so I'm not all that sure how much my opinion will count these days. But this is my two cents worth. If there is interest in moving ahead with such a project, I'd be happy to devote time to basic administration of the new board (managing the forums, deleting accounts of "expired" nations, basic moderation, etc.). I have no desire to take on any sort of political role, leaving that to those who are currently much more involved in the RP diplomatic aspect of things.

I do believe we should move, and atleast this time we can take what we truly want to bring with us along. I just prefer Invision to proboards and the admin situation would be much better handled there. It's obviously majority rule I suppose, and then again if we could find a way maybe the Confederacy could retain this board for their personal use.

I support Lygonia's proposal. We need to make this move now that the creators of this forum are gone. Besides, I can't stand ProBoards and welcome a move back to InvisionFree.

Ok, I think that settles it.
I've created a board, and am now waiting on it to be converted to their new zetaboard format (apparently InvisionFree 2.0). Once that happens and I have a final URL ('cause I think the conversion changes it), I'll post it here.
Also after the conversion, I'll create the basic forums, and we can tweak it as much as needed to fit the current needs of the region.
The only account I created thus far is a "med_admin" account, so it can be easily passed around as needed to make sure we don't run into a crisis like on here.

I think I speak on behalf of the confederacy that we would like to move to InvisionFree. It is a better forum. Also, given that we will be having some semi-member-states moving into the confederacy, it would be best for us to all stick together.

Ok, correction... Let's go ahead and move to the new Forum. If nothing else, I need to see it in use to really get an idea of how it should be configured. Keep in mind that the URL may change at some point; if it does, I'll post it on NationStates. z10.invisionfree.com/ns_med/Novum Roma, please update the URL posted on NationStates so we can start directing people to the new forum.

Yeah, though it looks like basically the same people post there that used to post here as well...
