I do not know yet. We need to backup the forum, and install said backup first, along with making sure that everything works properly, and preparing the lists of usernames that will be sent the email invitations.

How will profiles be affected?

They won't really be.
We won't allow non-staff to edit profiles during the move to reduce the workload, and we'll need to redirect any links to versus threads to the new forums, but aside from that nothing's happening to the profiles for now.

Will there be email notifications for the new forum?Antvasima said:

So, sometime in the next 24 to 48 hours, our forums here on VsBattles.Fandom will begin being backed up & transferred, & until the move is complete, revisions will have to be put on hold?
During this time where most threads except the Fun & Games forum, the General forum, the Versus threads forum, the rule-violation reports thread & the information threads about the migration itself, will publishing Calculation Blogs still be worthwhile?

16 hours left actually, cuz 12.00 am UCT time.
You can message calculation blogs to calc group members on message walls I suppose.

We could technically use that option, but the service would cost a lot of money to apply, so it might be better if we strictly use internal notifications instead.

I think that this option technically won't be shut off for regular members (although I am not certain), but it is probably best if you avoid publishing them unless they are very important, as it would take up a lot of my time to keep helping out with around 40 blogs each day, and I both really need a break and for both me and the staff to be able to focus sufficiently on the moving process.Imaginym said:
If there is a currently ongoing discussion in a blog post, you can probably continue as usual with that though, and inform the calc group members about new important responses via their message walls.

Will all the forums in the past disappear from this move?
- 11,095

They will disappear in May because Fandom want to replace all forums with discussions (which doesn't work for us).

That is correct, yes, although it is largely because the old forums use an outmoded and bad programming system, so with the general system update they won't work anymore.Spinosaurus75DinosaurFan said:

What will happen to all the previous matches that were added? The thread would be deleted, of course. Would that mean we have to go archive the discussions, or remove the match?

Are there any issues with, at this time, disclosing what title &/or sender the invitation notification email will have when users receive it? I assume it might be subject to change in the near future or the like, at least or that there may be concerns that disclosing such info could be a security concern.
Speaking personally, I often stress that I might somehow not receive it, despite being confident the system likely won't glitch or the like, & I'm think many users receive many email notifications per day from Fandom about followed threads & the like. Among so many such emails, it may be difficult for a user to locate an email if the user does not know what title or sender to look for.

I'm not sure, Fandom sends it I presume.
By the time we get the notification email we won't get forum notifications anymore since they'll be nuked lol.

Yeah we can still chat in the forums, it's just that everything you say won't be saved.
Unofficial versus threads can take place too.

When you say nothing after today will be saved, do you mean threads made after the forum change starts? Or any/all of the on-going threads already made?

I mean new posts and threads made after today. If you make a backup of the contents of your computer today, and then add lots of new files to your computer later, the old backup will not automatically contain said new files or modified versions of the old ones.

So, all posts that are currently up will be removed from this and no longer accessible?
