Ok guys, heres the deal

I have to bring unfortunate news. Our current data center is havign a go at us because of the usage we're using on the forums. We're working on a new server but in the mean time, as we need more space for the super project, there are many things that have to be done.

Firstly, I have been instructed to PURGE avatars. Thats right, all 6000 avatars are to go.

Custom Titles are also taking up valuable space on the server so I have turned them off and in a day or two will run the script to reset everyone's user title to their generic one.

Sigs have also been cut down, the new limit is 40 characters and you cannot have any images whatsoever in them and very little formatting, you still need some individuality on these forums. You all have two weeks to edit your sig to these specifications before the mods get their ban sticks out and start offering infraction points out for those not following suit. 20 per infraction.

Many forums are going to go as well to make room. Many of which will be subject to a public vote that I shall put up tomorrow but there are several that are guaranteed to go including Shipping, all Poll forums, Debates, Face-Offs and Clubs. Those specific forums are going to go Monday Morning

Profile Pictures can now only be seen by you but have got a new size limit upon them so that they don't use too much space, you do need individually afterall.

Images are also being processed on the server for some reason so we've decided that disabling the ability to display images inline is the best course of action

I am really sorry but these changes have to be made.

Hope you all have a nice weekend

So, it just happens that it happens the day before AFD / APD for some people.

Ha, bloody ha.

If this is real, look who was right about the avatars. Me. I think we could combine several like forums, instead of having twenty different ones about the same thing.

This could very well be real, he's told us before we're almost going over our limit. Don't just bash it because of April Fools.

If it is not an april fools joke (I'll give 2 weeks for an announcement =p) I will be leaving serebiiforums XD 40 characters is WAY too small =p
