Welcome to the official unofficial forums!

[TheGrandmaster]

Basically, about an hour ago danhezee got a message from ben..

[17:21] <@danhezee> incoming quote from ben
[17:22] <@danhezee> "why doesnt someone start a 3rd party forum like with minecraft. if it gets 500 regs ill dub it official. should be easy if myforums are so bad"
[17:23] <@StackOverflow> but...
[17:23] <@StackOverflow> uhh
[17:23] <@mikuli> TheGrandmaster
[17:23] <@mikuli> TheGrandmaster, TheGrandmaster TheGrandmaster TheGrandmaster
[17:23] <@StackOverflow> that would be on a shared host
[17:23] <@danhezee> i responded "Awesome that is what we will do"
[17:23] <@mikuli> aos.site50.net needs expanding

So... we have expanded!
We hope this can become the hub that the AoS community deserves.
If/when bcoolface finds this place all ready and setup/comfortable (and has 500+ members) the likelihood will be a direct database import to the main site.
This is our aim, hope you guys can all share in this.

Please do re-add all of your maps/mods etc, as they should be transferred over to the official if/when they are transferred.

Hope this works out. This forum you've made is alot better that the old ones. I especially like the easy bold and italics.

I'm liking this a whole lot more, looks more professional.

So we need 500 for this to be "official"? good luck with that.

Well according to http://www.ace-spades.com/forums/statistics.php There is at least 62,811 registered on AoS forums

[Kodiak]

And 50000 of them are all T_G Alt accounts ;)

[TheGrandmaster]

Naa, about 20k are spam accounts, would be easy to remove them but never got around to doing the sql for it.

500 isn't too large a number.. these forums are much more advanced than the regular, it's just a case of informing people that this place exists.

All the data from the old one will be ported, then the forum itself will be scraped.

[Enari]

I'm don't think anything will be ported..

[Fluttershy]

speaking of porting, is the "new old" forums still porting threads?
