One very important thing that you have to know before registering on the new site. . .
You will NOT be able to change your username. Your username by default is also your screen name and unlike Proboards, you are unable to change it. Under mitigating circumstance the admin can change your username/screen name.
To reiterate, choose your username/screen name wisely because you will be stuck with it if you don’t like it.
Also - please make sure you read topics posted in the Front Desk. These are very important and set the rules and regulations of the forum.

Why are we moving?
After experiencing many ups and downs with the technical site of the current service provider, Proboards, it became evident that Server 23 is notoriously troublesome due to heavy traffic. This has caused great speed issues for the forum, at times rendering it unusable.
Also – with the launch of “24Natic – The Site”, the community should, in theory at least, get bigger, so want to offer you and the new members improved service.
So after much debate among the staff, it was decided that a move to new service provider would help the community on the whole.
Where are we moving to?
Invision – another service provider. Invision offers more tools for posters and the admin team as well as offering an increase in speed.
So where can I find out more about Invision and how it works?
The forum offers an extensive Help Guide. You can access this on the user panel as soon as you register. Also – useful hints have been posted on the Front Desk.
Depends. We will need to build the back-catalogue of episodes guides, pictures etc… but one step at a time. We’ll come to you at a later stage. If you have any burning desire to contribute however, feel free to let us know.
Can I be a Mod on the forum?
We’ll be offering the position of moderators to people who we think would suit the role. Please don’t ask, we’ll contact you.
What happens to my post count?
You will get to keep your post counts. We’ll reinstate them when you register.
And the Ranks?
Well, these have changed slightly. You’ll just have to wait and see . . . .
Will posts be transferred from Proboards to Invision?
No unfortunately they wont.
Will they be deleted or can I still see them?
No. The Proboards site will remain open but only as a gateway. If you’re desperate to view posts made on Proboards, we can arrange this but you will not be able to change them or reply. IM me on the new site and let me know that you want to still be able to read this forum and I'll arrange it for you.
