Converting to Zetaboards

[Nicolas King]

Hogwarts New Zealand has decided by vote to convert to a new forum system known as ZetaBoards.
The board will be automatically converted (all members, posts, topics etc.) to the new forum system sometime after the next round of Automatic conversions start -- within the next few days.

This means that once HNZ is converted there may be up to a day where the board could look excruciatingly messed up and horrid, codes running a muck, a bright purple and orange skin etc. Fear not, it will all change as soon as I have the opportunity to log in and install the new codes, and new skins.

The conversation for this and the poll about it can be found here along with the list of positives and negatives to converting.

Thank you all for your time and patience,

~Nick

Conversions will begin this evening at 8:30 PM (EDT) [Eastern Daylight Time, so a very specific form of EST].
All users are asked not to refresh the board constantly when the converter has started to work on HNZ (Which may take a few hours).
When it does begin work on HNZ it will turn the board offline such that you will see a board error message which will likely state the board is undergoing software updates.

Thank you for being patient with us during this process,

~The Hogwarts New Zealand Admin team.
