Hi, everyone!

Forgotten Wars will be moving to another domain quite soon, and at the same time undergoing an unavoidable name change. This course of action is because Neil Sharp, aka Wolfie, our previous administrator, has asked that we relocate our community to another domain as soon as we are able to do so. He feels that FW is growing away from his original vision, and that therefore we should retire the name and appearance of Forgotten Wars.

I can therefore announce that after a few days of brainstorming, we have finally settled for a new name! FW will now be known as Spellhold Studios and this is also the new domain we shall soon move to.

The forum database will be moved, together with most of the mods, to Spellhold Studios. You will not need to register again, and no data will be lost. A few things might be changed to suit the new environment, but I do not want to spoil anything for you. After the transfer is finished, we will have a free hand to continue working on our other projects, in order to make Spellhold Studios a better modding community.

We are currently in process of making everything ready for the move. It is scheduled to take place on Saturday June 25. The forum will be taken offline for a while as we relocate the database, in order not to lose any information.

Please post comments or questions below.

Best Regards

- Sebastian

Will there be any sort of Lost Our Lease sale? You know, blowing out furnishings and shelving fixtures and so forth at discount prices?

Spellhold Studios *chuckle* So the inmates are running the asylum?

No, seriously I think it is a good move and a nice name. This smells like another Banner Contest!!

A new banner is already in the works, just as everything else regarding the move.

Hostile takeover?

...Out of curiosity, WHAT EXACTLY is Neil Sharp's original vision for this site?
(Concise answers please, no beating about the bush)

I've started a discussion of this question here to avoid clogging this thread.

Sorry, but when rebellious teenagers move out of the family home, they aren't entitled to claim any of the stuff from their old room when the rest of the family eventually choose to relocate. wink.gif

That's a shame, I'd have made SC an offer on the Allies From the Shadows and Juna forums in that box over there. (not a generous offer, but an offer.)

Apologies for my totally unhelpful and misdirected attempt at levity, Jason (and Seb!). I hope my ill-conceived burblings haven't given anyone the wrong idea. Oopsy...

Considering that you'd need to ask Dan 69 and the Shadow fella that made Juna mod for them, not us is easily forgotten then.

Mind, you're last attempt at getting a database had a less then desired result so don't let a small thing like ownership get in the way.

Hmm... interesting. New winds blowing I see. Banner will be made by Khay, right? Spellhold Studios... sounds good, although I wonder how I got into Spellhold with my archmage powers. Otherwise seems that work is being made with precision and skill as always. Waiting for the new appearence of the forums.

Bread and Salt for the New Home.

For what it's worth I joined FW because I really enjoy coming here. I'm new around here so all the history goes over my head but I'd just like to say that I think the current team are great. I consider this one of the best sites out there. Just my 2 cents worth.

And the new name's good to. Many a person has said I belong in an Asylum, and now I do. The joys of being magically deviant. :^^:

Thank you, Jyzabyl. We try our best.

Something that just popped in my mind... this change is going to leave a lot of links in other sites unworking, so have to remember to tell those ppl who don't often come here about this.

[Shed]

Thank you. Finding and updating links will be tricky, and we can use everyone's help !

I have already informed a few parties, going to make a few more mails later... these things are a pain in the ass, if you don't mind me saying.

We're well aware of that.
