In just three days, the Moon will crash into the Earth! Make sure you've got your things together.

Around 6 A.M. Eastern time on November 27, the phpBB forums will close, and the MyBB forums will open later that day! Expect a few hours of downtime on November 27. The mainsite won't be affected, and you can always stay in touch by visiting our Discord chat group.

Legend has it that the last member to post on the forums (excluding board administrators) will earn a nominal prize... if you can survive that falling lunar body, of course.

This actually might be a good time to start backing up notable threads. After the moon crashes conversion to MFGG3 happens, is there any way to look up old threads or edit to get their post code?

I actually like this theme more than the original. (insert thinking Mario emote here)

Don't worry - no information will be lost. Our database can withstand falling lunar objects! We'll make a publicly-viewable archive of the old forums, and we'll be sure that a couple of admins have access to backups, too.

That said, I highly recommend making your own backups of any topics that are especially important to you. Many topics, especially development and art topics, rely on external file hosts and image hosts - and those can be unreliable.

Also, if you want to be technical, the MyBB boards will be Version 6.0 of the MFGG forums.

Oh good. I thought you were going to just let time end and call it a day.

(Also I really like this Majora's Mask site theme. Love the font and colors! So cozy~~)

EDIT: Huh? The font changed as I posted this?! Nooo!

Oh no....Well, can't wait for the end of MFGG.

I'm glad you like the new skin! This is the first time I've made a skin for phpBB, so I don't fully know what I'm doing! It's possible that a few bugs could rear their ugly heads, so let me know if you find any.

The fonts are the same fonts used in Majora's Mask for dialogue boxes and the boss names.

My eyes, my eyes!

Also I feel like the new board isn't ready with things like badges and bugs not being taken care of yet. I suppose they can be done later.

I can't wait for the moon to crash, killing us all instantly.

I just noticed the fact that the Super-Comp badges are Moons.

Huh. (Insert Thinking Mario Emote again [Mario emotes are broken, not a big deal, though].)

I've noted that there is apparently no difference between the colors of Wiki SysOp and normal users.

Well, not a fan of fresh starts like this, but the new forums do look neat none the less.

Wish you'd played this song though:

It's not exactly a bug, but I think some of the small text here and there (e.g. subforum/thread links on the forum index) could be a bit larger. This font is not as legible as Verdana at small sizes.

Will the old blue skin still be there?

Edit: I figured the new layout will grow on me.

Post subject:  Re: The end is near

Honestly I really don't like this Majora's Mask aesthetic. The colors are kinda ugly imo, and a lot of the buttons are broken to some extent. But for what it is, it's adequate and fun.

Minerador Slime: I'm glad you like it!

Kritter: For the MyBB boards, I'll be fixing the lack of multi-badges later today.

Syax: You don't want the moon to kill everyone... it might squash a [url=phpbb.mfgg.net/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=18667]cute pizza girl[/url], too!

Old Yuanxian: Wiki Sysops probably should have a different color from regular members, although that particular CSS is taken directly from the BooBerry skin.

Cap'n Coconuts: I thought it would be really cool if the forums used the same fonts used in the N64 Zelda games, but yeah, Verdana might be more readable at smaller sizes. We may do a little more polishing with this skin later on.

DarkBlueYoshi: Don't worry - all the regular skins will be usable in the phpBB archive once the Majora event ends... assuming the Moon doesn't destroy everything.

Willsaber: If you see ways to improve the skin, please let me know. I learned the hard way that making skins for phpBB is a very time-consuming endeavor, and it's difficult to get everything just right. In particular, it was hard to find a background image that looked good. The colors are almost the same as those in BooBerry, although here they're a little more blue and a little less gray.

What's the nominal prize that the last member to post on these forums will win?

I'm confused too, what is it?...

The last person to post on the phpBB forums gets a legendary Cheateau Romani badge! Other people who post during the final hour will also get a goodie.
