Rivals will begin migrating to the new message boards at 9 p.m. Pacific Time tonight. The process will conclude at around 3 a.m. Pacific. During that period, users will not be able to post on the board, though they will be able to view threads that have already been posted.
We don't anticipate any issues with the transition, but in the event that any of you experience any sort of login/posting issues when the new boards go live tomorrow, please feel free to email me (AndyDrukarev@yahoo.com), and I will do my best to help everyone sort through everything.
