Hello and welcome @BigPunkin and @snoopdog!
I hope you can treat new forum with patience. There are many great features that mentioned platforms can’t offer (most important being strong mobile devices support). It feels like second nature, once you are used to it. This forum guide and tips can help you with the transition from old forum platforms. As members of OG1.0 please get your “oldschool badge” by replying in this topic.
There are two topics about past history and OG 2.0. Feel free to follow up on those topics…
Also I don’t believe that servers were physically confiscated. I think only domain names were administratively redirected to RCMP site. It wasn’t stated anywhere that servers in data centers were taken by the police or member’s data compromised. And the fact that no member of OG1.0 was ever prosecuted because of activity in the forum, supports it…
Anyway OG2.0 is full restart from the ground.
