This forum will be closed soon. We all know the problems here. The plan is to merge this forum into austrianforum.com and archive it. We will have to wait and see if everything will convert (posts, topics, categories). If you have an old account at austrianforum.com please feel free to revive it (all passwords will be reset upon first login). If we successfully move all posts from here to there, there is a member merge function that will allow us to combine your accounts. We really hope this can happen but it will be difficult.
For full disclosure, I am running austrianforum on my own outside of the Mises Institute. I have their approval to migrate these forums (if it is possible). If anyone has any questions you can PM me here or there. I'll monitor this thread as well is anyone needs anything.
It's like I've just been told to pack up my things and evacuate my house...
If I don't make it to the other side, I want you all to know that I love you.
Um. What's the plan, fellow forum members?
Why is it moving?
really?
EDIT: Could the moderator of Austrianforums set up an Active Topics section, rather than individual sections.

"Um. What's the plan, fellow forum members?"
1. Give up
2. Become Socialists
3. ???
4. Profit!
Clayton's recent suggestion to lead a forum exodus seems to be becoming true.
Also, our accounts WILL be transferred over right?
I am going to try my best to get your accounts from here into there, posts and all. For now I suggest getting a new account there. I can then merge the accounts once we can import everything here.
Awful :( despite it's problems, these forums work.
Yes! I just signed up as Ludwig von Mises!
...or slowly.
I'm curious, who's decision was it to close the forum?
I made my account. It seems that we need an admin to verify new accounts.
^
Well damn. There goes my plan of making a SkepticalMetal account and making a thread where I talk about how young I am ><
Just validated.
Just made an account. How soon? Like 1-3 months?
Does anyone want to test the chat feature there?
"The IP.Chat room limit has been reached. You will not be able to join the chat room until some users leave."
Srs?
Sorry Bert. It is a max of 5 users at the moment. I'll expand it. Just wanted to make sure that was a feature everyone really wanted. Pretty quick validation.
Bah I just got kicked from the chat somehow. I think it's from when I refreshed the page.
I've only been here a little under a year so just out of curiosity, what exactly are the problems here? I know there's some technical issues with the forum software but it never bothered me too much. Still my favorite community on the Internet!
Will I continue to be a mod?
To paraphrase Marc Faber: We're all doomed, but that doesn't mean that we can't make money in the process. Rabbi Lapin: "Let's make bricks!" Stephan Kinsella: "Say you and I both want to make a German chocolate cake."
Yes you can be.
Why such a small limit to the chat room?
One question: Do you know if these forums here going to be archived whether or not the merge is successful?
MarcosP, I didn't know if it would be a welcomed feature. It will be expanded.
Indeed they are. Others here can vouch that upon seeing the chatroom I myself deemed them "sexy"
Will I continue to be a mod? Yes you can be.
I am getting a bunch of errors:
You must enter a message larger than 3 characters.
This personal message has not been sent
Plus the validation emails won't send, nor will the resend validation email function.
Jargon, sorry for the trouble. You are in.
Thanks, that worked.
I leave for a few hours and THIS happens?
Lolol JJ is gonna come back and these forums won't be here :P
It's not even 12-12-12 and alread the boy ain't right.
What? This makes a lurker like me a sad panda.

FIxed. Can you test?
Problems fixed. Will the entire site be HTTPS?
Aslong as we can quote..
It is possible to quote on this forum... never mind.
I've archived my big threads... you guys do whatever you want... LOL
Clayton -
Well, from my quick survey, the site sucks. There are too many categories and sub-categories to find what you want. I like it where you can view all the threads at once, like this forum.
