ATTENTION AHSylum! WE HAVE OFFICIALLY MOVED!

altsports.org is our new home! I have transferred all posts and active members to the new site relative to when we got the data from BoardHost. While usernames and associated posts were copied, no emails or passwords were given to us so all user accounts are shells until claimed and reactivated.

Reply, DM or email me with an email address you want on your account (does NOT have to be what you used previously) AND your former AHS username and I will send you a temporary password to log in and claim your account on the new site boards.

> All avatars and signatures were not copied either. New avatars must be no more than 500x500 and 1MB. But your profile and all your posts and threads should be ready to go!

> If you want to change your username, you can send me a request AFTER you have reclaimed your current account. I am happy to accommodate as much as I can for our fresh start.

> Also, if you had no posts at the time of the data export, your user account was NOT transferred and you may simply register as a new user. Any new duplicates of current user accounts will be deleted.

> This board will stay up and empty until November 22nd after which it will be deleted.

Please let me know if you have any questions!
Thanks!

Attention AHS Community

Our forum here was deactivated yesterday after which we discovered that BoardHost has made a transition to a paid-only service. We unfortunately did not receive any of the notices leading up to this change so we were unprepared. They did, however, grant us a 30 day extension on our board service here while we figure out our options. The new base price would be $16 a month to continue to use the forum here or they will delete it within 30 days.

Our options are basically:

- Continue service here on BoardHost and pool our money to help pay for it. (approximately $16 per month/$192 per year)
- Use this 30 days to transition to a new home...
-- to a similar free service such as ProBoards (however we likely would be unable to transfer our data)
-- or transition to a self-hosted forum that would take some initial work to get set up but we may be able to keep our data to some extent and we'd have full control over it for approximately the same price as paying for BoardHost

Moving Forward:

- Keep your new posting on this board to minimum while we figure out our next move.
- We recommend you personally archive your threads just in case. Using the Wayback Machine is one tool for this. At the very least, make sure you have copies of all of your writing stored somewhere else. Most of the images posted on the site are cloud hosted links but if you don't have local copies, make sure you personally download and save them somewhere. To be safe, make sure you do this before October 22nd!
- We're open to suggestions, please DM a mod.
- We do have our Discord group which is a great place to chat and do things together but isn't great for the type of presentations that we do for our fictional leagues. However, definitely join the Discord while we get all of this figured out. DM a mod for the invite link.
