    Hi all, 
     
    I just wanted to let you know of some changes that are going to take place later today (about 12 or so hours from now.)
    Some of you may remember I posted this message before a couple of weeks ago after a previous site crash, but it was removed within a half hour along with any other posts that had been posted in that time frame. Basically, I tried to upgrade the server without updating the site first and it didn't work, so I had to revert it. Let me delve more into that - 
     
    Essentially, LanaBoards's current server isn't stable enough to continue using. We just had another crash Saturday night following #AugustLeakFest due to traffic, and those sort of crashes are going to continue to happen during high traffic times on our current server. Obviously, we can't have that happen especially with COTCC coming up; however, in order to upgrade to a larger server, the forum script software has to be updated. Otherwise, it will not work properly as I discovered a couple of weeks ago.
     
    A few times in the past, I've asked users and set up a poll to see if you all wanted me to update the forum script. Each time, the result was pretty split or with a slight majority in favour of keeping the current forum script that LanaBoards has had since its start in 2012. Now, I have no choice but to update it anyway.
    Later today, in about 12 hours or so, Melly and I will be updating the site and then upgrading the server.
     
     
    Here's pretty much what you need to know:
    - The site will be offline for a few hours while this updating and upgrading occurs. I don't imagine it will take too terribly long (and I sure hope it doesn't), but it could be a few hours. I'll be posting a notice on the site hopefully around an hour or so before it goes offline, but I would highly recommend you all to follow the @/LanaBoards Twitter if you're not already, as I'll be posting updates there while everything is taking place to keep you all up to date on what's happening.
    - Things are going to look a little different. LanaBoards has not changed much aesthetically aside from era theme changes over the past 8 years. This is because the same forum software script has not ever changed, but it's so outdated and now causing some problems. I'm still going to be using the same forum company's template, it's just going to be their newest updated script. So it won't be too drastic of a change, but there may be some minor aesthetic & functionality changes here and there. 
    - The theme will have to change (yay, finally, I know.) Now, the problem is I have no idea what the site layout is going to look like after the update. I have a brief idea of what it may look like, but I cannot start designing a theme until the update is complete so I'll know how to design it to match the new layout of the site. So, for a few days after the update, we may have to have a simple temporary theme until an actual one is completely designed. I'm working with some other talented users to hopefully design themes for both NFR & VBBOTG, and I'm also going to try to redesign the current LFL theme to fit the new layout as well. I may also go back and redesign some of the themes for other eras (if/when I have time) and feature a list of themes where users can decide which one they would like.
    - You really have nothing to worry about! (hopefully, if nothing goes terribly wrong!) All accounts, posts, threads, etc. will remain in tact. Again, the only thing different will be minor aesthetic & functionality changes in the site's layout as I mentioned above. It will pretty much stay the same LanaBoards that you all know and love (& hate sometimes) since we'll still be using the same forum template, but with a sleeker, more updated layout and design.
     
     
    Please let me know if you all have any questions or concerns. I'll post a message to this thread as well as in the Status Updates letting you all know before we go offline, but again I would strongly recommend following our Twitter page for updates while we're offline. 
    Thank you all so much for your support and cooperation in this!
     
    All my love,
    Elle xx

    omg yes, I was starting to think that it was going to sound like a mix of Ultraviolence and NFR for some reason,
    but I really enjoyed the sound of TJF so far, its what I thought white hot forever would sound like back at 2019

    The NFR trailer was such a time to be alive!
     
    I think I want the COCC album trailer more than the actual single ksksks, just so we can see how the aesthetic Is going to look like. everything is so mysterious and its kind of a charm, but the album trailers are always so beautiful and a wonderful extension to the album's world.

    Announcement of something should be coming this week. There’s a slow build-up this time around (which I really like). But I remember the feeling of « finally, the circle is getting complete » when NFR’s cover, trailer, tracklist and preorder were posted (and I was on my last leg of a vacation in Italy: it was so surreal).
