Hey everyone!
There has been some chatter that TF2Maps.net will be getting a new forum software, XenForo. This is true! Next week, August 29th, TF2Maps.net will be experiencing some downtime as Geit and some other staff work on migrating over data and resources to the new forums! This new forum software will improve many of the active features of the website. Which features, you ask?
However, while we make this transition some things will be disabled or not existant. We'll let you know what the missing features are, as they become evident. That is, there are some things we might be able to get done, others we might not. We'll let you know as things pop up. Don't worry, we should be able to carry all your thanks over.
I'll be working with Geit to write up a transition guide on how things will be different on the new system. You'll want to make sure to read it as things will be different. For example, if you create a map, instead of directly going to the map workshop, and making a thread for the map, you'll instead go to the resources tab, upload your map to that and it will automatically create a thread for you! If you ever need to update your map, just update the resource for it, and the thread will automatically make the necessary versioning changes for you. Again, I'll make sure to have a tutorial thing for everyone to use.
We're really excited to do this, as many will agree, our current forums are starting to show its age, just like Hammer. If anyone has any questions, comments or concerns, please leave them here in this thread. You can also PM Geit if you don't want to chat publically.
