Coming Soon: The End and the Beginning

Foreword: This stuff is not going to happen today, nor this week, this month, maybe not even this year. But it's going to happen.

Now then. The software that runs zCh is still current, but it's not going to be for much longer. What's going to happen when the time comes, as you'd expect, is that we'll be upgrading to SMF version 2, which will be at that time the new current version. It's out in beta now, but we won't be upgrading 'till it's out of beta.

What does all this mean? Well, for starters, a number of features and such will be gone, 'till I can make them work again. Also, the current theme will have to be replaced. But that's not all. Oh no.

It's time to re-brand. "Zeta Channel" was originally a name I came up with in thirty seconds to name a project I was working on when, coincidentally, xForums.net went down for good. I horked the name, whipped up this site, and Bob's your uncle. But I've never been terribly satisfied with the name. I want you lot to pick a new one. I also want to hear what you want from the site, in terms of features as well as look & feel. Certain things will be carried over as priority one, not least among them the custom post templates and quick reply on which I worked so hard.

So. What do you want?
