I have sent this message to everyone but just in case you don't know how to check your mail..................
I have been looking into moving the forum to another host that has more features for what we need or have needed in the past from user request. YUKU has not had these or does but they are not as featured as many of the members here have wanted so I have been looking into getting gtpworld transferred over. It is going to be a paid host so it is going to need some help from all of its members in the future. I have sent a message to eGTX03 who has designed these before to see what he says is the best route to take on this but I have not heard back from him yet so we will see what he recommends for us to do. There are some downsides to doing this which could be things like loosing post count, who posted what thread, and a couple other things but nothing I don't think we can get over as a group. The reason for loosing these things will be because YUKU even tho they do not own this site is pretty much refusing to give me all of the forum backup info. If they did give me all of the backup info it would allow for this forum to be transferred completely with everything we currently have and then it would be converted to the new host's style and embedded. But like I said YUKU is not allowing it right now so it looks like it might be a case of me and some others needing to "COPY" & "PASTE" all threads and replies. This can be very time consuming and it will not have who posted what unless we add their name to it or something along that line. I am looking for all of your opinions on this matter and I am sure it will not make a difference to some of you but I would still like to hear what you have to say about it.

evidently Joe used to
own a GTP and then design the site for it according to them so that is sweet and thus probably why we have some of the best looking buttons on the net.
