The question is pretty self-explanatory but this could help lead to a revival if done correctly. I have been in talks with one of the admins of the Pokefriends forum about merging as a subforum but don't worry, we will have our own whole section and others within it so you will not see too many changes. As for the environment, don't worry as the name of the forum implies its friendly and those of you who do register and join there will not see any of the hostilities that have been apparent on other forums in the past. I will be in charge of the section and ajnrules too if he decides to make the move as well. The results of this poll will help determine whether or not this will be in the future so please vote since in this situation your voice counts.

Currently it's 1 to 0 and I haven't voted yet.
If I vote Yes, then this Forum will become a sub-forum and we'll make all the changes.
If I vote No, then it's a tie and we stay here.
The worst thing is, I can't make my mind up.

Think of it this way, moving to a subforum would lead to a revival and I already mentioned this to the other staff members on the forum (I am already a moderator there for a tech support section) and they said that it can be done if some people will come there as a result. Plus this forum has some serious problems in terms of inactive staff members which means if there is any growth then there could be problems which can't be dealt with. It looks like at this point its either do or die I don't like that its come down to this but desperate times call for desperate measures.

I just hope we're not gonna end up like pokeshippers77.proboards did.

The forum is saved, here is the new home for the Waterflower World. pokefriendsforum.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=64It will require registering of course but I know that this community is friendly, I have been involved with them since day 1 quite literally. Not only that many other members of this forum are also fans of Misty so there should be new people posting as well. Don't be shy about getting to know the new people who show up from here, they are your fellow fandom members. Also there will be a new set of rules but it will not be hard to adapt since they are similar to what we have here right now. |

Even though we got technically moved somehwere else I'll still continue to use this as the primary forum. Pokefriends is just not exacly the same... man I wish waterlil would come back and do something about activity here. We're turning into a ghost forum.

I will be delinking this one from the website very soon so you might as well make the switch because its going to be even MORE dead. Everyone else who was active has migrated and posted already.

Can you allow me to back up everything on this site before you delink it? I want to preserve everything.
EDIT: Also, exactly how do I back up PMs? I'm asking because I went to the page that should allow me to back up PM files, and despite it saying that I should click on the bottom of the page that says back up PM files, there is no such button on the page.

I have no control over the Proboards features plus the forum software is very limited in its features. Backing up private messages is impossible to do as well unfortunately.

Ok, can you please submit a copy of everything on Waterflower World over by Email? I'm asking because my attempt at backing everything up for memories sake is slowing my computer down.
My email address is here Otness_e@Mindspring.com.
I'm sorry for this, I would have backed it up myself, but trying to do it is resulting in a very slow computer.

Woah woah woah hold it. From what you've told us on many occasions you actually have no real admin powers, right? So how do you plan on shutting this forum down if you can't even perform simple mod tasks? |

Delinking from the website is effectively shutting this one down because the only one which could be located is the new forum.

Well, as I said, can you at least copy the stuff and submit them to the users before you delink the site? I'm asking because I need the memories of every detail of this site, and I can't do it myself because the last attempt at doing so backfired horribly.
