With word having spread a bit farther it seems only right to spread it here for all to see: the new site has entered a sort of alpha testing phase.
A couple notes up front, so you're not thrown too far off when visiting it for the first time:
#1 -As discussed in a few places previously, and with Whut's blessing, the ultimate objective is to rebrand and reboot the community under the GamerSyndicate.com domain. Currently the new site uses a look&feel nearly identical to WDFNews.com but this is only temporary until I get a new theme put together with a graphics designer.
#2 - It's alpha. What this means is that it's not feature-complete, but enough of the basics are there and functional for the site to be usable for forums and messaging.
#3 - I've set up forums there to support the testing phase; places to report bugs, provide suggestions, and (for shits and giggles) a general forum for whatever. Just in case anyone wants to chitchat there.
#4 - Though it's alpha and that usually implies a likelihood of data loss, I'm not planning on any intentional wipes of the user database or forums, though eventual restructuring of the forums might naturally lead to some lost topics once the testing phase forums aren't needed. That said: no promises. One little refactoring has already caused avatars to lost, but hopefully that kind of thing will be the extent of data loss.
So, without further ado: http://www.gamersyndicate.com
