Why not keep things how they are?
- Our current cost vs. value with Ning (our site provider) is going downhill.
- Ning as a site provider hasn't brought us any new features in well over a year
- A new setup will allow us full customization of the site which we currently don't have
Will things look drastically different from what I'm used to?
- Think of Writer's Realm, but enhanced and updated.
- The page customization is strikingly similar to what we currently have!
- Coded themes will be in the works to help get people started on this new system.
- Blogs and forums look slicker and work better than they currently do
Will I be automatically logged in?
- Members will have to re-join with a new account once the change has been made.
- Our current rules about account numbers still apply
Do I really have to save everything manually?
- Sadly, yes. This is due to Ning’s legal claim over the modules they’ve created (such as the blog section, comment boxes, forums, etc.)
- If we could have transferred data, we absolutely would!
- Don't worry- Even when we transfer to the new site format, the 'old' site will be available for two months to snag any content you want to keep.

Is there a estimated date for when the new site will be live?
Appreciate all your hard work, it truly is paying off and it shows <3 I love the new site so much as a tested user and glad you are doing this and making things better for everyone. When my Jack Ryan account gets approved over there I will be subscribing to, I def want to help you out and the others running the site and making all this magic happen!
- Thank you! Natashia aka writer of Dorian Blackheart, Peter Bishop & soon Jack Ryan.
