    Hey everyone, and welcome back to our forums!

    As you can see, we've moved several things around and made quite a few changes. Thanks for all the patience, and we hope you like the new arrangement of our forums!

    Note that because of the magnitude of this re-arrangement a few things might be a bit out of place; if you notice any problems please do not hesitate to contact a member of staff so we can get it fixed for you.

    Additionally, we are still working through a few changes and moving stuff around. Because of this, AutoPM is temporarily disabled to prevent people's inboxes from being flooded. If you have any questions, we are more than happy to help.

    Below is a full list of changes:

    Community Category

    • The Rules category has a new name!
    • Introductions/Departures have been renamed Chamber of Waking/Chamber of Repose and moved upwards in the Community category.
    • Community News & Projects has been put in place of Forum News
    • [KHV]Podcast, [KHV]Top 5 and [KHV]Fandub sub-forums have been moved to Community News & Projects and received slight name changes.
    • Suggestions has been placed at the top and received the Name Feedback and Assistance.
    • Forum Issues has been moved as a sub-forum of Feedback and Assistance and renamed Site Assistance.


    Kingdom Hearts Category

    • News & Updates has been moved to the Kingdom Hearts Category; updates will still appear on the homepage.
    • Upcoming Kingdom Hearts has been opened for general series discussion and theories, but still retains the upcoming games sub-forums.
    • Kingdom Hearts, Kingdom Hearts II have been moved as sub-forums, to Kingdom Hearts Console Games.
    • Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix+ sub-forum has been removed, and all threads pertaining KHII Final Mix will have the [Final Mix] prefix.
    • Re:Chain of Memories has been moved to Kingdom Hearts Console Games as a link forum. This will direct you to the Chain of Memories sub-forum. From this sub-forum, you may find the [Re:] prefix on threads.

      A prefix is something that goes before a thread to distinguish it, in this case, threads with the [Re:] prefix are threads that talk about Re:CoM.

    • Kingdom Hearts Handheld Games remains as is, except that the Re:CoM sub-forum will direct you to the Normal Chain of Memories sub-forum. However, you can easily use prefixes to search your way around.
    • Subforums in the Kingdom Hearts Extras were removed, and now everything "extra" will be discussed in its main section.
    • Kingdom Hearts Help Remains as is.

    Hacks & Codes Category

    • General Game Chat has been moved. In its stead, we have a new category for codes!
    • Code Vault is still the place to post codes.
    • Other Codes sub-forum has been added for any codes that aren't Kingdom Hearts related.
    • The Coder's Corner has now been renamed New Releases but still serves the same function.
    • Video Showcase takes the place of the Video Warehouse, however, it's only to used for hacking videos.
    • Other Videos sub-forum for non-Kingdom Hearts hack videos (still under construction)

    Interests Category


    • Discussion remains as is.
    • Usual Spot has been dismantled; most of its sub-forum contents have been moved towards either Discussion and Spam Zone or Playground
    • Gaming has now taken the place of the General Game Chat category and placed in Interests. Future prefix plans are being discussed.
    • Technology has taken the place of Tech and Tech support, and moved towards Interests.
    • Movies & Media's Music sub-forum has been made into its own forum in Interests. Movies & Media remain the same otherwise.
    • Literature remains as is.


    Creativity Corner Category

    • The former name for the Creativity Corner is now used as a category to encompass the many user-made arts and creations.
    • Production Studio remains as is, aside from the shortened name.
    • The former Creativity Corner is now called Writer's Nook, no other changes made thus far.
    • The Role-Playing Arena is no longer a part of Fun and Games. Full list of changes here.

    Fun and Games Category

    • The Spam Zone and The Playground have been divided.
    • The Playground will hold all the forum games, while the Spam Zone will still have all the off-topic crazy chats.
    • Forum Families will remain as is for now.

    Again, keep in mind that staff still need to move many things and possibly re-structure some rules and make new guidelines, so please bear with us. It'll take a while, but hopefully things will look great in no time.

    Again, welcome back, and happy posting!

    I have yet to see any drastic changes,
    Only thing I've noticed is that the Spam Zone/Playground was split into 2 separate sections.
    After the list is posted, I'll probably go "Ahhhh" to what I hadn't recognized.

    Because several sections and threads were moved around, it's probably a result of posts that did not previously count getting moved to an area where they do.

    Interesting...

    Well now the sections I care about most are more tightly packed together, so less looking around for stuff. So I guess if the skin changes then so does the layout.

    I think this is an amazing and much needed change. I've always felt like the forum was a bit... chaotic in terms of organization. Now everything is easily accessed and remembered. I guess you could say it's a lot more simple and clean now. AHAHAHA.

    Great job, guys! ヽ(´▽`)ノ

    Wonderful job done c:
    Everything is neat and organized and fits in it's own place. I really love the forums and sub forums now. Especially how the spamzone and The playground are separated. It gets pretty hectic in the Spamzone and the games get trolled down to the next page etc so yeah it's cool now xD Anyway, everything was very well though of and I just want to commend a job well done!! n__n

    I quite like these changes. It makes it easier to navigate the site, in my opinion. Well done to whoever planned them out. Also, if I'm not mistaken, posts count in the Technology section?

    I'm glad to see that the site is back up.

    There's definitely a lot more to check . . . Everything is a little more organized, that's for sure. Well, good job you guys, the site is looking good.

    This really wasn't what I thought you would do at all, lol. These changes really don't do much in my eyes, it doesn't make it easier to navigate or harder. Oh well, at the very least it makes things sorta different, and I've heard a thing about variety and spices.

    Aww, I liked 'The Usual Spot'. xD

    Other than that, I like it. Way more concise.
