Thanks again for lending a hand Destructo, it's really been nice to have some support in trying to get this taken care of.
I'm going to repeat what's been said to an extent on this thread, but this really was forced into being a "build from scratch" job. About the only thing that could be scrapped from the old LP was the threads, members, topics and so forth. Just doing the transfer of data sets took days to complete.
Also, because the site will be keeping live while small changes occur, you might notice some funny things. Like right now, the banner at the top of the page is currently cut off. I'm figuring out how the settings need to be with this custom forum skin and the only way for me to do that is through testing.
If for ANY reason the site is going to go down, I promise to make a post here and my goal is for this to only occur during 12AM-7AM on any day if necessary.
