Tonight I've merged the content from torbb.com into Off Topic Hut. TORBB was "The Old Republic Bulletin Board", a fan-site for the upcoming game: Star Wars: The Old Republic. Ki Adi Mundi (the owner and founder) has recently run out of time to manage the community, and put the effort he needs into it, and so I've stepped in to help.

Some of the TORBB members should recognise me, I was an admin there for a while, managing the server and stuff  I've sent all of the TORBB members an email informing them of what's happened, and I hope that the TORBB members will join me in saying a big THANK YOU to Ki for his dedication and passion. Without him I doubt we'd have gotten this far  Thanks, Ki!

I've moved the TORBB content throughout Off Topic Hut, and what didn't fit anywhere else (lots of star wars stuff!) is now in a read-only archive, here: http://offtopichut.c...torbb-archives/ - if you want any topic at all moved to another forum so that it can be continued, please contact me or report the topic and we'll move it for you.

I hope you all will please join me in welcoming the TORBB members to their new home! I hope you guys enjoy it here

Welcome to everyone!

What the... I went to check if Ki left me any messages on TORBB, clicked the bookmarked URL, expecting to be taken to TORBB, when, much to my surprise, I ended up here. What have you done, Mikey?! I... I don't even...




Anyway, I hope people here don't bite. Much.

For those (former) TORBB members who haven't received an E-Mail from Mikey about the merge, here's a copy/paste of it, straight from my inbox:

Hi TORBB Fans,

It's Mikey here, and I'm emailing you to let you know of some significant developments in TORBB's future.

It has been decided that TORBB is to be merged with my own community, Off Topic Hut. I know that some of you are not strangers to your community being merged into another, but I want to stress that Off Topic Hut is not a big bad corporate site trying to swallow up your community. We're the same as TORBB was, we're a community making strides into the future, and I look forward to seeing you come along for the ride.

Ki has decided to take a step back from TORBB, he has been passionate about this site from day one, but that passion is very hard to maintain alongside a real life, job and responsibilities. I'm sure that Ki will still be around on Off Topic Hut, and I'm hoping that you'll join me in thanking him for providing such a great home on the web to many of you.

Your content is intact, and your user accounts still exist. The content from TORBB has been put into the relevant areas on Off Topic Hut, and if any didn't "fit", you'll be able to access it in the TORBB Archives. Nothing will be deleted.

TORBB has an active RolePlaying Sub-Community, and as such I've added a RP'ing section to Off Topic Hut, so that you don't feel alienated.

You can contact me on the forum at any time if you have any issues, want to "Opt Out", or just want to chat. I'll see you at Off Topic Hut: http://offtopichut.com - you should be able to log in with your current password / username.

And so I say for the last time from TORBB, May the TORBB be with you.

Thank you,
Mikey
