    [size=7]H[/size]APPY BIRTHDAY NF!

    'tis a monumental day in NF history. 2 years ago, I created this site. It started out small, with members like Nintendo_Golfer, Marioparty1, Jake34, Samthewise7 and other people being the only posters. NF remained small until I added Nintendollars. At the time, we were the only Nintendo IF forum to have the money system. This attracted alot of members to the site. I had a contest where, for every person you invited to NF, you got $3(or something around there... $3 was alot for the time). Even more people came, and the site gradually got better.

    NF kept growing from that point on. We went through many different changes. Some of the skins we had were +Silver Tech and Bluebble, and our current skin, Gexion. Many different staff members have come and gone and they will not be forgotten. Without them, and all the other people who posted on the forum, it would not be where it is today. Thanks to all of you, we are the largest Nintendo Invisionfree forum.

    And now I'd like to show you a glimpse of the future of NF. None of this is 100% official yet. We may change our minds in the future. Anyway, here ya go:

    Yup, that's right. NF is going to vBulliten. And with an amazing new look. Not much more will be said about it, I think the pic can speak for itself. ;) Oh, and the new site will have a built in store, Pianta. :P

    And another addition to NF is a system called "Tickets". These tickets will be given out for good posts. For every good post(this will be at the discretion of me or another staff member) you will recieve 1 ticket. You can use tickets much like Nintendollars. As of now, you can't buy anything special with it, but that will change. I'll create a new thread in the Bulliten Board with more info soon(transfer thread can be found here: http://n-forums.com/index.php?showtopic=12231).

    Discuss!

    Good Work Matt! (and the rest of the staff)

    Happy 2nd :o Birthday NF! If the site gets that big of an upgrade, it ought to be in the bag for the forum to be around a lot longer.

    I'm not exactly sure on everything, though. We would need a data trasnfer meaning if we're screwed, we may not be able to get it transferred back. I wonder if VB allows it.

    Don't worry, you won't have to start from 0 posts or anything like that. I'll take care of that.

    We're not sure about a full data transfer yet, though.

    Honorable Mention! Thanks Matt! :D

    As for the VB thing, I was scared but upon seeing how you can set up the portal to look official i'm not scared at all. If Zane could help you it'd be great. However, i'm not sure you'll need it :P

    Idealist Moment:

    Is it possible to create to NF one with no replies for the present and then when ready to switch to VB we transfer the one with no replies and if it fails we still have NF(other).

    Happy Birthday NF. This site is older than human beings... That's weird to think about...

    Anyways, I hope we can transfer all of the data to VBulliten if we decide to go there, that looks much better than NF does right now. I don't want everyone to have the same Joined Date or post count starting at zero....
