Hi everyone, It's official, we are the new home of theatreforum.com. Here's the message from theatreforum moderator Matthew_Winn "There'll be a formal announcement at the start of next week but for the benefit of people following this thread I can confirm that the new forum is going to be the ProBoards one that many of you are already using. It is now safe to have discussions there without worrying that they might be abandoned. Many people seem to be doing just that anyway. We are still in the process of finalising a few things. There will be a proper domain to access the forum in addition to the current subdomain of proboards.com. The design of the forum will be enhanced over the next few days and various other tweaks and twiddles will be happening so don't be surprised if you see things changing. We're now into the "ironing out the wrinkles" phase, and when things are more settled a message will go out across the entire WhatsOnStage forum. We want to get the design right first. Thank you to everyone who has been working behind the scenes to make this happen, all the people who have tested the various options, and especially those who have invested time and money in investigating alternatives and deploying possible solutions for testing. Now let's go to our new home and have a board-warming party they'll hear in New York." As Matthew says, a few things will change over the coming days. The first one is that the url for this forum is now Theatreboard.proboards.comThere will be an automatic redirection from TheatreUK.proboards.com for the next two weeks but please update your bookmarks now.

I got here through the theatreboard.co.uk address. So the redirect works! Question: may I "announce" the move on BWW? or wait for the "official" announcement?

It would be best to wait for the official announcement I think - just in case BWW pick up the story before we'd like them to. There will still be some visual changes to the site over the next few days, thanks to Andy614, and for brand new users without the history that might be disorientating or just feel a bit like we aren't fully up and running. However, I think an announcement there after we announce officially here is a great idea.

Great stuff. We should also tweet (etc) the sh*t out of it when we're ready to go!

As soon as the official announcement is out those of us with blogs and such can start promoting too. :-)

Thank God!

Thanks for all the hard work (and stressful decisions) setting up this great forum! It is very cheering to see old friends popping up and lots of lurkers emerging from the shadows too!

Massive thank you to everyone involved in finding us our new home. Ridiculous but for a bunch of people I've never met, I would have missed you all!

Thanks all - I've made my first postings here. But it feels like I'm cheating on the old forum.

We're not cheating, Foxa, she dumped us, and we're moving on.

Can't wait for others to be fully on board here!!
I've moved up from the ex and look forward to our stagey community to continue and prosper.

We're not cheating, Foxa, she dumped us, and we're moving on. I think of it more as TheaterMania throwing her under a bus.

Has the party started yet? I've brought along a dodgy bottle of red that I think I won in a raffle some time ago.
