In order to continue our long tradition of being entirely too early for everything, I've decided to go ahead and launch the game-specific forums. These sections will become more proliferous, as new information is released. In the meantime, speculation, conjecture, theory, and supplication are the order of the day.

Enjoy.

Good news folks: you've all been promoted!

In an effort to aid the Watch in her recovery, I've decided to implement some (very) modest incentives to rejoin the fold. From now, until the end of May, anyone who joins 38 Watch will become part of our Founding Members Group. In addition to bearing a sure to be envied distinction as a Watch Vet, you will also gain a few additional benefits to enhance your forum experience:

• The default title "Founding Member"
• The ability to upload custom avatars
• The ability to set a custom user title
  

Hello friends, both old and new.

I’d like to welcome you (back?) to 38 Watch, the Unofficial 38 Studios Fan Forums. Those of you veteran members may notice a few changes, namely the complete lack of any and all previous content. Some of you may be aware of the circumstances surrounding the destruction of the Old Watch, and delving into the ugly details at this point would serve no practical purpose. I will just say that I was burned pretty badly by an unreliable collaborator, and I have learned some valuable lessons in the process.

But enough of my problems, let’s talk about The Watch! You will notice that these forums have been dubbed ‘temporary.’ That is because I am using a temporary software solution, in order to continue to serve the needs of our community, while I prepare (read: procure funding) for our return to the vBulletin platform. I am really excited by some of the blogging and community features offered by vB4 and I think you folks will be impressed by the possibilities for collaboration and expression.

In the meantime, feel free to dive in. I’ve maintained the original forum structure for familiarity’s sake. You can trust that all forum content is being backed-up and archived, in order to safeguard against future cataclysmic events. As always, your feedback is encouraged; this is your community, after all.

I’d like to thank all of you who have voiced your support over the last few weeks! This whole thing has been a frustrating mess, and were it not for the encouragement and support of this community, I probably would have just thrown in the towel. Thanks for reminding me of the importance of our unique community. I’m genuinely excited about our future travels together!

Cheers,
Union.
