Information:

Founded in March of 2007, A World Power was once one of the largest regions in Nationstates, and is currently re-building to its former glory! We as a region hold no specific political ideology, but nations organise themselves into Great Houses of likeminded individuals. The leaders of the three largest Houses form a Triumvirate which is responsible for leading the region. We believe in open elections for all citizens of our region and operate a one of the major defender forces in the game, which protects regions across Nationstates from invasion.

Well thought we should gauge peoples opinions on this idea...

Yep yep yep :)

Loads of advantages, and from an admin point of view it makes things far easier to run. You can add co-admins to cover things like masking/grouping, so Neas could delegate a bit more to ensure things keep moving here.

I voted yes. I'm a member of a zetaboard and it's a lot nicer than Invision.

Yes. We need to start change in the region, and this is one of the first steps.

I assume I am going to have to be the one to transfer everything as Neas has gone inactive?

(Not that him being 'active' would make any difference to that anyway :P)

Neas was on the RMB yesturday. To be honest Invision do most of the work and I've already made a decent enough skin for us to use so I can't imagine its a lot of work, although Sedge might be a better person to ask on the matter.

I think Neas has to be the one to turn the board to conversion mode(or whatever it's called).

Anyways I voted yes.

The root admin (Neas) has to enable the conversion. At the moment they happen pretty much instantly, and the forum would only be down for around 10 minutes. You'd then just need to upload the new skin, and it'd be fine.

There may be occasional small bugs though - on the FRA, a few random threads got merged - though this didn't happen for the GRA or North Pacific.

Also, forums where posting is turned off (so they're only used to hold sub-forums) might have a slight masking problem, but I don't think there are any of those types of forums here.

Really it should be just the skin, and its fine to use.

OK, just thought of a problem... the money script won't work anymore. You'll lose your records of how much everyone has, and the best zetaboards money script around at the moment requires admins to manually change the amount that each person has.

I just found a really good money system (I was looking for the GRA) designed for zetaboards. Its really complicated to install (and I'm going to test it first), but if it works, its far better than the currene one here.

It's not like anybody actually uses the money system we currently have in place anyways.

The man has a point, plus if the conversion is just a matter of clicking a few buttons I say go for it.

We can always record the money of the top 50 posters and anyone else who requests it or something. I don't mind making a record of them in some spare time...

Just a quick question, what are the actual advantages of Zetaboards, can we make more sub-forums below each forum for example?

Yes, an unlimited amount of sub-forums :D

Its a lot slicker, less bugs, especially with skinning and stuff, took me a while to get used to admin CP but once you do its far more efficient and useful

Can you nest them? I mean, a forum in a forum - in a forum? IIRC, that's something you can't do on IF, just one layer in.

I do

(Or i would if there was anything to spend it on....)

Seriously though the AWP economy is a low priority, as for zetaboards, I considered it for my own board but haven't done it yet. Really I dunno, let Neas decide...

no, neas will not decide. When two thirds of the region want something, however much we respect neas, he cannot overturn it, whatever the case.

Hey ya'll... been a lil busy but I'm still alive...

I'm not wildly in favor of changing to zeta... but if people want to get it done thats fine with me. Numero and I would need to arrange a time when we can both be on so we can get things sorted out asap after the switch.

If Numerooo wonders over to the GRA forums he can see that the money mod we got for zetaboards is actually far better than the one currently installed here. Installation isn't that bad either.
