I must admit this is confusing, and I'd assumed this would be done away with after the beta and why I asked about posting in this one instead of the other, but never said he couldn't. It isn't my place to tell someone where they can post.
Any other script I've been involved in has a beta section on their regular forum that gets turned off after the beta is done. No need for a new or secondary forum account, it's a simple group or permission change. Now the original forum is being shut down in favor of this secondary one? Keeping both forums? Shutting off the older one instead of importing threads/posts?
Very odd.
