Merger with The Assimilation Lab - sandor - 01-12-2014

The Assimilation Lab or TAL has a an excellent reputation in the modding community and was founded by AndalayBay. TAL amongst others specializes in hosting projects.

Announcement.

Forum participation has been declining over the last few years, so AndalayBay and I have decided to merge our communities. Each community has features that complement the other and we feel we can build a stronger community by merging them so we are not competing with each other.

The site will remain under The Assimilation Lab banner. We'll have a section on TAL's home page to reflect the new setup with an article about Silgrad Tower's history and our own blog. Silgrad Tower's tutorials will be merged into TAL's tutorial section. Silgrad Tower will be given its own section on the forums and that will house all of the forum archives for the past projects hosted there, as well as the Silgrad Tower mod. We will be reviewing all of Silgrad Tower's content and either merging it into TAL's forum structure (clearly marked as originating from ST) or maintaining the current structure in the Silgrad Tower section.

Silgrad Tower is a large site, so it will take us some time to convert the data and load it into the database here.

I have added AndalayBay to our administrative staff on ST, for a smooth transition. Please join me in welcoming her to the team.

I'll post more details later on.

To be clear, the private messages won't be migrated since they're confidential, just the forum content.
If you want to download your messages please use the download button at the bottom of your message(s).

After the site moved it's still possible to login and access your PM's.

:alert: The account info will be merged as well, so you don't have to register at The Assimilation Lab after the merge.

Important notes. 160114
  • Per TAL's user policy, should ST ever want to leave or if for some reason TAL shuts down,
    all material would be returned to ST. ST will maintain ownership of all ST's material, including the tutorials.

  • Our storage server ST.net will be integrated into the new setup --> 1 Tb!

  • This site will remain up and running, redirecting to TAL, used for backup, members can access their PM's.

  • The complete forum structure can be accessed by the team only (after the merge).

  • In the final stage the blog will move to TAL as well.

  • AndalayBay is working on a combined logo for Nexus etc.

Dear members,

FYI

Forum participation has been declining over the last few years, so we have decided to merge our communities. Each community has features that complement the other and we feel we can build a stronger community by merging them so we are not competing with each other.
Both sites have the same goal, serving the TES modding community, offering a hosting service, storage space, a gallery and much more.

The complete forum will be moved, except for the Personal messages (PM) these will not be transferred (remain at silgradmodding.org).


Please check our forum thread for more info.

The account info will be merged as well, so you don't have to register at The Assimilation Lab (TAL) after the merge.

The ST forum can't be accessed at TAL because we're in the process of transferring the forum content. :Checkmark:


Announcement - sandor - 04-04-2014

With regret we have to announce that the merger with TAL has been cancelled due too many conversion/integration issues, we wish them the best of luck for the future.
