Hello,

There are some new exciting updates for the forums. @videogamesm12 has ported the Night Sky theme from ProBoards over to the forums (in an attempt to get the legendary Wilee to register and post here). There might still be some minor issues with the theme, so if you encounter any, let Video know.

Secondly, we now support registering with Google, GitHub, and Apple for an easier registration process. If these providers are abused (because of course they will be, it's TF), I can always disable them and nuke the accounts. Unfortunately, Discord is just a bit too lenient with their registration to allow it on the TF forums.

Thanks

Hi everyone,

I just wanted to post a reminder. Over the years, there’s always been a dominant messaging platform. Before Discord, many considered Skype the standard. With the recent Discord news, it’s important to remember that the forums have always been, and continue to be, the central place for TF community members to gather. While the forums are quieter these days with the shift toward Discord, they remain an essential fallback if needed. Unlike Discord, the forums are self hosted by me, and are not owned by a (soon to be) public company. Should Discord’s situation change, the forums will still be here.

This isn’t meant to say “Discord is bad” or debate which Discord alternative is best. It’s simply a reminder that the forums are a stable, long term option. They're also the only forums currently online and accepting new registrations. The old ProBoards forum was restored after a major loss, but has been considered largely broken. The WoltLab forum at totalfreedom.me is now permanently in a read only state, with no ability to post or register.

Please take a moment to make sure you have a forum account you can access. It’s far easier to maintain an existing account than to create a new one later, especially if identity verification ever becomes necessary. I recommend double checking that your account is active, your password is up to date, and that you can successfully log in.

Thanks

Hello,

The built in wiki system within XenForo is now removed. It was never used and the general interest in a wiki for TF:R is very low. Note that the existing wiki for the original TotalFreedom (at https://totalfreedom.wiki) is still up and is not going anywhere. This only applies to the wiki within XenForo for the TF:R server.

Thanks

To celebrate TF's birthday, on Sunday, November 10, 2024 12:00 PM CST, the server will be online! We will be hosting an event on TF. The event is not set in stone, but we are considering a "grief the TF worlds" event. Regardless, the server as it was on shutdown will be online starting on the date above (wherever your timezone is). The server will be up for a few days ONLY, so be sure you join. See you next week!

Do note that we will still be enforcing any indefinite bans from TF and TF:R. The banlist has been reconciled and any expired bans that were due to expire after the server's closure in June have been removed. If your ban was indefinite or set to expire after November 10th, it will remain.

Hello everyone,

Just letting you know the upgrade to XenForo 2.3 is complete. We are still working on ironing out a few small issues. I am aware that link colors are hard to see. Unfortunately, I have no idea how to upgrade the themes without all of the settings resetting. I believe I have restored all of the settings, but if there is anything missing, let me know. Currently, only the TotalFreedom Light and Dark themes are working. The Modern Light and Dark themes (and the forks such as Glass and AmoLyicx) are still being worked on and will be available at a future date.

Thanks
