Yes, there were a few other problems, but I'd rather not get into all of that here. The most important problem was that I needed to be able to transfer complete control over to you and Alexandre, and I couldn't do that here. That's the main reason we have to move the forum.

Hey guys,
The labs at my school are closed this weekend because of hurricane Frances, so I guess I've got a little time to explain all this.
I was hoping that I would be able to help get this site started and then, if I didn't have time to be administrator anymore, I would make someone else the administrator. Well, after my first week of school, I decided this was the case, but when I tried to make someone else administrator and delete my own administrative account, it didn't work. It seemed like it should have worked, but when I clicked on the button to delete my account, it wouldn't let me. I couldn't take administrative privileges away from myself, and worse, I could only give some, not all of those privileges to someone else. I contacted ProBoards support and had a discussion with them about this matter. I found out that not only could I not completely transfer admin privileges, but that they would not help me transfer data from the old board to the new one we would have to create, even though both boards would be on the same (proboards 30) server. I guess this is understandable considering that they run a free service, so they don't owe us anything.
This really sucks, but there's not much else I can do about it. I wish that ProBoards would have let me know somehow when I registered this forum that I wouldn't be able to transfer admin privileges. In my admin area here, it doesn't just look like it would be possible to transfer admin privileges, it looks like it would be easy. But then when you actually try to do that, it doesn't work.

Hi everyone,
I have some bad news to report. Due to technical problems I've had in transferring administrative privileges over to those who originally started this group, the site will have to be moved to a new URL. Everything about the site will be pretty much the same as it is here so it should be a fairly easy transition. One of the worst parts will be that everyone will have to register again, but you can use your same username, and even copy and paste your profile information if you want.
The current board will continue to remain open for viewing, so that everyone can look at and read old posts, but at the end of next week, it will be closed for posting, and there will be a link to the new address on the front page so that posting can continue at the new location. I wish I could transfer threads from the old site to the new one, but ProBoards says there's no way that this can be done other than copying and pasting individual posts.
I'm really sorry for the inconvenience this will cause a lot of you. When I first signed up for the ProBoards service, and when I invited the AM online preparation group to move here, I was under the impression (due to features that seemed to be available in my admin area on the forum) that it was possible to transfer administrative privileges to other people. I recently found out that this was only partially true. Since it seems that I will no longer be able to give this forum the time and attention that is necessary to be its administrator, I must transfer administrative privileges, and unfortunately that means moving the forum without the ability to transfer all of its contents at once.
Thanks everyone, especially Jeroen and Alexandre for helping to make this site a success, and I hope that it will continue to be successful at its new location.

hey guys! Sorry for my delays, I got caught by a huge swift of bronchitis and pretty much was incapcitated for two weeks.
I really don't know why we can't just stay here? If we left the forum a little more open and just had a few of us debate over excercise2 and then start the new e xcercise, in the same board, it wouldn't be bad I don't think? Well I know of copyright issues etc, and it seems to slow us down a lot..
I know changing boards wil lbe a bad a idea, but if you can find a simpler board or make a new one, or even have furry transmit her control over to you, hey! that would be great.
I really don't know what else to say guys. I'm with you 100% if you need anything. Ill keep posting updates in here of my progress etc too.
Good luck, please keep it together, these rough times is just evolution in motion

Yeah, I second the notion to stay here. If at all possible.
Mooncalf, that's a perfect example of what we could work on. Something to that effect. My crit to you would be to keep the mallet's momentum forward, and not have it reverse instantly upon contact with the sphere. Try having it slow down a bit or something. It just stopping dead on and bouncing back looks a little strange..
