The forum will be turned off while we move over the Jr Idol Club forum from http://forum.scanlover.com to its new home here.
This move will probably happen at some point today.
Chances are posts made in the last 24 hours will be lost in the process, and there are a few other things that could happen, but let's stay optimistic.

The new forum will bring with it new members, and those here who have accounts at both forums will hopefully not notice anything more peculiar than a postcount rise.

Anyway, just a heads up.

Doesn't look like the transition has been made yet. Any updates/ETA until things are completed?

There's an SQL error hurdle. Trying to figure it out.

Also make sure the tables are created with the proper character encoding so that the kanji characters will work. For some reason they didn't seem to work properly at scanlover.

The Jr Idol club move has been in the pipeline for several months and has nothing to do with the events of April 1st on scanlover forum.

As for this thread, you can disregard it. I'll just merge the forum eventually at a time when there is low usercount on the server. For now a skeleton Jr Idol Club has been set up.

In approximately 1 hour.
In most of the world April 1st is over.
Jr Idol Club is staying here though.

Chompy: thanks for taking up the challenge of hosting the Jn Idol Forum from Scanlover. Now I got two good reasons to support you.
Cheers,

Chompy... as with everyone else, mighty appreciative that you've taken over Jr Idols.

Just a couple of questions, you did mention that the user ids will be ported as well, but I can't seem to use it anymore?

Also, I wonder if it would be better to separate the Jr Idol to an independent forum? Just a thought.

Keep up the good work.. thanks!

An independant forum would use up additional processing power on the server, or an entirely new server.
The server is currently underpowered to even run this forum with its increasing activity.
So, as we currently don't have the money to upgrade it, let alone buy another one, it's going to remain as it is.
Besides, the activity in it aren't enough to merit a new forum.

Upgrading the server is our current objective, aside from surviving the bills.
So.. donate?
