We're in the process of reworking the forums

You may have noticed that several boards have been removed.  don't worry, your posts have not been deleted.  the boards are hidden and can be revived at any time if necessary

Shouldn't Starcraft and Diablo be subforums of Battle.net? And maybe have a Warcraft one there (separate from WoW)?

Just change the WoW forum to Warcraft imo. You can leave it all how it is other than that.

And could you move this (http://forum.valhallalegends.com/index.php?topic=17674.0) to the Battle.net Forum?

EDIT: Do we have moderators for any of the new gaming forums?

On top of forum changes, we are also discussing on what we are doing with vl.com. We are close to a final decision so stay tuned folks :)

From the looks of it there, you wouldn't think so. Haha.

New forum ranks

Dumb. Too many ranks. I like the old ones.
just my opinion on the matter, though

Also, when am I getting my helios back?

I've been doing work on the vL classic theme lately.  i'm really satisfied with it at this point.

We have two themes to choose from: the SMF default (light-toned) and vL classic (dark-toned)

Helios was causing problems the last time we installed it and it had some annoying bugs, so helios won't be offered anymore

Personally, i prefer vL classic over all of them because it's really the old vL signature look

Also, stay tuned for valhallalegends.com (http://www.valhallalegends.com), where we will be getting back to our roots and what made vL attractive in the beginning

I like the updates to the classic theme.  It's looking really sharp; my only complaint is that the "new post" image is sometimes a little tough to distinguish from the gray on the forum index.

It would be nice if we could figure out how to fix the tab order on the classic theme so pressing tab from the post box went to the Post button.

Ah, understood. Just figured nobody was tagged, though I kinda assumed Invert would be in charge.

Nope.  sorry.  the ranks are based on Norse mythology and Norsemen in the Viking Age

Slave: Lowest in the social order
Freedman: Released from slavery
Landowner: Hereditary rights to your land
Warrior: Viking mercenary
Marshall: King's deputy in the field
Hearthman: Privileged to share the king's hearth or quarters.  sworn loyalty to the king
King: Top of the aristocracy
Jomsviking: Legendary company of Viking mercenaries, dedicated to the worship of such deities as Odin and Thor
Einherjar: Old Norse for "lone fighters."  warriors who have died courageously in battle and have been brought to Valhalla by valkyries

The vL history is missing from the website, but Valhalla was historically a great hall (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valhalla) of Asgard, where valorous warriors who had died in battle traveled when commanded by Odin.

So, vL gets some of its background from Norse mythology. ;)

Well it's good to see that the site isn't rotting. Any idea if Yoni, arta, or any other former vL members will start becoming active again?

Okay, do you think they will be "active" again on the forums. Better?

Arta (http://forum.valhallalegends.com/index.php?action=profile;u=27) was last active April 4th.  I spoke with Yoni recently on IM, so even though he's not been by the forum he's still around.

But the only reason Arta was active on April 4 at 3:55 A.M. is because it was 23 minutes after my birthday.
