We are moving forums! As you know, the CL Proboards have been pretty outdated for a while, and many people have been having issues with posting their stories on here. Therefore, we have made the decision to move to Forumotion! We will still be open for new forum suggestions on our Discord (or in the threads of the new forums), but Forumotion has shown quite a bit of promise in terms of story posting. As such, we will be closing up the CL Proboards. It has served us well, but it's time for us to move on.
Here's a schedule of the process of closing up the CL Proboards.
Monday, May 31st - Registrations to the CL Proboards will close!
Monday, July 5th - Posting to the CL Proboards will be closed off!

Moving Story Threads
Sadly, there isn't a direct way to move threads from here over to Forumotions. Users will have to transfer their stories over from here to there. Here are a couple of things to do:
Copy the BBCode of Each Chapter and Paste

Moving Story Threads
Sadly, there isn't a direct way to move threads from here over to Forumotions. Users will have to transfer their stories over from here to there. Here are a couple of things to do:
Copy the BBCode of Each Chapter and Paste
Even after replies close, you will still have the ability to edit your posts!
Go to your chapter you want to copy, click BBCode next to preview, click in your post, press Ctrl + A (Cmd + A on Mac), and press Ctrl + C (Cmd + C on Mac) to copy.
Go to the Forumotions, create a new reply (or thread if it's the start of your story), make sure the paper button on the far right of the ribbon is highlighted, then click the text box area and push Ctrl + V (Cmd + V on Mac) to paste! Do that for each story.
Link and Continue
Take the link of your already posted story and cross-post! When you make a new thread on Forumotions, post the link and say "continued from here" and continue writing your story. Make sure to also link the new link on the old forums so people can keep reading from there!
Delete Threads and Repost
Want a fresh start! Feel free to contact a mod or admin to delete your story thread so you can remake your story thread from scratch on the new forums! Proboards doesn't allow you to delete threads if someone else replied in them, so if you delete your own posts, there's a chance your thread will still exist.
