Topians and Mainlanders (aka guys from the main Factpile site.)
I have talked with Admin and here is what he said to me. Due to hosting issues and lack of funds Factpile will be shut down for a short period of time and Factpilers who go to Fact will be sent here. He is make a copy of the entire fp site - comments, pics, matches, etc. Once he have that done, he will point factpile.com DNS servers to factpiletopia.com.
All links, traffic and anything else will hit the home page of topia. He states that factpile.com will live again at some point in the future, fully restored with all the comments and everything as it was before. Nothing will be transferred over to topia from factpile.
Admin gave us Mods permission to set up a debate corner. Once I figure out how to create a whole new section for you mainlanders to continue debating. Good news for you guy can write up your debates and post them that moment. Remember the Mods maintain order in this forum so no trolling or harassment. Other than that feel free to do as you wish.
I should tell you that once the debate section is operational you may debate any match even ones that were already fought but want to fight it again and see how you'll do. Also you'll quickly found out you have more typing operations in Topia than you do on the Mainsite so enjoy yourself.
Now if you have to make an account I should warn you that Factpiletopia has anti spam measures. Once you have three comments approved by a mod and have your name in the Factpiler's group than you're good to go and can post without mod approval. Now if you don't want to wait to for us to find out you're a person not a spam bot. PM either me or Hitman and we're set you up. Easy way to do this is to go into the introduce yourself section and make a post about yourself. Doesn't have to be much just something to let the Mods know your human.
To the topians it appears your lives will not change but I respectfully ask you fine folks to give the Mainlanders love and respect until the Mainsite is restored to it's glory.
Welcome to Factpiletopia and we Topians welcome you as our kin. Our community is whole again and as I type this I am working on building a new section for this forum just for debating. Factpile Debating will carry on until the main site is restored.
