Merge/Improvement
I'd like to welcome the Sirius Forum (and Reality/Alpha/Supreme) members to Sinisterly. We were in the process of procuring the forum, but ran into issues. @"Sirius" had given us the database (corrupt) and pulled out of the transaction early (scam?). We recovered the database (with help) and asked @"Pirate" if he'd like us to merge it. @"Pirate" stated he would and with our many shared members, we felt it was our duty to give the forum a place to live on in. I hope that the many mutual/new members like the merge and we will do our best to ensure everyone is happy. We'll be offering compensation for those of you who've made a mark on the forum.
To recap, last night:
- We improved how passwords are stored, so your information is safer.
- With @"Pirate"'s grace, we merged Sirius Forum in record-breaking time.
[ Compensation? ]
If you've made 5 posts on Sinisterly, send me a private message. We're reviewing accounts on a case-by-case basis for compensation. You'll likely be given either NSP or upgrades. Unfortunately we're not able to refund you for any transactions made prior to the merge. We're also giving out free name changes to members that have been merged or adversely affected.
[ Missing Posts? Multiple Accounts? ]
If your name was taken, you might have issues. If you were registered on Sinisterly or one of the sites that's joined us before, you might also have issues. If you have multiple accounts or can't log in with your original name, it's possible your account had _mybb_import_uid appended to the name. If you need help finding your account, email me (unverified@hotmail.com). Alternatively, you may click the "Contact Us" button at the bottom, or send me a private message.
You can also go here to get your username/password:

[ Can't Log In? Help? ]
If you're unable to log in or have issues, please contact me via email (unverified@hotmail.com). It is checked very often and you should receive a reply within 24 hours. Alternatively, you may click the "Contact Us" button at the bottom, or make a new account and PM.
Have a great day!
If you have any questions or concerns, message me or post below.
Important Note: Sirius was negligent when it came to security and maintaining the privacy of members. We're suggesting members change their passwords, if they haven't already.

Hell yeah! Here's to many many more posts, and a warm welcome to the members of Sirius Forums/Reality/Alpha/Supreme!

It's such a shame that Sirius would do something as low as this and eventually making an attempt to scam. It'd have been really great to have him here without him losing anything. Once again, welcome everyone from RealityBB, Sirius Forum and Supreme Forums. I'm sure you all will like it here.

Huge welcome to the new members, now let's get pissed.
RE: Merge/Improvement - OversouL - 05-02-2016
I'm glad this happened. Although it's such a shame for Sirius to scam. Also I'm curious how you managed to recover a corrupt database?
Also sirius forums is back to Sirius hands?

At least this gives members of Sirius Forum a chance to unite with an established community here. Good move.
Welcome to our newest members. I'm sure It won't be too long before you can call this place your new home.

Absolutely so.
Seldom do you find a community that Is willing to take the somewhat arduous task (and risk) of merging. Members of Sirius forum should be grateful (which I'm sure they are) that they're given the opportunity of a second chance of establishment.
