It's been quite a while since oldunreal had an overhaul, but we are moving to another server which require some updates and changes. The biggest change is the migration of our old reliable YaBB forum to phpBB. This system expects you to login with your username and old password known from YaBB.
If you experience any problems there is also the usual "password forgotten" function. Don't forget to clear your browser cache!

Since some forum update there is a time limit to edit posts. While it is sometimes annoying it does limit certain abuse and dishonesty, so I actually like it. In the past many people made posts that they then edited to cover-up after themselves and stir drama, etc. I dunno the exact reason this was implemented, all I know is that it prevents such things from happening.

Or, like some people left the forums and deleted every of their old post and replaced it with blank or some crap.

This means whatever you do, past certain amount of time you will not be anymore able to edit your own posts.
