What?! Yes, Mayhem Studios is moving to an InvisionFree site.
I know some of you may hate me for this, but I promise to make the transition as smooth as possible.
Features of InvisionFree:
Another plus to moving is that we get to have a massive activity check! Those who move, I know are active. Those who don't -- well, they're obviously not interested in being a part of Mayhem's community anymore, or they haven't logged in in months xD And it will also help the designers to see which people are active and still want their requests to be filled. (Because, unfortunately, we've had quite a few requesters go MIA.)
How is the move going to work?
So, honestly, all you need to worry about is joining the IF version of Mayhem Studios, and voila! It's just like Proboards. Except prettier. And more convenient xD
Please leave any questions/concerns here on this thread.

I know some of you may hate me for this, but I promise to make the transition as smooth as possible.
Features of InvisionFree:
- doHTML. Need I say more? Yup, that means that you can use HTML in your posts! HTML tables, codes, etc., will all show up in the thread! This makes for a more customizable posting experience.
- Thread descriptions. Proboards has board descriptions, but not individual thread descriptions. This will make it much easier to see which applications have been accepted/denied, who has claimed which request, etc.
- More aesthetically pleasing (at least in my opinion.) You can control board styles, use codes/javascripts to enhance the forum, and more. And a big plus for the admin is that the CSS is so much easier to use. (But you don't have to worry about that part ;P)
- "My Assistant" is an awesome feature on InvisionFree. If you click it, a box will pop up and show you all the new posts on the threads that you've subscribed to (or bookmarked.)
- Message tracker! If you sent a PM to someone and check the "track message" box, you'll be able to see if the recipient has read it yet. For example, if you have a problem with the forum, and PM the admin, you'll be able to see if they've read it (which probably means that they're working on the issue.)
- InvisionFree has every single feature that Proboards has, and has its own features in addition the the PB ones. Just remember that they might have a different name. For example, "My Controls" is kind of like going to your profile and modifiying it. But it also has your inbox, and personal settings.
- And so many more! I can't even begin to list them all.
Another plus to moving is that we get to have a massive activity check! Those who move, I know are active. Those who don't -- well, they're obviously not interested in being a part of Mayhem's community anymore, or they haven't logged in in months xD And it will also help the designers to see which people are active and still want their requests to be filled. (Because, unfortunately, we've had quite a few requesters go MIA.)
How is the move going to work?
- Staff members and I are in the process of moving requests over to the IF site. So I'm going to go ahead and lock the requests board; otherwise we'll just keep getting requests and we'll never be finished moving! D: As soon as the new site is open, requests will open back up again, also.
- Once everything is in order, I will give you the link to the new site. No need to delete your account on here - just make sure to join the IF version. Ya might want to bring your avatar and signature with you ;]
- When everybody is settled in, I'll be locking this whole forum, and anybody who comes here will be redirected to our IF site.
So, honestly, all you need to worry about is joining the IF version of Mayhem Studios, and voila! It's just like Proboards. Except prettier. And more convenient xD
