Greetings all,

As you all have noticed over the past year or so, the forum has been having a lot of bugs. (and not the kind we like) Unfortunately, the forum software is well over 12 years old and well out of date. This is causing the forum to not work as smoothly as it should. From people not getting registration emails, to security warnings, and even members getting their accounts hacked by spam bots. With all the new interest in the Alien universe and the forum in its current shape, we decided it is in a bad need of an upgrade.

The plan is to have a new forum, which is compliant with the https:// requirements for servers these days, which has many of the new features and better file hosting and better experience. Most likely it will remain a phpbb forum, but that could change depending on features we want to use. We will still have the costume/ prop sections, PX sections, and regional club subforums. We might even be able to add more clubs under the Aliens Legacy umbrella.

So what does this mean for this forum? Well right now, nothing. This forum will stay active until the new one is up and running. Once the new forum is up, this forum will be archived. We have decided not to shut it down, simply because there is too much information on Alien related costumes and props here. The forum will still be accessible in an archive form, much like the current archives section here. The PX will remain open for posts until all run of items are settled, then it will be moved over to the new forum. There will be a link to the forum on the new forum, so if you have some old thread you want to access, you will be able to.

I would like to also recognize Pug50 and Matroon, both who this forum owes a great deal of gratitude to. The forum was originally programed by Pug50 and hosted by Matroon for many years, without asking for compensation. Thank you again gentlemen for you contributions to the Alien fandom and Aliens Legacy.

If you have any questions or suggestions, please reach out.

Mike

Awww yiss!
I really hope this is going to revive this forum! Whenever I go online, this is one of the first places I visit. The Facebook groups are nice, but only for news and showoff threads, it's annoying if you want to find a tidbit of info someone posted there. This forum is the base of Aliens knowledge for me.
Unfortunately, the forum has been almost dead for quite a while, possibly because registration has been problematic for a whil. I hope the new forum will change that.
Cheers!
Roman

The California 31'st Monarchs have just finished celebrating our 10th anniversary by hosting our very first event booth at Wonder Con 2025 in Anaheim. I had my laptop set up to demonstrate the layout of this forum to new potential recruits. Two in particular completed the first step of the registration process on Sunday, but both had encountered the email confirmation snag. Do you have any solutions for this problem. Our group has a great chance at hosting a booth at San Diego Comic Con in July. That is a VERY large event, and can present much opportunity for breathing new life into this forum, as well as expanding our group here in California.
