Hi everyone,
I've been working on a few changes to the board software here, and there's a new theme available that I'm still in the process of developing.
If you're interested in trying it out, go to your Profile and change your theme to MaidenWorldNew (you can change back at any time by...
Just a quick hey to all the new guys joining Maiden World (and all the old-timers too :wink: ) as a result of the official BB changes.
Maiden World's been providing a stable forum environment for thousands of users since July 2003, and we hope to be able to continue doing so into the future...
It's just come to my attention that the official Maiden BB is closing down.
Obviously as we here at Maiden World have managed to maintain a stable and friendly forum since July 2003, we're interested to see what effect this will have for Maiden fans on the net.
Needless to say, we have...
Well, Maiden World went for an unscheduled break there because of some impromptu software upgrades.
Thanks to someone using exploits in our (slightly outdated) board software to post messages as Manowar telling us our software needs upgraded.
To that individual, I'd like to point out that...
The front page of Maiden World (here for those of you who never venture outside the forum :wink: ) tends to get a little bit out of date with the latest developments due to me & Steve's increasing workload.
So, simple poll. If you could submit news items about Iron Maiden to go on the front...
Today (Friday) Maiden World will be moved to a new server hosted in the US.
There will be some downtime, as I'll close the boards sometime tomorrow for a few hours to prevent posts getting lost in the transition. So if you see the board closed, don't panic, we're coming back!
Also, I'd...
So for the last couple of weeks I've been receiving viruses mailed from the IP :
host86-132-36-72.range86-132.btcentralplus.com [86.132.36.72]
The mails destined for all kinds of different maiden-world.com addresses, contain fake text customized by an individual to try and target both me &...

The general chat, of course, maintains...
A new year.. A new server.. (almost)
The server move is now complete. If you're reading this message, you're reading it from our brand new server in europe.
The site seems to respond in about half the time it used to, which means you should notice some nice performance differences...
Maiden World was just upgraded (manually, and with a lot of effort) to phpBB 2.0.11.
I would like to ask all forum members to take this opportunity to test all of the features of the board and check that everything is working as it should.
Any errors, urgent or otherwise should be...
Well, looks like Maiden World has survived well so far this year, no major data losses that I can recall.. We crossed the 100k post and 2k user marks, and everything seems to be continuing fine. Not to mention the excellent Maiden World Live which has grown well since its inception 3 months ago...
Ok, Maiden-World will be changing over to the previously mentioned new european server when I'm home this weekend.
I hope to be able to do the changeover on Friday night or during Saturday, so I have the most time possible at home with all the resources available to me to fix problems. I...
Maiden World will be moving servers before 1st January 2005 as part of a package of changes from our web host.
I hope to be able to provide further information when the move is confirmed and more details are known. The new server is in Europe, so those of you connecting from the UK might...

Thanks for all of your ongoing support with the site, especially as Maiden World (the site) approaches its first birthday.
I'm currently working on some new features for Maiden World, and I'm looking to gather together a lot of information about the band for the new areas.
If you've got some time on your hands and would like to help, you can PM me for further information.
A minimal amount of learning will be...
We've tweaked some of the board code and style for various reasons. Feedback is valued, but a lot of them have been done with good reason.
A lot more links point at actual posts instead of things like profiles now, the post count links to a search of all your posts.
The index page has been...
After yesterday's problems the posts table of this board is restored to my last backup.
No users were lost in this restoration though, so noone will need to re-signup.
Sorry about the downtime, restoring the backups took longer than expected.
Thanks
