Hi, I'm thinking about changing URLS for my forum, I might, maybe not.

If this is in the wrong section, can a moderator please move it? Thanks.

But how would I change URLS without my members trying to come back, and not being able to re-locate my forum, as the previous URL will no longer be valid?  Is there a way? I feel prewarning them would not do much.

Thank You.

If you are not going to be useing the forum anymore put it in Maintenance Mode -  you can put a notice there with the new url.. then walk away

Or tell them to join your new forum and Put it in Maintanice mode saying:

Dear User's of [ your forum name ] ,
I am telling you that we have moved to [URL of place moving too].
Thanks for your Contrubution.
