    Some info on transition

    A word on the transition. Just talked to the person in charge of this world and got this update: The old Rivals board is operational now but soon this will be the only way to access HOB. Right now the problem is that if you don’t have a HOB account, you cant post on the free boards on this...

    GYERO
