Guild Launch News
WowStead Transfer
Recently (two hours ago-ish?), WowStead made the announcement that they are going to be closing up their guild hosting services; we are going to be migrating those sites to our system over the next few weeks.
Every WowStead user should have gotten the following email:
We’re here to announce some big changes coming to WowStead in the near future. After careful consideration, we have decided to close down the WowStead guild hosting service and integrate with Guild Launch. We have spent a long time considering options that would give our members the best hosting experience possible and feel that transferring our service to Guild Launch is the best solution.
Guild Launch has been around since 2006 and has a well established presence in the guild hosting space. Both Guild Launch and WowStead will be working with users to make sure this transition will be as smooth as possible.The official transition date will be 2 weeks from today – August 12th, 2013.
Over the next couple weeks we encourage you to begin making the transition to Guild Launch and setting up your sites. If you are a paying member of WowStead, Guild Launch will be honoring your credits on WowStead with the appropriate premium service levels in their system.
Please choose from the following list of your active WowStead site(s) to begin transferring each to Guild Launch.
(SITE INFORMATION)
We know that you will have several questions throughout this transition and we will be here to help you get the answers you need. Please click here for a comprehensive list of FAQs on the integration.
Thank you so much for your support of WowStead. We are honored to have hosted your guild, and confident that you will enjoy awesome service with Guild Launch going forward.
For more information please visit: http://www.guildlaunch.com/wowstead-transfer
If you have any other questions or concerns feel free to contact WowStead or Guild Launch."
Also, please be aware that after the 26th we will be pointing the WoWStead.com domainat Guild Launch and forwarding to your sites on the WoWLaunch domain.
This will not affect any current Guild Launch users, but I wanted to post this up here so that WowStead users know it's legit. :D
So, welcome to our new friends!

Ooooh .. I've just had the email due to having an old WoWstead account (that they locked me out of, but refused to delete), and just posted elsewhere:

Well I tried to help on the WowStead forums, but they've banned me (again). *sigh*
They even deleted my post .. why would they care that I mentioned a rival hosting site now, when they're transferring their sites over to it?! I didn't even link direct.
I'm soooooo glad you guys aren't like that!

Blimey .. not only a superhero at Guildlaunch, but at WowStead too? I'm impressed!
Will I be unbanned on their site too, then?

Yep yep.
It looks like it's been added back and you should be unbanned now.

Same thing here too.
I just created a site for transfer from Wowstead. Is there anything special i need to do to get the data ( eg. forums) transferred, or is it just a matter of patience and it will eventually be done automatically?

From what they've said on the wowstead site, Guildlaunch will be transferring your data on the 12th August. I'm assuming your site will be locked at that point so you will still be able to view it, but not add anything else to it.

Yep, automatically. We will get a backup of the data from Curse on that day. Then on the 12th we will start importing it. It may take a little while, but once it is available the forums, and anything else we can bring along, will be available and we will notify everyone.
After creating your site via the email you got from Curse, the only thing you need to do is get people registered and begin using your new Guild Launch site.

Automatically on the 12th? 'Cause I did use the button on the page, and it is not yet migrated. I will continue to wait. :P

I'm curious ... someone on the wowstead site mentioned that he'd not received his email for one of his sites - I suggested he check out your Transfer Info page:
http://www.guildlaunch.com/wowstead-transfer/
and noticed it has a button to "create site for transition" ... if someone did that rather than via their email, would you be able to link it with their respective wowstead account?
I did mention to the person I replied to that I wasn't sure if that would work, and to double check with you guys ... ?
Again ... feel free to tell me to butt out, I don't want to cause more problems than I solve
