A few months ago we launched the revamped K2 website at getk2.org which integrated a new Community forum, located at https://getk2.org/community.
We decided to move to an "all Joomla!" solution for more flexibility and better integration with the new features launched for the K2 site, like the ability to submit extensions or templates for the new K2 Extensions Directory. This new K2 Community has grown tremendously these few months and it's continuing to grow day by day.
So it's now time to shut down the OLD K2 community site at community.getk2.org, which was hosted on the (proprietary & restrictive) Ning platform. We plan to take down the OLD K2 community located at community.getk2.org on March 30th 2012.

If you want to migrate your member profile page from the old K2 community to the new K2 Community, all you need to do is visit this page https://getk2.org/register-or-sign-in and choose to login using your old community credentials. So click on the button that says "K2 Community" (located bottom - right) and use your login credentials from the old community to login. Once you do that, your account from the old community will instantly be MIGRATED to the NEW K2 Community.
If you don't do this by the end of March 2012, you will simply need to re-register for an account in the new K2 Community site at https://getk2.org/community.
Last (but not least)... the new K2 newsletter!
This is the last email being broadcast from the old K2 community forum. From now on if you want to stay updated with new K2 releases and news, we kindly ask that you subscribe to our newsletter at:
https://tinyletter.com/getk2.
We promise to only send out emails when a new version comes out or when we have very important news to share with you.
Thanks for being with us so far!
Update Mar 28th, 2012: We've kept backup of the old community and we plan to import it as a read-only board in the new K2 Community forum. This won't come tomorrow, but hopefully within April 2012 we'll have it up.
