Letter to the Community

First of all we would like to apologize for any inconvenience we have caused with badaforums.net being down the past 2 days. We were not expecting our shared server to lock the account like it did without any warning but apparently they did and we were left hanging. The reason was due to a spike in traffic that our previous server could not handle. Anyways, we are now on our very own server and will never have to switch again. We would like to thank our whole community for the support you have given us during our absence. It is great to know we have such a great community of Bada users.

Since we have moved to our own server, our community will enjoy faster and smoother browsing and upload times. We will be able to add more features without worrying about bandwidth so expect to see many new things on this site! You will also see increased stability in the site which is also a good thing. However, since the move to a new server has been tough, there could be some permission bugs that we have not caught. If anyone finds a bug or has trouble with anything, please contact us on the Site Bugs forum or contact us via the contact page.

Thank you again for the support! We hope you enjoy the faster badaforums.net

Sincerely,

Kenny & Dane

Badaforums Phone Accessory Store NOW OPEN!!

As you know, we have been tweeting all week talking about how Badaforums is expanding. Well, over the next few weeks we will be looking to add some cool new features to this site to keep making it your one stop community for everything Bada related!

Today, we are proud to announce the 1st phase in that expansion but opening the Badaforums Phone Accessory store. The store is powered by Amazon so it is safe, secure, and 100% legit! Right now we have a few things for your Bada phones like cases, SD cards, chargers, and more. We hope to keep adding stuff in the future.

This is also a good way for members to give back to BadaForums as we do get a percentage of the sale. If your already planning on buying an accessory and you see it in our store you might as well buy it from our site this way you get your product and also help support the forums. You can also purchase the wave itself from the store as well. It is a win-win for the both of us!

Thank you to all of our users from the Badaforums staff for your continued support and for making this such a great new community! We are doing everything we can to make this place all it can be!
