Finally, after a lot of work, I am happy to reopen these boards again to both you fellow GP32X and Pyra / Pandora Users!
What's new here on the boards?
The former gp32x.de, the temporary OpenHandheld boards (which we created when GP32X had a downtime of a few weeks) and the Pandora / Pyra boards have been merged into one.
Additionally, the OpenHandheld File Archives have been included as well (Resources).
Together, we now have over 1 Million posts here! An awesome archive!
Let gp32x.dee back to life here!
The Other Consoles Area
Most of GP32X has been given it's own forum section ("Other Consoles" in the menu bar), except for the development stuff.
The Other Consoles-Discussions from the Pandora boards have been moved to the new "Other Consoles" section as well.
The Development Area
The Development stuff from both GP32X and the Pandora Boards have been merged into the Development Section.
Using Prefixes, you can easily filter system specific posts (just click on one of the Prefixes or use the "Thread Options" at the bottom of the page).
When creating new threads, you can also use the Prefix to specify if your thread is limited to a single system or a general thread.
The Resources
As mentioned, the full classic File Archive has been included in the Resource-Section.
You can also use it to upload new stuff for those systems.
You can also upload Pandora or Pyra stuff which do not go onto the repo (i.e. documents, etc.)
I'll add the Pandora files (Case data, Gerber files, etc.) to those resources soon.
The Pyra Wiki
The Pyra Wiki has been created and can now be populated by you all!
There's a bridge between the forum and the wiki, so you can simply use your forum login for the Wiki as well.
Right now, it's a bare MediaWiki without any addons - but simply let me know what you need and I'll install it if it makes sense.
You can find the Wiki in the Pyra Area of the main menu bar.
Some more clean-up
Thanks to the prefixes, I could merge some more forum sections. No need for Hard-/Software or Sales-Support, it's now a single forum where you can use a prefix to classify your support question.
Same goes for Software Releases: The developer can easily choose whether his release is a Beta version, a Release version or an Update.
What's good with these new boards?
What's missing?
What should I do first?
Well, log into the boards.
Having trouble to login?
The old forums had two different usernames: One for login and one that was shown with your posts. If one doesn't work, try the other one. If it still doesn't work, try getting a new password via eMail.
If all else fails, drop me a mail at evildragon@openpandora.org
When logged in, go to preferences to change your preferred Privacy Settings, choose your favourite forum theme and check whether your Avatar, Signature and any other settings are okay.
If you find any issues or have suggestions, let me know at the "Site Feedback" forum.
And now.... I wish you more relaxing holidays and hope you'll enjoy the new boards and all resources here!

What's good with these new boards?
- They're a LOT faster. They even work fine again on the Pandora, thanks to the missing WYSIWYG editor. We got a rich text editor, but if you like, you can even use a full plain BBCode editor.
- Tons of great addons available, a lot more flexible than IPB4. Missing something? Let me know, I'll check whether it's possible!
- Awesome support from the creators. They also listen to requests from the community.
- All old links are being redirected to the new site, so search engine results will still work!
- All Facebook, Twitter and Google+-Share links are only activated once you click on them. So NO privacy issues here, those sites will not know that you're surfing here until you click the button!
What's missing?
- Importing wasn't easy - while I managed to get everything imported, I'm sure there are some posts which have some wrong quoting tags... I found at least 6 different ways how Invision Power Boards created quotes... it was horrible.
So yes, there are some wrong posts, but I think it's only a couple of hundred (out of over a million!) and they're perfectly readable. - The search function is missing some useful things (search posts BEFORE date, for example), but improving the search feature is on the todo list of the developers.
- XenForo only supports polls with ONE question. Therefore, all polls with multiple questions have been truncated to one.
What should I do first?
Well, log into the boards.
