We’re launching CGScholar (KX) on January 5—a rebuilt platform for a new era of digital scholarship, bringing Community, Event, and Bookstore into a unified, modern environment built around one idea: knowledge thrives in community. This isn’t an update; it’s a fresh start. To deliver a faster, more coherent Knowledge Experience, we rebuilt CGScholar from the ground up. As a result, some legacy data (posts, comments, and certain profile fields) will not migrate.

Action required by December 10: please manually save/download anything you want to keep—posts and comment threads, uploaded resources, acceptance letters, certificates, presentations, and profile details. There is no automated export from the legacy system.
