BAM there it is.

k it's there.

well, when the board first launched we had a kind of more topical discussion/general chat babbling/IBish layout but scrapped it because we weren't planning on having a huge member base right off the bat. but since the ASMB tanked, and we have this kinda influx of people who are used to certain things, I think I'll maybe set up something. I was gonna watch Walking Dead though. might do it quick before I do that.

i have to take a break so ima go watch mah shows. walking DEEEEEAAAAD bitchez. DEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD. tonight I will return to work on the volunteer tutorials and whatever else is required.

GED OVER IT

THOSE FUCKERS NEED TO GET THEIR SHIT TOGETHER back then whenever all that happened.

eh. it's only surprise buttsex if people aren't expecting it to happen. and I think people would be expecting it. from you.

I'm sure somebody knows they're there. I was curious so I jumped over to the mod board. Pers is actually on it right now. talking with him a bit. But they're talking about it on the mod board, so Drew at least knows about it.

that could be a new volunteer role "board rapist".

hmmm... yes yes. hmmm.. uh huh uh huh...... acceptable.

it was a white guy. eating a watermelon. but even if content weren't an issue, we needed to get into a space where we would actually be able to have the data too. That was actually even probably the larger point. Well - I suppose the notion of having your forum randomly deleted over some dumb post is a pretty big issue. But - just in general - being able to make sure the data survives and can travel if needed was actually the larger issue I think.

YOU LOSE! - OH NO *THREAD EXPLODES*

wow intro AND outro. fancy.

So, just as the move came in phases, the post-move period will be a series of phases. We're in the middle of post-move hysteria phase, which should pass fairly quickly (if it's not already over). next phase will be about: 1. stabilizing the server (which I'm fairly confident we will do, possibly very soon, but absolutely by the end of this month or thereabouts). 2. tying up some of the loose ends, plugging the holes and exterminating the bugs. I will be trying my hardest to do what I can (which isn't as much as I wish I could do), and Viper and KN will fix stuff as they are able. So not sure how fast that process will be. But we got a list of the stuff that needs fixin, I'm pretty sure all of it is doable. So we'll get there eventually. 3. setting up the volunteer ranks and tutorials so we can get some of that going before we begin to seek to expand the audience of the board. so during this next phase we will require: 1. patience children. we'll get there. 2. continue to let us know about stuff you think we need to fix or add. 3. if you want to volunteer as a general helper, event/contest organizer, green ghost/techy person, news seeker or eventual recruiter, board stat organizer/tutorial maker/archiver, or some combination of those things, PM me. We're not really looking for Mods atm, because the moderation is pretty simple here, with relatively few rules, and I don't want to go heavy on the moderating just now. If we need it, I'll open it up. But for now we got enough mods I think. I already have few ongoing dialogues going with users about volunteer ranks, I will continue those discussions and hook up some of you as soon as I can get some sort of rudimentary tutorial/help thread up for the volunteer roles (which should be sometime tonight or tomorrow?) I was gonna do that sooner, but other stuff popped up. so - that's where things are and what we're up to for this next phase of unevenedge stuffs.

I didn't anticipate there would be this much issue w/the server and the load times. we're trying to figure it out.

there's server issues. when you log in, you can set how long you want the session to last or check the "keep me on" box and blank out the time and just stay on til you log out.

hopefully this stuff is a bit better, we'll try to get it fully addressed as soon as possible.

before we begin generally advertising (besides word of mouth from current users I mean and the links already out there), we will have the server revved up to hopefully be able to handle it.

That's KNism.

nope. was very very clear in numerous threads what the move was and how it was gonna go down. nobody's posting on the other board. hopefully people will come along. If they don't, they don't. we pretty much had to move though. the longer we stayed on the Proboard, the more data we would lose. As posted in many threads over there, but will repeat it: 1. Proboards monitors your board content and sends wildly random threats that they will shut down your forum unless you delete a certain post (based on a bizarrely random aesthetic that I still haven't quite figured out). 2. Proboards won't allow data porting from Proboards. So, the more we post, the more we lose. The longer we waited, the more data we'd have to leave behind. 3. Along those same lines, the sooner we got this place up, the more of the board's content would be completely ours to do with as we please, including fully migrating to other software should the need arise. We're not allowed to migrate the Proboards posts, they won't allow it. This board data we can do whatever we want with. So if we ever, for some reason, do this again, the next time we actually will be able to physically migrate/port over SNs, threads, posts, ranks, etc. 4. the Proboards forum is fully linked. Nobody can post there, but all (including guests) should be able to view it. Users can even still log into it to look at their old PMs and such.

no it is not a coincidence.

yes that is pretty awesome.

That PM I sent you, I sent before I read this. but still let me know if you need more from me. but thanks for all this. I'M SURE THE FORUM MEMBERS ALL APPRECIATE IT QUITE A LOT. right forum members?

uh - just put cheese and crackers in the microwave for like a minute and you got nachos i'm pretty sure that's how nachos are made.

I think I got everybody up til now.
