Title: Thanks, vM!
Post by: Syt on March 10, 2009, 02:55:00 AM
Yes, we complain, and moan and whine, but we do so because we care. Well, at least I do.  :P

Things will surely sort themselves out after a while. Thanks for setting up the new forum!  :)

Next time you decide to change things vM - put a demo somewhere so we can actually see it before we crashland into this...  desolation.  Many of us are, after all, *paying* members. 

I hate the new look >:(

He...did.

But I think he didn't have a choice this time, the db didn't want to comeback.

Still, while the gays are drama queening it up, it should be said that I'll have my powers back in a day or two, and then I'll get things set up, although things like smilies will have to fall to vm, as I don't have server access.

Things improve when you change the theme applying to the forum's layout.

Less anemic - more board like.

Try losing the s of forum in the address bar & make the forum # 11.

Altho, I was mistaking, there's only 1 thread.

Here's vM post on that other board

QuoteWell, my hand was forced.  The SCSI drive on the old server appears to be near death, if not there already.  I had this SMF forum set up from what of the Languish database I could convert.  Its as good a starting point as any.

I still have the data from the drive, I just can't get the drive to stay up for more than 10-15 minutes.  If anyone is really in love with the old board I can clone the data back onto a spare IDE drive I have kicking around somewhere.

BTW, everyone's account is still usable; no need to re-register

I think, it's fair to assume that nothing is currently WAD & we're in some kind of weird zone.
Title: Re: Thanks, vM!
Post by: Grallon on March 10, 2009, 10:07:38 AM
My account wasn't there and I did have to register.

I had to re-register too.  Its a bummer.  But by the sound of it there was no time for a graceful transition.
Title: Re: Thanks, vM!

We all had to re-register.

It's kinda messed up right now.

I don't like the nickname changing. You people are evil. Except Wags he changes nics often enought that it's not a big deal.

Oh and yes I do appreciate the fact That we even have a place. but this is Languish still so whining is crucial.
