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! :)
what in the hell is hgoing on here? ???
I thought the new forum code would keep beaners out. >:(
Hey, at least this place doesn't crash.... so far...
Everything eventually crashes.
Just....what? Whats going on here? The new forum change happened? I thought it was a standard forum going down time.
At least the new forum is clean.
Looks good to me. :thumps up:
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.

I thought you were a commie ??? ->
you pay, they decide
Yeah thanks for ruining my day. :P
Looks good to moi.
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.
G.
I'm still adjusting. I guess its OK. All that history though... lost! Six years worth. :( There were threads I wanted.
It was fucking sudden, if nothing else. :-\
He sneezed and the server died. :'(

It's still there, you just can't access it.
I like the look of the forum-- just needs a little customizin' :)
Oh and it's fast, too.
It's funny how there's seem to be 2 extence of the SMF forum now.
Once with all our original posts & this one.

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.
My account wasn't there and I did have to register.
G.
I had to re-register too. Its a bummer. But by the sound of it there was no time for a graceful transition.
We all had to re-register.
It's kinda messed up right now.

Fast? Here it's slow as hell.
Yup, very fast for me. Didn't realize how slow the old forum was until now.

Too funneh. :D
We do need the old smilies, but I know you didn't do this on a worknight because you wanted to, vM, so thanks for at least giving us something to limp along with!
This color is nice.
Yes, while I complain a bit I do realize the amount of labor that went into this and do appreciate it.
I approve of this unexpected development.
Good time to clear the air.

Those will be available as a non-interactive archive, IIRC.

One of the new perks of this new board is the active ignore function. I'll finally be able to phase this maggot out :D
And yes vM - we do appreciate your efforts. It was the shock. ;)

Start a Civil War hijack?
Thanks, vM. The new board looks great and is nice and fast. :)
vM is my hero. A deeply flawed hero but there you go.

As soon as things settle down a bit, we definitely need a gaming subforum.

And no board errors. Let's celebrate by all making sockpoppets named --- or variations thereof.
I don't understand why it's fast for you guys & slow as hell for me.
Maybe it's my works internet, I hope it'll be faster at home.
Only good thing so far about the new forum is that it let me use as an avatar the pic of aa's boobs that the old forum wouldn't. Of course, the avatars here are so small it hardly matters.
Seems faster to me. And Im posting from my phone!
Looks ok. Smilies are hideous but I'll live.
I like this. This is the future, ladies and gents. 2009 and beyond.
I approve. :)

That was one of my first concerns.
I think i'll manage to resume my semi-lurking without too many difficulties
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.
