RE: Great - The new forum
The owner of the previous forum, phpbbforfree, is... well, an immaturechild. The guy doesn't understand that even though he wasoffering the service for free, he still had a commitment to keep itup. On top of it, when people called him on it (via the downtimesupport forum on his site), he basically said deal with it because itwas for a greater good. I'm all for upgrades, and I won't promisethere won't be any here, but I can promise it won't be down for a weekunless it is 100% out of my control (ie: lightning takes out thebuilding, flood, ISP goes down).Unfortunatly, EDK (phpbb owner) has a policy do to give people thier databases thus making it difficult to leave . Such is not the case here, everything is owned by Gromet and myself, sowe can move it anywhere we want if needed or export the data to anotherforum if we had to.I guess what I am trying to say is, get comfortable, this site will be here for a long time.

RE: Great - The new forum
There may be some movement by the various moderators, but if there's athread you want to preserve, it'd be best to start it upyourself. We'd just be doing a copy & paste, just like youwould.
RE: Great - The new forum
Well, I have to say, this new forum looks very nice. A wise decision to move. A big thankyou to GaggedUtopia for taking this on.I do hope that it is a big success.Tiedash....
RE: Great - The new forum
Tis the first time I've come on the forum as previously either the server or my computer didn't want to play nicely. Things were constantly crashing so I had to give it up. But from being on other forums this one is nice and clean looking and easy to operate. Glad we got away from the immature child, I've had my fill of those sort of people on and off the net.Galinda (The Not So Good)Galinda38638.4599189815

Hopefully, we will experience no down time on this forum. Whilethe previous forum was good, and the updates were to be expected, itdid get annoying. But i'm sure this new forum will work out justfine.
RE: Great - The new forum
All seems good. Thanks GaggedUtopia!

many thanks and congratulations to you! you have stepped in and done all of us a great and wonderful service here!
i remember looking for the "backup the forum" button at the old forum during my rare spare minutes, but it was disabled when i found it *sigh*
thinking of which, have you looked into a backup for this new lovely home? i hope you never need to use it, but having one helps to aid peace of mind

[quote="feline"]have you looked into a backup for this new lovely home? ihope you never need to use it, but having one helps to aid peace ofmind [/quote]I physically own the server that this forum (and my site) runson. I do nightly backups and if for whatever reason if the forumneeded to move to another location, I could easily export the data andrebuild it somewhere else. That was one of the main reasons forscrapping a good forum and moving, so starting over wouldn't ever haveto happen again.

RE: Great - The new forum
Thanks for a more reliable site then
I did find the agreement I had to accept to sign up a little strange. Apparently I'm not allowed to post anything vulgar or sexual...

Oh dear. I will admit that I didn't read it. I guess we'll all have to keep our posts clean...

It is something that came with the site so I never noticed (as I never "signed up" per se).I will check it out tonight and have it fixed soon. Good eye!

I fixed the agreement last night. The default text and forum settings are made for kiddies.
