Boo hoo! No sock puppet-ness! No Goners even! *weeps gently into coffee cup*

Well I was going to check it out, but it seems to be broked. I'll email gossi in case he is unaware.

Oh, he is aware...

He is? Why do you put it like that?

QG sent him an email and his response was a little confusing. What we do know is that apparently the vBulletin being unlicensed has been discovered? maybe?, plus something about him transferring us to a different server and to freeware though that is less clear.

We have told him over and over we will pay for the vBulletin and the server, it's just we don't have anyone at Goners who is anywhere near as experienced with forums as he is. QG offered to host it on her server last time there was a server issue, she even offered to take it over completely and learn as she went, but afaik he never responded to that.

We really like the vBulletin and the rep system the way we've adapted it. Comment boxes and PMs just aren't the same. But we're just a tiny group of friends who know that we're completely on gossi's sufferance, and that once the forum is gone our group could be scattered to 4 or 5 different forums. That would be bad.

Do we know why I'm getting email notifications 20 hours later?

I'll also go through the boards and see new replies in topics, but I haven't gotten the email. They I log in the next day (email account) and there they are from 20 hours ago, after I've read all the topics already.... is it my email? Or is there a board delay we are unaware of?

Well the board is dispatching them as and when it should, so it would seem to indicate your email. That is backed up to some degree by the fact that your email is telling you that it was received 20 hours ago.

okay! Coolio! Now I know, and knowing is half the battle. I got an email notification for this thread, but not for two team topics that I receive email for....stupid gmail. And I thought it was supposed to be good.

Hey! That wasn't funny!

(I hope there wasn't anything seriously wrong with the site! )

Sorry I actually got about 1 hour 52 minutes off this evening and as such completely missed whatever event is it that you failed to speak of.

What happened?

The site disappeared for a while this afternoon...

It was sad.

There were tears...

There would've been poking too 'cept I couldn't get into the site to do it. Didn't gossi drop off the Acme Telepathic Forum Monitoring Device when he passed the board on to you?

By the way, all of gossi's sites were down too (well, all the ones I know about). I thought you moved the board to a different server when you took over?

And gnashing of teeth.

And pulling of hair.

I did indeed move the board to a different server, in a different country in fact. It must have been that linx went down. Everyone in mainland Europe would have been fine. Which would be nice for them if we had any users in mainland Europe.

Hey, I know of one for sure! Though she doesn't come 'round much. Maybe two, if the Canary Islands count as mainland Europe.

Happy Birthday dev!

Happy birthday, again. I already did it once here.

I hope you're feeling better, dev, and that working so late didn't give you a relapse.

Hmmm, some teams are missing. Did you clean house after you broke it, dev?

Only one team is actually gone, at their request, the other forums though are archived at present, they hadn't been used this year so I figured they weren't required. I am eventually going to get round to PMing the team leaders and seeing if they still want them or not.

<grumble grumble grumble>

*kicks dev for no good reason*

Ow?

So you say.

So I ask at least.

*doesn't poke dev, just looks in his direction with a safe, manly nod of greeting/thanks for keeping us flyin'*

So long as the site remains up I don't mind a few bumps like occasional wonky time... that was the site and not just me...right?

...guess that's not much of a poke...

*pinch*

Hey dev, I've caught up the housecleaning bug and I'm thinking of getting rid of some of our older threads in goners team, preferably by you archiving them. Do you need anything more than the urls? I know you're a member but I doubt you remember the password -- do you need that?

I don't need a password and I remember the password.

Just supply the titles of the threads, not the urls and I'll get that sorted for you.

Poke. Will youl be able to revive the 生還者 Shēng Huán Zhě thread from the Fun! forum?

As soon as I actually get round to it.

Thanks Dev.

*poke poke poke*

Hey, in the Gen Ent forum, there's a thread for 11th Hour but the conversation has turned mainly to The Mentalist. I just made a new thread for The Mentalist, could you move all The Mentalist stuff in the 11th Hour thread to The Mentalist thread? Purdy pulease?

Thanks mucho!

.

*random drive-by compliment and thank you for keeping us flyin'*

*move along, please*

Dude! Whatcha gonna do with the front page?

Probably get rid of it. There's no news to post on a regular basis, so no point in having it.

How about the odd bit of fan art?

Psssst....dev, will you please delete the Mentalist thread that I started in my drunken stupor? KTHXBAI. OH! It's in the General Entertainment forum

Done.

Thank you kindly! *huggles*

The new spoiler thing is cool!

Spoiler: And I'm not just saying that to suck up.

Spoiler:

I think I'm going to have to change the name again.

*smacks Dev to stay on-topic*

Spoiler: But yeah, this is Teh Awesome!

*refrains from smacking dev. He's bigger than me.*

Spoiler: This thread is starting to need a "bow-chicka-bow-chicka-wa-wa" soundtrack.
