Planned downtime

You haven't been misbehaving but we are taking to board down tonight to upgrade to php 3.0.

If all goes well tomorrow we will have a slick fancy board with lots of new bells and whistles. If it all goes wrong we will all be newbs with zero post counts. so back up your pm's and find a movie to watch tonight because around 10pm Skullbrain is going off line.

 

Implement that long awaited "ignore" feature

Can't wait for all of the whining if post counts get reset to zero

 

i say let everyone go back to zero post counts anyway

a cleansing of elitist attitude

 

oh maaaannn...

 

Slick & Fancy you say? Well when you say it like that...

 

I believe elitism and post counts are unrelated.

 

i completely agree. but some people think just because they joined a long time ago or have more posts that their words carry more weight. some people who have very few posts have been collecting for decades, but they have families/jobs that prevent them from posting 10 billion times.

imagine a forum with no post counts! seriously, why does a board need them anyway?

 

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo I cant bare being a newb again

 

Pssh, says a guy who joined in 07, and only has 200 something posts, pssh!

 

Living proof is Locomoco....lol

 

I don't have enough good stuff to be elitist about...

 

Boooooooo...!!!

 

bring it on! does this mean the hinted at database will go into effect?

 

how do i back up PMs?

 

- Open PM
- Select All
- Copy
- Paste into MS Word document
- Save

 

damn i was hoping there was something fancy i was missing

i'm so lazy

 

post counts, to me, have always been irrelevant. As long as no important information is lost..I'll be good to go.

 

Oh man, there's too many PMs to back up.

 

If people's post counts are deleted i'd have to read what people type before I form an opinion

 

I once whined to Mister Flynn about my choice of screen names. He said "well you can just create a new account but everyone will call you a Fresh Meat."

If we all get reduced to noobs again, I might just take his advice. Then I can match my Flickr name of locoxoco which is easier to spell and is easily distinguished from locomoto and locomoco.

 

You can always go by "date joined" ....

 

that works too...

 

I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit.

It's the only way to be sure.

 

I hope so. I think a database similar to how discogs.com is set up would be amazing. You can create a profile and add titles to your collection and create a wantlist of titles. People could cross reference. Imagine doing that here? It would be the ultimate checklist.

sounds like you should be pissed at your family not us
