Title: Forum Move - Not Belgium...
Post by: w3bz on 09 July, 2009, 11:53:15 AM
Hey All,

We're planning on transferring you all over to a new forum tomorrow. More than one reason behind the scenes, but ultimately it's because this one has more facilities, stats and general shenanigans (hopefully cutting down the spam to boot). I'll give you all the heads up tomorrow when this starts if everything goes well. There'll be some downtime as we shift all the data across and spend some time getting rid of inactive members and compile the search function.

Cheers,

w3bz

Who gets to decide which members stay, and which go, eh? Answer me that, Mr Stalin!

Cheers

Psst... how about ditching a few loonies in the process?

No, not me.

They're not inactive ... they're resting.

Not Belgium? Hmmm.

How are we all getting there? Wherever there is.

Are we flying in the Nerve Centre?

Is there a film?

Will I need an Intergalactic visa?

Do I need to get jabs?

There's an awful lot of information you haven't given us you know.

And what's with these "inactive" board members? Are they being cryogenically stored until a cure can be found for their thrill power overload? Jettisonning them from the board is rather extreme as a weight saving measure, surely the Mighty One's executive bathroom could lose a couple of tons worth of arabesque bidets in their stead.

The are lots of people who registered with the old 2000AD Online but never posted on the message board. Personally I'd just delete all usernames which have zero posts and were created before last summer.

Virtually.

QuoteAre we flying in the Nerve Centre?

Is that even possible?

QuoteIs there a film?

There could be, but it would be beyond "short" for a film.

QuoteWill I need an Intergalactic visa?

No, but you're likely to spend a lot of time in Quarantine

QuoteDo I need to get jabs?

You do yes.

Well sure...but I haven't used the jettison button in a while and I'm getting twitchy.

QuotePersonally I'd just delete all usernames which have zero posts and were created before last summer.

Yeah that's one part, but also want to remove usernames without removing posts from old users too (not to be confused with age).

Perv.

Oh sure yeah, I just can't afford to get it taxed after the recent Co2 changes...

We may have to walk.
