We most likely aren't staying there permanently. We are just having everyone calm down here and we can get back

[ShenmueAddict]

Oh Shutup stefan, you 2 can fuck off wherever you want but it doesent need a topic like "EVERYONE URGENT".

Well i bid you fair well. this topic does not need be a sticky and everyone can stay calm because i just fixed my PC and ill be back on from now on to run the forums.

[JoePesciAddict]

I'm gonna stick with you Pat. You better just stay on this time though, and don't go running off again

[ShenmueAddict]

Dont worry, now that my PC works again ill be on alot.

[Gorek]

I have no idea, I think that Stefans been wanting to use his forums for awhile and this was his excuse.

[RavinRoadie]

it wasnt going to hell, i gave residenshul a warning as he warranted one, and he didn't like it.

I think that Ren has hit the nail on the head.

[22:12:49] JoePesci: Hey
[22:12:50] JoePesci: Do you know what
[22:12:57] <Stefan>The : what
[22:13:47] JoePesci: I think something terribe is happening to UK
[22:14:33] JoePesci: Look
[22:14:33] JoePesci: everyone is arguing
[22:14:47] <Stefan>The : no everyone is complaining
[22:15:00] JoePesci: Spam left and right
[22:15:01] JoePesci: bans
[22:15:01] JoePesci: warnings
[22:15:03] JoePesci: I wish we could just start the forums all over
again with these members
[22:15:26] JoePesci: ?
[22:15:30] <Stefan>The : the only person to have actually spammed is
res and he got warned for it
[22:15:55] <Stefan>The : well we do have the back up forums no could
delete all the posts in it and start over
[22:16:19] JoePesci: Yeah
[22:16:26] <Stefan>The : i could
[22:16:27] JoePesci: I wan't do that
[22:16:32] <Stefan>The : but dunno what pat would say
[22:16:46] JoePesci: Or we could just delete the boards
[22:16:49] <Stefan>The : ok what u just said is confusion
[22:16:50] JoePesci: so the post counts would remain the same
[22:16:53] JoePesci: and recreate tyem
[22:16:57] <Stefan>The : they won't
[22:17:06] JoePesci: lol
[22:17:07] <Stefan>The : the post counts would all go
[22:17:39] <Stefan>The : i know i have deleted my own posts before as
i posted then realised it was spam it get rid of posts
[22:17:46] JoePesci: Yes, if we delete a board on Uk then recreate it
again it will have no posts but the members will have the
same post counts
[22:18:03] JoePesci: Ok, we could switch to the backup forums
[22:18:18] <Stefan>The : yes we could but i think pat would throw a
fit
[22:18:30] JoePesci: But Pat won't like that
[22:18:39] JoePesci: yeah
[22:18:39] JoePesci: exactly
[22:18:54] JoePesci: I think we really should switch to those boards
though
[22:19:16] JoePesci: I have talked to people from the Dojo and they
said that they would rather join those than the ones we are
using
[22:19:23] <Stefan>The : well if we can talk pat into it then fine i
don't mind
[22:19:26] JoePesci: They don't like a lot of the pointless topics
[22:19:42] <Stefan>The : i bet i only make them cus there are so many
now it don't matter
[22:20:37] JoePesci: hmmm
[22:21:04] JoePesci: I hope Pat won't be mad
[22:21:04] JoePesci: But I think we really should
[22:21:11] JoePesci: They have a lot of capabilities too
[22:21:19] <Stefan>The : if you want me to i'll try and delete all the
posts made currently on the other board then we can tell
everyone to go over to them
[22:21:23] <Stefan>The : I know
[22:21:28] JoePesci: But of course we would need to advertise
[22:21:32] <Stefan>The : oh i need to change something
[22:21:34] <Stefan>The : i know
[22:22:07] <Stefan>The : we can keep the old on with just one board
and make it so that people can just click a link in the
them to get to the new ones aswell
[22:22:10] JoePesci: hmm....
[22:22:10] JoePesci: Yes
[22:22:17] JoePesci: I have the perfect thing we could say
[22:22:36] <Stefan>The : whats that
[22:22:47] <Stefan>The : oh i need to ban pilcher lol
[22:22:48] JoePesci: We could say that this is a time that wee need
the backup forums
[22:23:05] <Stefan>The : ansd
[22:23:05] JoePesci: These forums are turning to hell and such
[22:23:58] JoePesci: And we may even have to turn over to these
permanently
[22:24:21] JoePesci: But we need to talk to Pat before we decide
permanent things
[22:24:30] <Stefan>The : yeah we could but i don't think that pat
would like it ( being so damn stubborn )
[22:25:22] JoePesci: i know he has put a lot of har work in to these
boards but it isn't working out
[22:25:30] JoePesci: I wish it would but I don't think it will
[22:25:39] JoePesci: See, even you were talking about leaving
[22:25:43] <Stefan>The : yeah but the other boards are so much easier
to customize
[22:26:05] JoePesci: Yes they are

It was my idea to start the forums over but you brought the backup forums up first. I meant delete every topic on this board and start it basically over. This is ridden with spam and if everyone cares about their post counts so much, they will keep them

[RenSuzuki]

Ok, Stefan, I'm sorry, but can you really deny what I said? You want to move to those forums. I'm not saying thats a bad thing, but the way you (and Joe) went about this wasn't right. Anyways, not much happened in the end, and we're right back where we started.

But it brings up a valid question: Should we stay at these forums? I have expressed before that I am not a big fan of Proboards, and I really like IBP. I also don't think that starting over would hurt, but I wouldn't like to see all the posts on here deleted. These forums could become like "archives". Where they can be viewed but not edited

Anyways, however, I don't think going to those backup forums permanetely is the answer. My main reason is because you are using invisionfree. One reason I hate them is that nice big ad in the middle of your forums. Another is (unless its changed recently) you don't get FTP access, making updating anything either impossible or a pain in the ass (going through the admin cp to change macros, etc.)

Check out a web host like 100webspace who offer ad free hosting for free, with like 100mb. It isn't Invision hosting, but they got all the software on their servers to upload Invision Board or whatever other forum software you want yourself (it aint hard) They give FTP access, making modifications, swapping images, etc. a breeze.

Here are some forums I made on100webspace (Its for a Canadian hockey team and I haven't really advertised the site yet, so theres only 2 members and there hasn't been a post in months, I'm waiting for the end of a hockey lockout) zhost.freeprohost.com/ I installed a nice global annoucnement mod, mass pm mod, ban cookie mod, etc. which is all easy due to FTP acces. Also, I uploaded custom images for each function using FTP, and I made the skin myself (couldn't find one I liked) using the Admin CP.

Anyways, the point of me showing this is that while InvisionFree is fine for bakcup forums, I hope that you think over if this is where you'd like to make permanent forums.

No one is saying that these boards are bad. But it would be better to have the most customability available. That's why I wanted to switch to Phpbb2 boards. Shenmue Dojo is very accomplished with those boards and I think UK would grow a lot faster with that style. I think the only reason we didn't switch to that style board is because we couldn't find anyone that could make them easily

I actually wouldnt mind switching to phpbb as they are so customisable, and would draw lots of good members, but its has 2 flaws!

1. No-one here has a clue about phpbb (big flaw)
2. Pat has put so much hard work into these boards it would be a shame to leave them!

oh i just thought of a third

3. phpbb has a tendency to fuck up, whereas proboards have never once failed us

[JoePesciAddict]

Phpbb rarely fucks up. And, if it does then we can use these as backup boards, lol. Also, I am talking to a guy on aim who is going to make me some phpbb2 forums. I just have to pay him $50

[RavinRoadie]

oh cool! when will get get them done by?

But the Dojo had Bysbi and now they have Whiteshadow, both amazing PHP programmers. Without lots of modifications, PHPBB is kinda crappy. Thats why I like Invision Board, it has lots of features pre-installed and is easy to use. I'm not sure why you'd need to make PHPBB though, don't you just download it, FTP it to the server, set up the database, make an admin and away you go?
