[color=#000000:post_uid0]Heck, I've not even mentioned the likes of The Squid, Things Are Good or Merlin Missy.[/color:post_uid0]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Them too. Gone for a very, very long time. :([/color:post_uid0]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]but you got new people, like me![/color:post_uid0]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Merlin Missy's still around -- I read her LiveJournal. Don't know about Squid or TAG, though.[/color:post_uid0]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]They got lost in all the Topic Title like posts. I'm halfway there to joining them. :p[/color:post_uid0]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]MM has an LJ? Wow - I've never felt compelled to go and look for one before. :p

Thinking waay back to when I first joined there was the likes of SimonBob, MPQ and Velvet Gecko. Crikey, it has been a long time...[/color:post_uid0]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Yeah Cele, at one point i thought you were a goner too. But you're still hanging on, :D

It's nice to have new people, but it would be nice if the older ones stuck around too. :( Its hard for me to Imagin that there was a time when i almost stoped posting. :o[/color:post_uid0]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Hard to believe too that there was a time when catalina [i:post_uid0]hadn't[/i:post_uid0] started posting. :p[/color:post_uid0]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]I actually did stop posting at one point. Or well, I'm actually not sure I posted before that, but I did register.[/color:post_uid0]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Just think how boreing and empty your life must have been. :p[/color:post_uid0]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Oh shut up will you. :eyeroll:

;)[/color:post_uid0]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]^_^ I check the forums a couple times a day. Don't read the topic title stuff though.[/color:post_uid0]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]yeah I still remember a day when there was no one posting because there were no forums!

*hears crickets chirping* what? Am I the only one?! ;)

Actually I don't remember any of the people you are talking about because I used to just check the news section daily or check the homepage...I didn't really look in the forums, even though I was registered. Then the forums changed and I didn't know I had to re-register and looks like this is happening again![/color:post_uid0]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Well at least now you do know you have to reregister.

Now let's see if I can get to 5000 posts before the end of the forums. :p[/color:post_uid0]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]I like this board system a lot, although more emoticons would be great!


And please please please save one-by-one, answer-question, top-ten, this-or-that and person above you threads! Please? :cry:[/color:post_uid0]

[color=#000F22:post_uid0]Seems the common thread seems to be:

avatars
some thread archiving
emoticons

I'd like to see some good evil smilies, myself.[/color:post_uid0]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]My memory could be playing with me here, as it's been well over a year now, but at the previous forum, wasn't Celeste the undisputed leader in posts?[/color:post_uid0]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Not undisputed, Sax actualy passed her at one point. I think i still have a copy of the BaW fiver they wrote for the occasion somewhere.[/color:post_uid0]

Now, since you're both clearly delusional, might I recommend some... Dried Frog Pills? :D[/color:post_uid0]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Wow, it's hard to believe that I actually registered [i:post_uid0]before[/i:post_uid0] Cat [b:post_uid0]and[/b:post_uid0] 17...imagine, that WHOLE TIME I could have been posting, and didn't. What was i thinking![/color:post_uid0]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]What about me? I have a high post count too. Actually, to have a high post count like cat, you would have to take more time out of your day to be online.[/color:post_uid0]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Aye, Sax passed me, but I regained the title a short time later. We celebrated the event with a BaW fiver. Though those were lost when the forums crashed a while back. :\[/color:post_uid0]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]*shoots PHJ with inch-long iron nails*

Are you recommending a frog to take Dried Frog Pills? Lord, PHJ, you're even more sadistic than I originally thought.

*continues shooting the nails into PHJ*[/color:post_uid0]

[color=#000F22:post_uid0]I would say it's more encouraging cannibalism than sadism.[/color:post_uid0]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]*Thwaps PHJ very hard*

Or maybe i'll just sit back and let the master take careof it. :D[/color:post_uid0]

Why does this board have a cap on the number of smileys we can put in each post? WHY?[/color:post_uid1]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Just a guess here.. but. .maybe cause it'd get annoying? :P ::Shrug:: hehe[/color:post_uid0]

Yup, pretty sure :lol:[/color:post_uid0]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]No, when I [i:post_uid0]first[/i:post_uid0] registered. ;)

I registered before that, you see. Before the Big Crash, but I'm not sure if I posted even once. :eyeroll:[/color:post_uid0]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]OOOooooooooooooooh...i see :D

In that case...I have no clue :D :lol:[/color:post_uid0]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]You're damned right.

*skewers Pointy to the wall by means of a rusty turnstile pike through the chest*[/color:post_uid0]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Draknek! Good to see you. The Andromeda fivers still exist and I haven't forgotten them. One day soon, you will be Arzosah's hero.

A couple of points:

phpBB appears to have an ikonBoard database conversion utility. If it's what it's cracked up to be, we'll be able to keep the member and post data. I'll have to check with Charles, though -- a simple forum conversion might not fix the security gap. If it turns out we can't keep the data, I'll save the news threads and FBC, but I do [b:post_uid0]not[/b:post_uid0] intend to save anything in Miscellaneous. Anything you care about in there you'll have to save yourselves. I'll let you know as soon as I find out if the converter works.

Also, for the record, I did indeed notice Opium's new avatar. Touché. I'll change her title eventually, but for now I'll let her keep this minor victory.[/color:post_uid0]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Somebody please save the Top10 thread! Scooter, any chance of a version 2 of that pdf file?[/color:post_uid0]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]I do not have my fingers tightly crossed. I do, however, have them tightly gripped on this sharp pointy stick I'm pointing in the general direction of phpBB. [i:post_uid0][b:post_uid0]Now play nice![/b:post_uid0][/i:post_uid0]

Kidding, only kidding... I think. :laugh:[/color:post_uid0]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Sorry to get back on topic, but I thought of another positive point that I like about the format of this board.

I like the 100 x 100 avvy size. I know you did a poll and found people liked it, so it would be a shame to lose it on the new boards system.

:lol: Carry on :D[/color:post_uid0]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Well, it's one less sharp object she has pointed in my direction, which is always good.

Um, by the way, I think I might have slightly ruined the wallpaper. There seems to be blood all over it now. Can't think where [i:post_uid0]that[/i:post_uid0] came from....[/color:post_uid0]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Absolutely. I also think it would be great if the new forum keeps the 100x100 avatar size.[/color:post_uid0]
