Wijitmaker Posted October 18, 2004 Report Share Posted October 18, 2004 We are scheduling the forum to be down (possibly twice) sometime in the next 1-2 weeks. The goals are:We thank you for your patience and are excited for the presentation of 'new and improved' forums.More details of exact times for this downtime will be posted once we are more certain of when exactly these 2 phases will be initiated.~Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Centurion_13 Posted October 18, 2004 Report Share Posted October 18, 2004 I hope so. but I am going to miss wfg so much during its down time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nawen Posted October 18, 2004 Report Share Posted October 18, 2004 Hmm... Not so bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argalius Posted October 18, 2004 Report Share Posted October 18, 2004 How long will it probably last? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wijitmaker Posted October 18, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2004 Yes, we will hopefully be able to keep all the posts from all the forum. Not sure about the down time... the entire process might take 48 hours, but really we aren't sure (haven't done this before).Some information will be lost such as the mods that Tim made to the forums (currency and reputation). The only things we are able to save are the catagories, forums, topics, posts, users, and private messeges. Everything else will be lost or redone.

Argalius Posted October 18, 2004 Report Share Posted October 18, 2004 So the reputations will be readded, or will it start all at 0 again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeru Posted October 18, 2004 Report Share Posted October 18, 2004 Maybe it's healthy for rep to be reset occasionally.Keep up the good work, everybody working on the forum swap/merger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire Giant Posted October 18, 2004 Report Share Posted October 18, 2004 Hmm, even though it may look slightly strange - I'm not the one to get crazily happy about the merger. It means that there will be even more new posts and topics every day, and I will have to read them all if I use the "View New Posts" feature - and since I acutally sometimes hardly manage to read all the new posts in the 0ad forums on weekdays, I'm not too happy with the new situation. But we'll see how things develop Probably the downtime will make me start to do real work for the game again for a change; the most I've done in the last week was attending the meeting and reading over the GUI code one time, noticing that there are some errors I don't know how to fix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wijitmaker Posted October 18, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2004 Visually, you guys hopefully won't notice any difference than what you see on any of the 3 forums. The only thing that will change will be the url's and the new forum skins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wijitmaker Posted October 22, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2004 The forums will be shutting down in appoximately 12 hours for an undetermined length of time (hopefully less than 48 hours, but no promises) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
