Do you think Toady will make it in 4-5 AM?

[Death Dragon]

I'll miss this forum.
But I'm ready for the new one.

[Bullion]

it's like losing a limb, i'll miss this old forum i will.

*kisses the forums*

[Armok]

Were are ge going to go?  

Please everyone try to be on the chatroom as much as possible to discus the move.
Also it would be very good if Toady himself logged in to tell us the progress from time to time, could you do that while it does some slow automated server thing?

Using the chartroom is not perfect, but it is SOMETHING.

No!  !!Forum!!  We hardly knew ye!

Toady, from what I understand you can backup the forum threads? Back them up right now, and get rid of every spammer blocking device this forum has. We shall go down in a DF fashon: A blaze of glory!

>:O

I'm so rebellious, posting on last day.

One of the reasons we're moving is that I can't back them up.  The convertor works over on the server, so it'll translate the forum directly.  Whatever is here when I close the board will be what is transferred, and this forum will be retained for the bug links and your PMs and so on.  It would be best not to wreck it.

Whaaaaaat? Can't back it up? Sure you can, just copy off your flatfiles (I forget the name, it's been forever since I used it).

Except that the issue is that the converter works off the files that are currently on the server. That would just complicate matters. I do assume, of course, that Toady is smart enough to make a backup before he starts converting. Just in case something goes wrong... I'd hate to lose all the awesomeness on this forum.

We aren't actually posting. This is just an illusion. I'm not even able to respond to your post; you're just imagining I am.

I can't wait for the upgrade to begin. Hopefully once the first step is complete, the rest of them won't take away from Toady's game development/eating/sleeping time too much.
