- Sabyne Somanov - 10-20-2012 Hi! Sorry if I shouldn't be replying to this. But I have a question. And I'm sorry ahead of time if I skipped over something that provides the answer. I'm guessing that our profile information will be saved.... And if not then it'd be great if we could know so we could save our stuff. However, what about threads? Will recently started threads be lost, locked away in the archives, or will they be saved within the new forum? I'm asking this because I just joined about... *Checks Time* Twenty minutes ago. And if none of this will be saved, then I think it'd be worth it to wait to join a Pack. Haha! >.< - Cassandra Asylum - 10-20-2012 Quote:The current/old board will be restored on a different server and preserved as an archive. You will NOT lose any data. - Aeron Ganesa - 10-20-2012 So Dumb question Everything will be saved but those of us who have multi characters will have to join with A then wait to get second then wait to get third ... Ect.. or just re join with all? - Elody Lykoi - 10-20-2012 Will the leaders likely save the game points and stuff? As for old topics....Will they be gone? :o as I suppose we will have to make new accounts on the new one What must we establish concerning backing things up? And the wiki--- Will the posts on there (links to posts) not work at all? EDIT: wait...you are able to adjust the post counts? I'm a derp and need to focus on reading.... - Cassandra Asylum - 10-20-2012 Quote:So Dumb question Everything will be saved but those of us who have multi characters will have to join with A then wait to get second then wait to get third ... Ect.. or just re join with all? All current members/characters will just need to most on the new board's Maintenance Thread to be retitled/reinstated with their characters. You will not need to re-request characters you already have. Quote:Will the leaders likely save the game points and stuff? They probably should, but it will be up to individual leaders to do so. Quote:As for old topics....Will they be gone? The current/old board will be restored on a different server and preserved as an archive. You will NOT lose any data. The old topics will not be on the new board, but they will not be gone. Quote: And the wiki---Will the posts on there (links to posts) not work at all? Correct. Links to old forum threads from any place, the wiki or otherwise, will not work. They will need to be updated to whatever the archival address of the board will be (unknown at this time). - Aeron Ganesa - 10-20-2012 Quote:All current members/characters will just need to most on the new board's Maintenance Thread to be retitled/reinstated with their characters. You will not need to re-request characters you already have. So Kiri, Will we need to re-register our character's account. then post in maint. there Saying EX.. Aeron Ganesa pack Anathema Rank Angela Correct? And do this for each current Character? - Cassandra Asylum - 10-20-2012 More or less, yes. Details will be posted on the new board once that's up. - Ayasha - 10-20-2012 I have two questions about this: One, will chat be working during this? And two, what software are you going to be using (out of curiosity)? - 'Souls Assemblage - 10-20-2012 The Chat will be available throughout the move and server upgrade as it resides on a different server entirely (it's hosted on Sie's personal server, not 'Souls's server). The new board will be phpBB3. - Sky Rhiannon - 10-21-2012 Inconvenient and unexpected, but a welcome change none-the-less. We're starting to get crusty with our old ways. Time to move onward to the future! Only question is, does anyone know a thing about this new system? phpBB3? What is this nonsense? Could one of you lovely people provide a good place to look this up and read up on it? - Sabyne Somanov - 10-21-2012 Well, there's this link explaining what it's all about. And this other link right here including a tutorial of sorts that provides some images. I dunno if that helps you out or not. >.< Also, I heard that this is based off of Sie's site, I think/believe. - Io Berlin - 10-21-2012 So. I might be confused. The current threads we have on now. They will be archived, not active on the new board? Are we meant to repost what we have or make new threads? - 'Souls Assemblage - 10-21-2012 Quote:You will be allowed to mirror and continue current threads on the new board, though old/finished threads should not be reposted. The server upgrade will also not affect any game resources not on the forum itself, so the RP Guide, the Wiki, and pack websites, and the yearbooks, will be unaffected.In other words: you may re-post your non-closed/active threads to the board and continue them there, but not old threads. - Cassandra Asylum - 10-21-2012 Real quick-- What will/will not be transferred and/or available on the new board is still in flux at the moment while we figure stuff out. There are already a few things which we thought would be relatively easy to transfer that are... not so straightforward after all. So we may need to back on a few things/procedures already stated above. We're doing our best, but when it comes down to the time we have, our priority is going to be functioning board first, transferring stuff second, and shiny extras third. So bear with us. D; The thing that hasn't and won't change is the fact that we won't lose any data on this board. It's just what's getting moved that everything is a "maybe" right now. Sorry for the lack of certainty. :c - Alyssum de Fonte - 10-21-2012 I hope I am not bothering you guys with my question! (I know how hard you all must be working. ;_____; thankies <3) How will upcoming auxiliary character and puppy requests be regulated? Since a lot of current threads will be reposted along with their individual replies onto the new board, it would be like kind of repeating what we already posted on this board—it definitely shouldn't count towards requests that can be quite delicate and needs an exact post count between however many so week bracket. I was wondering if you guys have any ideas (At this current moment—don't take your time answering my silly question. xD) how you will go about this? - Skye Collins - 10-21-2012 Aly - We don't entirely know yet how post counts, future requests, or those sorts of things are going to be handled. :O It'll be figured out soon, however! - Silvano Sadira - 10-21-2012 okay question question question. Titles and Icons? are we keepin' those aka can the SA access that info ooooor? - Skye Collins - 10-21-2012 Everything on this forum - profiles, posts, old threads, old post logs - is being preserved in an archive. The only difference is that it won't be able to be posted in - so yes, anyone will be able to see the old icons and titles, and they will be transferred over. It's kind of like moving - when you move to another house, your old house doesn't get destroyed, you just don't live in it anymore. ^^ So things on the old board will still be able to be seen! - Sebastian - 10-21-2012 Curious about one thing- will we still have all our messages? And the notes in our notepad? |
