Yeah, there may be error messages popping up as we try and get everything hooked up. I'll post here and on the boards when the site is actually up and running. Since the domain is pointing to the site now, you guys might see messages like that come up.

Wow, I surprised no one has migrated back over here yet, while our normal boards are down. FYI, for those who don't know, we're currently moving our regular boards to new hosting. Things are a little bumpy right now, but Erica and Marty are working to resolve the MS SQL issues an get them back online.


I was to understand there'd be cake and punch here?

There's a reason you separate military and the police.
One fights the enemies of the state, the other serves and protects the people.
When the military becomes both, then the enemies of the state tend to become the people.

Ok - this is getting downright silly.

The last thing we heard was 31 January -

It's been over 2 weeks sine any information was published.

Do we have any idea of what's going on? Any rough guesstimates as to when the forums are going to become active again?

Heck - I'll even settle for a SWAG (scientific wild ass guess) at this point.

But I'd really appreciate it if we had SOME kind of update as opposed to merely the presence of the cricket chirping in the corner.

Antistar?

Bueller?

Anyone??

I'm really sorry guys, I've been busy and meant to reply, but I've been waiting for actual news myself.

As stated, Marty's been the one in charge of all the uploading with the database, and she's tried since the first breakdown with the database/hosting account uploading, and got the same error as before. Being that I have no knowledge of how to do this on my own, and the MSSQL publishing program from GoDaddy only running on Windows, she's been the one to attempt to upload it and knows when there's a problem. Since we're getting the same error, she has people from work looking at it again, but I honestly don't know when the site will be back up...

So there's three options I can think of right now for getting any of our own boards back.

1. We wait for the GoDaddy techs to review the issue and have them re-upload the database (no timeframe on this, I would hope within the next 3 days) then try and connect the site and get the old boards running on GoDaddy.

2. We give up with GoDaddy and go back to Deru, where everything already is. I can take over the payment or just give money to Jerec for it.

3. We give up on the old site and make new forums. All previous posts/PMs/everything gone, and just start fresh.

And actually, there is a fourth option, which is staying here at the TFN boards and giving up on our own site, and using these from now on, forwarding the domain to these boards.

I've been asking about this every day and getting the same "they're looking at it" response. I'm pretty irritated with all this since I know for a fact this shouldn't be THIS freaking difficult, and I'm not sure why we're getting these same errors with the server not being able to be connected to. I'm frustrated because not only do I not know why this is going on, but I can't do this myself, so I'm depending on Marty for being on top of this. Not that she's slacking because she can't do anything with the connection error, but I can't keep trying on my own.

I mean, we can take a vote as to what we want to do, or we can just keep waiting, or someone else can provide a suggestion. At this point, it's going to be more waiting. I'd apologize again, but I don't think it'll help at this point.

Also, as stated on the temporary site page, anyone can email me personally if they ahve any suggestions or want any other updates, even if I can't provide them at the moment.

Well, I know Deru was really mucking around with us quite a bit so I wouldn't suggest going back there. And to be honest, there were good reasons we started up our own boards before, not the least of which was the ability to have the Cantina and other assorted situations of making our own rules which is why I'd like to continue having our own site.

I tend to agree with Mick. We'd definitely have to tone certain things down if we came back here permanently. And no subsections or cantina...
