#10300003792 07/07/2006 13:53:38 Re: New forums, eh?

Yes, New Boards!!! I can't wait to toss this crappy Lithium system out the window!!!




I personally hate the Lithum Message Boards, I just wish that SOE would but VBulletin, probably the best Message Board system around.

Actually, we'll give everyone admin status on the temporary forums. I figure it'll be less than 1/2 hour before everyone has banned everyone else and it'll be nice and quiet. SMILEY

For some reason I thought yesterday was Friday, and I was getting upset because Walrus was on, yet no Looking Glass.

I'm gonna try to ban myself, hahaha.
#10300003808 07/07/2006 15:28:50 Re: New forums, eh?

Don't ban me!


I'm excited! SMILEY
#10300003809 07/07/2006 15:29:30 Re: New forums, eh?
Excellent, it's about time you moved away from this abysmal set-up.
Heck, I'd recommend PHPBB over these, at least they have easy to define
avatars. And Walrus, please be careful about just what admin powers you
give out. Wouldn't want someone installing a mod on the forums that
allowed them FTP access now would you SMILEY (Yes, I'm aware he was
probably joking)



Roukan... Now the Blue Rank is truly dead SMILEY

#10300003813 07/07/2006 16:57:07 Re: New forums, eh?
As stated in the annoucement the new forum system is going to be inhouse allowing for more regular and appropriate updates, specifically designed systems and gnerally more flexibility for the task they're needed for. Meaning they will have been designed and coded as well as will be maintained exclusively by SOE.


At least thats how i took it :smileytongue:


That being said, heres some info for y'all:


Currently Announced Forum transition dates:


Champions of Norrath - July 18th


EQOA - July 18th


EQII - 8th August

#10300003852 07/08/2006 13:20:41 Re: New forums, eh?

first off, congrats on getting a gamer's post into the big red broadcast forum of doom. if we had a thumbs up smiley, i'd give it up to you. by the way we could use some new icons/smileys.


and second off, could we get some stats on the temp board bans. i'd be curious to see who was first to ban, first banned, most bannings, etc... :smileyvery-happy:

#10300003864 07/09/2006 15:32:32 Re: New forums, eh?
And can we please not have the word "c0ck" banned on the new forums? At least not when it's included in another word or name like "Han**bleep**?" I tried posting some pictures with the name "han**bleep**" in the filename and they wouldn't show up, because the auto-censor replaced it with "han**bleep**" :smileysad:

For every inappropriate use of it I've seen, there's a dozen more times when it's been needed to be used appropriately.
#10300003865 07/09/2006 22:48:50 Re: New forums, eh?
I was once auto-banned for trying to say "push". In those days, software wasn't capable of distinguishing "pus" from "push".

But back to the topic. New forums! Yay!
#10300003866 07/10/2006 00:43:17 Re: New forums, eh?
I hope theres new features of Auto truncating long text and pictures.
#10300003872 07/10/2006 08:51:56 Re: New forums, eh?
All I can say is YaY!!

I mean I had enough staring at the "Your e-mail address has been reset, because the recipient of an e-mail
at that address has requested that the e-mail address be removed from
this system." message in My Profile for almost a yr now hehe

And Walrus .... just to make it easy on you on the Temp forums... make a "Ban the community" button and I guarantee that the 1st person that logs in will use it! lol
#10300003877 07/10/2006 10:25:36 Re: New forums, eh?

I'm tired of my favorite authors name being censored. Philip K. **bleep**


Or my favorite announcer. **bleep** Clarke.


I can't even talk about the american Vice president fella that I love to hate. **bleep** Cheney.


etc, etc, etc.


:smileywink:

Fun Forums Facts:

This would be the sixth iteration of MxO forums (Ubi > A basic
set of forums after Ubi left and before Monolith set up their new site
(also the worst forums of them all) > First Monolith forums (white)
> Second Monolith forums (this template but different provider) >
SoE forums (also this template but switched to Lithium) > and now
this) SMILEY
#10300003914 07/11/2006 06:10:38 Re: New forums, eh?
A revamp of the profanity filter should really be done SMILEY

Or can it be turned off for the Next Renaissance forums?
Sometimes, in order to properly portray real life, you need some curse words.

Not everybody says things like "Oh gosh darn, you just shot me you dastardly beast!" SMILEY

Thanks for mentioning this. SMILEY I was going to start writing my Next Ren story like, "Well, fruit you, you dingle-hopper fruity flyer!"


Somehow, it just isn't gritty enough. . .


Hey, I'll even agree to assigning a rating for my story (PG-13, etc), if you'll just turn of the fruitin' filter! :smileywink:

Walrus, please, PLEASE let us edit our posts no matter how long it has been.  This edit feature on Lithum is just plain stupid.  It would cut down on spam (if the user wanted to post something different).

#36300001402 07/20/2006 07:01:09 Re:New forums, eh?
Things I wanna whine about these new forums.

 1: the signature size is different.  I have like 7 sigs that no longer work. Stoopid.

 2: The ranking system, where is Ntrails encrypted rank? GONE! Anyone got a screeny of a post that shows the rank? /mood hopeful

 3: Find all posts by this user, used to be my hompage, now it is terrible.

 4: The search function no longer works.

 5: Private messages don't work

 6: Because of 5, report this post to a mod doesn't work either.

 7: I miss my scroll bar of forums for quick forum movement.

 8: The quoting system is terrible, need either a box or a horizontal line to seperate quoted and new

 9: I have to go through 3 pages to get to world discussion, once again they've put them hidden away in 'world boards'

 10: Check for the new champagne room name in 'view source' :p

 11: Once again something has been released before it is even close to ready.  Why, oh why, didn't they take time, leave us on temp boards (where we were very happy BTW) until they had worked these boards out and made sure they were 'Customer Ready'?

 Ntrails

 EDIT: Oh, no, I can't.  That'll be number 12 then.
