Aren't these supposed to be locked threads?

Think so.

Wait....we can reply in the fourms now? Walrus losing is touch?

*CENSORED* SP701T H@X0R!!!11

Don't fear the Walrus.

What the......

One and a half days? *Sighs.* No doubt fixing things that should have been dealt with before they'd even considered moving us over to this platform. If this forum doesn't come back up with as many features as Lithium had, I'll be disappointed.

'Ere, Walrus. Don't suppose you could do us a favour and, uh, 'suggest' to the Web Team that they use this downtime to scrap these forums and put Lithium back? Of course, if they're doing that anyway, all will be forgiven.

Hell, I'd be happier with PHPBB than this :/

Would be nice if we'd actually been told what the downtime was going to fix/do too. Ah well. Always keeping us in the dark until it's too late =/

Hooray!
Nothing like testing something in a live production environment, eh?

*roll eyes*

*Yep posting in here is a bug, so Im sure thats one of the things they should be getting fixed in the downtime....with any luck.

This is phpBB. In Java form. That's my main complaint. They've dumped a professional board like Lithium and gone with something that fan sites use, for pity's sake. And fan sites actually execute it better!

But if the forums go down.. What will I do with my life?

Live it?

Found the answer to that on the Station forum. This downtime is simply to allow others into the torture that is these forums. No fixes mentioned.

Java is great for a many things, but forums ain't one of them. Should have stuck with ASP or PHP.

Ohhh yes!
It's the "transition" time for other games, I forgot.

/chuckle

Maybe with everyone shouting at SOE they'll devote some proper resources to fixing this mess.

One can dream...

If only...

I guarentee you when the forums come back online, it'll still be this buggy java crap. And 95% of the bugs and annoying things we have now will still be here.

Well, at least we still have an awesome game to fall back on in the meantime.

hooray  SPAM

So how is it that these forums need to go down so others can be transitioned?

It's because the one thing they did change after they downloaded this software from the JForum site was integrate some sort of unified user database which spans across all the SOE communities. I'm guessing they don't want anything to happen to that database while the new forums are being set up (a sensible precaution, but they really shouldn't need to bring Station to a standstill), so they need to close down all active ones to be sure of no slip-ups.

Well, no slip-ups from our end, at any rate...
