IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT REGARDING PMs!

[Edi]

The next important question we should ask is whether Hadrian II, KO, Dedas, Lingchih and all these others here should prosecuted for the mass murder of innocent little PMs...

But we were just following orders!

Herode,

We're not exactly happy with the forum software we are on right now either, hence the reason we are changing it! UBB/UBBThreads has gone downhill in recent years and frankly some things are just plain old broken and it's less advantageous to try to work on a out of date software package than to upgrade to something that is more standard and flavor-rich than UBB. We've had a move in the works for a while now (actually a couple of years) but the direction we wanted to go changed several times in terms of the overall site, so we kept starting over on our plans.

We now have a new design courtesy of Tim and a new software package (vbulletin) to support the forums and press releases. We're even switching backend things like form software, ad programs, email and mailing list software. Basically about the only thing staying the same is the store site.

We're trying to get the import process down and then will be bringing in moderators as testers for a week or two before we do the real upgrade with the current board. My hope is to have all of that done by sometime in August. Originally we were shooting for this month, but the problems with the import because of the PM module is causing a delay. Hence the new guidelines and the urgency to get people in compliance with them.

Hope that cleared up your curiousity for now!

a moment of silence for thousands of PMs

Okay, back to the slaughter..

V-bulletin, great ! One of my favourites with IPB. I also found the inside PHP code better than the code from IPB. I mean : easier to read, to maintain and to mod.

Thanks for the information. I'll impatiently wait for the new forums now.

Come on, guys, kill your [censored] MPs !!!

none of my PMs are censored! Or, are they? I knew there was a conspiracy, I am always watched, and watchful. >.> <.<

Seriously though, I do very much hope that a timer can be implemented, I think it would be the solution that provides the most total happiness for admins and users.

Moving game communications to regular email has serious cons that to me outweigh the pros, especially when you are in more than 1-2 games, the spam to that mailbox can be less easily managed than a more controlled flow of messages here. Plus I would need an email for just about all of the active Dom3 players, and some people prefer not to share that, so then it becomes a hassle of having 2 places to look for the same info, etc.


As far as my professional gameplaying, I guess I am fortunate, sort of. I do the books for my brother's security business, which takes me all of 4-5 hours a week, and barely pays my bills. So I don't have to do much, but I don't get much either. But, it gives me a lot of time to work on my hobbies, which include winning world wars, and nurturing fledgeling gods.

which include winning world wars, and nurturing fledgling gods.

These are both worthy and noble endeavors in my humble opinion. World domination is a pretty high priority in my house as well.
