How long?

Have these forums been up?

Pu the Owl · Oct 4th, 2002, 01:11 PM

More than one year.

jdkgts · Oct 4th, 2002, 01:15 PM

Oh I see. How come you only have 20,000 posts. You have so many members. I do not understand.

Sword 4 Hire · Oct 4th, 2002, 05:05 PM

Because a lot of the members don't post at all and the ones that do are busy most of the time

Nope, that's not the reason. Next time don't try to give an answer if you don't remember what happened

The main reason is that we had to switch from Ikonboard to VBulletin after the Ikonboard software crashed some months ago, so all posts were lost when we restarted the forums with the new software.
Also, we deleted a great amount of posts from the Other Consoles forum because there were some troubles with console wars

These, especially the first one, reasons influenced much the posts count.

Check the posts count: it's not 20,000 posts, but more than 44,000. Where did you see that we have only 20,000 posts? Sorry, but I don't understand...

Infernal Mass · Oct 4th, 2002, 06:09 PM

cool i always wanted to ask about the history of this place.

Pu the Owl · Oct 4th, 2002, 06:14 PM

Maybe we should post a biography in case anyone is interested

You were talking about General Chat only, right? That's the only thing that makes sense to me.

Ruby Moon · Oct 4th, 2002, 06:18 PM

I see... that's why I remember you were saying you were having troubles with the older forums when I first signed up. I think it was the first days you were starting the new forums, but at that time I didn't understand much about it

jdkgts · Oct 4th, 2002, 07:16 PM

I was talkign about the Gen. Chat. I look at that more than total posts overall for some reason.

That's weird, because usually a forum with many different sections must be judged by the overall posts count, and not from the number of posts of a sinlge section. Anyway, I don't think the post count makes a great difference. There are forums with lots of posts, but 90% of them are just spammy messages that you wouldn't want to read

jdkgts · Oct 4th, 2002, 07:37 PM

Yes, but sometimes you want posts a little more relaxed. Some may consider them spam some may not. This is cause forums are suppose to be fun, informative and relaxing.

Ruby Moon · Oct 4th, 2002, 07:52 PM

Of course posting should be relaxing, I'm not saying the opposite thing. For spam I don't mean funny posts in general, because forums are made to enjoy your stay and spend some time also talking about "silly" things.

haha, the memories, i remember all this... the switch when we all had to sign up again January 2002, and I probably started the whole console wars fight (whoops!) by suggesting a "other consoles" board.

Remember good ol' Funky Monk, guys?

Actually, out of joke, I would be interested to listen about it.

jdkgts · Oct 5th, 2002, 07:31 AM

Why would it have to be a joke?

So, it appears it's partly your fault Mercury

jdkgts · Oct 5th, 2002, 07:43 AM
