The Other Worlds Shrine

Your place for discussion about RPGs, gaming, music, movies, anime, computers, sports, and any other stuff we care to talk about... 

  • Anybody happen to have the descriptions of the archived forums?

  • Somehow, we still tolerate each other. Eventually this will be the only forum left.

I don't think I have any backups that far, at least not on this computer. I might have it on my other PC, but it's not working right now.

Maybe now that we're changing things, we should change the descriptions as well? Just seems like it's about time.

Anybody got any suggestions for new descriptions?

Daily Stuph:

This is where you used to be able to talk about normal, everyday, non-gaming things. Now, however, that's a much more difficult task, all in the name of conformity.

You can alter the first sentence to fit the idea of each separate forum :-) (FYI, the smiley face means it's a joke)

Sine, if you go to the old setup, you can see the last posts. Question: why can't you just make it so that the old setup and the new setup can see the same posts? THat way, everyone is happy

My god, you ask the world. They are in different languages, different databases, and just plain totally different scripts.

It was hard enough to write a conversion tool to import the messages over here. Now you want me to write a RPGBoard<->phpBB2 real-time bridge that posts phpBB2 messages on RPGBoard, and posts RPGBoard messages onto phpBB2. Hell, I couldn't even using the conversion tool as a base because it relies on a blank phpBB2 database. Not to mention the viability of such a tool for a now-retired message board script is next to zero.

also the single-threaded and multi-threaded message board models are completely different in form and function. the information posted in one owuld get garbled in the other and etc.
