Disregarding the odd radioactive skwerl or three (hundred), and functioning at a very basic level...we are, however, ALIVE!

As you've probably read when you tried to log in previously, we had "The Slightest of Slight Accidents" (which is TB speak for "The server went boom, and took ALL the forums with them - completely irretrievable even with the usual "tricks of the trade" to bring them back).

Not only did it wipe out these forums (7 years gone bang :( ), but it also took the raid group forums, and the guild forums also...not to mention the mail. So, that's a very big *OUCH*.

However, looking on the plus side...we will have an updated set of forums (with a watertight lock against spam once configured correctly), and a more easily upgradable set of forums at that (the old one was a bit of a nightmare as there were all sorts of stuff bolted onto it).

The Arcade WILL be back in one form or another, as will The Gallery. There may even be a blogging link with scope for Twitter feeds as well. Any comments/suggestions are very much welcome in here, and we will look at them all and see what we can do. :)

*Strokes forums!* Although it was slowing down a bit - we can now start on an even basis, and I expect you ALL to be outstripping my post count. Just wait until I get all the smileys back in place - the whips will be out once more. Let's get going then! :D

PS...message me ASAP if you wish the name of your personal forum to be changed...cheers!

Aye, I'm totally gutted about losing the last 7 years. :( Still, I have copies of the smileys at least...and we can rebuild it - we have the power! ;)

Let me know if you want any name changes or anything by PM mate...thanks!

:woot: Yeppers, brand :spank: new forums. Game on! :bad:

Lord Finisher
02-08-09, 11:49 PM
Quite. I wonder where I can put up my lists of random cool stuff again, as my "Captain Cheapo's Corner" and "Lord Finisher's Wacky Sites" threads are pretty much dead.

I can't believe I forgot what my wacky site thread was originally called... :(

Also - great idea - any chance we could get a cat-mouth smilie that activates with (=3) ?

Lotus666
02-08-09, 11:54 PM
I can try. Speaking of smilies - there's a whole new swag of them on offer now - feel free to try them out! :yes:

hehehe...what was your title before - something Lurker, wasn't it? :) Let me know, and I'll promote you ASAP. :)

Lord Destroyer
06-08-09, 05:42 PM
I think it was Layabout Lurker or something like that.

06-08-09, 05:50 PM
Name thy title, oh Bottle of Blue, and it shall be thine... :D

Nixxi
06-08-09, 10:39 PM
I'm sure I could come up with something :wicked:

Roz
06-08-09, 11:31 PM
That might be a fun idea!

Lotus666
07-08-09, 09:55 AM
Well, come up with suggestions for Blue whilst I put up Layabout Lurker...and if he likes any of the new suggestions ( :wicked: ) I'll change it then for him. :yes:

Bluebottle
07-08-09, 10:38 AM
Professional lurker, amateur layabout ... or was it Professional Layabout and Amateur Lurker??? I've forgotten now! :D

Lotus666

Won't be happening again.

However folks, I need critique of the arcade. I've got literally hundreds of games, but I'm only after the top notch contenders. So if you think something just doesn't cut it - say so and we'll fill by dead mans boots.
