Nom Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 First new topic in the rejuvenated OT. I gotta tell you, this is pretty weird. Two and a half months is an absolute ton of posts. We've lost a lot of long-standing discussions, as well as long-term events like tourneys (looking at Video Games Consoles here.) Guess we'll just have to start rebuilding everything, but right the first page looks like mass thread necromancy. On top of that, we're now in phBB3, which is confusing the hell out of me, personally. Just one more change we'll have to get used to, but I'm thinking that it's going to take a while. EDIT: My avvy changed back to the old one. Kinda puts the whole thing in perspective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
venomai Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Yep, sure will take a while. I'm glad I save most of my big posts on WordPad. :) I now tend to use Volconvo for debating. Hopefully TIF returns to its fullest again soon, though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riku3220 Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 yeah and this is very wierd, the skin is like the exact opposite of what i had in the old forum, i had BlackSoul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjrox32 Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Bleh, I like the old default skin better than this. Really sucks that so much time and effort that were put into some posts were lost. Blogscape probably suffered the biggest hit from this. Edit- Noooooooo! The 1000 post count I had has now been knocked down to 837 :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Echofish Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 It took me a while to find the reply button (I was actually looking at a thread without a reply option, ahh well.) I'm worried about my posts though. Gotta make it up! Ultra Unholy,Hearted Machine... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsavi Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 ^ It might have taken the staff a while to give registered users topic-replying permissions. Ok, so I lost more than 700 posts. So what. It's not postcount that matters, it's the quality of given posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nenga Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 We'll get over it. This actually looks a little like zetaboards forums now. Which is good because there is no hope of me understanding the coding in it, so I can just ask on tip.it. This kind of hurts my eyes though because i'm used to darker colors. Ponies!

pryomancer Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Why move from somewhere that's not broken :\ We were going to move to phpbb3 anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsavi Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Why move from somewhere that's not broken :\ We were going to move to phpbb3 anyway. Yeah, was a topic of discussion for quite a bit on the old forums. Pryomancer, I have to say it is really, really weird to see you without a staff avatar and rank. Same for all the other staff.

magekillr Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Why move from somewhere that's not broken :\ We were going to move to phpbb3 anyway. But why? It's gonna be really hard to get used to the skins and the way the forum is laid out. Quite frankly, it looks worse and it's harder to read the topic titles.

Ezz Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Yep, it feels a little like going in a time machine (not that I'd know how that would be :oops:). I think TIF will fully recover soon though :) [insert birds flying in a circle here]Yes, that sig was annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kemikalkadet Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Why move from somewhere that's not broken :\ We were going to move to phpbb3 anyway. But why? It's gonna be really hard to get used to the skins and the way the forum is laid out. Quite frankly, it looks worse and it's harder to read the topic titles. Read the global.. it was broken. The whole board got hacked and wiped. Anyway, one good thing did come of it all.. a push to move onto phpBB3, which i love so far. Once everything is fixed up and looking pretty we'll be better than ever. Personally the only bad thing that happened was losing 5-600 postcount, i feel sorry for those with blogs and long-running threads that got destroyed though. just realised my av got resized somehow too. eww resizing and pixels dont mix ;/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magekillr Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Read the global.. it was broken. The whole board got hacked and wiped. I know... I'm saying why would we want to move here and not back to where we were or somewhere similar... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmyk Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 It's not that confusing after a while, I just find it's harder to know who created a topic and when stickies end when looking for topics.

NorthernHero Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Checking out how I look now.... I wonder how long it's gonna take till this train is rolling again like it used to. Sadly gotta say i'm probaply gonna be even more inactive than I used to be now. :( Reality is hundreds of times more beautiful and more interesting than delusions.

assassin_696 Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Change is always a little strange at first and hard to get used to, but we all do. Frankly i'm surprised the forums are back up so quickly given the damage that was done, so I know things aren't ideal at the moment but give the admins a bit of slack, they've been working astonishingly hard over the past few days to try and get things rolling again. Another forum I used switched to phpBB3 a while ago, and once everything got organised it looked great, much better to read and use. Yes, the content loss is massive, but at least it's not absolute, it can be rebuilt, and a fresh start didn't do anyone any harm now and again.

Ginger_Warrior Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 The skins and general presentation of the forum I'm sure will be fixed once the current bugs and tweaks have been ironed out. This isn't the end result - it doesn't even have the Tip.It logo, and the smilies are all missing. Most importantly, my compass has gone... >:( Patience is a virtue.

Derek_Zoolander Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 I hate to say it, but I'm almost definately going to be using these forums less. It's so horrible looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenin64 Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 I hate to say it, but I'm almost definately going to be using these forums less. It's so horrible looking. Um, different skins? Kind of a duh there...but it does look weird. I had the sub-trail skin, green to bright blue is like wtf. And the whole layout...no bar between stickies and topics is odd, to say the least. But we will perservere and seek to redominate, crushing all who stand in our path! and wow. Just realized I lost 2000 posts. Don't know how if I should be disappointed, or shocked that i posted so much. Command the Murderous Chalices!
