Th art bell theme has been restored. I am trying to sort out things on the server, there are files from 2001, in all sorts of directories and all over the place. Slowly I will move them into logical spots, and as I do that I am fixing the broken links I find.

Yup I mentioned in the migration issues thread, the DB is 1.4GB uncompressed, ~650MB compressed with gzip. The import went flawlessly, using mysql -u username -p fantastic_forum < old forum.sql - it took about 15 minutes. The current server is a small linode VPS using a custom debian setup I made. I...

I appreciate all the nice thoughts and gestures all! I am glad the server seems to be working well so far, fingers crossed :) As for rule changes and the like, I tend to enjoy at least trying democracy, although it sometimes blows up in my face hehe. I plan to launch a series of polls, and we can se...

I have known Fan for a long time. What he calls himself, his "handle" is irrelevant. He is a man of ethics and has nothing but good intentions for this place. He bought this place to preserve the database and therefore preserve it as the first Coast based forum, and to keep it going. Cons...
