Spring 2016 Forum Move

As mentioned here and on fb, the forum will be changing homes in
the coming weeks. Check here for updates and important news. Feel
free to comment and ask questions here as well.

One item of importance: we will not be moving the Private Messages
content to the new forums. If anyone has anything they want to keep
or save please be sure to copy it somewhere safe because once this
place is close it will be gone for good.

Thank you for your patience,
Ben, Edgy and KC

Awwww.

But looking forward to a new place. My PMs have been messed up forever. It always says I have one message. I save everything so I think I'm good there. Thanks for the heads up.

Anybody miss Vic Sage? He's been unable to post. Don't know which Broadway show to drop you c-notes on? Thank our broke-ass forum.

Special thanks to Ben and Kong for their work under the hood.

I've had issues too, at work, my laptop thinks this site is a virus host. I can still reach it by accessing it inside a VM but it's a hassle. It'll be nice to have a new clean place, I can't wait to poop in the crawl spaces and whatnot.

Same here. I've had that problem on and off for a while. I just ignore the little messages in the corner now.

Re: Spring 2016 Forum Move

One Friday morn, the rad'yo said something 'bout Fred
Got online to find out, but the Crane Pool, it was dead
Backpack Girl!
Why are you there?
Backpack Girl!
Your skin's so clear
But my head is in a whirl
No Crane Pool, just some Backpack Girl

I tried three URLs that used to work before
Your smile kept telling me that they don't work no more
Backpack Girl!
Lip gloss turns me on
Backpack Girl!
But now my forum's gone
And that just wrecks my world
Please understand, Backpack Girl

[list]I wrote to the forum admins
They forgot to pay domain fees
And I asked "Are you fuckin' kidding?"
They said "We do this all for free
Why can't you assholes see?
And no one's put much money
In the Community Chest
Got six e-mails from Rogers
With his previews of the Dodgers
On such a shitty day!"[/list:u]
I swallowed hard, moved on to post at Grand Slam Single
Such stale and shallow chat, I could not intermingle
Backpack Girl!
Your backpack's full of lies
Backpack Girl!
Oh won't you her my cries?
Your smile's like a pearl
But your heart is cruel, Backpack Girl

[list]I turned on FAN
And laughed at all the callers
Who thought the world gave two shits
About their dumb opinions
I called about Trot Nixon
They said "Hey, man, we're talking Yankees"
I said "If you don't talk 'bout Trot Nixon
Then your station needs some fixin'!"[/list:u]
Someone e-mailed me who posted there as well
He said that we're back online and here's the URL!
Backpack Girl!
My shining star
Backpack Girl!
Be my avatar
Your hair don't need no curl
At the Pool with me --- the pennants we'll unfurl
At the Pool with me --- the center of my world!
At the Poooool with meeeee, Backpack Girrrrrl!

Re: Spring 2016 Forum Move

There used to be this feature here -- "Unread Posts" or something like that. It hasn't worked in so long, I can barely remember what it did anymore. But I remember that I liked it. I hope that one's revived, whatever it is and does. And a decent search engine. I'd settle for a half decent search engine given how unbelievably shitty the one that we have is. And all of a sudden the time settings are off by an hour when I'm logged out again. So when you say you're moving the forum at 7AM, does that really mean 6AM? Or 8AM? And maybe the new place'll let youse keep threads active longer without having to bury them in a jar of hermetically sealed mayonnaise 15 feet underground every so often -- way too often. That's all I got for now.

I don't think I've ever shot a spitball.

Anyway, all your gripes are with phpBB version problems and not
this place per se. I hope, we all hope, that this is a major upgrade;
particularly in terms of security and not shutting out some long-time
users from using the forum.

I look forward to the move. My antivirus software hates this site. My laptop in particular goes crazy when I log onto the CPF. This past weekend, my laptop kept giving me multiple warnings that the site was corrupted, I was starting to think that I had somehow logged onto a Yankee site by accident.

Will current/recent posts all be transported also?

Re: Spring 2016 Forum Move

Your accounts, password, and ranks will transfer to the new place, as will all recent posts. And so will the various piddling issues that batmagadanleadoff likes to whimper about. The only thing you might notice is that our individual post counts will revert back to what they were a couple of weeks ago.
