Put His Number on the Wall

Edgy MD Apr 27 2021 06:47 AM

Three cheers to Ben Grimm for taking on hosting duties, making the Crane Pool part of the beloved infrastructure of the Ultimate Mets Database domain. I thought it would be more of a challenge getting the Stockholm staff up to speed with their new corporate partners (in Dakar? Montevideo? Who knows!), but so far it's all gone rather smoothly. Three cheers.

Thank you! This should spare us from needing a Community Chest* for the foreseeable future, as we're now part of a hosting plan and using a domain name that's already paid for. There was a bit of turbulence in Stockholm. Maja threatened to walk out, but she was placated when they assigned someone to sort her M&Ms for her. *Although, sadly, we'll no longer be able to "Take a Ride on the Reading" or "Win $10 in a Beauty Contest".

Looks fantastic. I love the orange! Thank you very much for all you do!

It looks great, BG. Thank you for the effort. (And thanks to Edgy for leading the thanks.)

Looks great! Good job, team.

Agreed, nice rescue, fellers. I do worry that the CPF will be potentially harder for new potential members to find now that our domain does not include any mention of the Crane within the URL itself. But that's a small detail.

Kudos to all. Later OOPS, Where is my old Brian Cole Avatar? If you can find it, please replace it with the one I have. Also, I clicked "remember me" when I logged in, but it didn't. I've had to log in each time I came back here. Please fix that. Thanks, OE, avatar fixed. Later

Very handy instructions from the old site. Good move.

Today we are all Swedes.

Number on the wall may be hard to swing, but with a little twitter prodding of our friend Stevie Cohen a BG All-Star patch might be doable. Thanks again for everything past and present.

Where's Paulie? Let's Go Cheetos! (gratuitous shoutout to the Buckets)

Always glad to see Ted.

Now I just have to find where my icon went

Or, if a link were to be put somewhere in UMDB that would lead directly to the CPF, it might actually make the forum easier to find, or at least more liable to be stumbled upon by those browsing

through the (I assume much more heavily traffic-ed) UMDB for other reasons.

Benjamin Grimm Apr 29 2021 06:10 AM Re: Put His Number on the Wall

I'm planning to do that, actually. Just haven't gotten to it yet.

Centerfield Apr 29 2021 04:44 PM Re: Put His Number on the Wall

I see. So we did it to save money? Thanks BG! So wait. Are we no longer in Stockholm?

Benjamin Grimm Apr 29 2021 04:55 PM Re: Put His Number on the Wall

We're still in Stockholm!

Ceetar Apr 29 2021 06:16 PM Re: Put His Number on the Wall

fake news, I definitely saw CPF reps in Gothenburg.
