Goodbye Fusetalk

[Aquaman]

I dread this move because last time the site did a major upgrade......... I could not log on with my account for 4 months 🙁

Cheers,
Aquaman [crosses fingers and prays]

I hope that AT spend more time this round on research so that they don't repeat their past mistakes, by be a technology lemming that constantly strive to have new shining toy/beta testers.

2 suggestions:

1. Send out an email before hand if you can, that will test how many people have actually updated their account. You could put a news post saying everyone should expect an email and those that don't receive one need to re-verify their profile or contact a mod. That way you hammer out problems before having password issues.

2. Put the new site up in parallel and in beta form. That way you can get passwords cleaned out before migrating all the real data. Just let people know that any posts in the new beta forum won't be saved. This will also allow you to have major testing of the site to hammer out any bugs before you switch over all the data.

Rossman was a newbie.

I have been around about the same time as Harvey. Longer if you count a defunct bbs that Anand was a newbie/member.

AT have been there, and I don't think they are going to repeat that mistake.

AT implemented image posting in the past and it immediately bogged down the bbs due to abusive/ignorant members.

I don't care about post count, but I would like to keep my registration date. It's the only thing I have 🙂. I also like knowing that I've stuck around this place for almost 8 years now (earlier than that actually, but my original account was banned....and yes, the mods were made aware of this a few years ago).

An announcement should be sticked at the top of each forum.
