Old Discussion Forums Server Going Down

Publison

Since we can't respond to the announcement threads,

http://forums.parallax.com/showthread.php?142551-Old-Discussion-Forums-Server&p=1127809#post1127809

what exactly are we going to loose? Basic Stamp Archives? All links to Parallaxinc.com?

Phil Pilgrim (PhiPi)

I don't think we're going to lose anything except the old links, since everything in the old forum was ported to this forum. For example, the BASIC Stamp Archive is here:

http://forums.parallax.com/forumdisplay.php?59-BASIC-Stamps-Archive

As to the links, you can convert old links to new ones here:

So nothing is lost AFAIK.

Thanks Phil and Jen!

Slightly off topic but related: My first thought on this announcement was "Why didn't Bump post this?" So, is Bump no longer around?

How do you know that Bump and Moderator Monkey aren't one and the same? (BTW, I think Bump is really busy working on Parallax's new website.)

Mr. Bump is alive and well and deeply engrossed in a very large, very exciting project.
I shall let him know that you are wishing him well. Also, never call him a monkey, he doesn't like that.

Here is a picture of Bump enjoying a cupcake on the day of Parallax's 25th Anniversary.

Cheer, Jen J.

Bump

I approve of this.
I'm alive, I swear; unfortunately I haven't been able to put my one resource to work on things beside the new website, which is looking pretty nice and still being plinker-plunked away upon.

Glad you're still around.

¡Lo siento mucho, Señor Bump! (I like cats better than monkeys anyway -- even if they're cloaked in Pop Tarts and pooping rainbows.)

'Not that there's anything wrong with monkeys, BTW and for the record:

Well, okay, he could've been saving a cat instead, but still ...

I PM'd him.

They really should give far more notice, so people can go through old PM's and grab some if needed.

Even worse, I tried to log in, and apparently I forgot my old password....

ARGH!

I've had PMs disabled almost since day one of being a forumista. I'll add that to my list of reasons to continue the practice.
