Thank you for your help!

As we talked about off the board, I had registered a new account, but I did it too soon. Then just now to get on here I created a new account, but I did not try and just log in using old info but it looks like others may have done that.

Not sure.
So you were one of the three new people, """socks""" I welcomed to the board on Monday morning a week ago. And one of the others I took time to welcome was GoUnion. I was wondering why i was the only person on the board who took the time to welcome them to the board.

Now I know the score.

:lol:

From now on those discussions about who are """socks""" around here will be hypocritical conversations to say the least.
Monday? no, it all happened today. No socks...I saw a new board so I registered , earlier today, but then I registered again because it didnt work the first time.
OK, sorry, I misunderstood that. Now I'm wondering who those three people were who came in and made one post and then I haven't seen come back to post more.

Unfortunately this is the new board for reasons GoU already stated. I'll try to clean it up aesthetically as best I can, and GoU is going to add/tweak subforums etc.

I apologize for killing the board; it was my own hubris that caused it.

Best,

-P
Did you try unplugging it then plugging it back on :)

Thanks for all you do and stay well

sam lefthand wrote: Sun Oct 24, 2021 6:22 pm A suggestion. I noticed that the new software adds a new page after just ten posts. It would be nice to bump that number up to 25 posts like it used to be. I've seen boards that had that setting set for 50 posts. That's too many for a music thread because it has to load too many music videos to complete a page.
I set the limit to 25 per page. Also, I set the nested quotes to 1. That worked better than the heavily nested quotes, and we're all used to that now.

Let's move all other suggestions over to the forum suggestions thread so I can keep up with them.

It happens. I'm not upset because you've provided us access this board to give us a express our views and I think everyone will agree with me when I thank you for doing this. If it comes down to where you need financial help in keeping this board active, please let us know. I know I'll be glad to donate $100 to the cause.

As an IT professional, this kind of thing happens all the time in my company.

Glad you were able to get us back up, Plunderer, and I'm glad you're out of the hospital.

I spoke with Plunderer about this a few days ago, when the board went down. He doesn't want any money. He said "thanks anyway".

Is the data from the old board there, or is it completely gone?

On the plus side, there is now no evidence of my inane babbling. Yet.

Used that quote for years. Probably saw the movie ten times in the theater. I thought it was superior to all the other "Cannonball Run" and such movies. And, I just LOVE the Cobra. Coolest car EVER.

Speaking of the board going down and quotes I love, when it first went down, before Plunderer got to work on reinstalling the BB program there were 404 messages from the host network coming up when I tried to get the board to load. One of them included the quote "thank's for the fish."

:|

To me that quote means "goodbye."

How is Libertas a so-called sock when they registered under the name we all know them as.

Other people aren't as dishonest as you and your sock friends. Don't project onto us the things you do yourselves.

This abysmal fantasy is just above the level of your fantasy that you're victims of African Americans.

Some of these people still don't know how to use the internet, after 25 years of the internet as we know it.

The full quote from Douglas Adams is I believe,
‘So long, and thanks for all the fish.”

Welcome to the internet.

It's been around as we know it for at least 25 years.

Please learn how to use the internet and what being an internet-literate person is.

Please learn how to use the internet. Glitches happen. So does learning how to use the internet instead of covering your eyes, poking around in the dark, and guessing, based on pseudo-luddite conspiracy theories.
