Welcome to IWETHEY!

New Moving on out...
For want of a better place to put it, I thought I'd announce it here.

Since this place now seems stable and present enough, I've begun locking fora in the old EZBoard site. So far I've done all the Archived fora, my "current" articles, the Guidelines, Tips and Flame fora. I don't know how long we should wait before we can lock away the rest of them - I didn't want to rush into things so I have no plans to do any more for the foreseeable future.

New Sounds good
I might post a note someplace on ezIWETHEY, either in Open + one of the overview forums, or at the top of each forum (a' la our trick at IWE) that we've split. Yes, I know the main screen says so -- this should be emphasized though. Not sure notice needs posting.

It would also be nice if the redirect hit the current zIWETHEY forums specifically instead of the board main page.

I'm just trying to work up some regret over the spam we'll miss....

What part of "gestalt" don't you understand?
New question, why not lock but the most current posts
and leave the forums open as such, maybe someone will want to migrate there. If you get enough folks offer over the admin rights and book.
thanx,

New As to handing over.. a scared er.. sacred Trust
We'd have to have a Logo change for Pub13 methinks..

Unlikely there could coalesce.. a dastardly group as irreverent n'irrelevant as This one, and as humble.. unless n+1 monkeys Could ! type the words to Frank Zappa's immortal

So as member #400 arrives at the floating crap game.. the game moves offshore - to the casino built in the middle of the Alaskan wildlife preserve, accessible only by HumVees across the tundra..

Follow the trail of discarded Colt45 cans and condoms, off to yer left and right. Weave a lot, so's the ruts are kinda levelled off where the plant-life died. Look for the neon lights labelled Librul/Cunservative for the dog&pony show at main entrance. It's right there under the stolen McD's arch with Wisdom chiselled into the lo-bid sandy concrete structure via

..the jawbone of an ass. Just set yer GPS to the location marked Perdition (would you like pizzazz with that?)

New I'd rather they came here.
I mean, that's really for the best, isn't it?

New Is it? We went from IWE to IWETHEY to ZIWETHEY
and morphed, perhaps leaving it up would morph something else. Much like the pioneers who moved west when crowded we are a new style of frontier. The settlements we leave behind might be used by people not quite ready fer us. Kinda wean them in maybe.
thanx,
bill

New EzBoard is all about making your own boards.
If some other groups wants a board on EzBug, they're perfectly free to set one up. Why would they want to take over ours? Seems a bit weird, to me. And unnecessary.

New Agree. IWeThey should be Scott/Wade/etc.-not a squatter's.
New Yes, it couldn't work, even with bare furniture. Only -
odd thought which occurred was RAID :-P

A spare. Should there be problems, a bit less awkward than majordomo ?

Besides, so maybe Zope even, follows nature and sometime crashes. Who better to resurrect than

The Plumbers Local 42

OK not a very good thought.

New A spare/mirror/etc. would be good.
Hi Ashton,

It was frustrating during the cable modem problems a while back. Not that I'm complaining...! :-)

Redundancy is good.

But it should be under the same editorial control (or lack thereof) that the real IWeThey has. I don't like the idea of leaving IWeThey up on ezboard in such a way that some other group can claim it as their own. It would be tough to imagine it happening in our case, but I've seen good Usenet groups destroyed by people who have nothing better to do than claim that they're the "real" fans of xyz, see them seed discontent, and ruin things. Scott and Wade and everyone else's handiwork shouldn't be usurped that way. They should keep control. After all, maybe someday IWeThey LLC (or whatever) might look like a good thing to pursue...

But with ezboard's killing of the Blue CSC forums, etc., I expect the ezboard option will be dead soon anyway...

My $0.02.

Cheers,
Scott.
New That's sorta why we're keeping it for now.
And the way to do that when we're not there is to lock the forums. If we need it in a hurry, Scott, Peter, Maggie, I or anyone else we made Admin can easily open it all up again in a trice.

But I'm still proceeding with "backing up" the content, anyway. It's proving an interesting project.

New Is anyone?
Is anyone backing it up yet? Can do, if needed....
New Yes.
I wanted to re-serve my articles from my server. As I type, I have a script fetching the message contents from them. I'll get the other forums once I've finished building tools to massage it etc.

Did you want a copy of the tools I've created so far?

Wade.

New Re: Yes.
Yes, please send.....will e-mail you.
New Could you re-tune your spam filters?
My email originates from wadebo.lnk.telstra.net :-) and biggs.com doesn't like that. So I can't email you!

Wade.

"All around me are nothing but fakes

New Also agree
I mean, if what exactly is IWETHEY if it doesn't contain...US?

(Resistance is not futile...)
New Why not close them alll now?
Any reason why we don't just make the whole IWETHEY ezboard read-only so that all new activity comes here?

I don't like going to 2 places for new posts.

New It's so we don't go too far too fast.
I really wouldn't want to close all of EZboard/IWETHEY in a hurry only to see a problem with zIWETHEY less than 4 hours later. At least with most of it closed, if we have a problem here, there's some breathing room back there.

I'll remember to close the rest of it off in a few weeks; I've been slowely backup it up and re-munging the content, and it will take me another week or two to be happy with the tools I've written to go get the really big forums.

Wade.
