I'd rather they came here.

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 Our bureaucracy and our laws have turned the world into a clean, safe work camp. We are raising a nation of slaves. Chuck Palahniuk

Why would they want to take over ours? Seems a bit weird, to me. And unnecessary. Christian R. Conrad The Man Who Knows Fucking Everything
Post #5,219 by Another Scott 8/14/01 11:32:51 PM Reply	Agree. IWeThey should be Scott/Wade/etc.-not a squatter's.

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. A.
Post #5,227 by Another Scott 8/15/01 12:40:05 AM Reply	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.
Post #5,234 by static 8/15/01 2:09:44 AM Reply	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. Wade. "All around me are nothing but fakes Come with me on the biggest fake of all!"

Post #5,367 by static 8/15/01 11:43:44 PM Reply	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.
