Helloooo
 
Is anyone still here?

Does Alcar know he’s still paying for this?

What happened to ANN NEELY?

Littleleeroy 02-25-2020 08:18 PM

I expect it'll take about a week for anyone else to respond, the rate this forum moves...

Phoetux 02-26-2020 07:10 AM

People are still around, but since nothing is happening about OW we're all on discord.
Alcar is still paying for this site.
Who's Ann Neely?

Nemo 02-26-2020 09:13 AM

was i ever here in the first place

JayDee 02-26-2020 04:38 PM

Bada-bing bada-boom, I'M WALKIN' ERE.

Yeah, it's been a slow day at the office here for.... a while.

Hobo 02-27-2020 12:49 PM

ANN NEELY was a legend around this place! Boy I sure miss her

Connell 02-27-2020 01:31 PM

OWF is still on my favourites tab, and I still check here at least a few times a week, even though there's nothing going on. I'm too much of an old man for this newfangled Discord business.

Nate 03-03-2020 09:11 PM

Alcar messaged me like a week or so ago, so he does know he's still paying for it. But it turns out that our provider is going to be pushing a server update soon that's going to kill vBulletin 3 for good. So that's fun.

Do you know the official death date? We should hold a sermon. While we can...

Varrok 03-05-2020 01:31 AM

I'm looking forward to this.

He said in a few weeks, a few weeks ago. This is Peter we're talking about.

Connell 03-06-2020 02:33 PM

Will the forum just cease to exist? Or will it remain in some sort of archived form?

Sadly it will still exist as long as the wayback machine does

Not in any viewable way.

Have you tried to load OWF on Wayback? Because of the way the forum produces links (with POST variables rather than sub-urls) it mostly doesn't back threads up.

Connell 03-08-2020 01:55 PM

That'll be a sad day. It's had a good run though, outlasted many others of its kind.

Varrok 03-09-2020 05:33 AM

Thanks, Alcar!

Auriel 03-09-2020 09:30 AM

considering the current version of vbulletin is 5.6, im honestly surprised it lasted for as long as it did

Hobo 03-14-2020 12:23 PM

Don’t worry guys I’m sure Alcar has a plan to save us all!

OddjobAbe 03-24-2020 05:06 PM

Rest in pieces.

STM 03-30-2020 01:53 PM

Damn. That fucking sucks, I thought this place would be here right up until the end of the world.

I think it came pretty fucking close, to be fair.

Xavier 04-02-2020 01:32 AM

Goodbye OWF, you had a good run :)

Varrok 04-02-2020 09:47 AM

If that's a good run, I fear to find out what a bad one would be :tard:

I thought the Native/Industrial theme argument would be here right up until the end of the world as well, but it will also be banished to irrelevance.

I was native all the way, but jumped ship to Industrial in the ARG years. (Friendly reminder that that publicity chain started over 4 years ago lol)

I think he was referring to the period 2001-2006.

Varrok 04-05-2020 01:52 PM

Oh yes, focus on the first five years, ignore the other fifteen

Abeguy 04-06-2020 11:59 AM

Definitely wasn't expecting to meander in to hear about its imminent demise. I guess its position in my bookmarks bar will finally be able to be filled with something else.

If I recall correctly the issue's been no longer having the credentials to run the required upkeep? Would be happy to try and work with y'all on preserving it if it were at all feasible, but que sera sera, right?

❤OWF❤

Phoetux 04-08-2020 02:53 PM

Nobody will want the forums back.

Nah, Alcar's still got the credentials. But neither he nor me nor anyone else has the motivation to put in the work to transfer to new forum software for a forum that's not getting any posts anyway.
