I can't be the only one who can't access Abeguy's blog, right? I keep trying every day but it keeps saying it doesn't exist.

[Phylum]

It's probably been deleted. It happens.

[Nate]

This. He's hard deleted it, so not even I can see it.

[Shade667]

Guess well never know about that man...

The forum doesnt remove it after its been deleted?

[Varrok]

It is removed, but it remains on the Newest Five Blogs for some reason. It'll get buried and forgotten soon.

[Nate]

vBulletin is and always has been broken. Version 3 more than most.

[Varrok]

Let's move to PhpBB, and delete all of our posts prior that.

[Nate]

Peter's developing his own forum software and won't switch us to anything before it's done.

Pause for laughter.

I dont get it...

[Varrok]

The punchline is that Peter's lazy.

[Shade667]

Ok...





Haha.

Seriously just switch us over to Xenforo already. Vbulletin is a sinking ship. Everyone and their dog, every single major forum, has already bailed. Please can we bail as well?

[Nate]

I think it's pretty clear that Peter's already bailed on these forums. Unfortunately, he took the keys with him.

[Havoc]

Can't we ask for them nicely? Or lacking that, lure him into an alley and take them?

[Job McYossie]

Havoc are you sure you understand how the Internet works?

[Havoc]

Havoc are you sure you understand how the Internet works?

Yes I do. The second option would obviously only work if you knew where he lived.

Seriously though, didn't one of the admins at one point get server access? I seem to remember something like that.

I've tried the former repeatedly. As for the latter... I might be seeing him in April, so I'll what I can do.

Nope. Only Peter and Kristen.

I don't understand why you wouldn't hand over the proverbial keys if you're not involved in the site anymore. Even if it was a case of funding I'm sure the members that could would chip in, I sure would.

[Shade667]

Maybe he just forgot about the site?

[Havoc]

Nah, Peter is a control freak. OWF is somewhere on the bottom of his to-do list. And as long as it's on the list he'll get to it eventually and no-one needs to do it for him. Or so he keeps telling himself.

[Job McYossie]

Nep I hate you. So much.

[Nate]

I suspect that Peter also feels a certain possessiveness because this place was such a big part of his adolescence. He doesn't want to give that up.

[Mr. Bungle]

Didn't he go through hell (and drama) to get to his adminship as well?

I mean, I wasn't there, but I've heard a few stories from the "old days".

Either way dude needs to shape up or give it up.

[STM]

Could start another forum. >.>

[Job McYossie]

Could start another forum. >.>

Getting people to switch would be hard as hell and we wouldn't be able to use the same domain. I suspect it'd more likely that either the forum community here would die off due to separation or the switch would never be fully supported.

[Phylum]

Remember that time we tried to get everyone talking on MA's forum? I thought not.

Also, remember how successful the Glass Dildo was?

If people really want to take the forum over, we need to do it by force. Viva la révolution!

[STM]

I'm just saying, to be honest this place needs a total overhaul to still be relevant in 2015.

[Manco]

let’s just move the whole thing over to facebook

[STM]

Not everyone wants to mix Facebook up with forums though. I mean, it can't just be me, unless it was a closed secret grpup I guess, but then how do you get new members.

[Manco]

I was joking.
