    Well, well, well... so now that the old software is on its way out, let's give it a proper sendoff. I'm thinking like this:

    Just so there'll be no misunderstandings later... this software has seen a lot of history, gone through a lot of battles. This will be her last. She will not fail us if we do not fail her. If we succeed in our mission, vBulletin will bring us home. If we don't... it doesn't matter anyway.

    So once Nick makes the final backup to use in the conversion, for about a day, this board will be up but nothing entered will survive. I was thinking we'd delete all Personal Information in the Shelter (what could happen, the board might get unstable?), make everyone an admin, and then just sit back and watch the inmates take over the asylum. :diablo:

    A less than reliable ship that should've been retired ages ago.

    Sorry Cass. :(

    Actually, once the transfer is complete I will have my webhost wipe the server.

    I think it did quite well. This old thing ran for almost ten years with only one major wipe I can remember. It moved servers several times. There's over a million posts here and no 24/7 professional support. It's been patched more times than a crash test dummy and there are still addons (= probably bad code) from the dawn of the the century.

    That is impressing.

    Any chance these threads will be backed up to a DVD or something? It's always been one of my dreams to see all the posts we've had eventually be made available for viewing. I think Elwood has a backup of old threads somewhere.

    DVD? Make a backup, put the .zip in the cloud and post the link. This isn't 1998 any more :shrug:

    I'm certain I have plenty of room, and this is what they use in the movies.

    Really?

    You want to hold a pointless grudge for another decade?

    That's pretty sad.

    I have a very large supply of them kicking around, that I don't use any longer, if you need more...

    I still have a bunch of those, too, and I even have a drive for reading them that you can have. (I really need to do some housecleaning...)

    It's not a grudge, I simply don't like or trust you based upon your past and continuing actions. Not that it matters a whit on here, but straight on into the real world. You are someone I'd prefer not to know.
