vbb transition scheduling

overhope · October 14, 2002 2:21PM

Okay, so about half an hour ago I hit "Add Reply" to see a message saying "FYI: we are now transitioning to vbb" (or words to that effect). Five minutes later everything was working as normal, still under ubb...

Now, I'm not bitching, as I realise this is a long-running undertaking, but could we have a message saying "You are likely to experience freaky stuff for the next x hours" when the Great Switchover (TM) is implemented. Or even just (whisper it) take AI down for a day?

Cynic! <img src="graemlins/lol.gif" border="0" alt="[Laughing]" />

It's in beta! vbb is no longer vapourware. I've seen screenshots, dammit!

Now it's mere RSN-ware...

It's real enough. They could leave it the default, ugly vB with a few color modifications and piss a lot of you off, or make it extremely good looking and take a while doing it.

I'm all for the latter...though UBB is really getting on my nerves.

And yes, it is entirely vapourware.

Chicanery.

thegelding, what are you talking about?

Anyhow, don't be surprised if some accounts get gobbled up and disappear in the transition. UBB has already been acting pretty funky lately.

December 13th. Mark your calendars, folks.

adding to the funk:

vB is not doing member imports properly.

UBBs member database is now corrupted.

my god, i am going to maul anyone who has ever written a piece of BB software.

hang in there, folks

Once again, EmAn loses his post count.

Oh, 300 posts in two weeks down the drain. Sounds like vBull(shit) to me

spart · October 14, 2002 9:26PM

Damnit.

I worked for a long ass time to get over 1k.

Jon, after you maul them I'll eat what's left.

What's a synonym for cannibal that rhymes with Spart? Maybe a foreign language has one?

ghost_user_name · October 14, 2002 11:50PM

how bout moron?

that sounds like spart to me.

hey, to the pre-pubescent peanut gallery: every other time that this has happened, has it EVER not been fixed?

Yeah.

Please, go watch power rangers or some shit.

Hey if you guys want some help molding vB into a more mature design let me know. I`m dying to do some Web work for something constructive

Not sure if you guys have ever attempted a crossover to vB before.
