Re: WTF is going on?
Requests for stickies go unnoticed, the board crashes so much that I make a point to copy and save every single post I make before hitting submit, and it is seriously the slowest msg board I visit by a country mile. We still have The Machine as a moderator for christ's sake and he hasn't posted in half a decade. It seems like VV is on it's last legs. However, it's free and I'm not (really) complaining.

Re: WTF is going on?
that reminds me that haven't donated in a while
Is it time to get Sunmoon a new engagement ring?
I haven't had issues with timing out, but it does seem to take longer to load at (most) times, hehe

Re: WTF is going on?
VV times out a bunch lately. You never know what Py's got going on with other projects in the background!
It could be some sort of out of backup task or something that continuously backs up the database causing slowdowns or something like that. Who knows. Seems to be same time every day when it happens. I'm just wondering if massive backup tasks are being performed daily or something. Need update! Might just be crappy host performance.
There's some cool BBS software platforms out there but I don't think there's much desire to go beyond basic posting. It takes forever to post a new message which makes me think something's going on with the database, be it corrupted, hacked, or other.

Re: WTF is going on?
Still just using the dreamhost account you reccommended ;P
I'm here every day but only read a couple forums really. I do answer pm's if stuff comes up. TheMachine is there for posterity reasons (remember the roots yo!).
As far as dying - we're a specific board for a specific server for a specific game - the server isn't around and only Aslanna plays EQ1!
Basically we cover the life support, but we don't do anything with the site at all really. If someone has a comparably priced web host I have no problem moving on. If someone wants to do some development for the board (updating phpbb, adding features to the site, etc) - feel free to contact me/sylvus/moocow
We haven't taken donations in years, certainly not since long before the dreamhost switch. As pointed out, you get what you pay for, but if those of you who are savvy would like to chip in, there would be little kicking or screaming involved in bringing us in to this decade. On the flip side of that, I get what I pay for with a 10$ hosting account and don't hold out much hope for much better service at a similar price .

if you were walking around and you came upon a tulip with tits, would you let it be for the rest of the world to enjoy.. or would you pick it and carry it off to a secluded area to motorboat them?

Re: WTF is going on?
I'll look around in the next week or so to see if there's anything worth switching to and if there's a relatively easy way to convert a phpBB database to it. I'd be willing to buy the software if it's commercial. It would be kinda cool to have some sort of change or upgrade to the forum that injected some fresh life but it's not the end of the world if nothing changes.
bummer dreamhost is performing so poorly.

Re: WTF is going on?
You just want your VV's back!
Re: WTF is going on?
Maybe I just need a change of scenery from the generic phpBB look.
Here's a demo site for free phpBB styles:
http://www.phpbb.com/styles/demo/3.0/?s ... 0ad6f50cb3
Here's the modification database:
http://www.phpbb.com/customise/db/modifications-1/
I'd be nice to see the advanced BBCode added:
http://www.phpbb.com/customise/db/mod/a ... ode_box_3/
numbered lists, bullet lists, etc.
VV dwells in the stone age for posting options. Almost ten years ago when VV came into existence that was a good thing. It'd be nice for some extra formatting/features!

Re: WTF is going on?
btw, people could always recommend VV to others so we can get some new faces around here. noel isn't here to grill them with "WHAT IS YOUR INGAME NAME?!" so I don't think it will be as intimidating as it once was.

Re: WTF is going on?
New faces and opinions would surely be nice. At the same time, VV is a rare nook of internet literacy and keeping it that way could be a delicate balancing act.
