Welcome back!

Yonkey:
Welcome to the Temporary KQIX Forums!

We'll be using these free forums as a temporary substitute until the real forum comes back online. I can't transfer anyone's posts because I don't even have access to the forum files.

However, once the old forums are back up, I believe there is a way to import YaBB, so all posts made should be able to be transferred and count towards your post count!

So... why were we offline for almost a month?? Well, from what I heard, it turns out the server we were on reached the maximum transfer bandwidth limit of... ONE TERABYTE!! WOOOOO HOOOOO!!!

We can't take all the credit/blame though because there are many other domains and websites hosted on that same server. I'm not even sure what the most bandwidth intensive part of the kq9 site is!

Oh well, we are now on an alternate server which is linked with the same domain. So, once our old server comes back up, the site will seamlessly transfer to that one.

Ok, that's enough from me... let's get these brand spanking new forums dirty.

Excellent!!! The KQ9 forum is back in business

To all those who were once frequent posters on the old forum welcome back. For those just joining us, welcome aboard.

A lot of interesting things have been developing on the KQ9 project in the absence of the site. Ironically, the time we were down has been our most productive time EVER!

Well you'll find out about the new things coming soon enough. Until then start posting and have fun.

Jeysie:
Yay, the forums are back up! Whoo! I missed you guys! (sniffle) GROUP HUG!

...*ahem*

Rick: I can't wait to see updates to the rest of the site, to see what you guys have been cooking up for us.

Cesar: Somehow, I don't think you're going to get any sympathy from these folks.

Yonkey: One terabyte? Yikes, I don't even want to think about that number. That's a lot of zeros. But I find it odd that the server even would run into a bandwidth limit. Why doesn't your old host have it's own backups for those occasions?

And I was going to mention that you'd probably be able to transfer posts made here to the old forums once they were back up, but I forgot to. And it was me that suggested these forums, just for the record.

Peace & Luv, Liz

No idea. I guess it does now!!! Heheheheh;D

THANKS JEYSIE!!!!!
Actually we might not be able to transfer posts because it has no export feature. Unless they removed it on purpose because the boards are free??

It's entirely possible... you maybe could e-mail the support people about it. I, too, had just supposed you might be able to port posts based on the fact that these boards are run on YaBB software.

Still, it's better than no forum at all, or one with ads or crappy thread organization. (If I hadn't been so busy I would have offered to try and toss up a temp forum on my own website server, but such is life, I guess.) Hopefully you'll be able to get the old forum back up soon, anyway.

Peace & Luv, Liz

YEEEEEEEEEHAWWWWW!!!

Oo, and I like the icon options even more here!!

But the lack of the SUFFER icon is not acceptable. Something must be done!

So good to be back!

Guess who this is!
Good to be back!
Indeed, no suffer emoticon.

Let the post war continue!
(PS: I won't be joining the post war ofcourse, I'm just a(n innocent, ahem) bystander.)
Let's see how persistent this board's cookie is. Hello and goodnight!
(Now the only thing to do is say my goodbyes on the Tierra-forum)

The Knight:
I don't mind if the posts don't tranfer over. Only if the post count does.

BoardnationArchive · October 25, 2003, 03:42:52 PM

Storm:
Well, not even the post count got transferred last time

BoardnationArchive · October 25, 2003, 03:43:47 PM

Yonkey:
Actually, transferring the post count is WAY easier than the posts.

But Storm's right, this board doesn't have an export feature. It's free, you can't expect everything! So the posts themselves probably won't be transferred... unless I do it the old fashioned way (copy and paste).

BoardnationArchive · October 25, 2003, 03:43:58 PM

The Knight:
We should make a poll, Should Yonkey copy and paste every post to the other forum?
I have a feeling the majority of people would say yes.

BoardnationArchive · October 25, 2003, 03:44:41 PM

Yonkey:
Even then, I don't think it's possible for even me to post under someone else's account name. So I'm not 100% sure how the copy and paste thing would work. A thread with only my name on each post kind of defeats the whole purpose of transferring it.

BoardnationArchive · October 25, 2003, 03:44:54 PM

The Knight:
You could do something like:
Yonkey: Look at me! I'm drunk!
The Knight: Another drunk post.
Storm: Death to Connor!
Cesar: I BELIEVE I CAN FLY!

BoardnationArchive · October 25, 2003, 03:45:31 PM

Yonkey:
LOL!

Since when did Cesar become R. Kelly?

I guess that would be the only way to do it... oh and you can forget about emoticons if I'm gonna be copying and pasting

BoardnationArchive · October 25, 2003, 03:45:47 PM

Storm:
Nah, just leave it.
We got used to the loss of the posts from the old board, we'll get used to losing these posts as well.
Cut & Paste would be too much work for Yonkey, especially if he plans to post them like regular posts, under their creator's name.

Yonkey -
I still haven't lost hope of seeing at least "selected bits" of the old board posted, especially the fan-fiction posts

BoardnationArchive · October 25, 2003, 03:46:02 PM

Yonkey:
Those posts aren't really lost. Rich has still them on his computer. It's just up to me one of these days to figure out how to transfer them.
