Old HH site is LIVE x-posted...

Post by doclocks » Sat Sep 13, 2008 11:05 pm

Its been quite the process, but its all been worth it.
Check it out!!

http://www.doctoredlocks.com/hh_forum/a ... /index.php

I posted this link under site details so that we'll have a hard copy of it there.
I didn't think most people would see it so I wanted to let you all know here.

I have made it an archive, so its viewable and readable, but not postable. I'm still hoping to integrate it a bit further, but I wanted everyone to have the info asap!!

Cheers!

Bwaha, it's so strange. I have a girl asking me about dreads, and I can't even remember our talk at this point lol. It's handy, though, as I needed some of the information about a supposed shipped package :) I wish I could respond! Some sweet feedback was left, and I want to thank her, darnit.

You should be able to log in and get any PMs. The only thing that we can't do is post there now. But at least we have the info.

Cheers!

Should we keep transferring tutorials onto this board? I was thinking it would still be a good idea so that people can post questions or comments or whatever.

ahh but then it would keep crashing and us mods would have no access to issues! Much better at our new home!

Ikickshins, I think it would be nice to still transfer tutorials as people want easy, instant access to them :)

We have a choice with that I suppose. We could wait and see if the boards can be merged a bit OR we can leave all of the old posts behind and just start fresh.

I'll look into merging a bit right now and get back to you with feasibility. :)

Okay, so the boards *can* be merged. Does anyone think it will be worth the trouble?

I would think we would NOT want to merge members as there are 20,000+ members on the old board - most of those being spambots - not real people.

We could merge posts, but if we did it would take the board down for a couple days, or at least one day. We could put up some kind of chat room in its place for people to not have to go through withdrawls, but the board would have to be taken down for database work.

Otherwise, we can leave it as is and migrate what we want. We will always have access to the old posts for searching purposes and your old account info, should you have one.

Thoughts?

I think we should just migrate what we want. If the posts are merged we'll end up with duplicate threads and what not wont we

Yes, we will end up with duplicates. We can always have people help moderators find the duplicates and we can merge topic singly or we can delete repeaters.

It's not really an easy task to merge the boards, but it is a bit of a pain having both as well. There IS a lot of good info on there. But really, its up to the community to decide what they would like to see done with it.

I'm trying to put together an archive site for all of our current technical/method/info/etc. so that it can be found in one spot. Maybe instead of migrating we can do some compiling there. I'm planning on having the archive site link back to various sections of this board for current up to date discussions.

Anyone have any opinions or thoughts?

I think we should only move the threads we need, like tutorials, the shops and links threads, stuff like that. There are a lot of threads on there that no one is ever going to refer back to or for stuff that comes up regularly anyway.

Also.. moving them over manually gives me something to do when I am procrastinating at doing my homework. Yes, I'm being selfish.

I don't think we need to merge both boards, and it would be nice not to have downtime so soon too. Could we merge maybe just the tutorials sections? I think the rest will come in time.

Sarah - you crack me up.

Tutorials will have to be manually moved as we can't just do one section.

However, I am working on the archive site and just finished loading the page basics. I could transfer all of the old tutorials there so that the images/text would be in one place and we can leave the tutorial section here for newly evolving ones. Or at least have a more permanent back up copy there in case someone loses hosting/site info. Disappearing tuts is never fun. Would that be coolio?

I forgot to mention - and I'll mention in the other post - I'm not planning on leaving those pages in under my store. It was just easier for me to build it there for structure purposes.

I don't want anyone to be off put by that. :i9:

yea, i don't think merging is a great idea either...but grabbing the useful, popular, or fantastic reference threads, tutes, etc

i was actually wondering if this boards 'best of' section was going to be archived server side? i remember the heartbreak of the old quinnster board when the best of threads were all filled with broken images :(
if that was the case, we may be able to have a thread for voting in some of the old showoffs to the archived section? just a thought to discuss

Oh, fantastic! There were a couple of PMs on there I really needed =) You've just made it possible for me to send out items to someone who has paid for them. Thank you ;)

& It makes me a little nostalgic looking at the old board =(
