Think of the hmf board as a library. The books are still around in storage, but the building and all the shelves are burned down (or more accurately, a couple of key support beams were removed). With the right framework, everything will simply jump back on the shelves the moment the library is rebuilt. I believe this would happen with ultrabb, but I also believe it to be a potentially temporary solution, as that place is a virtual graveyard in its own right. Globat would still loom as an issue in the background, as well.

So is there a more permanent solution we could utilize? Or is the magically filled shelves wowbb/offshoot specific?

If we do rebuilt, would this be the chance to use that front/main page illustration as well as the bunch of banners I made? I question the illustration since I noticed that Bloody-Disgusting conveniently put up a similar idea a couple weeks before I was done. Of course their's is a digital traced piece of crap illustration, but still, we would look like copycats cause they got theirs up first

I get a white page version of the board with lots of dollar signs in between the forum words. When I click it does the page not found. Been doing that for days though.

I'm going to hear that laugh in my head each time I check back on that page.

It's a classic reference to be sure.
Is everyone in touch with Foo on this or just Dream?

I do wonder if the $ signs are indication of what Globat really wants... Extortionist motherf!c!ers!

It has been on my mind for a while. I think all the regulars take the regularity for granted and know now how to navigate. When you start on the homepage, we are slightly chaotic with so many subforums. perhaps it is time to rethink/restrategize. And could a new board also afford a different type of functionality for us? It may not, of course, but you'd think that there's a fair chance that forums have advanced in 11 years. Though it feels slightly blasphemous to suggest it.

Of course it's advanced in 11 years. And we've faced a number of people wanting that from Laz to Bludge etc. But most of us have maintained that if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Well, now it might really be broke. Sooo...

I guess if there was ever a time to look to change, it's when you can't go back to the good ol' days. still sucks donkey cock, but we have to advance with the times at some point.

Bludge was unreliable. He wanted change, worked a bit then didn't show up for months. Meh. Best case scenario we can move "the library" still have it and maybe get a new home minus Globat and have some great new features. Like putting your old stuff in a new purty wallet. Worst case- we move on with nothing. I'd rather have best even if it is just archived. If we can't go back. We go upwards!!!

Bludge was never the answer. Just a shame we didn't have someone like him without the unreliable disappearance. basically, the dream would be if Dream and Z could learn to program and make HMF their puppy.
