Awesome attempt, but it's not the official new forums
« on: June 25, 2004, 07:15:31 am »
I understand that this place was created by the hopes and aspirations of a small group of SFC'er's, but it's not the "official" new forums as far as I know.

Given that this is the place Erik Bethke told us would be the new Forums, I suspect you are wrong.

I'm on the fence. 

My first reaction is that these are not the "official" forums because Taldren is not providing them.  They are, instead, the 'de facto' forums.

On the other hand, Erik did post that these would be the new forums; so if that constitutes an _endorsement_ by Taldren then I could see an argument that these are "official".

Sometimes the things that may or may not be true are the things a man needs to believe in the most. That people are basically good and honor, courage, and virtue mean everything. That power and money, money and power mean nothing! That good always triumphs over evil! And I want you to remember this, love, true love never dies! You remember that boy! Doesn?t matter if its true or not ya see A man should believe in those things because those are the things worth believing in!

Where you been man?  You missed out on all the fun!

The Readers Digest version is that Taldren-California is no more.  Kaput, gonzo, washed up, shut down.  Which means the boards are down.  Theoretically some of the boards may be moved to Taldren-Korea.

 Here, here!

I think this place will do just fine . I'll still support Taldren , but nowadays I just need a place to shoot the bull, hollar at conservatives , and have holes poked in my own fuzzy logic by smart folks on the other side of the aisle.  I like all these folks, even the ones I dont like ;D

It looks that it is not going to happend in the short term, if so, why bother transfering the old database.
Anyways, it is good to see all the great effort put into this forums so as to letting us keep posting!!!

Thank you,

Mariano

Just seeing all the old names pop up is a comfort in a small way. I wonder how many people changed their names?

Hi Tracey,

Congratulations on the new forum, but you do realize that it was approved to be only a temporary place? I'm mentioning this because people there seem to be under the wrong impression that it's the new "official" site, even the moderators. I don't know how they could've gotten that impression.

Like anything else, it will take a little time to get used to for me--but that's half the fun!

I am looking forward to these forums!

Stop Crim? that is like trying to stop the sun from rising.  ;D

I does look like most eveyone has made the move over as I see lots of familiar names plus those of us that went for new handles such as myself.

Considering we're all here, and we're all having fun, it becomes official all on it's own   :carmen:

I agree that this place has the potential to be a new thing in its own right, but the fact is that it's not the official new site...Taldren's original arrangement with this site was to house the old posts and to be a temporary place for people to meet until the new server is up. Why give this place all the old posts, you ask? Because none of the history of the old forums will matter at the new place. There has been no post by Erik or anyone else which endorses this place as thew new official site, as some people are claiming. In fact, towards the last hours of the Taldren boards, Taldren was deleting posts made by people from this site who were giving the mistaken impression that this site was the new official one.
