This is not about you.  This is about the reality of Taldren Inc. closing
it's doors forever and dealing with it.

The group that this forum represents, is a non-partisan one which
seeks to keep the Dynaverse servers up and running for some time
to come.

It's a new day, time to leave the past (Taldren forums) behind us.
(IMHO)

Adding this in here along with the post I made in response to this in the taldren forums

I think you need to make it clear that what you are saying is that you are requesting that the new forum use the UBB threads instead of the software being used.

The reason that "it got nowhere" to talk to me what I have no control over what is being done on Dynaverse.net

dave i know its not about me , its about the fourms all im say is y change it ,and when it come to servers i know all about it . the old forums are just that(old ) all they need is and update with all the new bells and wishtles and we can keep all the years of posts. and non-partisan well we will see .

i run and own a few companys 1 of them being the 3rd large atm deployer in canada and i know how to deal with closing companies and from what i here only the us office is closing .

there is no need to change the forums that is my point if it a money thing i have offer free hosting and support 4 the old forums and even will pay 4 the forum upgrade whitch is only 120 buck

and that is a non-partisan offer i want NOTHING !!!!

Dave is right, but more than that give SMF a chance.  It will grow on you, and the structure of the forums and the look should help provide a comfort level.  If you have any questions about forum use please feel free to contact any admin.  We'll be more than happy to help.

We're glad you're here, Tie.  SMF is very fine forum software.  We believe everyone will be happy with it as they learn about it.   :thumbsup:

If you want nothing, why are you so upset?

Taldren as a real dev and not a shadow name for Korean devs is dead, that's a fact.

I like the look of this new forum, it seems slicker then the previous board.

One thing, I seem to have to log back in everytime I leave, even though i selected to stay on forever.

You do realize how much of a pain transferring everything over would be?  Especially since this isnt exactly a TALDREN site directly

Actully, I have the converter, i wrote a merger, launch was planned. The date got moved by a premature announcment and i ended up with no data to import, otherwise your accounts and posts would have been here.

Interesting.  Any plans to redo?  Or not worth mucking around with it to please a random few?

An archive would be fine, but can we keep our post-count?  I didn't change my name so it would be relatively easy to transfer my stats, but if you changed your name and want your data anyway you'd have to tell them I suppose.
I was never here, you were never here, this conversation never took place, and you most certainly did not see me.

Its a problem with the server, there is a soloution, but it makes ugly refresh pages between posts and login etc. Truly disgusting, gonna see if i can find a better soloution first.

Please, God, no.

Didn't Hot & Spicey do enough damage and create enough hard feelings and result in enough bans at Taldren?

Must we revisit what already went sour?

Taldren was never slow for me assuming the server wasnt acting up - which most of the time it wasnt.

I'm on a slow connection...and it took forever for the threads to load up.

However, I have roughly the same load here and It's all done in 30 seconds :).

Taldren's forum was always slow for me, and a tad confusing. Having to pick a post to reply to a thread was very odd.

Yeah...but a reply at the bottum of a thread that adresses someone five posts up can be confusing to...

That actually happened to me, a guy posted something right below my post, and I thought it was aimed at me, and I got mad at the guy for nothing.

Felt REALLY stupid after that happened.

The only complaint I have about this place...I had Taldren show up in white when I signed in...much easier on the eyes...but I don't have that option here.

Otherwise, nice place.

Would it be possible to make it like the UBB threads like Taldrens and have more skins and yes it would if possible to have our old rank and post counts back.This is when you get some time though.I prefer the the UBB infopop That Taldren had.Thanks for listening to our concerns.

Try highlighting the text of posts, the background will be white, with blue type-face, might help.
