Fern Modena TUG Member Posts: 7772 From: Southern Nevada Registered: Dec 2000	posted 05-01-2005 15:22 Any update on the "New" Bulletin Board? Here's how I feel about our current BBS: Fern ------------------ Fern Modena ŠMy words are my own, please don't use them without my permission. IP: Logged
Makai Guy Administrator TUG Volunteer Posts: 5509 From: Aiken, SC Prefer to be: Hawaii Registered: Dec 2000	posted 05-01-2005 18:36 Based upon input from this thread, we'll just start over from scratch with the new board. Everybody will have to register anew. The message base will not be moved into the new board, although moderators can manually copy significant threads they wish to retain into new threads on the new board. The board you are reading now will be kept available in read-only status as a reference. We've installed the latest version of vBulletin (as opposed to the much older version we had installed because it was the last one that gave us the possibility to convert the current message- and userbases over). Unfortunately, that meant we lost all the customizations we had put into the older version to make it look and feel much like the old familiar TUG board. I've just about got it back to where it needs to be, plus some nice enhancements. The bbs staff is playing with it right now to learn how to do their moderation and maintenance duties. We got bit by the timing on my new house, or we'd probably be making the switch over in a few days. We start doing our cross-town move this week, and I won't be available for support to the extent I'd need to be when starting up the new board. We should be able to start the new board up before the end of May. ------------------ Doug Wilson, "The Makai Guy" Email me TUG Volunteer Coordinator & BBS Administrator My websites: North Shore Kauai and Yellowstone 2003 Photo Gallery IP: Logged

Nancy TUG Member Posts: 594 From: Registered: Dec 2000	posted 05-02-2005 15:23 You mean I have to be Maverick? Nancy IP: Logged
maverick TUG Member Posts: 958 From: Long Island, NY Registered: Aug 2001	posted 05-02-2005 15:28 "Nancy" is a very special name for me because I was often called that as a kid. I didn't become maverick until much later in life. I know they're expecting a lot of "maverick" requests so they may have to hold a lottery. ------------------ "In the days of my youth, I was told what it means to be a man, Now I've reached that age, I've tried to do all those things the best I can."

I would be bad if people started using others user names. I'm afraid there is no way to protect against this. About all we can do is rely on an honor system and trust that people won't deliberately mess somebody else up. I guess that WILL put a premium on registering as soon as possible after the new board is opened for business. ------------------ Doug Wilson, "The Makai Guy" Email me TUG Volunteer Coordinator & BBS Administrator My websites: North Shore Kauai and Yellowstone 2003 Photo Gallery IP: Logged

Kel TUG Member Posts: 611 From: So. Calif. / Desert Springs Marriott II Registered: Dec 2000	posted 05-06-2005 14:44 [Kel- I've deleted your post, as it constitutes direct criticism of another poster. I know you mean well, and I do appreciate the support you were trying to give TUG and its volunteers, but this still is not appropriate on this board. If you wish to express your displeasure with this poster directly, her email address is available - just click on the EMAIL icon at the top of any of her posts. Doug Wilson, a.k.a.

Kel TUG Member Posts: 611 From: So. Calif. / Desert Springs Marriott II Registered: Dec 2000	posted 05-06-2005 19:08 OK... One more last post... Done with TUG and the moderators I just defended in my post that was deleted. I know no one will care, but that's it for me and my $15 a year. Kel IP: Logged
Makai Guy Administrator TUG Volunteer Posts: 5509 From: Aiken, SC Prefer to be: Hawaii Registered: Dec 2000	posted 05-07-2005 05:21 Kel - the point is that personal criticism of another poster is not permitted. That you were trying to defend TUG and its volunteers truly is appreciated, but it still constitutes personal criticism. The rules still apply, even when coming to the defense of TUG. I'm sorry if you feel you must leave, but that's strictly your call. I'm hopeful you'll change your mind after the passion of the moment has passed. I emailed you a full explanation at the time of the original deletion, but apparently the email address listed for your bbs account is no longer valid as it bounced back. Since discussion of moderation that is applied to this thread is off-topic, please feel free to continue any discussion of it via email. bbsadmin@tug2.net ------------------ Doug Wilson, "The Makai Guy" Email me TUG Volunteer Coordinator & BBS Administrator My websites: North Shore Kauai and Yellowstone 2003 Photo Gallery IP: Logged

It's always been that way. When what you want to communicate is personal criticism, you are not permitted to post it to the board, so direct email is your recourse. If a few people had followed this in the past, they could have avoided having their posting privileges suspended. ------------------ Doug Wilson, "The Makai Guy" Email me TUG Volunteer Coordinator & BBS Administrator My websites: North Shore Kauai and Yellowstone 2003 Photo Gallery [This message has been edited by Makai Guy (edited 05-08-2005).] IP: Logged

The few times I look at it the topic seem to be about "travel?" Survivor results or similar. Quite frankly the Lounge has looked like a place to deposit irrevalant topics. sorry, not for me. Too much specific information under other topics. IP: Logged
