Post by: Stryker on March 19, 2003, 12:46:05 PM
Bad news first:

The old forum was in a directory on the web server in the old dmw website folder burried deep in my home directory (still with me?  good).

While tidying up my home folder I deleted the old deadmen website folder.  I mean why do we want that now we have the new website?  well we wanted it cos thats where the forum lived! :-)

The Good news:

I've setup the forum on black-adder now.  We have the latest most shiney version of the forum software too, so once we've recovered the graphics it should be better than before.... .

DMW Peeps, anyone have the old graphics? such as the logo etc?  smite? you did the logo yes?

Post by: Gandalf on March 20, 2003, 01:45:25 PM
I'll be able to install lots of styles and smileys again. However, I think that the avatars are gone, so you will need to upload them again in your profile.

Don't forget to delete the dead one first!

Roll on the new styles and please bring back the "jester" smiley; I feel naked without it.

You can get it (and others) here:

yay I love the forums.  Yes milleniumfalcon is nice, kinda dmw colours.

However one BIG fault.  it needs to do the posters in slight different shades, ie light,dark,light.... makes the thread easier to follow.

It would seem that since the Forum Debacle I am able to delete or edit posts in every forum!

Unless someone addresses this issue quickly I may be forced to add vast amounts of sexually deviant and highly incriminating text to all your posts. You have been warned :!:

You are a member of dMw, therefore have Moderator permissions.

However, if you abuse these permissions you will be kicked by a big ugly rugby player with a size 14 foot.  :D

I've changed it back to how it was.

No offence but having 30 moderators for each section is going too far.

As we've done in the past - if anyone fancies the responsibility of moderating a section then by all means ask.

As way of introduction, and to make things really interesting, my first act shall be to delete every second post in the counterstrike forum ;-)

I would like to thank my agent, my mother, The London Rubber Company (for the clothing), Smite (for the photos) and finally Sheepy for typing this up for me :-)

What's wrong with me then? Why can GFK be controversial and I end up as just a bloody announcement? I demand that I be classed as controversial just like GFK!

Sheesh, I'm gonna have to get round to doing something that will make me controversial. Mmm, let me think? What can I do?
