TWC Today News / TWCT/TWCC Forums Merge set on schedule for April 4th

« on: March 27, 2010, 10:42:11 AM »

From every angle I am seeing, and with Martin and Matt's approvals and concerns taken care of, we are ON SCHEDULE to start the user merge on Sunday, April 4th. Here is a breakdown of what will happen, basically, from my end:

- There are 540-some users to merge in to the current SMF board.
- All users will have to be merged in one by one manually.
- All TWCC users that are merged in will have a "TWCC_" prefixed to their current username.
- The merge shouldn't take more than a day or two, but could take up to a full week.
- The forums will be LOCKED and inaccessible during this merge. They could be down for a few days, but could take up to a full week. I will not unlock the forums mid-merge. It causes too many problems and possible member number collisions.

As I have stated before, If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Yes, the "chat" that we all know and love (lol) will be alive during this merge. The link is accessible here, if you would like to add this URL to your bookmarks. I hope that everyone is ready, and I hope you all understand why the forums will be inaccessible for this merge.

Once again, if you all have any questions, comments, concerns, suggestions, insults, etc, feel free to post them here, or contact any member of Administration or myself personally.

Happy foruming!

So, how again is the STAR team going to be involved under this? Are they going to have their own section here like they do now on TWCC?

Technically they already do

They both came out at the same time...

No, they did not. The Droid came out on November 6, 2009... The Nexus One came out on January 5, 2010.

For those of you who do emulations... anyone know of a good screen recorder? Debut and CamStudio seem to crash on me every time I record the emulator (yes, I'm trying to get back into my emulations after a long time). I could really use something new. 

Hypercam works for me

Okay.. lemme try that first. I also appreciate another suggestion. 

Is that the new Nexus phone? because my dad bought his last week and loves it

*cough* Motorola Droid *cough cough COUGH*

IMO, the motorola droid is just another carbon copy of othe nexus. I mean the design is kinda funny if you look at it

You do know the Droid came first, right?

What did you do to the mobile version of the site (wap2)? Every single link keeps taking me to the full version of the forums, which is horrendous on mobile phones and laggy... Please fix it.

AS I have already stated, all TWCC accounts are going to be imported with a TWCC_ prefix on them to avoid merge conflicts. Once done, then I'll go through and delete the duplicates and users can change the usernames if they wish... since I'm not merging posts, this shouldn't be a difficult feat to accomplish.

So, is the merger going to happen, or are we still not sure yet? If so, I'll need to speak to Martin privately regarding some issues when he gets the chance.

The merger is on schedule and set to start on the night of April 4th. I don't know how long it will take, seeing as how I have to manually do the import one by one, and there are 543 users to import. I'll keep you all updated.

I honestly know nothing about this bill, thus I unfortunately do not know how it affects me in any way. This is sad.
