:fa_bullhorn: The sound of AN ANNOUNCEMENT BEING MADE (or: Request for Comments: Comments)
-
The final migration step will happen starting at 11:00 EST on 2016-03-19.
It is expected to take less than 4 hours. During this time, the front page and the forum will be inaccessible or read-only. After the process is complete, the forum will be running NodeBB and the front page will have its own commenting system separate from the forum.

Yayyyand the front page will have its own commenting system separate from the forum.
Boooo
-
so... according to your previous announcement that litters the forum and the current announcement I am reypling to, everything we post in the next 11 days will not be kept?
Filed Under: This is the worst migration I have seen so far!
-
No, if you post something it gets kept. If you edit something that was already on the forum when the backup was taken, it won't re-import the edits.
-
Ohhhhh....
Filed Under: Second worst migration I have seen so far!
Actually, @aliceif, please pin that announcement, too! Not everybody reads this topic
-
TIL we're in a death spiral and that all of us can disappear to turn this place into a two poster forum.
Hmm. They say hell is sharing eternity with your friends, sounds like the rest of us are preventing Blakeyrat from being in a purgatory with just him and @dhromed. Or possibly, we're saving dhromed from that fate...
-
Actually, @aliceif, please pin that message, too! Not everybody reads this topic
Can the actual message be pinned and not just the giant title? Especially in mobile...
https://what.thedailywtf.com/t/love-the-design/55157
Even if you could add some CSS to make the pinned quote's title not wrap, so it's a max of 1 line and can't take up the whole quote...
-
Or @aliceif could just copy the text of the post instead of quoting it.
-
Or @aliceif could just Jeff your posts into a new topic and pin that one!
Filed Under: Also, we should totally mention @aliceif in every post now as if she was the only mod/admin around
-
They say hell is sharing eternity with your friends
Yeah, but all his mates were French.
-
That may be, Lister, but it doesn't change the way things will be here.
Worse, actually, because three would be left - no chance the Fox would leave...
-
Oh by the way @Lorne_Kates, if you want your space back, an admin can give it to you after the migration is done.
Can I get a space added to the end of my name?
-

Hey! That's no way to talk about my Acca- oh, you're talking about the other Fox... carry on ;)
-
I'll try that.
-
Does your 3D printer have sensitive feelings or something?
Trigger warnings for everyone!
-
If I meant to mention Accalia, I would say so. ;) But an eternity of that particular echo chamber truly would be hell.
-
We'll print them when @Luhmann's finished printing dildos
-
@boomzilla, @PJH, @abarker, @Yamikuronue, @aliceif
Maybe we should jeff the announcement in https://what.thedailywtf.com/t/fa-bullhorn-the-sound-of-an-announcement-being-made-or-request-for-comments-comments/54231/601?u=aliceif (+ replies) to a separate topic and pin that globally?
-
I would suggest copying instead of Jeffing to preserve historical context.

Never!

No, you're not that vacuous and empty headed.

Somehow I miss the old logout hack on CS.

Abso-fucking-lutely, as far as I am concerned.

I don't miss it at alas9dfy8d7syfc98dsasd98f7a$#$##30990.... NO CARRIER

You can't take a grab from Kindergarten Cop (or perhaps Twins, or possibly Junior) and put a quote from Predator on top of it. WTF. That breaks all rules of meme-ing.
-
If I ever remember where I found that image, I'll pass that message onto the creator

Yes, but it can only be zero characters long.
-
The image is Kindergarten Cop.
-
Ignore this post, I need it for something.
-
Is it because I complained about the header-icon on nodeBB?
Filed Under: I complain a lot!
-
You can thank @abarker for it.
-
Thank you, @abarker, for making @ben_lubar make a post I replied to asking whether he made that post because I complained!
Filed Under: I am very good at thanking people (and complaining)
-
-
Did @dhromed leave because of Discourse?
No.
I thought he left because he was making an epic sandwich.
Eh, close enough.

the forum will be running NodeBB and the front page will have its own commenting system separate from the forum.
So, if I hear this right:- The forum is going to run another abomination of a forum, which looks almost like the current abomination of a forum, complete with infiniscroll, but different
- This new shit is like the old shit, except instead of a database it runs on mongodb which is like diarrhea icing on a cake of shit
- On top of that, the front page will have another comment system. Maybe complete with another set of usernames.
I see you actually grew to like whips, latex, harsh mistresses, and being hurt and humiliated. I see you grew to love the Eternal Migration Process, and Destination is boring to you.
I wish you fucking luck with that, because you're going to need every bit of it.
P. S. Suppose the only user base that stays here are going to be gawkers curious to see how it all ends.
P. P. S. Congrats on making TDWTF a representative example of itself. May I suggest you rename it to The Eternal WTF. Whatever.
-
The forum is going to run another abomination of a forum
Nope.
This new shit is like the old shit
Except the developers are actually normal people and aren't @wood, which is easily both the biggest problem with Discourse and the cause for the other problems...Maybe complete with another set of usernames.
Nope, it'll be linked to the NodeBB forum account...
-
Nope.
Except the developers are actually normal people
If I got a nickel for every reply like that in my life that "this time it's gonna be different" I'd probably be a rich sonofabitch with a real computer.
-
Look, since people complained about keeping Discourse up to date, the only way to get a new set of bugs is migrating to a different system.
Filed Under: True story!
-
complete with infiniscroll
that each user can turn off individually
See? That's all anyone asked for.

I think this got lost in the noise.

I think this got lost in the noise.
I've bookmarked it to put up after the current banner has been up for a day or two. We need to make sure that everyone gets a chance to see the current stuff.
-
Yeah, but we've actually had interactions with them already and it's seemed quite positive.
-
On second thought, I'll put up a new banner. One minute ...
-
I refuse.

-
Good job... but can you make it fa-spin?
