Yeah, this isn't exactly the right forum to be on for intentionally prodding people...
Discuss constructed languages, cultures, worlds, related sciences and much more!

Yeah ik, I only started doing it after he said "are you idiot" because it was just hilarious. I think the novelty has worn off though, so...Dormouse559 wrote: ↑02 Feb 2020 20:03I didn't know this needed to be said, but the Romanization game rules are permissive to promote creativity, not so you can take advantage of them for flamebait.

Because it's in response to something posted in the Forum News thread (which you can't post in, hence we have this thread for posting responses to it), I suppose. Now, said news item was in response to something that happened in yet another thread, which in turn is what's actually being talked about here. Not that it should be that much of anyone else's concern, apart from the involved parties and the board administration.Khemehekis wrote: ↑04 Feb 2020 13:33 I don't understand why Qwed posted it in this thread. (Not that I have any clue what all of you are talking about, but . . .)
Uh, I have no conscious memory of knowing about the downtime (probably because I was too busy last week to really check the board, so I missed Ossicone's notification on it), so if I mentioned it in public at some point... I guess I must have entered one of my mystic clairvoyant trances again? Damn, I thought I had that stuff under control.
Well, it's working at this point.
No, it was Ossicone, lol. I misremembered, probably through busy-induced tirednessXonen wrote: ↑05 Mar 2020 15:41Uh, I have no conscious memory of knowing about the downtime (probably because I was too busy last week to really check the board, so I missed Ossicone's notification on it), so if I mentioned it in public at some point...

Yeah, the search function appears to be working now.Dormouse559 wrote: ↑05 Mar 2020 18:32Well, it's working at this point.
Not sure how much there is to talk about. New domain, same interface. I knew about the downtime because I saw Ossicone's post. I didn't know there'd be a move. That's about it for me.

Is there a particular reason why it has been moved to this new domain? Plans to bring down aveneca.com? I noticed that the main page of aveneca.com was taken down two years ago or so, but I'm still using some of the resource pages like the X-SAMPA -> IPA converter...
The short version is that our longtime host decided to treat us like shit (which is why half the posts are still missing), which prompted me to find a new one. The old domain was originally planned to be something different than simply a place for the forum, but that didn't end up being the case, so when we moved to the new host, I decided to get a new domain that highlighted the forum better.Ser wrote: ↑12 Mar 2020 20:39Xonen wrote: ↑05 Mar 2020 15:41Uh, I have no conscious memory of knowing about the downtime (probably because I was too busy last week to really check the board, so I missed Ossicone's notification on it), so if I mentioned it in public at some point...

Oh, I see. I wonder if the post data on the database backup could be posted publicly, with all personal data stripped off? At the ZBB, we're currently making efforts to do that with what remained of the old forum's database.Aszev wrote: ↑15 Mar 2020 11:43The short version is that our longtime host decided to treat us like shit (which is why half the posts are still missing), which prompted me to find a new one.

The old site will eventually be taken down, but I'll make sure to move the IPA converter over, as people are still using it. I'll make a post when that's done
