Read this! - Moving Topics to the New Board ASAP
« on: August 27, 2008, 01:55:48 PM »
Okay. The old forum, due to a virus attack earlier this morning, is going to need to go kablooey. Therefore we need to get all our data we -want- to keep off of there as soon as possible.

Hal has suggested, and I will request, that you throw info into the wiki. Make a topic here as well, if you must, but if we're going to try and make the transition over  there, now's as good of a time as any. I can try and handle formatting all the stuff people throw onto the wiki so long as I'm linked to the page, so don't worry about that. I can do all the renaming/redirecting/all that stuff (maybe with help later, but for now I'm good to go), so just go ahead and transfer it onto there.

Link:

http://www.rpgdl.com/wiki/index.php?title=Stat_Topics

How to transfer:

1) Make an account for the wiki (upper-left corner) and log in.
2) Click "Edit" (top section).
3) Underneath the current text, use this format (include all brackets and |'s);

[[Name of new page|Hypertext you want as link]]

4) Save changes, then click on the link you just made (it should be red).
5) In the new screen, C+P the text, and save the page. There you go!

If people could do this, it'd be greatly appreciated. Thanks, and let's do this as soon as we can so that Hal doesn't have to worry about the old forums giving us more issues, okay?

Oh! One more thing.

Post here to tell everyone else what topics you've got the info from/need to have a mod of the old forums handle due to pictures or formatting, so that we know what else needs to be done.

My own list:

AtL1 (Gourry)
Baldur's Gate (Grefter/Monkey)
Breath of Fire (Meeple/NEB/Twilkitri)

Two quick questions. One, can we save topics that other people made? (seems like a dumb question, but wanna be sure anyway) And two, about how long do we have before the old forums go kablooey?

Sure, since we need them off ASAP and any hands that can help would be appreciated, and...

The deadline isn't a hard one per se, but we kinda want everything off within the next 24/48 hours at the latest, I'd think. Preferably much earlier.

That's fine, those are all your own topics, no?


I mainly want stuff on the wiki for two reasons: 1) Transitioning to doing our work there does make it more available in the long run, rather than burying it all here, and 2) Since we don't have the time to waste for other people to come in and grab their topics, copying it to the wiki lets the contributors to said topics repost their own work.

Oh, whoops, already made a mistake then. >_> Started transferring other people's topics to the board. *shrug* Guess I'll just have to transfer it again to the Wiki.

Eh, worst comes to worst they make the topic again. My fault, I fail at specifications. >_>
