Lemur

Looking forward to the new forum. Thanks, Lia.

S. Leon

@Lia -- Absolutely stunning! I am impressed with what you have done, and with what you are attempting to do!

Lia

@Lemur @S-Leon Thank you so much for the support and faith to do this.
Happy to have our own space back, reddit is nice but a bit busy and limited in functionality.

Let me know if you spot anything that isn't quite right or you would like tweaking :) In the meantime I'll continue salvaging the old one.

I'll probably set the account registration to "Admin Approval" soon as to avoid bots from plaguing the site.

HorsePlay

@lia -- This site is surprisingly similar to the retired official one! Wow!

THANK YOU!!

Lia

@horseplay Welcome :)

The old one ran on NodeBB which is opensource forum software so I was able to install it too and tweak it to match. Happy to hear it feels just like it used to :D

Lia

Guess who got the leaderboard embedded :D

I did want to extract the tables and put Daystreak/Mileage side by side but it doesn't look like I can specify a table in iframe.

HorsePlay

@lia Oh, that is so neat! Having it as right side border of the Wall of Stoke category seems like a good place.

So ... the big (BIG!) question ... how far have you gotten restoring the monster Leaderboard thread? ;-)

Lia

@horseplay That's what I thought, seemed like a good place to have it :)

Funny you mention that, this Sunday along with my normal leaderboard updates I was looking at posting all the old weekly updates on a new "Watching action on the leaderboard" topic under Wall of Stoke.

I have copies of all the ones I did separate from the archiving project so can upload those. Will figure a clean way of doing it so it's not a long tedious list of images.

@lia omg this is AMAAAAAZING -- thank you so much for all the work. Reddit is good for some things, but not this thing. : )

i missed all of you!

Lia

@franko My pleasure, losing the forum made things a lot less enjoyable and I missed seeing everyone ~~here~~ there </3

I only managed to reach out to a few people I could remember the usernames of on reddit. If there's anyone not here feel free to give them a poke if you have their contact :)

Just to note I've set the forum to admin approval for signup to avoid bot's invading the forum.
While archiving I came across a number of posts suggesting the old one was plagued by it early on which probably prompted FM to introduce the same measure.

i think that's a good idea. outside of the FM forum, i didn't have any contact with anyone else, sadly -- i never expected it to go away, being the official one and all that... sigh

Me either, was genuinely shocked. I'd already considered it might have been a possibility a few days after it hadn't come out of maintenance but it still hit hard when it was confirmed.

I'll try to keep my eyes alert to a tall fellow (6ft5guy?) floating along the San Diego coastal areas ...

I've never moderated a forum before

Please be sure to reach out if you wish extra hands. You may discover that a forum could (not certainly ... but possibly) take over 200% of your time.

I offer to help, if needed, where needed.

Lia

@horseplay Thanks for the offer :)

I have been considering asking if anyone would like a moderation role just in case it's needed and I'm not around. I see why sysadmins are always glued to a screen.
