Oh sorry, I guess I was too happy that the place was backup to actually read what you said. Ah okay, well I hope the missing info from June onward gets recovered eventually. :)

Yeah, we're getting those now.
So I see.

One thing I didn't mention is that we're experimenting with doing away with the new user registration forum. It's a process that we believe might turn potential users away because of how weird of a setup it is.

For those of you who don't remember the new user registration forum was a measure enacted to fight spam bots, it made it so that every single user would have to make a post there proving they are human before they post elsewhere. A mod would come by and activate them at that time.

Now, Rena tells me that she could implement some plugins that would slap down bots immediately. Thereby we wouldn't need the new user registration forum and nobody gets confused.

Whether these plugins prove successful determines if we go with this setup. I'm not sure if they're already in place or not, but if they are already in place it doesn't bode well. I'll talk to Rena about this when I can.

No one told me people were playing Hungry Hungry Hippos! I've never played it and I've always wanted to! :(

"Really the only thing we have left to do is get the URL working right, TLs4 has to redirect the domain if I understand everything correctly."
Whoops, I think I managed to misread that the first time. Thanks.

Ah yes. I've merely posted in a few threads for the past months, but I missed this surprisingly much.
I don't think it will lead to be being more active again, but who knows. I did miss (some of ) you guys.

edit: NO! STOP WHAT YOU ARE DOING RIGHT NOW! My avatar :( I feel so naked. It has been there since day 1. I don't care about my posts. Just this.

edit 2.0: Reuploaded. All is well. The world may continue doing its thing.

This is a joyous moment.

EDIT: Stuffs ain't allowing my signavatar URL for some reason (remote data is corrupted, apparently), which is a shame. Still, it doesn't matter too much since I have all the variations separately available, but not having it rotate is...odd.

Also: My post count is so embarrassingly low.

now I have to scavenge through my cloudapp for my new avatar, thanks zanyhost

Good to see the talkhaus is back up, though! I was worried there, that "server not found" page was starting to get pretty menacing

it also told me bad things

it told me to sign up for 5000 free hours of aol

Oh man the MaGLII talkhaus is back this is the best worst thingest thing ever!

I mean yay talkhaus! I knew keeping it on my bookmarks toolbar right next to my tumblr icon which I kept mixing it up with and constantly arriving at an error page for the past (two?) weeks was worthwhile!

And I pray
Oh my god do I pray
I pray every single day
For restoration!

(No but seriously I have a major history fetish and just losing ~4 months worth of posts like that would be a real bummer for me)
Nonetheless, I'm happy to hear what's been going on from TLs4, and happy to have the Talkhaus back. 's better than nothing!

(Funnily enough, my harddrive died during the blackout as well, so right now, I don't even have anything to use as a profile picture...)

Okay so "menu item" was fixed to have links but Talkhaus needs to be the link on the right again.
I know there's a board index button but I always use the Talkhaus button and I refuse to relearn.

Pffff, board index master race here. I didn't even notice the buttons on the top line thingy until 2011. Also I have no idea what the "menu item" bug actually IS.
Edit: Oh wait you were just referring to that text showing up sometimes. Nevermind.

Glad to see y'all are back, it sucked being reminded every day that the forums were gone whenever I absentmindedly clicked it in my favorites.

Thanks, everyone, for bringing the site back up. Now I can lurk moar =P

Gosh dang, I come back and there's like twenty bots haha.

The system we have in place right now basically locks the bot topics as they post. (Locking the topic also makes it invisible to you guys, so even though the LP forum was overrun with so many bots you never saw it) It would delete them too but we're seeing if we get any false positives. If we don't the system is fool proof and we can just have the bots be dealt with automatically without me having to delete all the locked topics.

Really nifty system~

Got a bit hairy in the morning before we implemented everything but now it's running very smooth.

Thanks to all of you guys!

... I have to say, it feels nice having the good ol' Talkhaus back, even though I've only been part of it for such a short time.
