Okay, so I'm somewhat settled in at the new 'partment. Still yarring Wi-Fi but that should change within a week.
Anyhoo, there are two options:
1) Stay with s.net v4.0 and start fresh (well, with what we've got).
2) Revert to s.net v3.0 and lose all posts made since the revert.
I have everything I need to roll back right now (I didn't before) so it's up to you guys; I don't really care which path we take.

oshiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
Well, it's kind of a toss-up for me... Perhaps we should make this a poll?
-
Stay with S.net v4.0. It's much better than v3.0 in my opinion.
-
Whatever is easier for you I guess, I know Christan and Kuro would like it to switch back. I have been enjoying the cesspool section tho.
-
Yeah, I like it how it is now. I don't think we really lost anything major.
-
Yeah, stay with v4.0. It's fine with me, and I see no sense in changing (again D:).
-
Yeah, the new forums are easier to navigate and just... better. I see no reason to switch again.

If spec bring back 3.0, it will be just the same without the stupid fucking retarded bullshit joomla thing.

This is a pretty major decision for the site so I'd rather see more discussion on the topic than just having people tick a selection.

Exactly. Joomla was a separate entity altogether. Even if we roll back to v3.0 it'll keep this interface.
Also, I forgot to mention this before -- if you don't like the purple you can change your theme in your profile. I set it as default because I like how it came out. :)
Finally, bear in mind that even if I were to roll back v3.0, it would most likely follow a similar direction to v4.0 (namely, the rules would be v4.0's, some of the new/modified sections, like the Cesspool, would be added, etc). Really, it would be more about bringing the old content back rather than dramatically changing what they have here.
What I probably should have asked was this: do you guys want all the old posts back?

Well, if there was a way you could click and choose which topics could come or stay, it would be great, but IIRC I don't think you can do that. IMO we've already started, and we have a foundation again, so let's keep this one. However, i would kinda like to see the old version up, for any posts or things I missed
-
The only thing I'd like to see back is my avatar, because I'm too lazy to rehost it :3
Otherwise, I really don't think there's that many topics besides the lame replies thread that we really woud need to archive. Unless I'm forgetting something obvious.
-
I guess i should post here:
I really don't care, I don't see a point in it, since there's not too much, though it would be nice to have Christian's "Photo a day" thread back in one piece.
-
agreed. I'd really like to see that topic. I had really wanted to see it when 3.0 went bai bai
-
Screw it, let's just roll back. We've made about a dozen topics on 4.0 so far, as opposed to the what, hundreds on 3.0? We'll probably just end up (if we haven't already) making the same topics over again.
-
Warn me first, so I can back up my topic in the cesspool.

Sadly, no.
Technically I could weed through the database and manually add the new posts but holy fuck that would be a lot of work. XD The SQL dump being a 14MB text file doesn't make that task sound any more attractive.

Yeah, that's a good idea. Not to mention easy to do, as you well know.
-
Yeah, just have S.net v3.0 as a read-only archive somewhere else on the site and keep v4.0 as we have right now.
-
keep everything we have as of current, current.
im fine with things as is.
hell, if you decide to wipe all topics each month, i honestly wouldn't mind. less old junk to wade through, only current topics.

I think I'm just going to do that. Thanks for the input, peeps. :)
