Ah. I see. I hadn't read any of the previous posts in this thread. Now I've read like 5 of them.

Hello from POG (the Puzzles and Other Games subforum).

A large game of werewolf (also known as mafia) is planned to start there on April 27. It should last a week or so. If the migration happens while the game is ongoing, the game will probably not be able to continue.

Would it be possible for the admins to give us at least a two weeks notice (instead of the week which we got this time) of the migration date before said migration actually happens?

I see less content on my 1920x1200 screen than with the old forum on my cellphone, reminds me of the new Skype a couple years back

The esthetics also - meh. Are millennials supposed to like this? I must be getting old haha

If handing over Mat's wife to the oreo is what it takes to make the new forum look indistinguishable from the existing forum, I'm ready to make that sacrifice.

If money is an issue, start a GoFundMe. You'll easily hit any target you need just by including screenshots of what was originally planned, or indicating that Mat is currently in charge of the move.

Another option is book sales. While only a tiny fraction of the folks here still poker, if you get Mason to write a book titled "How buying this book will result in 2p2 hiring gregorio to save the forum" it would probably sell out in <48 hours. I already know how that book ends but would still buy it, as would many others. Also allows TBTP to have a scapegoat if those godawful twitch/fb post sharing buttons somehow make it thru the transition.


Spoiler:
even if Chuck or someone else is actually in charge it's still Mat's fault

Several threads that have been made to disappear in the past are back on the test site. Anyone have any recommendations for entertaining reads in these days of quarantine? I tried to find Sgt RJ's buttsex thread, but I'm afraid it is really and truly gone. Sad.

it seems that the search is much weaker, and you can't search within a thread either - could be a good thing as usually meant as an "i told you so"

Thanks a lot for postponing the migration. It shows you guys really value the community input.

The preview reminds me of a old forum my runescape clan threw together with a default template and very little effort maybe ~10 years ago now.
Also somewhat reminds me of reddit with a very temporary default layout that is hard to navigate or checkout threads that are ongoing as everything looks the same.


Would be very curious on an expansion on how this is a 'forced' change with no other options available. I assume it's not a money thing because I am sure a forum this big could throw up a little donate link to hit the monthly cost total or w.e no problem.


Edit:

Looking at boba's test thread on there, there is no youtube or twitter option ? Will not have a built in hand history converter either ?

  • Being unable to collapse left-hand navigation. Lots of subforums I'm not interested in seeing.
  • No separation between sections (i.e, the nav and content just kind of run together on the white background).
  • Same between posts, contain each one more obviously
  • No "go to first new post" (the little 'plus sign' icon) link
  • Unclear how to to more advanced things when posting like youtube links

Just initially. It's too hard to read to get into more details than that.

I'm sure that some of this is getting it styled up, and it will improve over time.

If so that will completely kill POG. I get it's a Poker forum and I have no stats to back this up but surely POG is historically one of the biggest subs and drives a lot of the volume?

Also - will all threads/post be migrated? IIRC, last time this happened, only posts with activity within the last x number of years were moved, so we had to bump "important" threads with no activity for a while?

Looking at the examples, it's certainly possible: https://forums.xamarin.com/categories/xamarin-forms https://forums.digitalspy.com/discussions https://community.acer.com/en
