Forum issues: word from TGR HQ

[Mod Team]

Yo maggots, please bear with the forum issues!

Contact has been made with the mothership. We laughed, we cried, it was better than cats.

Seriously, we explained that the forum has been pretty jacked lately and seeming to be in a downward spiral for a while, and that the maggot community was worried and wanted to do what we could to make the forums thrive again. We were told -- these are direct quotes with very minor editing and some cut/pasting -- that "we want to solve this problem and we are committed to the forums. We are making an upgrade to the main site currently and want to address the bigger picture forum issues asap. It would be great to have an option if we were to migrate. The other thing I was thinking of is hiring a vb expert during the main site upgrade and taking measures to fix them during that time and have legit ongoing support.

We are hoping to start the major overhaul to the main site in 2-4 weeks. It will be a 4-5 month process. I am not sure exactly what stage of this the forums will be addressed, but it should be a few times along the way as there will need to be things that are undone, retired together, etc.

Let's try to put together some options and work on a better solution."

So, we have seen XenForo mentioned as one possible forum software option, perhaps there are others. For those who have expertise in this area or experience with other forum software, please PM us or post in this sticky in the Padded Room or Ski/Snowboard (so we don't have to read 9 threads to put the ideas together).

Thanks for your patience and let's keep this going. It's gonna be HUDGE!

i donno man... cats was pretty damned good.

XenForo

As a forum admin in another forum who switched to XF, this is the way.
Forums as a whole are dying, but XF is growing, grabbing a larger slice of a smaller pie.
The transition should be relatively painless and support is pretty good too.

Normally to get permission you would post pics of your wife’s tits, but currently the photo uploader is fubar.

Why do you need to create a new thread? There are thousands of threads already in Tech Talk, pick the closest one to your skis and post away.

Site has been down off and on for days. Not sure if a fix is still being pursued, but there is a more robust discussion on the site collapse over in the Padded Room if anyone with keys to this place cares to look.

[Danno]

They keep getting told the site is fucked, we keep getting told that they are working on both the short and long term fixes. Is anyone confident in that answer? Shrug.

[BmillsSkier]

[Supermoon]

Their main site is totally fucked as well, so it's probably a bigger systems issue. As someone who has done big website builds in the past I am happy to provide two to three hours of service in exchange for a like button.

posting to this very important thread (subscribing is mort) so I (he, him, his) can continue to embrace my assimilation with my tribe even after I am deported . I defer to the literati of this soulful community to succeed

[kamtron]

So the forum works again?

You guys emailing/ messaging TGR corporate is the best way to get this remedied. They appear to listen more when it’s from the customer

[Toadman]

Just posting in this thread just because I can.
