The Lurker Lounge will be moving to a content-management system in order to facilitate multiple admins better, allow content authoring (i.e. if you own a strategy guide, you can log in and edit it on the server at any time without knowing a lick of HTML and without needing an admin to do it), and make it a HECK of a lot easier for people to run the site and post news. The current system has people editing HTML by hand and it's a bit much to ask.
This will likely take weeks. The site should operate normally during that time, but if something does need to go down, the forum should be unaffected.

Hi,
The site should operate normally during that time
The newest jet liner cockpits are designed for a crew consisting of a man and a dog. The man's job is to sit there and talk to the air traffic controllers. The dog's job is to bite the man if he tries to touch any of the controls. :)
Best wishes for a smooooooth transition.

Take off and landing, and when things go wrong.
That is why there is a man in the loop. Dogs at least don't cheat on their wives with stewardesses, don't get drunk before the flight is supposed to take off, and don't form labor unions. However, their ability to make clever witticisms over the PA system and to argue with controllers about whose slot time they are trying to crowd into.
Cheers.

Sounds neat! But if the forum goes down, shouldn't we have some sort of backup? I know [bI[/b] get withdrawals if I don't check the Lounge a few times a day.
Will you be sticking with the same forum or are you planning to change that as well?
While you're at it, could you do something about the ";)"-smilie? It looks like a Human Genome Project gone seriously, seriously wrong.

Remember what happened at diabloii.net not so very long ago?...
You may delude yourselves, but it can happen here. :ph34r:

I have been helping out with the webpage for the place I intern at, and as far as I can tell, converting the site like you are wanting should not be that hard, but it is a good idea! :) Good luck!

The forum shalt not changeth. It is good. Unless something better doth come around.
What's wrong with ;) ?

It's just that he looks like he's having a seizure, which is not the intended meaning of the smilie.
Additionally, ;) is also quite similar to <_< .. I'd make a smilie myself if I wasn't horribly, horribly incompetent :P

They had full backups at dii.net, too. Unfortunately, all the backups were corrupt. :blink:

Refactoring is fun.
Unfortunately my colleagues at work have removed my delete key ... for now :P
