Why, no data has been lost. It's all still there to be viewed and sifted through for info. I can't see the point of continuing with a buggy forum software just because it's free. Then again, it's probably nothing to do with the actual data.

Ok then.....

 

Just a quick note: The old site is running and operational at: 218.214.97.249 This will be continuing once we decide upon a new domain name. The intent here is to preserve the content of the old site as some of us feel that the 6 odd months of information (and hard work) need not be lost in favour of a new WISYWIG... Best of luck to the new 'admin' here at Aussie Arcade.

 

Vulture,

 

As microwrx has said, how is the info getting lost? People can still access it by clicking on the link.

 

Well Good Luck!

 

Also, the banner will need to be changed or removed since aussiearcade is my trading name which I own.

 

Thanks.

No one has been able access the old site at all, and its effectively locked and you cant access any pages .. Even with my Admin rights i could not view anything at all on it..... So yes its lost...

 

On ya point about yabb, in all truth there is nothing wrong with it, and its not buggy as your refering to, and for the most part has worked great and has done everthing that a typical forum needs, and everyone was pretty happy with it,... all except for a small here minority that wernt happy with it and wanted more useless extra bell and whistle type of features for the site, which most people couldnt be bothered with and dont really make the site any better.....

 

The main reasons we are thinking of continuing with the old site is besides opening it back up so people can access thier old PMs and articles etc etc , is that basically that a few members have asked Vulture and i to keep the site running as they were happy with the old site, and had put alot of work into it and put alot of history into, and didnt want to have to start from scatch all over again with articles and legacies they put on there, and dont agree that the site should of been completly sacrificed for no realy extra benifit or gain, and want to continue using it....

 

There are other reasons also, but i dont wanna get into them, and people will eventually just find out themselves other factors that have been going on behind scenes which most dont know about..

 

I must also clarify here that there is no intention us to be divisional with having the old site still going , and we want both sites to be in partnership and can run together as a colaberation.

 

All the membership accounts on the old site are still there and unchanged , and all moderators are still setup as they were..

 

 

Cheers Russ.... :)

The old forum had just been closed for a few days so that people could find their way to the new site. Nothing has been lost.

 

Any topics that were current on the old forum have been carried on to the new one.

No worries, i had tryed a few times intially after the change over had happened, but havent been back there since, or was told that it had been unlocked again...

 

Not to matter, the old site is fully open and fully functioning on the other server anyways with full access..

 

With the banner Ryan , you'll notice all references to AussieArcade were removed, so no need for the alarm dude :confused: .....

No alarm at all Viper just making sure the sites are not named the same. No need to remove the banner just rename it.

Russ,Feeder,Player2 and all your other multiple personalities Bone picking time.

 

Hi Dude,

 

Hows it goin,

 

Theres been some bad stuff that has been going on behind the scences of the aussie site that not many are aware about, and which you might not be aware of..

 

Would ya have a work number or somthing i can call you on i can fill you in on whats really been happening ??

 

Cheers Russ..

 

cool dude, as long as you know that hes been trying to take over our site and current is holding it to ransom from me and Ryan wont give any of us access to the sites server at all , and then just a few weeks ago actually threatend to nearly delete the whole site. Plus he has also be caught out sifting through the files on the server has been reading other members private PM's , probably including you own, then i guess thats ok...

 

There hasnt been any petty litttle private little bitch fights between Mr P like everyone has been made to think, what really has been happeing is that this guy has actually been screwing the site over big time, and is a dead nazi , worse than any JP you could imaging, and what ive been doing is just trying to stop this....

 

Anyhow dude , if ya wanna find out the real story on whats been happening, as Ryan to a certain point has been gaurding and defending Mr P (which is crazy) and probably hasnt been telling the wholtruth, then give me yell and we can have a chat , as you are one of out main memebers , you should know the truth about whats happeing to our site..

 

 

Cheers Russ..

 

I've just been told you are pming members of the board with such rubbish like this.

Since you want to be a child about the situation time for the REAL truth.

 

As most people who care know this crap started when I made a decision to cull some very large attachments from the old forum to save bandwidth, This was a nessersary change to keep the forum running at peek performance.

Even after people accepted and understood why the choice was made you decided to go to Ryan and have a royal bitch about me, did you even read the peoples comments on that thread?.

You can't have attachments at 10 megs on a forum that is a gross waste of bandwidth, that yabb crap reloads the whole picture everytime the page is refreshed so some of those pics were at 2 megs, NOT ACCEPTABLE!

What you don't think Ryan tell me everything that you say behind my back?

I need to find out if what was going on was true so i went to his pms and low and behold this is what i found amoung other things.

Man Mr P is sooo pissng me off at the moment, he's such a f*cking little c*nt, Ive had it up to here with him..

Russ...

At this point your FTP access was revoked until you spoke to me personally.....which never happend and still hasnt happend ohhh but the bitching continued.... btw folks I never said boo to Russ the whole time this crap was going on just kept my mouth shut.

Then yesterday I get this lovely pm from our multiple personalitied friend.

Mate i had nothing against you up until now, but you have really crossed the line in what you have been up to, when you started to try and take over our website and started doing things and changes to it that you wernt in a position to do.

Just to remind you , me and Ryan are the founders of the site, and you were just given Admin rights by myself just to help with the logistic's of just doing the file transfer a few months ago , and that was it, and since then youve gone and put your nose right through the site, and intending on taking it over....

To top this all off you have now taken our website hostage and will not give me or Ryan the FTP passwords.., and have also threatend to us that you are going to delete the whole site ..

You were also caught reading members PM's on the server which weve known about for awhile now which i not on at all..

I was happy to just let this all pass, and not make any mention of it on the board of what you have been up to if you had let us get the passwords back, but you have drawn the line and have abused our website, and if you do not co-operate with me and Ryan by the end of today, and dont give back our control of the weboste, then its all on and shit will be hitting the fan, and what you have been up to will be exposed, and your membership banned..

If you let us get back control of our site by today, we will put everything that happend here under carpet, and no memberships will be banned, and no one will find out whats been going on , and we all have a happy life..

Its your call...

Russ,..

 

Few facts for you bucko

1.Hostage WTF? Ryan has full admin access to this site which is more than what you gave him on the old one mr powertripper.

2.The domain and Vbulletin licence are both in his name and paid for by him, it was his choice to move to VB for the further growth of this community.

 

You seem to forget It was me who got that forum up and running on the new hosting and took me hours of work fixing all your setup errors.

Lets not forget the exmember bug that took me a hour just to convince you about.

I had to spent hours going through each members files to fix the caps bug.

Oh and then theres the caps log in bug where you would have to log in with proper caps ALL BUGS IN YABB. Funny how they went away after the upgrade to the final version but you chose to blame all the problems on the server. Yes children I also upgraded the forum twicewith your blessing mind you don't make me pull up the msn logs.

 

I have been sitting in the background just putting up with your crap for the last two weeks but you and your human buttplug Vulture have gone way too far.

This forum is about keeping arcade alive and to give people choice, not ramming what you want down their throat.

You had a chance to get on board with this and play a important role in this new site instead you decided to be selfish and self centered.

 

My sincere apologies to the rest of the forum, I did not want this to explode like this but enough is enough, the people who know me know im straight down the line and will twist myself in knots to help others in which I did for Russ.

 

Viper and Vulture have both been banned, this two faced back stabbing power tripping bullshit will not be tolerated, I didnt tolerate it from "That Guy" and I certainly wont tolerate it from you.

You were lucky I was man enough to zip up the old forum and up it for you to download.

You insulted me you have insulted Ryan and my good friend who hosts this site, not forgetting my integrity.

Time to go kick the shit out of Bonus Kun in WakuWaku 7 to blow off some steam.

Thanks goes out to Nick for showing me what was going on in personal messages today your a good mate.

and thanks to the guys who have supported me through this rough trot

Cheers

Travis

All this really has started from nothing. I think the decision made originally to cut the 10meg attachment was a straight forward one that nobody could argue with. And the support on that thread really backed that up. We were lucky enough to get hosting, and 10meg attachments is just an abuse of it.

 

Mr peabody has done nothing wrong. All decisions made were joint decisions with ryan. He's not payed to admin this forum, yet he has spend many hours setting up and making changes. I know this from being in contact with both of them every step of the way.

 

The decision to move to a new forum in the long run will definately benefit the community. VB is a huge improve over yabb, i don't think anyone can argue with that. Ryan has funded the change over and we have to be grateful for that. No information has been lost during the change over and all posts can still be accessed through http://www.aussiearcade.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl

 

I serioulsy wish it hadn't all come to this, but i guess at the end of the day some people can't play nicely. I don't believe things should be said behind peoples back, if someone has something to say they should come out and say it. I feel that some of the comments made about Mr P were totally unwarrented. I have dealt with many times and i find him to be one of the most honest people going around. I don't trust many people, but he's definately one of the people i do and have a lot of respect for. He's been portrayed as a criminal and he has done absolutely nothing wrong. Worse yet he wasn't even given the opportunity to respond because everything was said behind his back.

 

At the end of the day all everyone is looking for is a place we can post without fear of our messages being edited and deleted like at arcade 80's and aussiearcade is definately the place for free speech as no-one here has motives to rip people off like JP. We are all just games enthusits and not operators looking to off load dodgy products.

This forum is about sharing information and would not exist with out the backing of Ryan and the efforts of a few. It can be a thankless job much like some committees I have been on.

 

So thank you to all who put the effort in.

 

If we get bogged down in arguments we will never talk about our real interest, our passions and our toys

 

Can I suggest we close this thread and move on

I agree with Virgil.

 

Look at the end of the day i don't care what people think of me or others. BUT they should atleast have the decency to come straight out and say it rather then pussying around behind peoples back. It's an old expression but a goodie, 'if you've got something to say, say it to my face' lol

 

I don't think i have ever done anything to upset anyone on this forum, but if i ever had done something, i really hope they would come to me about it first before attempting to ruin my reputation behind my back. I'm really quite nice and i don't bite :)

 

In the end this has all just exploded in a way they it need not have.

You are all wrong. This forum was ORIGINALLY created for one reason and one reason only. To piss JP off as much as possible. It just had the added benefit of being somewhere everyone else could go and share/communicate without having to worry about stepping on poor John's toes and having your posts deleted by the mysterious 'hacker'. You are all making big deals out of total bullshit.

 

Russ, get over youself. You were originally hosting the site and helped Ryan set it all up. Thanks for that but it doesn't mean you own it or have any ownership rights to it. Your ADSL connection wasn't 100% reliable and an offer was accepted to get the site somewhere that was reliable. As Trav owns that space he controls it and as he has the necessary experience your further assistance was no longer required. Doesn't mean your input wasn't or isn't appreciated and you can't still be a contributing member of the forum like the rest of us.VBulletin shits over YaBB and it was Ryan's choice to pay the cash and go down that road. Just because Trav preferred it that way too doesn't mean shit.

 

Trav, you are no angel in this either. I have no issue whatsoever with you being the sole administrator of the server, or changing the attachment file size limit or archiving time period. Checking other peoples PM's though just isn't right regardless of what you turn up. Thier called PM's for a reason. That being said Russ' behind the scenes attempts to undermine the forum were shown up by it but the end doesn't justify the means.

 

Grow up the fucking lot of you and sort it out. There is no reason for this bullshit and I don't give a fuck really. This site is going to remain and Trav will remain the sole administrator of THE SERVER. Ryan is an admin in the forum (and remember, he owns the domain and can point it wherever the fuck he likes).

 

Why stick with Windows 95 when someone has offered you XP at no cost. Because your familiar with it and are a stubborn prick, not a good enough reason in my opinion. There will be no affiliation between the sites if the other one goes ahead. It's a total waste of time when the archive of the old forum is still here and accessible.

 

Fair dinkium you are not fucking 10 year olds!

Thread Closing and Will Be DELETED!!

 

Guys,

 

I agree with Virgil on this one. What has been said has been said now we should move on. I am dissapointed with Russ that he has now gone behind my back but anyway it is water under the bridge.

 

Lets now get back to talkin arcade and crap in general.
