Testament has resigned as an admin here.

The current roster therefore is Derp, Mietze, and myself.

If you are accessing from the IP because the domain isn't pointing to the new site yet, you can help speed up the process with this:

chrome://net-internals/#dns <-- this does half the trick (if you're like me using Brave, just replace chrome with brave and it works. not sure about non-chromium browsers
ipconfig /flushdns (Windows) or sudo dscacheutil -flushcache; sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder (Mac) <-- this does the other half of the trick from a command prompt

@faraday said in General MSB announcements:

Having a discord for a message forum seems oddly redundant.

Well, given that the idea was 'we have no way to communicate with the Gods of MSB outside of MSB itself if something goes wrong with MSB', the redunancy part was intentional. 🙂 The idea is to have some other line of communication.

Ares forums might be a good call.

The only cure for that headache is to just join all the WoD games and

smol birb scream

for mummies and/or sky pirates.

It seems all fora hidden behind groups are being shown regardless. I can see the politics posts, for instance.

@ganymede friday killer kill

@derp said in Flincher14 banned:

writes down note to self: Cancel GoFundMe for Mietze Boob Job.

I'll need that $69 back.

@l-b-heuschkel And as an explanation, it dovetails with an apology and an honest attempt to better monitor oneself... or removal from the situation, whichever is deemed better for one's mental health.

@ganymede 9PM treats are an option. For bagged robot cats. Or cats who stare at you because they know what time it is, and they know you know too.

@moth so it has been there for ~days~ and I am ~ruining it~ but the little summary on the front page was just "nudes" and that made me laugh.

So you may notice quicker bans when someone acts or shows tells of a previously banned user. Usually when that happens their posts may be moved to the circular file.

I always ask Gany to review posts/users i make an in the moment decision to ban, so I hope that's reassuring generally.

A MUSH for special education students.

Well, uh, that's not a sentence I ever thought I'd read in any sort of MU pitch/advertisement. Jesus.

technically i'm not sure any of that qualified as a 'sentence'

I think you can count the number of posts where Chet has given something resembling an actual sentence that is understandable on one hand.

I am posting here because I think we need to add at least one more admin to our team.

Right now, I have been put in charge of setting policy and managing the place, generally. Mietze is another admin with similar authority. Arkandel remains an admin solely because he's the fellow with the knowledge and capability to upgrade the platform (nodeBB) from his end. That means we have two admins charged with management.

I think we need a third admin with policy and management authority here. I am looking for a veteran member here to help out. We are not looking for a "yes" person; we are looking for someone we can work with. I personally am looking for someone with familiarity with nodeBB management (that would take Arkandel out of the picture, which he wants) but I would be happy for anyone willing to serve as another set of eyes.

PM me if interested..

GLORY TO LAWYER CATBOTOPIA!

There was an issue with the redis service (our database) last night which caused downtime. I think I got the root cause, but I'll continue to monitor things.
