@ganymede You banned @Kanye-Qwest for calling you a thumb, though I do believe she said "fucking thumb" and then you give warnings here about "continuing to personally attack". Your application of your own rules are so uneven that is it even any wonder that people like @RightMeow, who doesn't seemed involved in any way, is still TIPTOEING around in their responses for fear of a ban?

I didn't really want to respond because I didn't want to provide any more oxygen to this last gasp as I was, at one point, an admin too. However, I well and truly feel like you are going to walk off into the sunset, head held high, thinking that you were right the whole time even as you lost a community. I am not as attached to the name or place as some people, and it is fitting that yet another iteration of these boards goes out in a bang, but it's still a bit sad to see.

@reimesu You pinky. Gany's reputation. Despite your histrionics about what WORA is and what MSB is, it is still a community. And reputation matters. To what extent depends, of course, and with whom, but it's not nothing.

I won't dramatically peace out or anything, but @Ganymede I feel like you did a disservice to this community and @Derp, if you had been any sort of thoughtful, you'd have stepped down for the sake of the other mods, if nothing else.

Filled. Thanks for any interest.

I'm looking for someone (or a few someones) interested and willing to write location descriptions. I'd like 15 descriptions, ~10 for the space station and ~5 for planet-side. I'll pay $105 for all 15 ($7 each) via paypal.

I have no idea if this will get any responses or not, but if you'd like to take this on, I would like at least 5 descriptions (for some consistency in writing style), but you can do more if you like.

Please don't start writing until we agree on a number of locations and the concept for the location. For an idea, these are the loose guidelines for the locations, but if you've got a good idea, I'm open to it. I just want evocative hub locations off of which smaller buildings and locations will exist.

Space Station (middle eastern and korean influences, slicker, more sterile areas in Core, more cosmopolitan in the Ring).

Core

• Academy (5 factions)
• The spire (central place of govt, 5 factions)
• (Some other locations, fancy space garden, etc)

The Ring

• Spaceport
• Promenade
• (Various plazas?)

The Cellar

• Upper
• Lower
• Well (very bottom)

Planet-side (industry that feeds the station, better off than those in the cellar but planet-bound, a lot more freedom to decide what goes here).

• Central city with some areas that don’t duplicate station, advanced mining, space ship parts factory, etc)

If interested, please DM me with a sample description (from any previous location description, not one from above), and how many you'd like to write.

Flagged posts can be managed through the link in the drop-down menu of the admin's avatar under "Moderation Tools" as "Flagged Content".

@ganymede Biotics is pretty much just magic with a sci-fi flare, which we've done some work on. We're on hold for code changes while seeing how the big updates @faraday is in the midsts of pans out. I like where she's heading on all of it, but it does put things in a rather large state of flux.

@roz As long as everyone consented to go, right?

@sparks Right, but I'm talking about core. The essentials of what you get from a "base" install. I definitely think there should be system plugins for all the things.

@tat I don't think combat resolution is right for a core component. Maybe some universal dice roller, but anything more is just getting in the way, imo.

@auspice Yes, your anecdotal evidence is the correct basis for all the factual statements you've made in your posts so far in this thread. The sheer disrespect and dismissiveness of those not in this hobby, but perhaps interested, matched to the misplaced sense of writing superiority, is infuriating. I'm obviously of the belief that telnet is no longer where I'd like to see the hobby go, but when you adamantly state it's not for you, I can't say I'll be sorry if that turns out to be true.

Someone more even-tempered at the moment might suggest that they hope you're so impressed by new developments that you change your mind, but I think your attitude toward new people will only ever be detrimental. And I'd rather take my chances with them.

@thenomain said in Muxify Bug:

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/thenomain/GMCCG/master/1 - Data Dictionary/1a - Setup.txt

I pasted this directly into the left pane with chrome 62.0.3202.94 on a mac and it seemed to work fine. What version of chrome are you running and is it on Windows?

What's it doing? Do you have some sample code I can try that isn't behaving as expected?

@kanye-qwest Okay, but period up through, like, the 50s or 60s.

Chris Pine: Either.
Jeremy Renner: Period.
Gal Gadot: Either.
Ezra Miller: Modern.
Henry Cavill: Either.
Angelina Jolie: Modern.
Emma Watson: Modern.
Hayley Atwell: Either.

We're going to start a little early. Shutting down at 7:30pm

@Thenomain A quick test when @Arkandel had an older db version of msb up on his site linked to muxify just fine. Also, the code is available in that it is all front-end. If you check the source of the page, the html and linked javascript is all you need for it. And of course you can take/modify/rewrite or burn as your heart desires.

So @Arkandel has finished setup on his machine for the transfer of MSB. To make sure everything is current, we have to bring MSB down to transfer the database. In all, I don't expect the process to take more than 30 minutes, but unforeseen circumstances being what they are, it may be longer.

How it will work:

• I bring down MSB, get a final, recent copy of the database and send it to @Arkandel.
• He loads it into his instance, we check that the data seems sound.
• I change where musoapbox.net is pointed, which usually only takes a few minutes to resolve (but can technically take up to 48 hours).
• MSB comes back up and you should all be back to posting with no noticeable difference by late this evening/tomorrow.

If you have any questions, feel free to drop them here or ping me or @Arkandel directly.

I'll be helping with the move, so I'll try to make it as smooth as possible, including setup and whatnot on the new server. I don't expect too much downtime from it outside of the usual transfer of data and domain name transfer process.

Here are the most recent forum stats for user stuff. Unique visitors doesn't quite pan out, since people may check msb from their home/phone/work etc. And not all of those users are unique either. Some bans, others with more than one account, a few recent user deletions.

So I mentioned this in passing in another topic, but these forums have an option for deleting a user and all their posts with a click. I decided to experiment with it for the few unwelcome souls that find you guys irresistible. In the latest instance, I woke up this morning to half a dozen flags from people that resulted in a user account being deleted that had accumulated 30 posts.

I would encourage you to try not to feed the trolls as their posts will likely disappear and we lose some context. I don't like deleting posts in general, but when someone has been asked to leave the forums, I don't think allowing them to continue the conversation over multiple iterations of accounts to be enough of an incentive to not do so.

If it seems to be breaking too much in the way of continuity for you guys, let me know.

Digital ocean tells you the setup for your wiki when your first log in to the shell upon creation. And I assume @SG means KiTTY which is just an ssh client for windows.
