I've got no issues with changing the system. Telling the staff to fuck off, but behave and not cause trouble, is just taking the fucking piss considering the time and effort put in.

I'm trying to archive the formal debates and the Reptile Thread etc. So annoying.

Feel free to do so. I, for one, surely won't do anything about it and the rest of the staff won't either.
Way ahead of you

It's a piece of piss to be cowiz, but it's not cowiz to be a piece of piss. Or something like that.

I would advise against myself, as it might give the site admins a "reason" to shut down the forum forthwith, and stop people from posting valid criticism.

Fuck, good to see you here, Pete.
I'll help you with the reptile threads, if you want.

The RD.net forum seems to be having more ... performance problems. :comp:

We've done our best to fight for the forum's future on behalf of the membership but Josh isn't interested it seems. We've seen this coming for months so I'm not that surprised to be honest. We used to have a dialogue with RD but Josh put a stop to that and we're also now forbidden to contact RD (as you see from the message Josh sent to staff). I posted the message publicly so I expect to be sacked any minute.

The forum has become the busiest atheist forum on the Internet and he's throwing it all away (I have my suspicions why that is but I'm not making them public at the moment).

I'm not having any problems with the forum over there at the moment, got an error or two earlier though, given the number of people currently online over there I'm not surprised.

Many congratulations for doing the right thing! You and the rest of the staff. :tup: :clap: :flowers:

The overall decision was bad enough (although I too saw it coming), but the way the staff were addressed was a complete disgrace. But then I of all people should probably not be surprised. :ddpan:

Well, Josh was told exactly what was needed to get things like Search up and running. Hell, even I understood how it worked after chatting with the IT guys that work with Josh. I had a feeling the forum would just get scrapped.
