We are (hopefully) moving!

Old Kee Pa Updates
#40

i left a pair of my old socks, way back in 06 sometime, i think i miss placed them in the ??a thread… i think the fumes are finally getting to Ian… it was only a matter of time before the smell got so toxic we all have to leave and seek refuge elsewhere

I do kind of like our “old school” look/feel to proboards

nothing is wrong funky… so much as a new board would have new features and stuff… seems more of an upgrade in regards of ease of admin tasks as well as allowing users some more fancy gizmo’s gazmo’s of which I don’t really care about

i’m not a mod so I can’t speak for the level of difficulty it is to do mod like tasks

#41

I bet if the move happens smoothly we’re all gonna love it. There are times when I wish this board had features that other boards often have. Like, a link to a list of recent threads (collapsed) … also some forums have an icon indicating you’ve posted in a given thread, and if you click it, it takes you to your last post in that thread. Stuff like that.

#42

The point is, when we make the move we will have a bounty of new features to use, a more customizable board, better admin capabilites and much much more.

These are all things I’ve always wanted for the Pa but have either been fiddly to implement or simply impossible with ProBoards.

I am trying to make this as smooth as possible for everyone, I certainly don’t intend to piss anyone off and at this point can’t see how this can be anything but a good move for us.

Trust me.

As for your question Will, I am hoping to get this going in the next couple of days. I have been working on it all day today. The individual show boards look fantastic, it’s a great idea so let me say a big thanks for putting the effort in! :slight_smile:

#44

mucho gracias Will and others involved in the individual show creations… It’s awesome!

Clete… I trust that the move will be a positive change

Will the site still be www.ohkeepa.com ?

#45

I imagine it will still be ohkeepa.com, because that is just a re-direct URL to ohkeepa.proboards.com.

And cheers, Ian!

#46

I haven’t been around long enough to be too attached one way or another, but I do trust that this move will be positive (assuming we don’t lose everything, which would totally suck). I’ve always felt this board software was a little primitive compared to other boards I frequent-- not that it mattered that much, but I can see where more features and better admin/mod capabilities could make for an even better experience here on the Pa.

Hope it goes smoothly!

#47

Alright, obviously it’s happening whether we like it or not so I guess we might as well get on board with the idea. Like Neil said, it’s not the end of the world, even if the worst happens and every OKP thread disappears into the void.

I’ve only been here 4 months so I don’t really care if I lose posts or whatever. Just seems tacky to spring this on everyone and tell them “just trust me” if anyone disagrees. ::slight_smile:

#48

Ian= Barack Obama of the OKP

Change we can believe in! Yes we can!

Oh Shit that’s not working out too well for him.

#49

trust you? why?

you’ve showed up briefly 2-3 times in the last 3 years…I don’t see why you suddenly think you need to do this.

#50

Ouch. Maybe I should spend my money on something else if this is your reaction?

#51

alright, alright I’m just being a biatch, sorry. I don’t get it, but whatever.

#52

Let’s all just stay calm and hope for the best!!

#53

soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

will this still be a phish message board or are we switching to OAR?

#54

I am with you Hank…

Even though there was period during 2nd Hiatus when I didn’t come here a lot, I’ve always loved and cared for this webforum, ever since a lot of us first came here with Ian and Glenn back in May 2005. My personal problem with all of this is, of course, “why fix something that isn’t broken”. But I digress.

#55

Holy shit I just saw this just now. All I know is, I really like the way it is now, and I hope the new way is as good or better. I didn’t particularly like those other examples Adam posted, but maybe those are just shitty or something? I just really like the way the display and everything is here. My stats aren’t as important (although I do kinda care), but most forums are ugly to look at. OKP is not, and that is one thing I love about it.

Anyway, Ian is the one who makes this happen in the first place, and I trust Ian to make a decision. Without him, we wouldn’t have the OKP in the first place, so we should respect his decisions and be supportive. Just my .02.

#56

I’ll move, only if someone makes a Pollock skin for me to use

#57

guess who’s using the new oh kee pah right now?

#58

Would that be you pete? :laughing:

#59

Great stuff, guys. Great stuff.

Uno pregunta. Is there a way to make it so you can see not only who last posted on a board but which thread they posted in?
