I wasn't gone THAT long...anyway GH hasn't been up that long either.

I took a bit of a break, waiting for GH to get sorted out. Also went on vacation in Europe for three weeks.

Anything ELSE you'd like to know Mr. Stalkerazzi?

Well my subforum isn't back yet and my PM to iMav went unanswered.

I don't THINK I did anything to tick him off but I could be wrong... :\

Sadly I cant access DanGWanG's subforum, I can only see MagicMeatballs forum. DanGWanG told me that I need 1000 posts or that I could ask a moderator for access.
I already PM'd dorkvader and rknize some days ago, but no reply yet.
If a moderator sees this, could you please give me access to DanGWanG's subforum? Or maybe one of the members could tell me who of the moderators is responsible for this? (Cause it might be I PM'd the wrong guys, or they are just too busy....)

Thanks for help in advance!

Now what would one have to do in order to get their own subforum? I might be more willing to devote more time to this forum community if I had my own subforum...

I asked for DanGWanG's subforum access when GH came back up, was given it, and now it has disappeared again for me, too.

It is my fav place to hang out here. :(

EDIT: Like 30 seconds after I posted this I can see it again. So thanks to which ever admin is paying attention.

I can see the DanGWanG subforum still.  Maybe the admins added in a post requirement to be able to see his forum? Who knows... I'm not an admin.
Title: Re: Member subforums
Post by: DanGWanG on Tue, 14 August 2012, 14:10:25
It's likely that they re-implemented the 1000 post rule maybe.

Hi, I would like access to the DanGWanG subforum please! Thanks. 1000 posts is a bit steep for access to member subforums, isnt it? =/
tbh i don't think so (have you seen the stuff that goes on in there? yuck!), but i was harangued so much i dropped it to 200 a while ago
Title: Re: Member subforums
Post by: DanGWanG on Tue, 14 August 2012, 15:04:21
Oh, then I dunno lol....

I had to look up the word 'harangued.'  And also, yuck =*(

everytime we touch the posting group memberships, you have to post once before you get placed into your appropriate group. if something seems off, post and then look again :)

Strange since I can see MagicMeatball's just fine and after posting that i couldn't see Dan's anymore i still couldn't/can't.  I'll check again after this one.  It'd be nice to get some clarification on post limits for the subforums.

Possibly some were lost in the r00tw0rm catastrophy, the few that were left closed, one by one, at the respective owner's discretion.

They've been 'purged' according to reaper.  The admins/mods offered me to save some of my threads and they've been either moved to Archives are are still visible in main forums (mostly in OT).

the member forums were only created to allow the forum to survive inline with a particular user who is gone now. we felt that their continued existence just locked good threads up in a place where most users (particularly new users) would not know to access.

Fear of a name only increases fear of the thing itself.
