| Brenda: Don't you just hate when you make a mistake and then afterwards panic. And spent 2 or 3 minutes trying to figure out how to correct your mistake. I just did that. |
| 6ixStringJack: Trigger Warning: Read my 3 following replies from the bottom up or you're likely to get angry when that isn't my intention. |
| 6ixStringJack: I took credit for that, sure... but really I have no actual way of knowing for sure. I took credit for Reaverfan getting a ban too, but Haken never said anything and it's possible that Reaverfan similarly got locked out. |
| 6ixStringJack: Is Haken's email address readily available here? I know some of you have it and have emailed him about site outages and the like. I never looked into it because I never had a reason to email him about anything. That's fine if people have to do that to get a login if Haken doesn't mind the extra work, but I don't know if anybody else (especially those who don't post here regularly) know what you know. I mean, hell... Wishy might have only stopped coming here because her computer with the login busted and she doesn't know to email Haken to fix her account or give her a new one. |
| 6ixStringJack: Yeah. I know about the "S". That's actually why I had changed my login with a burner account to 6ixStringJoker for a short while. I started getting a warning about logging in here. I didn't know at the time, but it wasn't because the site changed but because the most recent browser security update and ever since they've warned about logging into a non-secure website. |
| THG: There should not be a link. It should say H t t p s |
| THG: All they need do to join or get login help is email Haken. Browncoat's should be comfortable with that. Too many scammers were getting into the site before. Personally, it cost about 60 dollars a year to have [go to link] on the site address. We could help with that. |
| 6ixStringJack: Yeah... I know. More of a Christmas wishlist than anything. If he can only get one thing done it would be nice if people could sign up again without bothering him though. I suspect that there are quite a few people we used to know that would love to post here, especially in the thick of election season, but they lost their password and have no way of getting back in (and no direct line to Haken either). |
| THG: Wanta be joiners of the site have to request that from him personally. Because of spammers. And remember, not enough people here to warrant all that work. |
6ixStringJack: Oh... and a working PM feature would be awesome.  |
| 6ixStringJack: Third request would be more for Haken than anybody else, but if he gets around to fixing the ability for new people to join up again, maybe we can also make it so you can't view posts unless you're signed in and Google can't just scrape every post ever made here. |
| 6ixStringJack: That's pretty cool news, to be honest. I love this site, and I'd even miss you if you were gone, Ted. If I had one request it would be the ability to embed videos other than YouTube directly in a post. If I had a 2nd request it would be that the site indicates if and when a post was deleted or edited after it was originally made with a time stamp. |
| THG: Possibly |
| Brenda: That's okay. But if I am then so are you THG. |
| THG: Sounds like he wants the site to continue. At least into the near future. Looks like you're stuck with it Brenda. |
| Brenda: Sounds like he has a plan. |
| THG: Long story short, Haken says when RL slows down, he is going to update the code and bring the tech current. |
| 6ixStringJack: And whether they were on board with that or not, that's not even the showrunners' fault. That's what they did in the 2nd game. It was Game of the Year and got a perfect 10/10 rating with EVERY gaming outfit. Sales tanked and fans of the amazing first game hated the 2nd one. |
| 6ixStringJack: Don't get too attached to Pedro's character. The wokies had their way with him and everyone becomes a lesbian in the 2nd season. |
| Brenda: No worries. I just wanted to see it because of him and because it is filmed up here. They started Alberta then the second season was or is set to film around Vancouver. I should explain that the show is after a massive infection has taken over the world, so sort of a zombie thing. |
