| Or you could expect two weeks, some people may have their "lazy" moments and skip a day on working on it for example.... Edit: Not saying that Atrius is like that though.
Anyway, if you find something to do and not think about it much it will come quickly as a surprise. | |

| It's difficulty to copy posts over from forums when you don't have direct access to their databases. I have to write a program that downloads the topic pages as though it's a guest viewing the forum, parses their HTML source code to pull out the messages, and converts them into SQL command format to be inserted into the database of the new forums.
So far it's only managing to grab & convert about 86% of the topics from the old forums, and I haven't even started tweaking the HTML parser to work on these ones. | |

- It's almost like moving out of your house to find a better house, now that I think about it.
I have deicided to go in to Story Mode: We could say that Role knows if she moves out of her house she has to make enough money to find anther house, this is in comparison to moving to a different forum and moving all her topics. And Salanewt comes along and decides he could give her te money, this is in comparison to moving the topics for her. But obviously this toim, Atrius invites them to a better house and let them stay for free. This is in comparison to the topics already being there. No, it's more like - Role didn't want the better house. Role KNEW that the current house was fine, and that there was no need for a better one. But they dragged Role kicking and screaming to the new house, which - might I add - turned out to have some SERIOUS mold problems. Donning a heppa filter mask thingy, Role went and made the house nice and tidy, moving a bunch of things to make it feel more like home. Sure, it was nicer (despite being mold-infested), but she still didn't think they needed to move in the first place. Now they want to move over to yet ANOTHER house, and Role, having done all that effort, and even cleaning up a bit of the mold (I'm not getting DNS errors as much now...), is terrified that she's going to be dragged YET AGAIN to a place she sees no reason in moving over to. She accuses the other roommates of suffering from "grass is greener on the other side" mentality, and threatens physical violence if they keep it up. | |

| That is nice, now you are wanting me to make an actual "fanfic" or hack on it, although I doubt I'd be good at fanfics...
(But invisionfree and omgforum does have their own rules right? so wouldnt it be more like a hotel or something?, and now this third place is about going on Atrius's new land....) | |

| Yes, the new forums are going to be on my own web space too instead of a free forum service. | |
