Chalcedony Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 So, yeah, a PayPal address or something would be handy right about now. *nudges Brando* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Nah, Im just waiting on the guy who can actually do the thing to respond and tell us where to send the money so we can get it done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Ender Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 And I also want to wait to see where this archive thing goes. I always wanted to retire early.Do you have Venmo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zathras Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Any word yet on how to contribute? I would like to do so, regardless of what is decided with the archives. I am sure whatever is decided with the archives, the money would be helpful, and I would like to do my part and donate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Ill send another email to JA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 JA has a ticket into IPS, the company that makes IP Board, to see about the upgrade process. He thinks were going to lose all of our skins, etc. He wants to hold off until he hears from them. I dont think thats a big deal, and I will try to copy what we have to see if we can bring it back. But I am guessing most people would agree that modern software is more important than our current skin? He also says that he has Venmo and Cash App, but no PayPal. But if anyone needs to use PayPal, Ill give my address when were ready. I can also accept bribes through any of the above listed platforms.

Iceheart Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 I think most people use the mobile skin anyway, so I wouldnt be opposed to a new star skin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zathras Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 My vote: the skin to me is low priority, but it would be nice to try to match the color scheme to what we currently have as close as possible with the new options,and without extreme measures like trying to migrate over this theme/skin or anything. It doesn't have to look exactly like what we have, just similar color scheme. Darker tones are easier on my eyes, as I am one of the dinosaurs who primarily use a PC to post.

Guest Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 We will also see what options are available with the new system, and if there is anything else we will lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 It all depends on the bribes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Just to make sure I'm being clear:JA is checking with IPS about upgrades. He is the owner of the site, and the only person who can okay any major changes. So we need to wait until he hears back from IPS, and gives us the go ahead. At that point, we'll get payment information out to anyone who needs it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chalcedony Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 I can send an envelope full of money by carrier pigeon, if that would help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 All skins will go away - not unexpected, and well see what we can do to fix it once weve gone through it. I can work on it, but I have a lot of irons in the fire and re-skinning Nightly is low priority. The other question is Blogs. Its been turned off for years, but technically still exists. I think its a bad idea, but thought I would check with the community. Its an additional $75 up front and $10 every 6 months. A message board is pretty much just a super interactive blog to begin with, and we dont need anything that takes away from content creating for the main forums. Thoughts? Also, if you want to donate PM me and let me know which platform you prefer. JA is using Venmo, but if you need to use PayPal or Cash App, I have those and can forward to him after embezzling some funds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zathras Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 If you are being serious, is there a way to either pin in recent topics hyperlinks their blogs (EG wordpress), or pin a thread to the top with a link to a blog in mos eisley, without adding the blog feature itself?

Guest Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Yep. Its a real thing, but I turned it off years ago. But JA brought it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odine Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 People still read blogs? What is it 2006? I thought we were all supposed to be having our faces sucked off our skulls by mobile social media. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iceheart Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 I dont need a blog. Ill get a Wordpress if I feel the need to publicly journal, which I havent since LiveJournal was the proto-social media of choice that all my IRL friends used. If we can get a midnight blue skin for old times sake that would be cool, but yeah, skins dont matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
