Re: Hobbit Forum Refugees

[Gandalf's Beard]

Indeed Eldo! It's just as respectable as the old forum.

Nice to see you here too, Tin I hope all the others will come round eventually too (I'll use the more safe "all the others" rather than call them by their names, would be a tad awkward to leave someone out )

[Ally]

Tin's here! I'm still on the look out for Chris too!

[Pettytyrant101]

I sent Chris an email - he was on my list for my edits-but no response so far.

Just found this on a google trawl.

Anyone know who/what?

(NB both the above, and our forum are on Page 2 of the google search at the mo!)

[Pettytyrant101]

Can't believe that turned up and this one didnt!!! I set that up right after our old forum went down, mainly as a test to see if it was possible to get our old stuff back on a forum- but as young Eldo actually knows what he's doing, where as I was just mucking about, I left it to him to sort a new forum out- how do you get rid of it once youve set one up? I havent a clue.
But if you found it on google surely this one must turn up somewhere.

Added this to my above post.

the refugees is higher and this is about three lower

[Pettytyrant101]

Don't want to confuse matters for people looking for us- anyone know how I get rid of it?

[Eldorion]

Admin Panel > "General" tab > "Forum Deletion" from the sidebar.

[Pettytyrant101]

Umm, in that case Ill delete it....just as soon as I can remember what the hell my password for it was!!!

[Ringdrotten]

Good news, Kafria, page 2! Give it a few more weeks and a couple more "News of the Pure" editions and we'll be topping page 1

Edit: Bit of a shame to delete it all, looks like you spent quite a lot of time copying posts over to that forum. That's a lot of (very much appreciated) work gone to waste. But like you say, might confuse possible newcomers.

[Ally]

If it's already on google, might as well just redirect the domain name here, what harm could it do?

Code:

<meta http-equiv=REFRESH content=0;url=http://hobbitmovie.forummotion.com>

Add it to the site description, and it's lovely traffic will come to us!

[Pettytyrant]

I wish I knew what any of that meant!
Assume I'm an idiot Ally (a stretch I know but try!) and explain in idiot sized chunks exactly what I do to redirect traffic from it to here.

[Pettytyrant101]

I've remembered the password I used for the other site so I can do whatever I need to do with it now- once I know how do it!

It just killed a few hours when I was trying to force myself to stay awake to get my sleeping pattern round for nightshift- so no worries about losing it- having a forum for us is what counts (and Eldo did a better job). And there's nothing on it that's not now been put up on here.

ps anyone been on PT recently? Has the awards ceremony thread turned up- would be nice to have it for continuity for next years!

[Ringdrotten]

That one was great, would be a real shame to lose it. Didn't find it on PT, though. What section was it in, Ideas & Suggestions?

[Pettytyrant101]

Either in there or Other fantasy Stories, I can't quite remember.

[Ringdrotten]

So much for his "no posts will be lost" promise

[Eldorion]

I don't really post on PT anymore but as far as I can tell nothing more has been brought over. And Taz still has yet to respond to my question about the lost post from two weeks ago.

EDIT: Or, what Ringdrotten said.

[Ally]

Login to the admin panel, click on the general tab, then forum, then configuration, then finally site description, where you can add that code, then just save it!


Just a side thought, but if Taz is unwilling to give up the data, maybe it could be acquired off ady- though that's assuming he made regular backups, I think the problem with Taz is though that he doesn't really want to put up completely irrelevant posts, for us to take, and then for him to delete again!

[Eldorion]

Does anyone know how to get in touch with ady? I don't know if the old ady@the-hobbit-movie.com e-mail is active since the site was sold, and that's the only way I ever knew to get in touch with him.

[Pettytyrant101]

Finally got round to putting that code into the other forum so any traffic should come here.

Had a look on PJ's facebook page for TH. Seems a few sites have posted links there to their sites- any you young facebook types got access? Might be good to advertise ourselves there.

I would, but I deleted my main facebook account, it's quietly addictive you know! I'll try to do it on my other account, if I can remember the password. I last checked it during the Hobbit Forum Crisis of Feb 11, to check the hobbit movie page!

[Ringdrotten]

I'm afraid I don't have facebook, so no can do! The whole thing makes me as crabbit as you, Petty (or almost - I doubt whether anyone could be as crabbit as you!)

[Squach]

i ddont have facebook either; im too young. (only a year) though most people at scool are on it and they lie about their ages.

[Pettytyrant101]

To be a proper crabbit takes dedication, I hate dedication!

What have we got the only forum in the world whose 'youth' don't go on facebook!
