Title: What the hell is up with the rift?
Post by: Black Wolf on February 12, 2003, 10:21:48 am
I don't visit in two days, and I return to a forumless 'Digital Scripture' ? Heretic? Hex? Anybody?

No it had a forum, and a big one too...about 10 minutes ago. I guess they are just updating it a bit and closed it for that time.

The-Rift is no more

Nope. Now they have a geek forum over there with some philosophical crap. I dunno...and no spamming, no abusing the PM system, no pointless but funny threads, no anything.

I'd probably make my own 'The-Rift' but the only bearable board is vB and there is now way I could pay the sum they are asking every month

If I had the MySQL space I'd offer to hosterize it when I......err......[censored for privacy]. But ATM I've got like 150mb of MySQL space with the Nodewar board taking like 26mb already. Importing the Rift's database would kill everything.

Also there's the fact that there'd be too much irony in me having admin powers over Teh Rift™.

And seeing that The Rift has always been run by Heretic, Shrike, HeX, or me.....

Seriously you guys have no idea.  Substance?  That place was getting a few pointless posts a day.  I'm not going to do this argument on another site.

but this change is for the better.

One word: No

At least you guys shouldn't have deleted the original rift spam forum.

Actually, it might notta been. I seem to remember someone mentioning to me that the WS admins were HLP admins (presumably they were refering to Shrike). I think I got banned for a while from here for pissing off the WS peeps. I'm not sure though. I tend to delete any old memories to free up brain-space for newer, high-resolution memories with better frame-rates.

Shrike was the only HLP to be an admin there too.  Notice how much you don't know.

And in regards to the spam guy...  This is Heretic's money, therefore his decision.  Welcome to the real world.  Money matters.

  • Bring back the rift like it was on Monday
  • Delete the rift and only have DS
  • Leave the rift to die and concentrate on DS
  • Bring back WS completely like it was
    • [/list=1]


    once I figure that out, then things will settle down. But right now I have no idea just what I'm going to do. [/B]


My suggestion. Make one big forum system - DS and then make/copy a subforum - the rift. Well?
Title: What the hell is up with the rift?

subforums are crap.

Hmmm. Methinks I was there then.

I got banned for The sys0p Incident™ in like May/June 2001. And I was hanging around for a long while before that.

By the time you got banned I had more or less stopped being an admin there.

Thunder, I think.  But we all agreed that you had been a naughty boy and had crossed the line.

Actually, I was an admin for a very short while, I think, after Libra Wars started and before it was separated from Warpstorm. I think. Maybe I was only an admin after Libra Wars was separated... Can't really remember. One of these days I'll have to find a use for that engine that's almost completely done, too. Meh.
