Argggh! I just saw that too! Whats happened?

f5hosting, the hosts of this BB are stopping all UBB boards on their servers, I wonder if your BB is in the same boat?



Well, m8, your welcome here anytime. :D

Sounds more like fluke found the board to be too much of a financial burden. Considering he never did much DC it was damn good of him to give us a home.

Ok, I just visited the nm site, it looks like the site is offline due to financial difficulties....

Damn, that's not good. No warning either :(

Maybe Phil could set you all up a forum here until you guys find another home.

Sorry man...

Just spoken to fluke on ICQ, was financial more than anything else.

So I promised the missus shopping down town today so I've got to go. Isn't it a git when real life gets in the way ;)

Pelligrini that could be a great idea, if you were prepared to do it. Hopefully more Picardians will be in here during the course of the day, would be good to ask them what they thought about it, but it sounds good to me.

Right I'm off to buy deep fat fryers :( and air con units :) (my new T-bird's running too hot, so I'll cool the room down :D

Make sense! ;)

Ciccio, it's a shame you were not given any warning that this was comming, I mean you (Picard) could have rallyed together some cash to support his needs...... or at least made alternate plans for a BB.........



Anyway, you and all Picard'ians are welcome here, lets lay aside our differences and Party! (data you can send all whoonits to #2136075668, user name "dnar" if you please) :D

Whoa, hang on just a minute.

Firstly Ciccio has been nothing but the voice of reason and a gentleman to boot. The majority of Picardians are welcome in here - BUT..... a few of us (virus and I, in particular) were called dishonest shits, and helluva lot worse by some Picard members. Do you remember that diatribe from crabbles, posted all over the place? While it is extremely bad luck to have your board taken away like that, and I hope they can sort something quick smart, I'm not entirely in favour of having "some" people over for dinner.

There are a few members, who have displayed pure hate! While being decent is one thing, being a mug is another.

However, run a team poll, and if it's in favour, we can set a temporary sub-forum up for Picard members. As always, I will go with the majority.

Ciccio, my regrets, this is not good news for you and your team. or the project as a whole. I hope something can be sorted out quickly.

EDIT:

Ahh, I see http://www.3dhq.net/ is gonna be your temporary home for a while - that's good, at least you guys have somewhere to hang your hat while you sort something out.
God speed... you guys hurry up now, we've a battle comming ;)

Don't worry people I don't think we will be invading your space.
There is already a forum setup for Team Picard.

I'm not a spokesperson for TGC, but I would invite everyone except the snake oil alarmist (you know who I'm talking about).

Nice suggestion Pelligrini but it would never work, too much has been said and grudges are still apparent on both sides.
We will survive but will probably lose a number of the infrequent posters (don't worry, I've already contacted Data :D ).
We are currently trying to regroup and instigate damage limitation but it will be difficult if not impossible to contact a lot of members. I just hope they use their homing instincts and find us under their own steam. :)

Rid, feel free to place a Message on our board, directing Picard members to your final home. I'm sure the guys putting our new Home Page together would be obliging also. (I hope!)

Hope everything works out for ya Rid. I was a lurker on your board and enjoy the groups sense of humor. Give it a little time and the grudges will fade :)

Having had a little time to think about this (not long). If having TP here is for the better of the project, I'm in favor of it. :D

If you guys want a temporary forum here, just say the word. :cool:

Good luck Rid. Like dnar says, feel free to post an "attention Picardians" just in case anyone looks in here.

FWIW, as far as I'm concerned, diplomatic relations are totally restored. Personally though, there are just one or two of your guys that went a little too far with the personal abuse (I think you know to what i'm referring) and the thought of them camping in my living room is juat a little too much at the moment. But rest assured, that is the *total* limit of my reservations. I'm not going to go into details, I hope you understand what I mean.

I'm glad to see you have a forum sorted, good luck with your regroup and looking forward to battle.

You might edit your banner that shows at stanford and noxordo. Maybe a few more people might notice it if they check their stats.

Good Luck

All sorted now, we've got our home back again and it's even been redecorated while we were on our day trip :D
Fluke is likely to be going MOD MAD over the next couple of days so don't be too surprised if it goes belly up again. :D

This is actually a good thing. It gives your moderators a chance to regroup and get your own board that you control. This way, you won't have to deal with logging on one day and finding out that your home was destroyed.

Good Luck TP with your new home. There is always growing pains with a new place.

Team Picard i hope that you can run normal again A.S.A.P.:D
Its good to hear you already have a new place to go:D

When we overtake you in the stats we'll need a place were we can see your humble bow:D :D

LoL, it won't be long now either, we'll be sure to give you a passing wave as you go past, although I can't guarantee the number of fingers used. :D

It's just great to be home again, Fluke is working feverishly at the moment, new "features" seem to pop up and disappear again every few minutes. :D

Yeh Rid, glad your all sorted. We (ex-ACHOers) know how it feels to loose your board! BTW you have good taste in BB software :D Need anyone to thrash test it's bandwidth????http://members.iinet.net.au/~dnar/images/icons/3dbiggrin4.gif
