[FYI] The Forum's future

........When the admins and tech staff are happy that new site is stable and operation (hopefully by September 16), the ISF will become active and the JREF Forum will be deactivated and the address redirected to the new forum..........

What's gone wrong, folks?
 
Now why would you want to do that? It's the most amusing part of the forum. I guess you would rather have threads debunking the tired issue of homeopathy etc.


And dowsing. Don't forget dowsing. It would be homeopathy and dowsing. That's all we need.

Oh, and bigfoot. Bigfoot, homeopathic and dowsing.

That's all I need...:stumbles away muttering:

Oh, and this Thermite...
That's all we need.
Bigfoot, homeopathy and dowsing, and thermite.
That's IT. That's all we need.
 
I'm posting this here -- I'm not seeing ANY comments about this anywhere else -- because I wanted to at least take notice:

The server will be coming down at approximately 0000UTC Oct 5 (1800MDT Oct 4) for migration to the final server and domain name. The process should take a few hours but may take more. The new URL will be http://www.internationalskeptics.com/forums.

About five hours away and then the forum will probably be down until tomorrow morning some time? :eye-poppi

I always get nervous when these kinds of things happen. I always hope for the best but expect the worst. :(

Goodbye JREF forum it's been real!
 
Oh okay thanks.

Because I thought, "People here have been getting free fish? Hey I never got any! Why that lousy...!?!" :mad:
 
It's usually used when you are leaving someplace, and you know that not only will you not be coming back, the place is going to be completely destroyed.
 
So, the deal is? After the change over we log on to the new site or will we be redirected from here?

I'm too lazy at this point to see if instructions have been given and I just now changed my registered email from one that's been extinct for atleast 5 years.

Is there going to be a super secret hand shake to get in?

Will you tell it to me if I promise to stay out of religion and politics? :D

After the changeover there'll be an automatic redirect to the new site, as well as instructions on the old site in case the redirect doesn't work for some reason.

When first entering the new site you'll be prompted with the updated T&C to agree to, and then there'll be further instructions on how to migrate over your personal information if you so choose.
 
To all those posters who have been critical of icerat: See ya 'round. Not! ;)

 
Jumping to an area via the Forum Index not working for me. Anyone else?
 
Yeah, links still aren't working properly. I assume this is still being sorted out. Default color scheme is bad. And that tiny little header graphic with International Skeptics is pretty sad. :(.

I know there are peeps working on this, though.

Wonder what traffic will be like? How many people will bail?

Right now the listing is showing 65 members logged in. Fewer than normal I think but that's to be expected. When did the forum come back on-line anyway?
