UPDATE: Whites Forum/What the Heck is Going ON????

Re: UPDATE: White's Forum/What the Heck is Going ON?

I wonder what going to happen here. I have the same Handle (name) on Treasurenet as I had on Whites. I wonder how that is going to work out? Will I only have one log in now that they have combined?

Howdy Navy Guy!
You will still have your existing handle on the new White's forum site.
But you will be required to create a new password for that forum, as the
database for passwords will not migrate properly. That's what I learned
today.

They are not being combined with T-Net however. Your T-Net account
will be one account, and the White's forum another account entirely, on
a different server, and not directly linked with T-Net as it was before.

Re: UPDATE: White's Forum/What the Heck is Going ON?

Hi all,

The updated info in M-Taliesin's post is correct. White's is simply moving the entirety of the TNet/White's forums to our own server. If things go well, it will come back up on Monday and no posts will be lost. Your account will also be preserved, except for the login password.

This actually had nothing whatsoever to do with the sale of TNet. We had been planning this move for months and it just took this long to get everything set up and tested. When we finally decided to pull the trigger last week, Marc told us of the impending sale. Coincidental, oddly enough.

We hosted the White's forums on TNet all these years because TNet was an established forum site and at the time White's didn't want to take on the job of running forums. However, I pushed for this move because I want to make a number of structural changes to the forums and under the current situation I had to make all those requests through Marc. But another issue also convinced me to make the move... as many of you know, there are several excellent treasure forums and they tend to be somewhat competitive. To the point that you cannot mention the name of a competing forum, and certainly not a link to it. Since White's forums were hosted by TNet, I could not ferinstance help a White's user on the Findmall forum by linking back to a post on our own company forums, simply because the URL contains "treasurenet". It was very frustrating. The solution is to put White's forums on our own independent server.

Once the forums return next week I'll slowly start making changes to the structure and contents. I think folks will like what we do.

Howdy Carl!
Thank you for clarification. That's wonderful news. I will be looking forward to the changes,
and hope they will be for the better going forward. With you running the project, I'm certain
everything will be better than ever for us White's forum junkies! Okay,... I admit... I'm a White's
forum junkie. And wow, I sure do need a fix! LOL!

As you can imagine, there was a great deal of consternation when the forum suddenly went
dark. I was among those who wondered what happened, and why. That pesky broadcasting
background led me to start trying to find out what was happening, and I started asking
questions from folks I felt could provide answers.

Now you've given us a unique perspective on what's been afoot. I think it just caught us
all off guard because we didn't know anything was coming down and were perplexed and
bewildered. Your post helps to clear the air and let us know what's happening, and that's
what we needed to hear.

I'll be eagerly looking forward to the new White's forum, and I know it will be a fitting
addition to our White's experience. The next step in the evolution of White's forum is
coming, and we believe it will be truly exciting! Way to go pard!!!

Blessings,
M-Taliesin

Re: UPDATE: White's Forum/What the Heck is Going ON?

Howdy Folks!
On the bright side, until the White's forum comes back up, we can get away with
saying stuff here that the mods would jump all over.

Stuff like: Republican or Democrat or Libertarian or Green Party or words of that
ilk. Why, we can even use the words "Politics or Religion" in a sentence without
having the whole thread locked.

That being said, I gotta say, I sorta miss having those guys around, keeping order
and ensuring domestic tranquility.

Until our forum returns, likely tomorrow, we still have a little advantage here.

There once was a lady from Norway,
who liked tectin' every day,
She hoped for the best,
as she dug with her Lesche,
and found her a cache out near Ordway!

Blessings,

Re: UPDATE: White's Forum/What the Heck is Going ON?

This is absolutely great news. As a semi-professional lurker on the White’s Forum, I was beginning to feel homeless without the forum.

Seriously, when the White’s Forum disappeared, I felt lost. I immediately missed the White’s family that I visit every day. Then it dawned on me, the huge information base was also gone.

Thank you Mel for following up on this. There are a lot of us out here that are relieved by the info you and Carl have given us.

Am looking forward to the new and improved White’s Forum.

Re: UPDATE: White's Forum/What the Heck is Going ON?

Sorry for the downtime everyone. I ran into some major issues with this move and finally found a solution. I'm just about ready to install the new forum software that we will be using. I hope to finish getting everything setup tonight, and then tomorrow we have a bit of testing and finalizing to do, so I'm shooting for sometime Monday afternoon-evening.

If you have any questions/concerns, feel free to email me.

You're welcome! I really hope you guys like the main thing that I've been working on over the past month. I've had quite a few interruptions and other tasks/projects I've had to work on, so it hasn't gone quite as quickly as I wanted it to.

Want to sneak peek?
