...now that is old school, I remember flying on those a lot. Damn classy aeroplane & built to military specs. The coolest I flew on though was a Vickers/BAe Super VC-10 (the original BOAC). That plane was almost a work of art. ...ahh the "Golden Age" of jet travel. A whole different experience compared to today's "cattle class" quality of service. ...but I digress once again.

I work 11 PM till 7:30 AM, give or take (We have a 15 minute pre- and post- flex time). Generally, I sleep from 1ish till 9ish, though it quite often ends up being 2-3ish to 9:30ish. Bull |

2100-0500. That better Grinder?
I know a lot of folks around here are up at all ends of the clock. Some of us are night owls or work the night shift, some of us are on different sides of the globe. Some of us can't even figure out the whole am/pm thing and need times put in the 24-format *coughgrindercough*. That's why I always find it interesting to see who happens to be on when I pop in. |

So Fisty, were you going to answer my question about the structure of the new Dumpshock in regards to the multiple Shadowrun forums?

I have been asked to merge the forums into one. That is a LOT of data to merge. If time allows I will do it with the rest of the upgrade. If not, there will be a 2.1 upgrade in ~30 days to accomplish that..

Is there any way to convince you that it's a bad idea?

Not really. We're all in pretty much 100% agreement as far as I know. |

Any possibility of tagging all the SR4 forum threads with [SR4] or somesuch to differentiate, and in the future ask us to tag our thread with an appropriate version, so as not to confuse others? |

I feel that SR4 should be the default, being that it is the currently supported, official product, and as such shouldn't need 'tagging'. The onus should be on those that are seeking discussion on editions other than the current one to make that clear in some way.

Basically, we're combining the SR forums for several reasons. But the two biggest reasons are these: 1) Clean up the forums. One of our goals for this version of Dumshock is that we don't want to have the nested forum set up, like we do now. There's a number of sub forums that get frequently overlooked or simply not used because they're "hidden". And one such concession to this is combining the SR forums, because... 2) The SR3 forum currently gets much less traffic than the SR4 forum. There are fewer threads, much sparser discussion, and a lot of the discussion that does happen there can and does apply to SR4 as much as it does SR3 (or SR2, or SR1 even). There's a handful of SR3 fans that seem to never read the SR4 forum, and appear to be an awful lot of our members that never venture into the SR3 forum. As such, both sides are losing out on potentially valuable input in their threads. At the end of the day, Shadowrun is Shadowrun, regardless of the edition.
None of the mods have really talked about this much, but I think in general our consensus is that we don't want to enforce tagging. Too much work for us, and for you guys. However, it is fairly common for a lot of message boards to use tags, and we encourage you guys to. In general, specifically tagging SR3 threads with a [SR3] in the header seems like the easiest way to go. SR4 is the default Shadowrun setting now, so anything outside of that should be marked appropriately. But I'd think it'd be best if the Edition tags were only used if the thread is very specifically edition oriented (i.e., rules). <shrug> Like I said, we're not really worrying too much about this. As far as we're concerned, Shadowrun is Shadowrun is Shadowrun. Bull |

Ok, the new site is up. The only know issue is that the new "Terms of Service" are not yet posted.

You can select an avatar from "My Controls", "Edit Avatar Settings". There are a GAGGLE of 'em.

We seem to have a casualty. Old spoiler tags contents seem to have been lost in the conversion.
Also, the spoiler tags in this new skin work differently Hint: Highlight the black bar to read the text.. |

Gang emblems are a great idea -- I'll see about digging those up from the various location sourcebooks and getting them created.

That's not the only thing that seems to have been lost. It appears that the contents of my mailbox has disappeared. Not that I had much, but I don't have backups of a couple of the character sheets that were stored there. (I wonder if I'm alone on this)
