Old forums?

Post by matts05 »

Can anyone tell me exactly what this is? Everyone has different avatars and there are different forum subsections and stuff. I'm guessing that the forums moved from that to the current forums, but I'm not sure. It's kinda wierd lookin back at all that stuff.

Not sure where you found that, but it's an old backup on Zephyr's server I believe.

Originally, that was used in the Friday the 13th Disaster last year. At the beginning of May that year, Zephyr added the claims browser you know and love, backing up the forum before he did so. On the 13th, the harddrive crashed and a lot of stuff happened.

That is now used by Zephyr to test stuff, I'm guessing. There's really not any point in going there except to see how many useless forums we used to have and read my idiocy as Sload Lord.

Sload is correct, it's the test server. Thanks a lot for NOT using it! There's absolutely nothing to see there and using it will hog up my personal bandwidth.

Can we still link to it? I found a picture Cjad the Nord did, that has a sword that is uncannily like the weedy Umbra you get in Oblivion!

If you find a picture, download it (save as) and host it yourself at www.imageshack.com or www.photobucket.com or another website. As Zephyr said, using it = bad, and linking stuff to it also = bad

However, we did have old forums, which you used to be able to get to by opening the intro and stopping it before it got a chance to open the correct page, but you can't do that anymore. Those older forums were full of TR history.
But no, those are the test forums, not the old forums. Yay spammy-testyness!
