KeymasterI'm trying to turn Amaz0ns into more of a community site and less of a blog. I want the forum stuff, and new community features, to be prominently featured on the front page.
Basically, I don't have the time anymore to do so much writing for the site and need to find another way for it to work.

KeymasterI did do it in vain. The migration failed and I had to revert back to this.
Lingster
KeymasterYes, it's slow at this moment because I'm beating the server like a rented mule.
Lingster
KeymasterDone. We're down to 2689 users, now.

KeymasterWhew. Glad you posted – wasn't sure it was working OK 'til just now.

KeymasterThanks for the notice. I'd take the nude pictures out but it seems that there is no post edit option like there should be.
Daniel: my rules are not incidental, they are integral. You are welcome here only for as long as you can conform to them. You know this.

KeymasterThis particularly conceptual theme has gone far enough.

KeymasterThat many?! 😮
Yes, that many. I've never purged so many at once, before. It's gonna be fun, and should also speed up site performance somewhat.

KeymasterYeah – private messaging will still exist as a feature, but there's about 40 or 50 megabytes of personal messages in the database that I'd just as soon get rid of. (Slows down the site.)
Also, I may use a different private message tool.
See, here's the dilemma. Joomla 1.5 is now out, but it's a big upgrade and Simple Machines Forum (our forum software) doesn't run with it yet. And may never. So if I want to get the new Joomla features, I have to use a different piece of software to run the forums. There's a new version of phpBB out that is compatible with Joomla 1.5 (this forum originally ran on phpBB, back in the day), and there's also a Joomla-specific forum called FireBoard that looks nice. I haven't decided which to use, yet.
Either way, I'm going to have to do a long, tedious conversion and reindexing, so I plan to purge everything I can before starting.
