Board will be locked for a while, the osdev stuff is moving over to bonafide. The AGI/SCI stuff will stay here. All your passwords will stay the same, so dont panic. More news to come! |

There are some important issues with the new forum. Javascript errors when attempting to create a new thread. Unable to login. It's definitely not as pretty as mega-tokyo and doesn't have all the bugs worked out. I don't think moving away from Mega-Tokyo to an obviously immature system without testing was a good idea. Mega-Tokyo is an important feature of the OS development community... it feels bad that it's gone missing like this. Plus I have some important questions I need help on and I can't post it anywhere anymore! arg.. PS. I've tested in firefox and IE. The new forums don't allow login or creating of new threads for me. |

Woah, this place'll be different without the OS-devers getting into each other's hair ;D Just kidding. It looks odd, though. Will take some time getting used to this. |

Good to know. Perhaps the move should be aborted until they have it all working properly. |

Sorry to say this, but... YUCK! ::) :-X :-[
Sorry to say, but I am not likely to use the new forum at all. I'd suggest removing the new boards over there and unhiding them here, before the "General" and "Off-Topic" boards get too much out of sync and until the "new home" gets up to par. I fear you'll be killing the OS Dev forum otherwise. I mean, great that you got it working somehow, but why the sudden rush, and without testing phase before you chuck everything over? |

Oh, and one more thing:
Undo this move. There are issues to be sorted out first, IMHO. |

I see that osmaker is working on fixing the shortcomings of the new forum, and have cross-posted my complaints to the new board. As there are already more people posting to the new board than here, it seems I have to go with the flow. I still think that the "General Programming" subforum shouldn't be seperated from the OS Dev subforum. Many threads have been moved from one to the other, many cross-links exist, and the need to move threads will remain in the future. To a lesser extend, that holds true for the Off-Topic subforum, too. I can see where you'd want to keep an Off-Topic forum for the AGI / Sierra bunch, but - and I don't mean this to belittle that community - I am under the impression that the vast majority of the Off-Topic threads was populated by the OS Dev'ers. Perhaps it'd be better to start a new Off-Topic here, and have the old threads on osdever.net only. |
