Guest RenegadeX28 Report post Posted February 27, 2003 Well, as we all know, the board will be upgrading tomorrow night. I just wanted to ask to any of the admins (Dames, etc), will there be new features added to the board or anything? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Dames 0 Report post Posted February 27, 2003 With the improvements, there ARE some new features, but whether or not I enable them depends on how well they work and if you guys want them. Right now, I can't tell you off hand what they are. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LaParkaYourCar 0 Report post Posted March 1, 2003 So when is this going to happen? The board isn't down right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest areacode212 Report post Posted March 1, 2003 It'll probably happen sometime later tonight (it's only 7:30pm over here) when most people are sleeping. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest TheGame2705 Report post Posted March 1, 2003 Board is still untouched... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LaParkaYourCar 0 Report post Posted March 1, 2003 was the board updated??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Midnight Express83 Report post Posted March 2, 2003 maybe it was real smooth and did update without shutting down. this is also a pipe dream idea. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest MrRant Report post Posted March 2, 2003 Na... if you look at the bottom of the board we are still at v.1.0.1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Anglesault Report post Posted March 2, 2003 If it happens tomorrow, I'll take it as a great big birthday present for ME~! Of course, if it happens and I can't post on the one day of the year where I have a legitimate reason to act over bearing and bossy in the OAOAST, I'll take it as a "Fuck You" from the noted authority figure who recently stated his intense dislike for me on another board. Or, I could just not care either way. I'm COMPLEX~! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Dames 0 Report post Posted March 2, 2003 Eh, I dont intensely dislike you anymore. Your shtick is just irritating at times. As for the board upgrade....read above. Dames Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
