45 days later, I can finally say "It's time"

WSForums has finally gone live!

www.wsforums.org

for those interested in checking it out, please feel to drop buy. Simply log in with the same user name and password you have here, and you are ready to go. It's that simple.

Although not 100% complete, the site is IMO in the high 90's with only minor things left, However today being the 1st of the month, and a Friday, I deided to not wait any longer and pull the trigger.

I expect to try and finish it all up this weekend and deal with any issues you guys may find. but that said, this site will always be an ongoing project and as such, it will never truly be 100% complete.

I think most will be happy with the result, I know I am and I am pretty hard on myself at times.

I again, want to thank everyone for their patience. i realize it took a lot longer then i expected, but I hope that when you vist, you will notice how polished everything is.

Lastly, I would like to list and thank the people that have joined the WSF Staff, I think you will agree, it's quite the awesome team:

Admins: Greek Wizard, Chexx

Global Mods: Beaner, Solipsta, Nelmo

When you get there, don't immediately go after my game high scores. Go after those guys with a zillion high scores first! Wink

Be sure to check out the game tournaments. Those are a lot of fun.


Enjoy!

Once you build up some you will be able to use them to purchase team logos for your profile, among other perks relating to the forum. You will also be able to use them for playing games and game tournaments, as well as placing bets on sporting events through vbookie. Wink Probably some other uses that I don't even know about yet.

Can you PM on the board? If you shoot me a PM over there (on the WSForums), I'll look into it for you tomorrow morning.

I had that problem too. Fortunately I was able to open one thread and it said that I had negative vbBux. I think that is why. TRD was kind enough to loan me enough points so I could go do stuff again. Thanks buddy!

This issue has been corrected.

I have also added 1000 points (vbBux) to each user for any issues this may have caused.

That said, PLEASE PLEASE do not post ANY support issues regarding WSForums here at SB.org

If you have posting abilities, then use the Support Forum at WSF.

If you can't post, then please use the Contact us form at wsforums.org instead.

Every time I survey the internet and figure out the sites I like, a few million fools add or modify more sites and I have to do it all over again... Wink

Normally I would not post about issues about WSForums here but the reason the site is down is because our server host has experienced a major fiber cut near Philadelphia.

For those interested you can follow the discussions/updates here:

http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=567387

I guess the jist of it is, some guy in a backhoe in Philadelphia dug up a major fiber optic line and has shut down many many servers and not just us.

They are working on it and we hope things are corrected ASAP, but things like this usually take 12 hours or so from the time it is discovered. The latest ETA is 11:00PM EST to 1:00AM EST, but again, that is a guess.. splicing fiber optic cables is not just a patch up job.

Sorry guys, but this is out of our control and such things unfortunately happen.

Damn, how long do you think we'll be down? If you can really even venture a guess on this question.

I really want to get into the chat, best part of it by my opinion.
