Hammer and Anvil was actually unit and rules development, notably new Regiments of Renown. It had a decided Dogs of War lean, but developing Regiments of Renown will do that. I still have the last viable version saved on my computer. It's far too old to want to risk putting on the internet now days,...

There are adults today who were not alive when this iteration of the forums was installed. But it has been the longest running and most stable iteration of the boards, and while social media has rather taken over from bulletin boards* (Facebook opened to the general public in 2006), somehow we are s...

I've got this one if it helps?

They're probably somewhere. I'm just not sure where. I wouldn't be surprised if Ricold has parts of it lying around somewhere. If you know how to reach him you could prod him and see if he knows. Yes, and no. Yes, I have the backups from that period, but no means of accessing them in a usable forma...

This is why we didn't have a working library when I handed you the site

Probably... ?

The files would have been in either root, /home, or /library, the database prefix was modx_.

If not, my local copy can be packaged up. But it doesn't work on a modern server due to using a deprecated version of php.

I long aspired to get the library software working again. However I have to be realistic that it wasn't going to happen. elendor_f PMed me yesterday to ask if I could help getting him access to the library. In the process, I discovered that the library software (running on a virtual machine copy of ...

Following a PM from elendor_f, I came to follow this up. The problem with the library is it is a piece of software, and a very old one at that. It doesn't run on a modern server, and I have a fairly complex set up which dates back to 2010 to be able to access my local copy. I did discover that it ha...

With that Very Helpful Elf, look what arrived in the post this morning?



(Although they were stacked better for posting)

Given all the domains are on the same server, the following looks to be technically possible, if beyond my coding skill: Each domain having it's own files, and theme*. When you register from a given domain you lock in that theme (changeable) for your account on all three. When someone registers they...

PM sent

Delay of several weeks is not an issue. Here is the information I can give you though. Getting it shipped to my address was somewhere between USD 6 and 7 (I closed the window by mistake). Shipping to the UK would be about $14 for one set based on the weight they gave, another set probably wouldn't a...

You lovely people are some of the few international friends I have and would trust, and I need a little help. I am trying to buy something that is incredibly hard to get inside the EU, but is relatively easy to obtain in the USA. This is the product: http://www.superdairyboytoys.com/product_info.php...

What is it going to change from the point of view of a regular forum member?

Two: Daeron is now an administrator, and I'm going to give up on it soon.

But otherwise nothing, we've changed backends.

Oh, I suppose if we crash our server it'll take the Druchii down with us.

Welcome to the shores of Naggaroth. We will be setting up camp here while the island makes it's way over. Or in real terms: The site looks like it has transferred with success. Please return to your normal posting. Keep your eyes on www.ulthuan.net. When it stops giving the board offline message, th...

Bump. Just a reminder that this is still (slowly) happening. If I can get decently organised, downtime will be sometime next week

Sorry about the downtime yesterday, taking a full manual backup has never been the most smooth of exercises. I'm starting the process of moving our hosting out from under us. We will be trying desperately not to have more than a few days downtime, but.... you all by now know that my plans have never...

In which case I'm making a decision. We will be going to the Druchii server, and we'll have downtime to deal with in the middle. The slight flaw with your plan there Daeron is that DNS changes have been known to take up to a week to propose to all the cache servers across the internet. We'll just ha...

Daeron wrote:Ricold, how large is the database?

Just over 1GB

In the same way we were briefly 45.40.135.47/~ulthuan/forum we will briefly be ulthuan.druchii.net while we transfer the domain name across

I'm going to turn that last question around at the users: Any last objections?

So it's probably the forum that's been sending us traffic then. Good to know

Does it also have a forum?

This will seem like a strange question, and I never recommend following random links or searches on the internet.

Does anyone here know what Evergore is? It appears to be a German RPG system, but my search skills and Google translate from german are not getting me much further.

I've made another small change that may help, and will probably log you out.

Is it still a no-no even if the item in question is OOP and no longer for sale outside of the re-sale market? Depressingly yes. For this reason I had to go and obtain a copy of Windows 3.1, because despite being over 20 years old and severely deprecated, Microsoft still won't release it as freeware...

... I have no idea. I'm torn between knowledge of how much Google changes and fear that GW may not care.

Shannar: I like comments like that.

There is nothing wrong with asking. If someone were to email you the result, we could prove nothing. However the posting of rules is both against rule 3, not to mention illegal, and from bitter experience GW does not take it lightly. I encourage people to not post answers into pm either, as that cau...

Way to lower the tone John

Really looking forward to more pics from people. Everybody must have at least a couple of characters standing on the shelf surely? :wink: Less so the miniatures, more so photos sitting on the server that I can share: If you want to see how good I was at painting aged approx 11, it's really rather a...
