Before we begin, if you haven't viewed this announcement (http://losttv-forum.com/forum/announcement.php?f=6&a=43) by JacksGirlfriend, please do so before continuing. Go ahead, we'll wait....

OK, with that out of the way, we're sure there are going to be some questions, comments, etc about some of the changes coming to LOST-TV Forums. Those questions, etc, should be asked in this thread regardless of which forum the question is about. This will help us be able to answer your questions in a timely manner and also ensure that none are missed.

Thanks for your time and understanding during this process.

Due to some unforeseen complications, the initial Phase II launch is taking longer than planned. We'll have things patched up soon, but in the mean time, please excuse the mess.

Question #1:

In this so-called "New Forum," will I still be able to blame TPTP?

John
09-17-07, 02:24 AM
There will be some shuffling while we push vB to it's limit, so please be patient. Areas like C&CD are going to be very difficult. We'll get it all worked out, but we have a lot of changes to make.

ETA: Kelly, I doubt anything could stop you from that.

We're not moving anywhere. Basically we'll be changing the way this forum looks (shuffling around, adding forums and sub-forums) but we aren't moving.

Everything that you see here now will continue to be here. :)

Will you be leaving a trail of breadcrumbs for us to follow so we don't get lost in some new foreign forum?

Will there be a free buffet and open bar every night?

Am I supposed to be asking serious questions or are the above okay?:D

I fear change... especially when I like the status quo.

This board has changed before, there are always improvements going on around here, given that it's the people who made and keep it a great place to come to, I expect only good things.

They've always done it right, so why would they fail now?

Saying they have always done it right is a subjective comment. I don't think they've always done it right, and there have been things that have happened to the board in the past that I have disagreed with...

What I am saying though is that while I disagreed with some decisions, those issues were not big enough to make me upset to any degree. I just dealt with them, as I will anything else that comes up that I might have personally done differently.

I am neither mod, nor admin... so it's really none of my bidness. I did my duty as a mere member and posted my feelings on those changes in the past, and then moved on and dealt with the final decisions. I'm sure the same thing will happen with the upcoming changes. I'll mention a thing or two I would have done differently, but then I will move on to the acceptance phase of my 12 step program.

It looks like the "Other TV" section is being expanded, which is great, because I hope to discuss all the new shows here and not have to go to any other websites. Mainly, because I like the folks here and value their opinions. While you're making changes, can we have a little area for the caption contest ? (both the current and older ones in one place)

Khan
09-17-07, 04:38 PM
It is a subjective comment Warty, but I was speaking in general terms.
Like you I disagree certain things and have been vocal about them, spoilers, over sensitivity about topic discussions, newbie eating and now a new peeve, fanzillas who get angry when you don't like thier honey baby darling sweetie pie and want the Mods to shut don't conversations the moment thier thier love fests are interupted. Unfortunately the moment things shut down in that thread, it'll go back to squeeing, which was thier intention.

So no place is perfect, but youhave to go with the flow, because it's one of the best boards on the net. The reason for that are the people who designed it in the first place and thier determination to keep a high standard.

BTW I don't know them, I've had a chat or two with Suil a long time ago, but it was not personal and I have know idea who Master Xander is or what he's like. I'm familiar enough with a few Mods to tease them, gotten pissed off more than once, so I don't have ties with anyone of administration.

When I say I trust thier abilities and feel they've done an excellent job so far it's not out of personal connections. I'm judging by thier overall track record, skill, effort, and proven ability.
And yeah I know you wern't accusing me of anything, I'm think I know you better tahn that and I understand what you were saying. I'm very much looking forward to whatever changes these people decide to do and can't curb my enthusiasm or trust in thier ability to make this even better.

Warthawg1
09-17-07, 05:27 PM
That's right.. no place is perfect, and no place other than my own board will ever be exactly the way I want it or think it should be.

That's what I am a sayin'. We will all have our little things we think could have been done better or what not, but it'll be good over all and we will all
adjust accordingly.

First let me say, that while I'm not a huge fan of change, I can see that this particular change could be very exciting, and ultimately give all of us a cool new (yet same old) place to hang out.

OK, I have my cheerleading out of the way. :D

Now, what is the motivation for the change? I can see the possibilities for life beyond LOST, but is there more to it?

It would roll on, but with a different list of active members. I for one would not be back if I woke up tomorrow and a particular list of select current members was gone. On a positive note, that's why changes to forum format do not really concern me. As long as a certain list of current members is still here, then I'll still be here.

I hope you're correct. It's not the format of this board, nor any technical bells and whistles that keep me here. It's a core group of people who I really enjoy. I've visited many boards, and I always come back here because often a majority of the people on those other boards....quite frankly.... SUCK. They are often huge message boards with all sorts of neat features and formats, but if the members suck... the members suck. Most everyone at L-TV does not suck, and that's why I can most often be found here.

Hey you guys.... I post this in the BooB thread last week: Click here (http://www.losttv-forum.com/forum/showpost.php?p=1755034&postcount=581) And I was kinda saying what you all are saying in your posts in THIS thread. :shiny:

Life beyond LOST is part of it. The software that the site runs on (vBulletin) changes over time as well giving us the ability to do different things. I don't think there are any changes coming that are going to cause people to stop coming here, nothing that drastic, but they're enough that people are going to notice a difference. :)

ETA - RunLoganRun - I'll keep that idea simmering for the time being. ;)

Heh. So this explains the face-lift. :p

Others here have pretty much covered my feelings. I’m cool with it, and I think "shaking things up" a bit is a great idea. The posters are my favorite feature about the forum (the discussions, exchanges of opinion, and just plain silliness in some places). In other words, I’ll still be hanging 'round here regardless of Lost. The overall quality of the board and sense of community are what give this place its appeal.

I don’t know the admins either, but I lurked this forum for years before I began posting, and they (along with the mods) have always been very consistent with these things. They were brilliant when it came to handling the ezboard mishap (not to mention salvaging what they could), and each move has been a smooth transition. (In my opinion, this forum has been more consistent than the show it’s centered around. ;))

I trust the change will work out just fine.

seriously though, i like the idea of expanding beyond lost. its kind of like a one stop shopping store. get it all here!

i NEVER used to go into the community section, untill this hiatus, and i am glad i did. in the past, i would just not post during the hiatus (im sure taht made some people happy), but ive stayed active. i look forward to seeing what kind of doors this opens.

i am just tired of waiting... when is it going to happen?

I'm not sure, it may put a strain on the servers but it isn't really any different than retrieving an image.

The client is the one retrieving the video from the service (YouTube), all that vBulletin does is retrieve the image and provide the client with the correct URL to the video and player (MIME) information.

It was a white page with colorful font/print that said something like "Welcome to the NEW LOST-TV Website" but it flashed up and then was gone and replaced by the regular main page :blinkie:

Once the changes are all made, your usual spots will be where they'll be. You'll know where they are and you can go there, easy as pie. :D

When you have extra time, you can then explore the other areas that have opened up, if you so desire.

It really won't be much different, once you get used to the new structure.

It's going to take some getting used to, that's for sure. I think that once everyone gets used to the place, it'll make navigation a lot easier. If you get lost, just let one of us know. We have maps but they're penciled on the back of cocktail napkins. Hopefully we can point you in the right direction. :)

LPU
09-20-07, 11:15 PM
I don't think that it's a a matter of navigation or "getting lost" for most. I think it's a matter of size and not being able to keep up with the growth of the damned place. Most will adjust. Some will curl up in a ball in their old spots, and some will leave. It's like going having a childhood haunt torn down in favor of a sprawling MegaMall. Sorry.

Again, for me it's not about getting "lost" or having trouble with navigation. It's purely about time. I can find my old spots just fine. I can find the new spots just fine. I don't need help. This place is already massive, and I have a feeling it's going to get even bigger. Again though, I only have evenings. By the time I'm caught up it's going to be time for bed. It's an issue of time. Plus, I'm wondering what a sprawling forum will do to the community aspect of the board. I hope it doesn't quell discussions because people have to take so long to go to everywhere they want to go that they don't have as much time to stay in one place and discuss.

I understand your points completely. I'm not here all day either and it comes down simply to time for me as well. That said, I have no intention of visiting every forum, every day. Unless someone is here all day, I don't think it's really possible nor feasible honestly. If they can, more power to 'em. However, by opening up new areas, we're hoping to keep more people here so they don't have to go to another forum to talk about, say, home entertainment equipment (that's just an example). These places are new and because of that they're going to be busy initially. As far as categories go, we're pretty much done with the additions. We may fine tune here and there but that's about it.

Oh, LPU, no apology necessary. Criticism is helpful. :Cheers:

Lab
09-21-07, 01:00 AM
It will definitely take some adjusting, but you will all find what you are used to looking for, and more.

I never have the time to get on during the day, my job isn't like many of yours, but I don't fear being able to read up in the evenings where I so desire.

You should all still be able to get around, you will just have to get used to the navigation and new areas.

Having the titles of spoiler threads appear when clicking "new posts" is not new, FYI. I've been using that feature for a long time, and I have a work around. I go to the spoilers forum first and mark that forum read. Then I can browse the new posts without seeing any titles, if I so desire.

Okay, I admit it, I've been lured a couple of times....:innocent:

How about a Food section? Then I can start a Tofu Thread. :)

Oh, did we miss that one? Hmmm... I'm sure it's on the blueprints.

You people need to ease up on the psychodelic drugs.

You'll have to pry them from my cold, dead hand:nanabobo:

Have you asked the guys around here about that? I mean, I love Noav and he's a good looking guy and all, but let's not get carried away. ;)



Indeed I have...and don't worry we all want naked you pics to

Lick your computer screen. It has the same flavor.

K, that actually made me laugh out loud:D

It'll take me a while to get used to all these new boards; What's the difference between the DVD discussion of your favorite DVD's and the DVD reviews? They seem the same to me.

See the lower left hand corner of your pics MayBear? Where it says "---New- Opera Users"? You should change that to "Lost-TV New" and that should fix it. It looks like you're using Safari anyway. Just a thought. :)

Hmmm...ok. During the upgrade last night I had a recording utility going and well I captured it in action.

If you watch you'll see it momentarily in the video below. This is the indisputable proof, so TPTP and the Gang can stop denying it. :D

I think you need to add a 'random thoughts' thread....

I have those a lot. I would love to have a place to put them, and get feedback.

Love what you've done with the place. Keep it up! I'll be here until the bitter end. Mostly lurking, but would love a place to ask random questions, or make stupid remarks. I'm a simple person. Due to time constraints, probably simpler than I want to be. Uh oh, there's that time issue again......

I love you people! Not a bowhunter here anywhere! ;)

Meh. It's just like moving from a small town to a big city. You're shy at first, don't know where to go or what to do. But eventually get into a routine, have the places you visit, make your new haunts just like your old haunts. Except in THIS case, your old haunts will still be here! (It's the best of both worlds!)

Leave it to scot to ease my mind.:);)

I have a suggestion! At the end of the loooooooong forum choices, could you have the "back to top" so the scrolling doesn't go on forever again?

"go to middle" would be nice too.

John

We have a solution for that. Stay tuned. :)

Or you could always just press the "home" key to go to the top... Or "page up" to scroll up in bits...

I think the new additions to the Forum are great. I love the Food section and the Library. I have one question - shouldn't the Lost related forums be first since this is a Lost board? :) Or are you organizing things alphabetically?

Also I have a (not serious) suggestion - Could we have a Police Blotter section where we can find out why people have been banned? :D I know, I know, it's really none of my (or anyone else's) business, but I'm always curious! (okay, nosey!)

Reverse the situation, brdmom. If you did something to get banned, would you want people to know about it? Would you want it posted so everyone could read it, discuss it, and mock or criticize you?

I don't think making the reasons for bannings public does the forum any good.

Budman, I completely and totally understand why bannings are private, and as I said, I wasn't serious. But, I do always wonder when someone suddenly has that banned notice...

Not only that, if the mods were trying to list every disciplinary infraction they dealt with (God bless them for their work!!), they'd never have time for anything else, and we want them to continue to do the great work they do (and they need to buff up for those nude photos we keep getting promised...:D ).

Really, just joshing....

No, but there will be addition URLs that will get you here:

BSGtv-forum.com
mymedia-forum.com

Those are some and others will show up as we go along.

I'm telling you, TPTP, the less butter or Crisco you put in, the dryer the cookies are! Butter or Crisco will make the cookies chewier.

Is there anyone who can help me out here?
