if you can't get on Milliways..Tam had issues and I dont know why..try /server irc.nightstar.net it'll give you a random one but they ARE still working out bugs..
(Reiver) We're getting a lot of questions regarding the previous announcement, so here's a little FAQ: You will shortly be disconnected as we go through the upgrade process. Don't panic if you can't immediately reconnect, it'll take a few minutes for the DNS information to spread through the internet. You should be able to reconnect via irc.nightstar.net, if not try milliways.nightstar.net or deepthought.nightstar.net instead. - (Reiver) Once you have reconnected to the new servers, you will need to re-register your nicks. using the syntax /msg nickserv REGISTER <password> <email> - make sure the email is real, because you will need to access it to complete your registration. You can then re-register any channels you own via '/msg chanserv REGISTER <#channel> <password> <description>'. - PING? PONG! - (Reiver) For the duration of the move, the official policy on channel and nick registration is 'play nice'. We have a copy of the old databases we can refer to; if we get complaints about channel thefts or similar shenanigans, the offenders will be Dealt With appropriately. We strongly recommend you do not try it. - (Reiver) Again, if you have any concerns or questions, feel free to pop into #Nightstar to ask for assistance. Thank you for your patience. -
(Syloq) We will now begin shutting down the old servers, Troika, Blargh, and finally Deepthought. Troika and Blargh will be retired into new servers over the next week so thank you for being patient with all this chaos. As a final word, thank you to everyone who helped Nightstar become what it has today. And my final statement to the network before the switch of is: "So long NSIRCd and thanks for all the fish" - (Reiver) So long Troika, and thanks for all the fish...
<Nightstar> [Logon News - Sep 08 2009] We want to remind everyone that on September 12th 2009 we will be switching to a new IRCd and services package. With this switch we will be losing our services database. So that means you will have to re-register your cannels and nicknames. If you need help please feel free to stop by #Nightstar as our staff will be extremely happy to help you.
make sure you have any info about any channel or nicks you have regged so you can rereg them on Saturday. <Softpaw> What time will the servers be resat on Saturday? <JustBob> The process is anticipated to occur sometime on Saturday. <JustBob> We are unable to provide specific details at this time. <Softpaw> ok thanks <Kazuma> I'd imagine it's be whenever the work is done
Ahh, the glory of Trillian Astra, when it goes live, all your lists are no longer stored on your computer... The latest build seems to be going smoothly as well... If in a pinch, you can always use Meebo (meebo.com) as a web-based messenger, that hosts your messenger contacts and accounts when you're on the go. Astra will support such a feature, but they've had it disabled for a while now, just to get the client side working right.

I had to do a total reinstall of Trillan..I THINK It saved all my
contacts but if you have me on one of the following please IM me with
ALL of them
Looks like I might be out of a computer for a little while. It shut
down on me suddenly today and every time I try to turn it back on it
starts up then suddenly shuts off. I think the fan on my liquid cooler
locked up, I found one of the same size but it has a different
connector. If I can get it to boot I'll be around, otherwise I won't
be. I hope its just an overheating issue and shutting down to prevent
damage.
I realized that most of my syreen girls would not be as, well colorful as they are due to most female birds are rather drab. So I added a change to the race stating that syreen females have the same coloration as the males. This developed due to most humaniod races like their women folk pretty instead of drab. And since they had other ways of protecting themselves they lost the drab colorzation needed to hide normal female birds.
The odd building on the edge of town is taking more shape, but its an odd shape, curves and towers and curlicue bits seem to be covering it. It's near impossible to find a straight side. No one is ever seen building it, new additions just appear randomly.
THE CAKE IS A LIE!

If Thad bob and I all vanish from the net its because a disconnected
notice for our phone/net service got stuck in the pages of a junk mail
paper that I always just trash. I had to go digging to find it in fact.
But our phone has been and soon the net will be disconnected till we
can get 300 to pay it off. We don't know when this will be. Bob's next
paycheck will be small and mostly go towards rent. Plus We're already
slightly in the negative due to something pulling money out that I
forgot about. And Thad doesn't think his will be large enough to cover
it and gas for work and the last weekend of Whitehart. So it may not be
till Bob's paycheck after the next.
My cell will still work if I
am really needed after I vanish. 14174400248 Though If I don't pick up
assume I just didn't hear the ring.
July is just starting out really lousy right now.

so..since most of you should know..I lost my entire hard drive on saterday. I have found some backups ....from 2005. If I have any more recent I haven't found em yet. I've also managed to recover some files, but I don't think IRC logs are among them.
I'd really aprecated it if everyone sent me their inn logs and logs of private rps with me from the middle of 2005 to now. And anything else you can think to send me.
Thanks
*a very depressed and heartbroken*

While you may know about this by now, I'd like to point everyone
to this site: http://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-562-228-7160
The phone number at the tail end of there is from a company called
Great Atlantic Warranty. They are phone scammers, claiming that your
car warranty (no matter if they believe you have a car or not) is near
to, or out of, expiration. There are a couple phone numbers that are
attached to this company, including a pair of 800 numbers that don't
cost you a dime to call, but can cost them per call.
1-888-898-8778
1-888-858-8448
If you're like Shane right now, and on
Dial-up, there are some free programs that you can use to force-dial
these
numbers, hang up, and dial again (and wash, rinse, repeat, every few
seconds).
If you get this call, a recorded message will tell you that your
car warranty is about to expire, and that you can press 1 to talk to a
representative. If you do, use this script: http://www.xs4all.nl/~egbg/counterscript.html
Find out as much information as possible from them, and DO NOT give them any of your info.
Period.
The only other option the voice tells you is to press 9 to be removed
from the call list. It does not work, so don't bother.
This was a public service announcement, from your friendly neighborhood
Marshmellow.
The domain transfer went MUCH faster then when I moved my personal sight. So the inns page now is at its new home and all orginal bookmarks and what have yous will point to the right place.

Everyone,
The re-creation of the wiki was difficult, to say the least. I've got a few notes about it, which if you run into any problems, you might want to remember:
First, users were not (NOT) kept. Yes, user's pages are still there, but to log in with the name and password will be met with denial. Recreate your username in the exact form you created it in before (Case Sensitive!). Second, if you find any red underlined links that attempt to go to something called Offline_Wiki:<pagename>, edit that link to read GRIWiki:<pagename>. This database was stored as an offline wiki, and the change of name was just a good idea.
Any other odd anomolies should be reported to me. Most of them, I should be able to take care
of.

The inn's page will soon be a full fledged addon domain of my personal sight on lunarpages. In seven days the gildedroseinn.com addy will point to it's new home on lunar.
For now it's located at http://gildedroseinn.softpaw.org/ which as said will change back to http://www.gildedroseinn.com in a week once the domain name transfer is done.
The wiki is at http://gildedroseinn.softpaw.org/wiki/ so you can get to reupdateing the lost stuff. You'll need to re-create your usernames just as they were (yes, even Case Sensitive names). If you cant remember what cases you used just check the pages you made it should have it on them.
We have the info posted before 2/26/2007 but nothing after, so pretty much anything you posted last year needs to be redone.
Big thanks to Marsh as usual for getting it to work!!

You all remember the Wiki, and how it's been down for a few months now? Well, I can give the simple answer, and I can give the technical answer.
Simple: Fuitadnet got bought out by another company, and during the change of hands, they lost the database that kept all our entries, links, profiles, and everything. Any data that you might have put up after February 2007 is lost. I'm sorry.
Technical: Fuitadnet, again, got bought out by another company, and that company demanded a restructuring of their server schema. During the change, they left many, many users' SQL databases behind. Apparently, the backend database was completely lost, and they have no backups (reportedly) of the time prior to the takeover. Their tools are completely fubar, broken, and ill-suited to do any web-management, let alone SQL management.
Now, I bet by now, you all are wondering what we're going to do! I've got a backup of the database from back in February of last year (2007) that will need to act as our new starting point. Hey, it's a lot better than starting from scratch, right?
When we transfer the website to its new home with LunarPages, I'm going to put this backup up there as our new starting point. I hope everyone will be okay with this, as it's the only solution we have.
As per the last e-mail I sent http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/GildedRose/message/1867 I am about to clean out the emails on the mailing list. I am mailing this out separately to all known emails of those that have not responded..
For the record that is Ger, Fred, Megs, Leion, Kristy, Kris and Paul.
You have one more day to respond or show up in channel. Or I am removing you from the mailing list.
Softpaw --Realm of the Fae Kitty, my Personal page. http://www.softpaw.org/
There are NOT 16 people that come to the IRC channel.
In a week if you do not show up on irc or sound off here with why your not on irc I will remove you from the mailing list.
Everyone is set to getting the emails and HAS said stuff on the list in the past so I know you all can get the mails.
Personally I'd just love to see people come back to role playing and not have to delete you but if your not coming to the channel there is no point of you being on this list anymore. A few of you haven't been on the channel in YEARS and a lot has changed since you left.
