| I figured we should start a new thread that answers can be given to questions concerning the change over.
I just thought of 1 important question.
What about [email protected]?
Do we get to keep our old accounts?
Will the new board get a [email protected]?
How exactly will the Web-Email accounts work?

| Unfortunately, they will be lost.
It looks like we will be using Thehellhole name. It's already on this server, so it will be the easiest to direct. And we have a web-based mail set up for it already, so people can switch over if they like.
I believe in the Faith... that can save me.
I believe in the hope and I pray...
That someday it may raise me... above these badlands

| Well then let's continue where we left off then, with the discussion of second chances, letting the banned back on and some other insight and opinion.
Before that, like I said I am all for TheHellHole.com
Here was my last reply to Joey asking about giving PB a second chance.
Let me explain by what I mean by second chance. I am not gonna talk to, IM, PM, E-mail, Phone call, nor even acknowlege Straw's existence. I will just ignore her, no status changes, nothing. I am quite sure she will stay out of my way as well. That is what I mean by second chance, what she did is unforgivable to me. Just as what PB did to you is even worse actually.
But I am saying that if we go to a new board with old bullshit then nothing will change. Like I told froy last week, changing the scenary won't fool anyone. People here may be silly and retards but most of them ain't dumb.
I am willing to change, I think all of us should do the same and try and make this work.
As far as banned members, if froy agrees I think we should have some sort of agreement or a consensus where we nominate several banned members. All of us that is and then we pick the top 10 or something like that. I don't think letting mavric back on is a good idea not cause of him but of what his name carries even though he'll join anyway. JMB won't last he really won't. But that's up to you all, just my suggestion. PB will just bring back old drama in my opinion we need to distance ourselves from those people.
I really do wanna do it right this time, i think we all do. Those who don't really should speak up now, I think we got everyone's opinion except for a few but we should be 100% on this all of us not jus 75% of us. If you're not gonna mod or post or anything just say so now.

| I think by allowing all banned members back, it shows that we are willing to forget past history and politics and at least give everyone a chance to start fresh.
If they then continue their ways and do the same things that got them banned in the first place, at least we can say we were fair and made the effort.
I believe in the Faith... that can save me.
I believe in the hope and I pray...
That someday it may raise me... above these badlands

| I agree on letting certain banned members back. The wackbaggers aren't coming back for nothing except for Mavric. Stingray is gonna be juicing his fuckin pants when he finds this out. But since they have a certain mod named "Son Of (EDIT)", lol maybe ahem anyway. JMB will come back and last a couple weeks at the most. We will get a ton of people coming back though.
I have spoken to a lot of members who quit or were going to quit as of yesterday and today. I got most of them to give it some time. I spoken to lurkers and I think they'll fall back into it. The only person I haven't gotten a response from is OAS.

| As far as losing the email accounts, I would hope that you give ALL the members AMPLE time to save etc... any emails that they wish to save, back-up address books, and send out notifications of their address change to people that they wish to do so with. I feel that that is a TOP PRIORITY.
As far as zeroing back the post counts, some may feel that they worked really hard for it, and I am not talking about Gonzo, and others will be the ones who will whore themselves ala Alkey, like the assf's back in the Fall of '00. I have mixed feelings on this, but I am definitely leaning towards leaving them in tact.
As far as the unbanning and removal of statuses go, I will cut and paste my feelings from the other thread -
quote:
As far as the removal of statuses, I am neither for nor against it, even though I would think that a good bit of statuses have show references, which would be out of place. Starting fresh on statuses may be a good idea considering that.
I am not for letting back the banned.
3 reasons -
1. The ones that would come back are just chomping at the bit, for whatever that means, to post/bash their excitement of the fall of OA.com
2. They will have the attitude of 'well, now you need us 'cause O&A dumped your sorry asses' which will make us look weak.
3. We will be perceived as desperate.
I know it is 'excitement' but it will only be temporary excitement.
I will not comment any further on this, I just wanted to put it out there for something to consider.
As far as Gonzo asking about those of us who are commited or not to the change over...
I already posted that I am not going anywhere.
I think that's all for now.

| I have to agree with Slash to some extent..
I'm here, I ain't giving up.. quite frankly, if this were the Titanic, I'ld be the chef.. pretty much last one on the boat to hit the water lol.
I also agree with his points about letting banned members back in.. as I just posted in another thread I am rabidly against certain people being let back in.. let's be honest.. some people allready had their chance and then some.
No! I am NOT a Goth Dude!!

| When I make the announcement, I will make note of the fact that the everyone.net email addresses will be wiped out, and that they should save whatever they want to keep.
We all know how quickly statuses will pop back up, so I don't see that clearing out the old shit and starting clean will be a big deal.
I believe in the Faith... that can save me.

| I think we're all in agreement as far as cleaning the stauses go. I was also maybe thinking of getting rid of the bouncing names and replace it with maybe changing our font colors to signify a mod. Just to try and get away from the old and start anew. We trully aren't rebuilding, we are stripping off dead skin in my opinion.

| ok... i'm not sure if this will be affected, but what about all the people (myself included) that use their oa.com e-mail as their address for the board... we have to make all those people change their address to avoid problems like lost password & such....
Also, I think it may be a good idea to hold onto the oa.com address for at least a month or two, so that the people who don't read the board everyday will know what happened... maybe put up a "We have Moved to..." type page that re-directs people to our new home.... just a suggestion...

I agree, i don't see the point of removing Mod/Admin statuses. Let me know, I will just save mine first and replace it, if need be.
About the names bouncing back and forth vs. the coloring of the mod/admins... we are going to get enough ridicule for what went down, do we really need to hear that we ripped off another site from some instigating whiney cunts from said, rather unsaid, site? It's not a bad idea to change it, I am just looking at that angle as well.

Good idea.
In fact, the mass email feature should be used to email all existing members of oa.com about the name/domain change and the loss of the [email protected] addresses. Of course people like Maynerd etc.. will receive the email (since they are neither banned nor deleted, but that's the price to pay for the integrity of letting the members here know everything they need to know to make the transistion that less painful.
The redirect is also an excellent idea as well.
Go smoke some more Moron and come back with some more ideas ;)

I say keep post count. I'm sentimental that way and it will also show that this is not the first site. I think that is an important statement.
Banned members? Well, I suppose some second chances should be granted, but I think it should be open to a case-by-case analysis.

| I think we can safely say that certain members for example Fingerbang, Drunkboy, Darx, Mavric, PsychoBitch and others should not even be cosnidered.
People who will be cancerous to the site especially in its infancy, we have to be careful cause we don't know if people are gonna take it well when the announcement is made.
