BYC's Software Conversion - Discussion & Information

[speckledhen]

How about one of my favorite quotes in @Judy 's signature:

"Worry is interest paid on trouble before it comes due."

That Judy is a wise woman. I need to see what's up with her. We haven't spoken in awhile. Good time to get that in my head when we're about to be shut down, geez, Cynthia.

Hope it all goes well and we're back up sooner than expected. Best of luck with that, Rob. People are very attached to this place, at witnessed by how antsy they're going to be when it's on hiatus! You've done an amazing job since taking it over ten years ago, my friend.

it would be like trying to sharpen your lawnmower's blade while it's running

That's the easiest way to do it. Just hold up a sharpening stone, and as the blade whips by it gets sharpened. That's how my mentor, the famous web designer one-armed Jack, taught me to do it.

I bet that is exactly WHY he is one armed...

The plan is to have this and other features for GFM's and PPM's. Not everything will be the same, but we'll do the best we can. There will be new GFM / PPM benefits too

fun!! i wonder what they'll be!!

This ^. The look of the new site is soooooooo similar to what you see now.

awesome!

Now that Im done sucking up to the boss man I think we should take this old site out in style !!

Bye Bye Huddler !

ROFL!!!!

Aw, c'mon, blooie... Join BYH and stick with the BYC refugee threads. Nice, familiar peeps there, and no loose cows.

what about Legos????

I ain't gonna bother. Just paging thru mine takes long enough, never mind copying and pasting!

agreed

Can you subscribe to threads like you do here?

yep!!

Not nearly as many as I should. And before you ask me, I couldn't say why that is....I'd love to give some flimsy excuse but I guess the plain truth is that I never thought getting one from me would mean much to anyone. Geez, when I actually sit here and think about it that sounds pretty doggone thoughtless - and that's not who I am Truth be told, Kendra and Katie got the majority of the ones I have.

Now I'm embarrassed.... Where's a hole in the ground when ya need one?

UPDATE: We're expecting BYC to be down for an hour (or maybe more) while we pack up all the data. Unfortunately this can't happen while the site is live... it would be like trying to sharpen your lawnmower's blade while it's running

After that, the old site will be put back up in a "read-only" state while we work on importing all the tons of data into the new platform. This is a LONG process and could take a few days.

thanks
