the site is oddly not known by the media, while fairly known by mmo gamers. I mean, look at shilling, etc. Yet, nothing Kurt said here made the press. The press and gaming sites didn't know about it.

You'd be surprised, actually. Our GamerGate thread is one of the more notorious on the web hahahaha. In fact, during the height of the GamerGate thing, Gawker's own Sports Site (Deadspin) called us out for FoH's misanthropic legacy:

Gawker/Deadspin said:
Bringing together the grievances of video game fans, self-appointed specialists in journalism ethics, and dedicated misogynists, it's captured an especially broad phylum of trolls and built the sort of structure you'd expect to see if, say, you'd asked the old Fires of Heaven message boards to swing a Senate seat. It's a fascinating glimpse of the future of grievance politics as they will be carried out by people who grew up online.

I wonder if he's realized he was predicting the Trump Train.

God damn, what you guys did to mmoBen's visitor wall. I'm proud to know that when the shit hits the fan we'll all still as misanthropic as we were 15 years ago.

Nah fuck that, communities aren't property unless you live in the South or an HoA.

Is it actually possible to merge the old posts in here? I have been through this process multiple times on various boards and there is always talk about getting an SQL dump of the old site and merging it over but it never actually happens.

Might wanna make a list of whoever is MIA from the old site and have Hodj use his ADHD / hyper Aspie super powers to drop a batch boiler plate PMs in inboxes in case threads explaining the move go vapor. I think we had to do that during MN and RR moves.

It is very possible and we are working on that with or without the official dump. The official dump will be 100x easier.

Unlike probably most other sites I can easily spin up a second VM copy of this one and run a test on it for the importing before we run live with it. They probably try it once and it ends up a disaster and they freak out and give up.

That is cool. Are we talking about an archive of the old posts or could they actually become part of this board where all of the old posts would show up under our posting history on this board?

I am waiting to be contacted with an NDA before that goes any further. I have not heard anything since those posts yesterday from him to include him PM'ing me on the forum but not emailing me yet.

I've been popping in and out of there yesterday and today and haven't experienced any issues. Seems ok today.

Yeah it was bugging out for me earlier too. It wasn't as bad as Jan-Feb but it was definitely timing out and db-error'ing the last few weeks when it was supposed to have been moved to "better" servers.

The trolling of mmoBen is epic. I thought this was a pretty amazing picture that encapsulates what it is like to be a member of this board.
