Draegan sold the site to MMORPG.com

hodj · Jul 30, 2016

Cool.

We're all going to post on both sites for now, of course.

But this way no one gets left behind, and we have that place all ready up and full of content to keep people engaged in case worse comes to worst.

Can we assume the rules of SS will be approximately the same?

hodj · Jul 30, 2016

If anything I'd assume they'll be the same or even more lax.

Well, I'll give the new owners a chance to prove whether or not they're going to fuck shit up before jumping ship, but yeah, doesn't hurt to have a backup. Guess I'll get set up on rererolled (with the cycle of forums being what it is, I find myself wondering just how many "re"s the name will have in the end; can't wait to start posting at rerererererererererererolled).

I guess best case scenario is the owners marketing this place as the "mature poster" (or "cynical jaded fucks") alternative to mmorpg.com, and leaving it more or less as-is.

We'd probably still end up losing the porn, though.

Well, damn. I want to think this isn't happening but this dude knows the score:

I have my July '16 ticket at Rererolled.org. Thanks for everything, Draegan. Poor show at the end, though.

The Dauntless One · Jul 30, 2016

Site didn't even last 4 years =/

Draegan has always been a fucking clown, no surprise here.

hodj · Jul 30, 2016

I would have been willing to give it a shot if Draegan had even bothered to give us a heads up. Even a simple "I'm tired of running this goddamn place and want to get rid of it. What do you guys want to do?".

Selling us out and not even having the balls to tell us himself? Fuck that.

new site better than morenetz

shit was cancer

With mmorpg.com, it's only a matter of time before they come in and start purging threads.

Increase racism tenfold

Barraco Bisi you better come over the new site when the shit hits the fan. You're too big of a rerolled figure not to.

If we hesitate, when the time comes to make a change, we might not even be able to advertise it here.

Why would a for profit forum allow us to post links to a new forum trying to entice members over?

You're not thinking rationally about this if you're thinking "Well let's just wait and see".

That is what will kill this community.

Not everyone shifting over to a new site in a day or two and picking up right where they left off.

This is a minor blip in our regularly scheduled programming.

WTF, this site was worth money? In the era of universal ad blockers, a messageboard with a community of a few hundred is actually worth money?

I sincerely did not realize this.

hodj · Jul 30, 2016

We've got 295 registered now fellas.

We're all headed over. Teljair just confirmed everything we feared.

Come on in, boys, the waters' fine.

That's a large proportion of the regular posters.

Lurkers don't hesitate to jump ship as well.

If some of the threads/content can be ported over then it's a no brainer. In the absence of that I'm willing to sit back and see what happens, as losing four years of content is a huge kick in the nuts. If at a minimum some of the bigger and more popular threads (ME, Politics, Gamergate, marriage thread, etc) could be migrated it would be a huge incentive to jump ship without hesitation.. Not sure what migration tools are out there that are viable without access to the underlying database though.

hodj · Jul 30, 2016

Few if any, but we're well on our way to creating a new history.

Worry not for the past, for it lies resting in the grave.
