Awards Moderator Onyx2 Posted June 27, 2013 Awards Moderator Share Posted June 27, 2013 Black2, I don't think anyone has Admin access to the forum at that level any more. Â Ugh. So if the DB crashes (as it used to A LOT), no-one can reset it? And if it gets hacked, again screwed? Â So where is Simon now? AWOL? Â Over on another forum, we've got a mobile skin that basically forces the forum into a more smartphone friendly scale, and it's clever enough to automatically detect that you're viewing on a mobile. It's not perfect, but it's a lot better than this place looks. But that requires an admin with enough rights to both add skins and to edit the board header to put in the javascript that does the detection. Â Exactly the sort of thing I'd suggest. Unfortunately all these sort of things require admin server access. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if the DB crashes (as it used to A LOT), no-one can reset it? And if it gets hacked, again screwed? Moo does have admin access (as does Junkman). The hosting bills are still paid and so Moo would still have server access via FTP and shell. I think Loki probably meant "no person who actually visits the forum has access to the ACP".

Moderators neil Posted June 27, 2013 Author Moderators Share Posted June 27, 2013 I think Loki probably meant "no person who actually visits the forum has access to the ACP". Not quite true. I do. I just can't do much in it. If I did you'd see a sub-forum for morons and they'd be banished to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 What's the barrier to you persuading Moo to give you full access, neil? Is it simply that he's not around to do it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Tommy! Posted June 27, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted June 27, 2013 It must be worth getting everything officially handed over at some point to some one who pop's by more than once a decade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've asked before, it's his forum tho, so he can do as he pleases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loki Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 It's not the most stupid idea in the world to create an alternative UKFF messageboard - at some point Moo will decide to pull the plug and then it'll just be over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loki Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Without pulling the mods' teeny tiny willies too much, any such backup forum should be set up and run by them, not another member. Depending on what neil can see in the Admin forum he could even potentially copy across some members info, even posts. Make a copy of this forum just in case. Â Then if Moomageddon ever happens, the survivors can hole up in their perfect replica. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patiirc Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Otter was shite. Â Didn't say anything about whether it was good or not, just noting that there had been an alternative, young sir. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted June 28, 2013 Moderators Share Posted June 28, 2013 I'm going to set up the No Lokis Forum. Â Who's in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators neil Posted June 28, 2013 Author Moderators Share Posted June 28, 2013 If this forum dies I'm just going to go sign up on the TWCF forum and let them unleash years of pent-up (sexual) aggression towards me. My username will be changed to "TALL CUNT" within minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then we can all follow you and no longer live in fear that our work colleagues think we're supporting the BNP. What's stopping the UKFF from sorting that out? It really does bother me. Can we not run a competition on the forum to create a new logo? Â Running a Google image search for 'ukff logo' is hilarious by the way. Brings up all the entries from the previous thread about the logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
