The welcome thread, new members report here.. or not ;)

[huggle]

The harrassing wasn't that bad. One gets used to it. At that time (7 or 8 years ago), someone spawned evil rumours about me and - well, you know how such things usually go - there are always a few fools who believe it. I still get attacked now and then but I never take it serious. (and I daresay the fact that I don't get angry is what angers my opponents most. And that in turn cheers me up enormousely, heehee )

Am I right to assume the old Kellyz was a phpBB board, version 2.*? (To my shame I must admit that I never consciousely looked at the copyright when I posted there.)
Having been an admin there, do you by any chance happen to have a backup of the database?
I had the same problem with my boards when my server was upgraded, but by now there is a conversion programme that allows the software to automatically be adapted to the 3.* version which runs smoothly on the upgraded server.
If you have a backup, maybe I can restore the board on my server. I can't promise anything, but I'll give it a try.

[Santaman]

KK ran on an old version of Invision powerboard, there is no backup of the database.

[RJDiogenes]

Nope, Kellyz is just a memory now.

[huggle]

I see. Did anyone save a few threads maybe? Or a few screenshots?

[RJDiogenes]

As far as I know, nothing remains.

[huggle]

well, all good things must come to an end, one day.
At least this little spin off is alife and kicking

[KatyJane]

I actually have a few really old kellys threads somewhere.

[Santaman]

Post them!

[RJDiogenes]

Yeah!

[GMac]

Whilst I'm not strictly speaking a new member, it's been that long since I last visited, I may as well be So hello to one and all!

[Santaman]

Hey, nice to see you again.

[RJDiogenes]

Welcome. Er, welcome back. What's up?

[NX2000]

Heh. Same here.

Must admit, I miss the old brown board.

[Santaman]

We don't have a real tech at the moment so all we can do is keeping this old barge afloat.

[NX2000]

well, rust is a sorta brownish color, right? Heh.

Can someone show me what the old brown template looked like? A saved thread (html or mht) would be ideal. I could then write a copy for phpBB3 which Santy could install here.
A screenshot would work, too, it'd just be a bit more complicated as I'd have to guess the right colours while in a html or mht they are listed in the source code

Hmm... let's have a look through archive.org:

Hmm... not getting much luck here...

[Hamblin]

Hello, I'm not a new member, but I'm new (sort of, in an old sort of way), so I'm reporting here regardless.

I went ahead and posted an introduction post anyway...but here is my second one! Hello!

[Santaman]

Ye gods! its the Royal Navy!

Long time no see.

[RJDiogenes]

Welcome back, Hamblin.

[Hamblin]

Hello all once again! I'll be sure to make the chat on saturday so I can reacquaint myself with you all more properly.

[RJDiogenes]

And I probably won't be there. Figures. I always seem to miss it when somebody out of the ordinary shows up.

[Hamblin]

And I probably won't be there. Figures. I always seem to miss it when somebody out of the ordinary shows up.

I am pretty out of the ordinary, yeah. I once buttered my toast on BOTH SIDES!

I tell you, I won't be forgetting THAT rollercoaster of a day any time soon...

[Jim Gamma]

Good job you didn't drop it, it wouldn't know which side should face downward!

May or may not make it, due to probably needing to get an early night. Sorry.

[RJDiogenes]

I am pretty out of the ordinary, yeah. I once buttered my toast on BOTH SIDES!

If you put jelly on both sides of your toast and drop it-- how would it know which way to land?
