Magnificent Ornk Student of Trinity Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 The boards don't move very often. The upcoming great shift is a rare opportunity to reflect on the past, and accept its destruction, and anticipate the future. Actaeon has suggested that some kind of formal observance would be good. I think it should be something like the Burning Man festival. So what exactly should we do? My suggestion would be to create exactly one "Burning Board" thread in each of the sub-forums. In each sub-forum, we ask people who regularly read and post in it, or at any rate care about that sub-forum, to take a day or two and think of something fitting to post in the Burning Board. Then everybody makes their one post — no more than one post per user per Burning Board thread. Users could post in the Burning Board threads of as many sub-forums as they want, but only one post per thread. Optionally, we keep all these Burning Board threads forever, as some sort of memorial to UBB. Alternatively, we deliberately delete them after the move. I'm actually inclined to favor the second option. Fare forward, voyagers. Horseman, pass by. Any other suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon The Almighty Doer of Stuff Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 I suggest we set fire to the building housing the spidweb.com server. Just a suggestion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast keira Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Yes, but spiderwebforums.com is not the same server as spidweb.com, so that would be counterproductive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well-Actually War Trall Harehunter Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 Give me time. I'll probably ignite another firestorm somewhere. I seem to have a knack for it. Stay 'tooned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Understated Ur-Drakon Callie Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 Heh, in the beginning of the semester I was accosted by a guy scalping Burning Man tickets as I followed an overzealous friend into a Whole Foods. I'm not completely sure why he singled me out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnificent Ornk nikki. Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 I like this idea. I already have my post for the BoA board (by far the most important to my time here) in my mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burgeoning Battle Gamma Cpt. Charles Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Hmmm... now here's a way to get my post count up. I'll not be sacrificed yet... Anyway, sounds like a good idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnificent Ornk Student of Trinity Posted October 14, 2012 Author Share Posted October 14, 2012 Just a bump to let people know that today is the last day to post in any of the 'Burning Boards' threads. I will delete them all soon, either just before we cross over, or just after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnificent Ornk Student of Trinity Posted October 15, 2012 Author Share Posted October 15, 2012 And that's it. All the 'Burning Board' sticky threads have been burnt up. Thanks to everyone who participated in this little rite of passage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon Earth Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 still it says powered by ubb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Actaeon Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 SoT might have been a bit premature on deleting the BBs, but none of us could have known that. Anyway, if waiting a little longer means it gets done right, that sounds like a good deal to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
