Will this be fixed by the indexing? -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- [Post 2] Author : diaglo Date : 08-31-04 09:34 AM the sticky on all the forums from Melanie said the boards were temporary. all the posts from aug 24 after a certain time until yesterday were lost. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- [Post 3] Author : Elendur Date : 08-31-04 11:31 AM I somehow missed that sticky. I need to pay more attention. Welcome all to the new, completely 3e free OOP forum. One of my players just gave me a big stack of old modules he got from a neighbour's garage sale, so I'll be posting questions on those shortly. Also, some are duplicates, so I might give them away if anyone wants them. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- [Post 4] Author : cerebus Date : 08-31-04 02:35 PM One of my players just gave me a big stack of old modules he got from a neighbour's garage sale, so I'll be posting questions on those shortly.

PM me if you do... -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- [Post 5] Author : diaglo Date : 08-31-04 03:00 PM i've got an extra copy or 4 of B2. and you are only 2 hours drive away. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- [Post 6] Author : Elendur Date : 08-31-04 05:28 PM The dups off the top of my head are X2 and X3. Castle Amber and Curse of Xanathon. I'll have to look through the others. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- [Post 7] Author : I'm Batman Date : 08-31-04 09:51 PM Hmm. I don't have a copy of X3 and I'm only 2 hours away from you (by batjet, that is). On second thought, never mind. I'd never get around to using it anyway. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- [Post 8] Author : skathros Date : 09-01-04 05:46 PM Ooooooooh, very pretty boards, i must agree...but, er, why was the OOP forums burried under Otherworlds? It really has nothing to do with other worlds, does it? Posts from my favorite poster Halaster seem to have dissapeard :confused: Were they misplaced? -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- [Post 9] Author : Strephon Alkhalikoi Date : 09-01-04 09:00 PM Why did this board get buried in the Other Worlds section? Perhaps it's because WotC wants to pretend that older versions of the game don't exist. Revisionist history perhaps? It wouldn't surprise me in the least. And yes, Hal's posts are apparently gone. My opinion: the truth hurt, and rather than face the truth, TPTB* decided to hide it. Just like this board. *The Powers That Be -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- [Post 10] Author : WizO_Catoblepas Date : 09-02-04 12:48 AM Posted on and stickied at the top of all of the boards about a week prior to the revision, Mel noted that every post created after the 24th would be lost. That was the last snapshot that they made prior to the move. If you look around on any of the boards, you won't see a post from after that until when the new boards came up. Basically, when you do the conversion, you have to go from that point onward or else start over. That's the way it was explained to me since the WizOs did ask over e-mail whether there could be "one last snapshot" and that was the reply. If you really wish to note this as a concern, you could bring it up in "The Gripe Thread" on the Meta-board. The one nice thing about "being out of the way" is that it should discourage 3E encursions, which seem to be a concern for most of the board populace. (it is a silver lining after all) Also, if they really wanted to out-and-out hide this board, they would have never referred to it in the Other Worlds description. Keep in mind that not all of the boards that are on the Other Worlds board are in the description. And there were boards that went by the wayside - Draconium and Ghostwalk are gone (I'm not too surprised about that one since the non-core book boards usually are pretty temporal) and the DMG and the PHB boards should be going after all of the threads are moved from them. All in all, I'm still getting used to things myself. However, over time things should pretty much settle down for me and I'll have my regular footing again. edit: After seeing what some of my fellow WizOs have done, I'm going to concur and just note that if you have a gripe with the new board layout or the deletion of posts due to the move, there is a Gripe thread on the Meta-board. After all, the Meta-board is for the discussion of board related activity and this board is for the discussion of out of print material. Thus, we all (present WizO included) should probably get back to that on this board - out of print material. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Downloaded from Wizards Community (http://forums.gleemax.com) at 05-10-08 08:19 AM.
