Just wanted to say I haven't forgotten about things here... just with the Government shutdown my mind has been elsewhere. Being excepted I still have to work for IOUs. Financially sitting ok for a few more months, but just been trying to work on physical things around the house to distract my mind. Got people on my crew not as financially comfortable, so working to try and help them all day. Just drains me mentally by the time I get home and I don't want to look at the computer screen anymore, hah. Will get back to things soon.

Interesting

Just wanted to follow up. The quotes database didn't seem to restore correctly. Trying to go through all the sql to see where the error is.

23yrs ago this month a random idea turned into these forums... It may have been nostalgia that drove me to bring them back after all the requests, but I don't ever regret starting them and working with the other web admins that helped. It was a hectic first year that ended in the original forums being crashed and lost due to a pirated vBulletin script, then this databse launched in August of 2003. It has been memorialized in my signature for years... Crazy to look at my 13yr old daughter and think I helped start/work on so many website projects at her age. I was just 17yrs old when SubSpace.net, SubSpaceDownloads.com, and SSCentral.com came together to launch SSForum.net. Now I sit here tonight at 40yrs old feeling a bit nostalgic about it all.

Looking good man 👍

I am glad people are truly appreciative of the spam. I guess it wouldn't really bother me either.

Number of clicks from all the e-mail spam... positive? I'd like to think so

I went ahead and purchased a darker version of this skin for those who have sensitive eyes To Change:

Glad someone it. I felt bad, but just trying to get it out there far and wide. Can't seem to get forum software and e-mail server to agree, so they keep erroring at each other, lol. 😂

In what way? There is a lot missing i don't like either. Probably a skin and mods for that though.

I apologize if anyone has been spammed by e-mails. Server has a setting I need to find that is limiting the number of e-mails the forum can send. Only ~400 / 5000 members have received one. If that e-mail brought you back to some nistolgia (as it seems it has), please be understanding as I try to reach the other 4600 people. I won't send another Bulk Mail until I get it all fixed, but you will see another e-mail.

It's been entertaining in Cheese's dev discord server. Everyone bitching about it being VB6, trying to get visual studio working, reading the old code for bugs, ya. I did promise to spend some time this fall converting it to VB.NET like I did some old mervbots and couple other small projects. Will see how it goes 😅
