Would you like your skin plastered to the monitor everytime you make a post?
...also... I'm an eeeehvil smurf!

[/ QUOTE ]So you wouldn't mind having your adversary-smurf's skin plastered over your monitor?
Or how about the pinup from december's Playsmurf hmmm?

Liberating, isn't it? A bit like sitting in the office in only your kecks.

Kecks? Is that a Euro way of saying cakes?

[/ QUOTE ]
ehr yah sure..
would you like some icing on your kecks?

But it would be loads fo extra work for them to copy over every single thread - like there are several GR threads on both sides, with lots of posts covering the same stuff.

[/ QUOTE ]

So delete the American one then!

[/ QUOTE ]

It's bigger - remove the smaller Euro one

[/ QUOTE ]Correct storage management and common sense (europeans are wiser) would dictate that the larger thread would be removed to free up storage..

That is of course povided this thread gets demolished.
If it gets ported over though..

Oh and there weren't any dual threads already on the respective boards? Nobody will notice, trust me, there will always be a multiple threads on the same things. Colours on Dual Blades are way different from colours on Broadswords or Katanas obviously..

Well that's true.. mehe
But you're well into the US side of mockery already then huh?

No... this thread is a testament to the last hours of the euroforums.. they should persist.
Especially now. When the end is nigh!

I can forsee plenty of this:

Colour...

[/ QUOTE ]
And quite possibly on every single possible thread that word is used in as well...

Before long the americans will start to wonder if it's wonder or wounder..

[/ QUOTE ]

No, they'll wonder why the 51st Staters have slightly odd spellings, that's all

[/ QUOTE ]
So then... joined the ranks of the euro bashers this fast already huh?
Couldn't wait until the fourums went down?

But I'm looking forward to the number of misunderstandings due to sarcasm!

[/ QUOTE ]

Now when do we ever get sarcastic?

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
Oh. Cool, I guess. I keep hearing good things about the EU boards, so maybe some of that will spill over to these boards and replace the doom and gloom that always comes with any new Issue.

[/ QUOTE ]
Poor optimistic lil guys

[/ QUOTE ]

Aside from the fact that I disapprove of the thread title they're carrying (I most certainly am not a Brit!) I have to say they will be somewhat disappointed maybe.. sort of..

How long do you think it will be before they start telling us not to be so gloomy and that all will be well? Completely missing the fact that quite a few things we dump on the boards are tongue in cheek as well?

To be honest, if we at this point decide to add only oneliners, we all put together will not ever reach GG's total amount of posts. Something tells me we won't make that much of an impact..

Whenever we have to do something along these lines at work, we take copies of all the DB's and run several tests, fine tuning the scripts on the copies until we KNOW it's working right. Then when it's time to do it live, the whole process is done in under an hour (and I assure you, our client's live databases are waaaaaaaaay bigger than these forum ones... )

[/ QUOTE ]

Aye, but probably so are the dbservers they're served on

And the forums are mainly text based so you've to regenerate full text indexes on everything which can take a while, especially on a slower machine running MySQL.



[/ QUOTE ]


Oh yes... We run on Multi-terabyte DB's running on AS/400 mainframes. But the principle is still the same... You run multiple tests on backups until you KNOW the scripts will work, and it should all be plain sailing when you finally do it live. That they're taking 3 days over it just kinda shows they've not done many/any dry runs.

[/ QUOTE ]
And yet, that is no guarantee for success.. I once upon a time was involved in a multi upgrade of several DB's that also exceeded the sanity borders in size. Dry runs were done, backups were abused time and again until they happily accepted their flogging and all would take little more than three hours.

And then we went on to live. And live was less willing. Live was stubborn, causing the entire process to take close to 72 hours eventually. We had no fun I can tell you. Oh and those 72 hours WERE end to end, no 8 hours on and then 16 off, we had a weekend and one holiday straight after to sort it. We used it all...

Dry runs that are flawless are no guarantee unfortunately...
You could say we did have a visitor back then.. Mr. Sod..

Right then..

just before bed, I wanna give you guys a wee link to look at (I was quite impressed by it for some reason anyway):

Leather tights aren't possible - it's totally the wrong kind fo material for something like tights

[/ QUOTE ]

How about a leather teddy?

Ahem.. back OT, Space, Space Ship, Race between Heroes and dastardly Villains, like it!

Don't mean to disparage GG, just that she can be awfully quick to post sometimes!

[/ QUOTE ]

But not always

[/ QUOTE ]
I have to agree that you usually are INSANELY fast to reply.. Seriously, when I actually spend time on here, there's little time left when trying to keep up with you. You is fast. You is now officially in a contest for a cossie with Damz. He deserves the right to hit F5 until his indexfingertip bleeds

What makes you so sure she is not just that when she is not on these boards?

[/ QUOTE ]

I don't even have a crop for my horse

Also, the moon being the place where 50s get the special enhancements sounds like a pretty big bit of end game content - way bigger than raids or TFs.

[/ QUOTE ]
Now there's a fact alright. I'm looking forward to that, hopefully they won't make it a contiuous drag like they did with the 20 shadowlevels in Anarchy Online though, that was camping the same spawns forever until you levelled because regular content to play was few and far between. Hope they did that better here.
