Anyone seen them or have any news? Seems like they are no more...

Everyone is still here, more or less. The new forums broke the Scoop, and they've been working on a new format. I'm sure an actual Scoopster will weigh in here soon with an update, though.


There are no words for what this community, and the friends I have made here mean to me. Please know that I care for all of you, yes, even you. If you Twitter, I'm MrThan. If you're Unleashed, I'm dumps. I'll try and get registered on the Titan Forums as well. Peace, and thanks for the best nine years anyone could ever ask for.

As it's been discussed, the City Scoop is currently on a hiatus while they retool their format to accomodate and play nice with this newer forum software.

Hang Tight, After these messages, they'll be riiiiiight back!

See, I just don't get why they don't make it look like whatever, put it in a jpeg or pdf or some type format and then use the new picture displaying commands we now have and post it.

You'd think something would be better than nothing. Besides, how long have we had these new forums for now?

Hm. I thought my reply post was shorter than a lot of replies out there but if you say so. I'll figure out how to condense it and edit it later. :P

Personally I don't know why they just don't do their own website and post a link every time there's a new issue. *shrug*

Then again, I have no affiliation with the staff, don't know jack about making websites, and really am just talking out of the wrong hole

I'd just like to know why it's taking so long... I mean it's just HTML or BB coding... It's been quite a while hasn't it? Like months now?

It wouldn't be easy for me, but if it would be easy for any of you then I'm sure they would be happy for the help. The Scoop is, after all, entirely a volunteer effort.

I haven't seen any calls for help from the staff yet, they just seem to have disappeared like ninja into the night!

Yeah. I'd think they'd either do something in the mean-time or ask for help...

In addition to forum issues, some of the Scoop staff have had real-world issues which have slowed progress on a solution.

They could put out a call for more help in that case. Any volunteers?

Sure.


HEY ANYONE OUT THERE! If you want to help the City Scoop out, go do it!


There, I put the call out. My volunteer duty for the year is done.

I'd love to help them, if they'd give me access to the code and a way to test it...

I the current situation can't really be resolved by piling more people on top of it (unless you want to start a competing periodical from scratch). However, I believe once resolved, the Scoop will be short staffed, so there'll probably be a recruiting drive.

So then is it drama then?

Sounds more like "too many cooks spoil the broth".
