Backup forum
Backup forum
I cannot remember if we have a backup forum just in case KW has a wobbly? Do we? We had about 4 hours out on Sunday and I figured that because it was a server outage, there's no real way to get the message out that things are OK but just wonky for a while.
I set this up:
kevinswatch.fr.yuku.com/
as a KW has gone wonky board but if we have another outlet, let me know

There's also, ya know, www.kevinswatch.com...-jaythere's no real way to get the message out that things are OK but just wonky for a while
Can you put a link up to the rescue board there? I think the idea is more for us to be able to communicate if things go whacky.kevinswatch wrote:There's also, ya know, www.kevinswatch.com...-jaythere's no real way to get the message out that things are OK but just wonky for a while

Just an FYI...
I belong to several forums on forumer (even had a forum of my own for Pantheon for a short time), and the kevinswatch forum was the most difficult one I had registering on. It may have been that I was back on dial-up while at my Father-in-law's, but it took about 30 times resubmitting my confirmation information before it finally went through.

you're more advanced than a cockroach,
have you ever tried explaining yourself
to one of them?

i've had this with actors before, on the set,
where they get upset about the [size of my]
trailer, and i'm always like...take my trailer,
cause... i'm from Kentucky
and that's not what we brag about.

Once I clicked on the link, a page came up that said to reenter my user name. I kept getting errors on that page.Vain wrote:The one in the link was difficult?Menolly wrote:Just an FYI...

I can understand the thinking behind a backup forum, but if it's only used as a backup, there aren't going to be any lasting topics there, so there doesn't seem much point. Unless it's a forum that already exists independently, like Ahira's Hangar.
Not that I'm criticising. I just thought I'd point out that a 'the forum is knackered for the time being' message on the homepage is probably all we need unless the problem is going to be long-term.
It could be like an Escape From New York, only Mallory's style. Let us take over the backup board! YARGH!aTOMiC wrote:Wahoo! I'm a member of another message board. Can we spam the back up board with word games?
Just kidding.

I. . . um. . only have the Watch bookmarked. I don't visit the other site too much. I suppose that Vain is doing this for people like me. I now have that link bookmarked, and if I can't get into KW forums, then I'd be able to check there and see what the story is.CovenantJr wrote: I can understand the thinking behind a backup forum, but if it's only used as a backup, there aren't going to be any lasting topics there, so there doesn't seem much point.

I think the purpose really is to just enable me to say what's happening in the event of any calamity. If the server goes down for an extended period of time, there isn't a way for me to contact anybody - or be contacted - to keep people up to date with what's happening. Of course, I hope it's never neededCovenantJr wrote:Yep, seems the obvious place.kevinswatch wrote:There's also, ya know, www.kevinswatch.com...-jaythere's no real way to get the message out that things are OK but just wonky for a while

I think Wyldewode has it summed up fairly nicely

Anyway, I think CovJr's and my main point is that www.kevinswatch.com serves that exact same purpose.
You can bookmark it (as you should) and check it out when there is a problem with the forum. Same deal.
Except for the minor fact that Vain doesn't have access to it. Heh.
Wait...I see now... That's what this is all about here. Vain just wants POWER. He wants to undermine my authority! He is attempting to take over the Watch and call it his own! Twisting it to his own form of evil!!! FIEND! I'm on to you!
