Forum issues: word from TGR HQ

**Thaleia** · 02-10-2025, 09:16 PM

Happy to pay my share if needed. Who's going to say no to unsolicited donations?

The gofundme page for the forum migration fund will sure be fun to watch as it grows. Seriously though- if this really is legit, then I'm glad to see that a decision has been made in the higher level. Yeah, there is a chance things all go tits-up during the migration attempt, but I'd rather them risk the jump into the unknown versus accepting our doomed forum's fate. And if it works, then by golly won't that be a story for the hall-of-fame.

We could just migrate the forum into the comments section on gofundme. If you want to post something, you gotta pay a nickel.

as a last ditch effort to preserve the environment I will train a chatbot to respond randomly as one of jer, digital death, iceman, greg or hugh conway

**BmillsSkier** · 02-11-2025, 02:58 PM

Shroom, I’d pay $37 to have that feature now.

Forum could use a one and done delete button. Posts and account gone in one swipe as all US online becomes an extension of X

Meh. loggin in is overrated.

Maybe some monogrammed DWR Dad jeans. Or Loafers!

Seriously though, thanks all for your attention and I'm happy to hear our TRG overlords are into keeping this place around.

**BmillsSkier** · 02-11-2025, 09:01 PM

I hope when we migrate to the new platform that the PMS Gear Factory Tour TR Thread gets revived. I am still waiting on a ship date for my Jerantulas.

**CascadeLuke** · 02-11-2025, 09:08 PM

I’d pay $ if when I opened a thread- it took me to the comment I viewed previously. Boy, what a luxury.
Thanks for tackling this

**Mazderati** · 02-12-2025, 09:07 AM

Poast.

**summit** · 02-12-2025, 09:16 AM

**::: :::** · 02-12-2025, 10:05 AM

We are hoping to start the major overhaul to the main site in 2-4 weeks. It will be a 4-5 month process. I am not sure exactly what stage of this the forums will be addressed, but it should be a few times along the way as there will need to be things that are undone, retired together, etc.

Let's try to put together some options and work on a better solution."

How are we supposed to get change for a nickel if Trump ditches the penny?

**grinch** · 02-12-2025, 11:21 AM

Og with the most important questions!

ETA apparently you cant use any punctuation ever or it churns out forum gobbledygook which is great for posters who fight proper English like hell - Fred SkiJ and SFB (love you all)

**riser4** · 02-12-2025, 01:06 PM

No longer being able to get change for a nickel may be what gets me out into tge streets. This aggression will not stand!

**Danno** · 02-12-2025, 02:03 PM

If they eliminate the penny, doesnt that make asking for change for a nickel even better?

**MultiVerse** · 02-12-2025, 02:12 PM

Change for a nickel becomes the soundest of monies

**Core Shot** · 02-12-2025, 03:06 PM

I used to keep a gold watch up my ass
While in a concentration camp

But I’ve decided to hoard pennies there instead.

Hmm  I must actually be an attorney  who knew. I stopped writing anything back and I take the Danno approach. I copy and paste the answer from the last email that they didnt read/comprehend and I BOLD it in Itallics. I never get much of a reply after that.

 

FYI- Quote works if you quote and then back out and quote the same post again. Odd. If you quote once it just picks some rando other person's post to quote.

****The More You Know ******

 

Edit- nevermind. Nothing works. It was just an illusion.
