News BigFooty to migrate to new software.

[Chief]

Im assuming all threads are moving too. Will what I have read/not read and my subscriptions be transferred over?

Hopefully, but you may have to pick up a few pieces here and there - some things just won't translate.

Chief, will the limbo club be down as well during this period?

Most certainly not!

First admission we're heading for a train wreck

Who cares I'm subscribed to a bunch of garbage threads anyway.

I just hope it doesn't look too crappy. Big soccer is nasty.

 

[THRILLHO]

I'm scared.

Someone hold me.

 

[Childish Gambino]

surely that is now standard on all forums??

Yeah, but many don't function correctly.

 

[exile]

the new design looks pretty sleek. looking forward to it.

 

[The Prosecutor]

Wam is redundant.

I'm looking for a transfer at the end of the year however.

 

[The Passenger]

only 2 and a bit hours to doom

 

[Jaeger]

Will BF be offline for a day or two, or 12 hours?

 

[The Passenger]

and who gets to flick the doom switch??

 

[Byron_Clanger]

Sweet, sounds great, can't wait

Looked through some threads in this forum, so Chief, with regards to the changes, any comment on:

thread tags, 6-char post minimum, disliking posts (as opposed to liking posts), 10 year bagdes, polls within posts (rather than only in original thread post), OP label next to OP posts in a thread, 1000 post theoretical limit, inbox size changes?

 

[Papa Juggs]

I think it's a lucky dip as to what features we will have after the change. Depends how much the web devs can squeeze into the new software.

This forum software is dead and that's a good decision.

Gotta love the functionality of vBulletin but it's laggy and it costs more to run than other style boards. Save us some lag while saving Chief some dollars will be a good move.

Bay 13 favourites bye bye fellas.
I for one, welcome our new system. It's like when Queeg replaced Holly in Red Dwarf......
Although I hope we get more than a pea on toast for dinner in forum terms

Look forward to seeing what's in store Chief.

 

[Easty]

Should be good. Will help the Fantasy Sports forums immensely as we can then spam the crap out of the inactive posters

 

[Upton Sinclair]

This had better be worth it

 

[millsy29gopies]

I'm all for change, just one thing:
:diamond: :spade: :club: I've never used those 4 emoticons and tbh I don't know of many who did. R.I.P. outdated Emoticons.

[Ochre]

Still here

 

[Gibbsy]

I'm stuck in a time warp

 

[Eth]

It's like The Simpsons' New Years' countdown.

Ten! Nine! Eight! ...Eight! Eight!

 

[Umpa Lumpa]

looks @ bigfooty, looks @ watch, looks @ bigfooty...

 

[Dan]

Are you trolling us Chief, we are still here and posting

 

[Willo #6]

Could be the ultimate troll by Chief.

 

[Quinz]

Someone hit the big red button.
