What's the plan for MapCore this year?

    Quote from Thrik

    Haha, well MapCore did its first ever donation drive late last year which wasn't quite a Wikipedia-style plea at the top of every page, but it was a global announcement. The total actually ended up being about $700, thank you very much for that guys. That is the #1 reason I'm able to purchase the better software and hosting, as before everything came out my pocket which limited how much I could do without saving it up for a while.

    Yep, I know (donated too!). I'm just kidding.

    Just say the word Thrik once we're needed. Ideally, you should not need to worry about funds imho as you're already investing the time and effort.

    Sounds very cool but like...lots of work?! I hope you can find the time and motivation to do all this. I really appreciate everything you do for MapCore. Alone paying the bills for the hosting and maintining the forums as they are justify the donations, but many things have been promised over the past years, so I'll keep my praises for the time afterwards!

    aren't you an admin as well

    Oh, hi Rick! I thought you had left again (for the 12th time). Yes, I am part of the admin staff, but I know I don't have the time to do the changes mentioned here (aside from the fact that I'm not nearly as skilled as Thrik as far as web development goes). So I know how hard it is and I hope Thrik can pull it off, but he has got a full-time job as well, so yeah...I hope he knows what he's getting himself into!

    I'm kinda new here but MapCore has everything a man needs: great talented people, awesome works, funny people, and lots of women to appreciate.

    Dear Mr. "Thrik",

    This forum is as dear to James and I as Cooper Norman is so we receive these news with extreme joy. We want you to know, however, that if nothing is done by the end of this year you might face a lawsuit for perjury and public annoyance.

    Sincerely.

    Haha, I know I'm stretching the definition of the word 'imminent' a little but work on the move has been underway and we're not looking at months. Transferring a gigantic database along with all the peripheral data is pretty difficult, in fact I've done it several times and each time there's been corruption or missing files (eg: everyone's avatars) for reasons that weren't entirely clear. I've gotten it mostly figured out though and I believe now I understand the procedure I'll be able to do it in the space of 12 hours or so.

    Unfortunately this is going to mean the forums being offline while this is happening as any writes to the database during the move will cause the aforementioned problems, so within the next few days I'm going to take them down during the evening and hopefully everything will be done by the following morning. I actually quietly moved this thread as I'm getting ready to post a downtime alert.
