Plans for the future of Gamingforce

I guess it's the end of an era. Will we be attempting to maintain the "brand", so to speak, or will the split board be free to develop its own direction?

I support this course of action, as it will eliminate a major source of inter-forum clashes by splitting up the snooty elitists on one side, and the obnoxious elitists on the other

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Not necessarily. The type of people who join to request stuff in the Concert Hall are not usually the type who visit other forums and interact. Heck, I think I heard that refrain repeated quite often in the past year or so.

I don't know much about the sharing forums, not having found much reason to browse the boards as of late. However, if My Stuff is such a membership draw, then we may as well keep it here, since it's got more to do with the board's history (of FTP runners).

Of course, this proposal will most probably completely sever the Concert Hall for good. But hey, at least it will finally be free to develop in a direction that may turn it into a viable community. Heck, they probably don't even need to use "Gamingforce" in their name or the .com domain.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

We recovered the .com a while back, Secret. bobo let it expire, and luckily Kaleb.G was able to snag the domain in an auction.

According to the WHOIS information, Kaleb is currently hosting it on his Dreamhost account.

I have a question Blah. What are the current specs of the dedicated server? I'm curious about this, since 15 GB doesn't sound like much today, but it is obviously substantial enough to make you consider splitting the forums.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

It was for some sort of Superman soundtrack. More My Stuff than Concert Hall.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

These are the following things that's bothering me a bit, regarding the future plans.

1. VGMDB is accounting for 44% of the available server space. I don't know how much room there is to expand the database (that is to say, how many video game soundtracks and doujin albums remain uncatalogued), but suppose it grows to 35 GB? 45 GB? Will there be future cutbacks here, or perhaps forum prunings? Or will this definitely be where the line is drawn?

In a nutshell, I am asking how much maximum space would be allocated for the Gamingforce Forums.

2. What are the current hosting plans for the split-off CH/MS boards? Will they be hosted on a Dreamhost account?

I was speaking idiomatically.

By the way, whoever's put the word filter on the full site name should probably make an exception for links, since it's breaking internal links. For instance, a link to this thread...

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?
