This poll is here because I'm curious as to how many people really do like these forums.

I'm quite fond of it. It's quite useful and it is very easy to customize.

Of course, it sometimes doesn't like to work, but that's not enough to take it down for me :3

It'd be okay if not for ONE CRIPPLING THING - OMG forums doesn't like me posting.

This is the same for me, but it treats me even worse than that often. It;


Is Slow,
Logs me off when I have been away for an hour,
Logs me off when I am finishing a post, sometimes before it has been posted,
Loses connection at least 3 or 4 times a day,
And a few more minor things.

Okay, so this is basically it. This place would be fine as long as these problems could be fixed, but after a few weeks...

Have a nice day.

The only problem I have is that sometimes it loses connection. When it fails to post, I can just hit the back button cause I use Safari. I also don't get logged out automatically.

That's why Mac is so much better than Windows! *shot*
Title: Re: So how is the NEW GSHC?
Post by: Salanewt on 20, October, 2009, 01:55:00 PM
Hehe. Anyway, I am trying to think of ways to fix the problems on my end, although I doubt that I can do anything (this being my new computer that I got in June).

Have a nice day.

Does it run Vista? XP *shot by Windows fans*
Title: Re: So how is the NEW GSHC?
Post by: Salanewt on 20, October, 2009, 02:39:00 PM
It runs Windows XP. I don't care for Vista (I have not tried it, but many people that I know do not like it).

Have a nice day.
Title: Re: So how is the NEW GSHC?
Post by: Charon on 20, October, 2009, 02:43:00 PM
The fact that you're constantly disconnecting may have more to do with your computer than the server... I've only been unable to access the site twice, and I have a very shoddy connection. Plus, it came back when I refreshed the page in firefox.

And Jamie, I doubt the fact that it disconnects has anything to do with the Operating System either >_>

About copying posts - I'm quite used to doing it because I disconnect so often, so it's not that bad because it's a habit XD

Also,
Spoiler:
 

More new emotes, guys XD

Cool, thank you! The funny thing is that I just found out in the Editor's topic.

Have a nice day.

Wait... Er, where are Felix and the others?

Edit: I normally try that, but there are times where it goes by too quickly for me to copy successfully.
Title: Re: So how is the NEW GSHC?
Post by: Charon on 20, October, 2009, 02:57:00 PM
Felix and friends are under "Golden Sun PCs", which you have to select from the drop down menu.

Thought it would make more sense for them to have their own section.
Title: Re: So how is the NEW GSHC?
Post by: Salanewt on 20, October, 2009, 03:10:00 PM
True enough. Anyway... Can we expect more emoticons any time soon?

Have a nice day.

Ooh! Very nice emoticons Charon! If you need help gat6hering sprites, then you can ask me (of course, I know that you are tired of making them right now, but possibly in the future).

Have a nice day.

Why is it that people think that their operating system is the reason why the site sometimes won't work >_>
Title: Re: So how is the NEW GSHC?
Post by: Rolina on 20, October, 2009, 06:37:00 PM
It shouldn't be.  If the site doesn't work, it's the site's fault...
Title: Re: So how is the NEW GSHC?

Exactly, except in rare cases when it's your DNS.
Title: Re: So how is the NEW GSHC?

True... but if we've got multiple people getting the SAME EXACT PROBLEM, regardless of OS (which honestly doesn't matter), Browser (which kinda matters), and ISP (which matters most), it seems to suggest that it's a matter with the site, not any of those things...
Title: Re: So how is the NEW GSHC?
Post by: Charon on 20, October, 2009, 08:15:00 PM
Apparently the reason the server's been so wonky is because they've been switching servers...

Of course, what else would it be?  Canadians are Canadians, not French.

Well in Quebec they're mainly of French ancestry... but I think Salanewt's from Ontario, which is the Providence closest to my state.

Canadia peeps are still Canadia peeps.  I'd beat the crap out of you if you called me a "White American" or "Texas American" or something.  I'm an American, I don't need some secondary title.

Honestly, I don't look at myself as a member of a country... because people who do... remind me strangely of Glenn Beck...
Title: Re: So how is the NEW GSHC?
Post by: Rolina on 20, October, 2009, 10:04:00 PM
...You're not one of those lame people who bashes Glenn without actually watching his show, are you?

Either way, though, I just see no reason to segregate yourself.  The only creates pointless divisions in the community, and just leads to more pointless conflict.

Eventually, we'll be able to see past that, and just call ourselves Humans, but... that's gonna be several decades in the making at least...
Title: Re: So how is the NEW GSHC?
Post by: Salanewt on 20, October, 2009, 10:04:00 PM
This is true. Role, I understand why you say this.

Charon, I had a feeling that you meant France french people, I was just giving you a hard time (lol). By the way, Providence means: [url=http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/providence]http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/providence (http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/providence)[/url]

I understand that it was a typo... Probably Province is what you meant, right?

Have a nice day.

Edit: Yes, I am from Ontario. Very good guess! Anyway, I agree that we are all just humans, or Homo sapiens.
Title: Re: So how is the NEW GSHC?
Post by: Charon on 20, October, 2009, 10:12:00 PM
Province, bloody hell, just call them States, its so much easier for the others to remember.

Providence is the capital of Rhode Island...
Title: Re: So how is the NEW GSHC?
Post by: Salanewt on 20, October, 2009, 10:22:00 PM
Oh cool. I would call them states, but Provinces are easier for me to remember, lol.

Have a nice day.
Title: Re: So how is the NEW GSHC?
Post by: Rolina on 20, October, 2009, 10:37:00 PM
What is easier to remember depends on the region from which you hail.  For us, it's states, with a little s.

Either way, I'm happy here in Weird City USA.  Austin, Texas for the win (even if our cops are made of fail...)!
Title: Re: So how is the NEW GSHC?

And I like Hamilton. Toronto was fine, but... If only some of my friends from Toronto moved here as well. Oh well.

Now I can scheme in secret, mwahahahaha!

Wait? Oops, sorry, this is off topic. I suppose I can start another new topic for this conversation.

Have a nice day.

Well, as for me I like the new GSHC. I still haven't had any problems at all so I really don't have anything to complain about it.
Title: Re: So how is the NEW GSHC?
Post by: Salanewt on 23, October, 2009, 08:31:00 AM
Yeah, actually, apart from the occasional logging out on me, the problems have ceased to be (although I might be speaking too soon for this).

Have a nice day.

I get a DNS error 70% of the time I try to post, so I'm not liking it too much.

Post by: Salanewt on 23, October, 2009, 09:52:00 AM
Oh, that is a shame. Oh well, at least you don't get it the other 30% of the time.

Title: Re: So how is the NEW GSHC?
Post by: Rolina on 23, October, 2009, 04:59:00 PM
I've said it once, I'll say it again - I've moved all my topics once already.  I do NOT want to do it again.

But either way, if everyone flocks over to some other place, I'll have no choice... again...  :irate:
Title: Re: So how is the NEW GSHC?
Post by: Atrius on 23, October, 2009, 05:08:00 PM
Despite the fact that you're getting all these errors you wouldn't want to move again, even if it was to a more reliable host?
Title: Re: So how is the NEW GSHC?
Post by: Charon on 23, October, 2009, 08:10:00 PM
Actually, I think that having two archives is a bit much. Eventually, some people will complain about it, forcing us to move again...

Let's stay here a while before making any decisions.
Title: Re: So how is the NEW GSHC?
Post by: Atrius on 23, October, 2009, 08:15:00 PM
I don't like the fact that several members continually get errors while browsing the forums.  It's not anywhere near definite yet either, I certainly don't like the idea of moving again so soon.
Title: Re: So how is the NEW GSHC?
Post by: Charon on 23, October, 2009, 08:34:00 PM
I really wish I could browse using several different computers and figure out what the hell is going on.

I better start making a mercury theme XD
Title: Re: So how is the NEW GSHC?
Post by: Daddy Poi's Oily Gorillas on 23, October, 2009, 09:09:00 PM
Hmm. Mercury? This seems like a pattern doesn't it.

Jupiter- A nice breeze,yet it just went right by us.(invisionfree)
Fire- It's here in the present, yet it burns us all, only some of those can see it. (omgforum)
Mercury, A calm, peaceful place, it is the healer from fire, so we will get revived once again. (Simple Machines)


Will there be a connection with Earth?

I thought I would want to share this with y'all. :)


Edit: However, I am not saying that you are making a mercury theme because of Simple Machines, but I am just comparing.
Title: Re: So how is the NEW GSHC?
Post by: Rolina on 24, October, 2009, 07:03:00 PM
I'd rather get DSN errors than to move again.  I've said this many, many times.
Title: Re: So how is the NEW GSHC?
Post by: Salanewt on 25, October, 2009, 12:55:00 AM
Well, I am actually amazed that I have not logged out since I left yesterday afternoon, and returned almost 24 hours later. However, if you move again, I will most likely support it (unless you manage to find a place that has even more problems than here).

If you wish, a few of us could go to these different locations and do some testing?

Have a nice day.

Edit: Forgot to include this in the original post: I agree that we should stay here for at least another month or two before making any major choices about moving.
Title: Re: So how is the NEW GSHC?
Post by: Salanewt on 27, October, 2009, 02:44:00 PM
That is true.

I have a feeling that I might get a log-out error in a few minutes. I found out that 50% of the time that this happens, it is because I delete my cookies, but I still do not know the cause for the other errors.

Have a nice day.
Title: Re: So how is the NEW GSHC?
Post by: Atrius on 27, October, 2009, 05:29:00 PM
Um... yeah, if you deleting your cookies doesn't log you out, something is wrong.
Title: Re: So how is the NEW GSHC?
Post by: Salanewt on 27, October, 2009, 06:10:00 PM
This is true. However, I have (luckily) found an alternative to deleting my cookies, ever since the old "Cookies" folders were lost.

Anyway, has it been decided that we are moving again?

Have a nice day.
Title: Re: So how is the NEW GSHC?
Post by: Daddy Poi's Oily Gorillas on 27, October, 2009, 06:34:00 PM
As the way things look, yes, and if it is what I expect, both these two older forums will be DELETED entirely. (That is, AFTER all the topics have been moved onto the NEWER forums.)
Title: Re: So how is the NEW GSHC?
Post by: Frog on 28, October, 2009, 03:20:00 AM
Although i was only a lurker on the old forums i think this really better, besides moving again would just be confusing...
All the forum seems to be lacking is multiple skins.

Now that we've had plenty of time to adjust to the move, and I've shown off some of the customization possibilities of the new forums with stuff like the custom [youtube] & [sprite] tags, and the download system (http://forum.goldensunhacking.net/index.php?action=downloads) I'm reviving this poll.  Everyone happy with this move? (Not that I'm considering ever moving again, cause I'm not)
Title: Re: So how is the NEW GSHC?
Post by: Sajin on 24, November, 2009, 04:27:05 AM
Yes. I have nothing to complain about (although I have never had anything to complain anyway :p). Good job on the forums Atrius.
