Well, it appears that the… Irregulars have arrived, including our resident @Popo_Bawa and @Max_Blancke . Should we throw the floodgates open and invite all the regulars , given that I have a group PM started with all BBS regulars?
8 hours. Minimum of 70% yes to proceed.
Yes, let them come
No, bad idea

Can’t anyone who knows the URL just go ahead and sign up anyway? It’s been posted in publicly-viewable form elsewhere…

Yup. It was previously sent to people in the psuedo-lounge threads (meta and kvetch)

I think if the url is going to change and the configuration needs to still be tweaked (?), it may be better to hold off until it’s all resolved.

Indeed! I signed up before I even read anything about invites, and PMd the resident elves about this.

didn’t @tekna do this, also?
still not seeing mindysan or donald petersen. seems odd if the regs all got PM’d. maybe they’re on vacation or something?

I’ve invited Mindy, though I heartily recommend that your or other long timers send a personal invite as well.

Mindy said that she wanted to see what happens at BBS before jumping ship, iirc. I have a sneaking suspicion she’ll be here before too long…

And when she discovers that we lack the bandwidth for animated gifs?

It’s actually storage I’m more concerned with than bandwidth at the moment. We’re only at about 60MiB out of 30GiB right now, so we’ve got some wiggle room.

I know it’s been said elsewhere (heh) but I really like seeing everyone’s avatars again.

Agreed! It’s been frustrating trying to figure out who Liked who over there.

How about all the folks banned? I didn’t hear about this until I spoke to one of the few other site members I knew via linkedin.

I’ve reached out to @othermichael . @japh is the new incarnation of ol’ japhro. I believe Renke has an invitation as well.

Does anyone know how to invite @M_M ? Ketchup on pizza aside, he was Good People.
