Upgrade Time!
The time has come to upgrade to pbpbb version 3. I installed Release Candidate 7 a few weeks ago at: http://www.furtivespy.com/forums3/index.php feel free to check it out - realize that the posts there are a few weeks old. I was waiting for the next release to upgrade - That has come today with Release Candidate 8. So don't be surprised if you some here and the place has changed.
Here's what's new and/or improved (edited down for features i thought people here might be interested in)

Re: Upgrade Time!
It's mostly done... I still have a few more things to change. But for now I am going to go to sleep.

Ooh, pretty.
Re: Upgrade Time!
Nice upgrade. Lookin' good.
Re: Upgrade Time!
Note to all:
You will have to reenter your birthday and characters played. You can also alter the style that you see between prosilver (what you see now), prosilverdark (a grayer version of what you see now), and subsilver2 (more like the old board).

Re: Upgrade Time!/ misc rant
oh yeah... thank you Will for changing my rank to Gorn Captain.
He is absolutely the coolest guy from any Star Trek episode.(and only a really big dynamited rock will do him in...)..but that was really the only one I have sat through- end to end.
...I did recently see that one about that Wesley Crusher's mom- the red headed doctor chick imagining that the whole crew was disappearing...and it sorta was...it was fine when they tried to fix the situation (w/all that technical warp/time travel/ forcefield stuff, etc) ... until they starting talking about feelings and shit. I have seen part of other episodes, but often just lose interest for similar reasons
Why can't Picard be a bit more Vin Diesel-esque just take charge grab people by the scruff of their necks and bark orders more ("Numba 1, fix this immediately !!")
On a non-related (bald guy )note, I was thinking about this idea ...for an All-bald guy show.. Since they package and sell shit like The Three Tenors, why can't they sell The Three Bald Doods- maybe have Michael Stipe (from REM), That bald guy from Midnight Oil turned environmental minister (Peter Garrett), and maybe...Moby {picard has better things to do!]
Just imagine: they could just stand and say all their taglines and get big cheers
Michael Stipe "Kill the government", Garrett "Shave our heads", and Moby. "don't hurt me, Eminem..."
or maybe they could do songs together, I don't know....at least they all would probably be good friends...

You should watch Star Trek: Deep Space 9 instead. Sisko was more like that.AngryEd wrote: Why can't Picard be a bit more Vin Diesel-esque just take charge grab people by the scruff of their necks and bark orders more ("Numba 1, fix this immediately !!")

Yeah, but he was also all metaphysical saviory and shit. And the plot got waaaaaaay too convoluted.Will wrote:You should watch Star Trek: Deep Space 9 instead.

Re: Upgrade Time!
There is a new user in Pelham- GoogleBot ! Can I send him a personal message? He might be a really nice, easygoing guy...or a control freak, not sure yet...
