Yata 0 Report post Posted March 12, 2008 Ah ha! I found a good arguement: Is it not true that the forum is the central platform of user feedback for Rick? Even your 'fighting club' is hosted on this forum and it is a pivetal tool for Rick to aid in testing, design, and functionality. By creating a more stable platform of user feedback-a forum on the getpaint.net server-he would also benefit, leading to a better Paint.NET. I just said that Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
david.atwell 284 Report post Posted March 12, 2008 Um, guys, I think you're forgetting something. If I'm not mistaken, the first person to have said anything about hosting a forum at http://www.getpaint.net/forum was Rick Brewster himself... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Simon Brown 41 Report post Posted March 12, 2008 BB:PdN is supported by the forum community. All-in-all, it would take 5-10 minutes to install the software and ~1 hour to configure the settings. Wouldn't a more stable (and more modular) forum to support the program be better than a free host who isn't exactly reliable? Like we have discussed - we are desperate to keep the posts. Although I still have an idea of agreeing to still host their ads on the new forum if they supply a copy of the database. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
david.atwell 284 Report post Posted March 12, 2008 I don't know about "desperate..." I mean, it would be preferred, sure, but I don't think we're desperate for anything. :-) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pyrochild 341 Report post Posted March 12, 2008 Yes. As david.atwell, so rightly put it, crawl back into your mother's womb and start over. Tight fit? :? Awkward journey... What is with your obsessions with deleting files, sabrown? A spider/webcrawler only reads what's there. Why would it delete anything? It would simply need to iterate through each page of the forum and build its own database from that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Simon Brown 41 Report post Posted March 12, 2008 It wouldn't. But if it is a lesser post I presumed it would delete it rather than duplicate and thus spread it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
