it's, uh, been a while.

the forum software hadn't been updated in years, as no one has posted here in years. but since that was a huge security risk, i finally got around to upgrading to the latest version. this broke our old layout/theme design, so we're stuck with this.

i hope your lives are all very good and you are doing ok, all things considered.

last week i changed webhosts and i didn't even lose years worth of data

now that the only people left around here are the die-hards.... how do we start a secret society that acts as an underground shadow government....  and/or cult?

Some peace and quiet around here.

What are the best albums from last year that I probably missed because all i ever listen to is The Front Bottoms and Taylor Swift?

Any ideas for any changes you want to see around here? Subcategories or anything? ideas for how to get new people in around here? etc etc.

we can talk about it. but i think this is a fair thing to do.

[FAQ]

FAQ

What is this place?
This is a message board that has been in existence since 2004, once as the official message board of Plan-It-X Records. It was once a very active place that regularly discussed punk related things, now it's mostly just a bunch of old-timers who became old together online where we talk about nothing in particular.

What are the rules?
Don't be a jerk.

This place sucks.
That's not even a question!

Why does this place suck so much?
Better.

What happened to my old account? What happened to the old posts?
On June 10, 2014 we suffered the biggest data loss we've ever had, and anything before that date, going back all the way to Feb 2004, is gone. Forever. It's not coming back. Also, inactive accounts are occasionally purged from the forum. Please make a new account.

I feel bad because I got old and it's been hard for me to keep up with what happened to a bunch of the Plan-It-X folks, and so I've missed a bunch of great stuff that's come out since the PIX heyday...

for example... did you know that Erin Tobey released a new album in like, June? And that it's great? It's on Let's Pretend Records.

If you read this thread a hundred times it still won't be enough.

Kennedy's closing statement in the majority opinion:

No union is more profound than marriage, for it embodies
the highest ideals of love, fidelity, devotion, sacrifice,
and family. In forming a marital union, two people become
something greater than once they were. As some of
the petitioners in these cases demonstrate, marriage
embodies a love that may endure even past death. It
would misunderstand these men and women to say they
disrespect the idea of marriage. Their plea is that they do
respect it, respect it so deeply that they seek to find its
fulfillment for themselves. Their hope is not to be condemned
to live in loneliness, excluded from one of civilization's
oldest institutions. They ask for equal dignity in the
eyes of the law. The Constitution grants them that right.
  The judgment of the Court of Appeals for the Sixth
Circuit is reversed.

We're like a week in, how is everyone holding up?

Anaheim up 3-0 in the series on a pretty solid Winnipeg team, exciting stuff.

...oh wait

Hey folks,

as you probably saw this morning, and then again this afternoon, the board is under a heavy spam attack right now. I just deleted a few hundred newly registered accounts that were spam accounts (if I got any legitimately new users in there too, I apologize. Please try again once registration is re-enabled in the next few days).

For now, no one can register. I will be adding additional spam controls tomorrow and re-enable registration shortly.

Man, that's a genuine bummer.

Happy irthday Wes!

I've added the "Message Icons" back. These are the icons nest to the post subject that show up on the main page (for example, this post's Message Icons is a "PSA" banner.

You should use these. Or I might go in and decide for myself what icon to use.

...and want to take a crack at making our color scheme look better? i can send your the stylesheet or post it here.

Hey guys let's follow each other on Twitter again. If you were following me already you would have watched me cry about the PIX board crash in real time.

On June 10, 2014 we suffered the biggest data loss we've ever had, and anything before that date, going back all the way to Feb 2004, is gone. Forever. It's not coming back.

Please make a new account.

Right now as I type this we are using the "Blue Star Theme"

What do you think of it?

[edit: changing this to a general "update" thread about changes to the board]

Tell us what your old name was here so we can figure all of this shit out.

Long story short, the entire database for the old board was lost, and there were no backups.

Yes, it sucks to lose 10 years worth of shit, but sometimes it's nice to have a new start.

You will have to re-register.

We can rebuild.
