Board News week 23, 24th to the 30th of July

Banners:

Send all banners to Maddy! You know the game by now I’m sure

Board SATS

Up shortly, please add any comments about them, if you have "reasons" why posts are as they are, or if you disagree with them

Harry Potter
No spoilers in your siggys or elsewhere on the board please! There is a area for that so please use that.

Lost Area
It’s coming up to that time of year again! Lost is due to hit the American shores in oh about 35 days!!! So if you have any season two talk, spoilers, shared excitement please post in the season two area, and not one.


Upgrade news as of 3/7/05 (No new news from last weeks Board news)

In the next few weeks/months (The upgrade time is uncertain I have tried to hunt for a date but they are being very mysterious with it) the board controllers will be upgrading all the servers to a newer version, any huge change like this may create problems, I suggest that you archive PM’s and save anything on the board you are particularly fond of in case it gets lost in the “move”. It’s unlikely but parts of the date maybe be un retrievable so its best to be safe than sorry.

If we don’t get notice the board may be offline for a while, so please try not to worry if you can’t get here. I have almost all your emails on record. If you are using a email different to the one you have registered with PM ME WITH IT ASAP so I can update records.

It was been advised that all mods (not the people <lol> )/changes be removed before the upgrade, which means the board will become VERY simple again, no skins etc. After the change has taken place they will return. So please don’t be too freaked out if that happens.

Post and counts will NOT change.

All smilies will be deleted. :( Which may mess up the board in a big way with codes and what not. I will attempt to back them all up in the next few days and try and re add them back.

Search should be re enabled, as will the custom avatar gallary. Also a shop feature may be in place, thus you can buy D and F goodies. :hee: It may be possible for users to change their own usernames. A topic marker will come into effect, thus you can see which topics you have had an input, handy if you want to read comments about your comments, (will only really have a huge effect when the board gets bigger)

There should be more to follow, any questions please ask them in here.


Perhaps the shortest Board news ever! I feel mean. Members, dear members give me something to do!

If you have any suggestions please post them up or PM myself or a mod.

Thanks very much for reading and being part of D and F. Enjoy your week! :Bounmir:

Can you be happy when you're in a bad mood?? I mean, this morning I was in a bad mood, but not unhappy. Just grouchy.

And what if you're very happy about being gloomy all the time??

This Weeks total; 622

MEAN (average number of posts per day) 89

RANGE (The highest and lowest scores listed and then taken away to give the range of posts) 145 – 40 = 105


Objective Interpretation (Facts)


July 18th (Monday) with 145 posts was the best day this. The worst day was July 22nd (Friday) with 40 posts. A difference of 105 posts with the average post count per day reaching 89 (26 DOWN from last week.)

The week was disjointed with different changes as the week progressed, no pattern can be described, no correlation.
Week 17’s total: 622.


This is a 24% decrease on lasts week’s postings, placing this week 11th out of 17 weeks of chart data. With this week 373 posts below the top weeks posting.


Subjective Interpretation (My view only)

Lots of Harry Potter reading! The weather kinda sucked so it should have meant an increase in posting because we didn’t have that I’m going with Mr Potter. It was also my reason for staying away from the board.

Still have an idea as to why the post count is like how it is? Then write it up!

Just thought I'd say thank you to Stacey for her fabulous banners and also to Rosie for hers!

Can't wait to check out everyone else's (hint hint)

:GrinDance:

Maddy: I would love to make one and donate it to the boards, but my compie isn't able to provide me with decent software to help me in the bannermaking. Pathetic, eh? :pups:

Rich, posting can also be low because it's the summerhols, and people are away on vacation or are otherwise doing things outside the house. Perhaps busy with a summerjob or something.
I see Rosie and Maddy posting like mad, because they are still at school at the mo, aren't ya?

thats ok Jo. and we are at school now.. i hate it. so every day i come here in the afternoons after school and post away! woo

i hope ya'll don't think i spam..

It's def not spamming Maddy! I like reading your streams of consciousness (--)

oh yay (--) :nany:

ok i feel like ranting:
the story game, to me, seems to have been dead, for ages.. I loved it how EVERYONE used to post there with their crazy ideas, but lately its just me and Katie and sometimes Jordan contributes.. and occaisionally others join the randomness....

all i am saying is, can you just visit it nearly every time you are on this board? please? for the sake of fun-ness? <lol>

:thank1:

it's not really spamming. Unless you start writing: lajfdalkj falejfao;ei in every post. #haha#

*in booming voice* NOW TELL ME YOUR SECRET!!!!!!!! Or I will have to do that thing that Snape does so well. <lol>
