SUCESS!!! OLD FORUMS ARE BACK!!
Now this may suprise all of you, but I am about to give thanks to the very last person you would expect.
I would like to thank CobrazNet for giving me a useable restorable MYSQL DB copy. Cobraz never had to do such a thing, he could have said to eat him and go cry a river or some crap, however after a long talk (him coming to me I might add, I didnt not start the converstation), he gave me a useable (but quite large, wow I didnt know our website db was this huge!) mysql database backup. As you can see by reading this very forum!
Soo, I would like to thank him for doing the most admiral thing anyone could have done by helping us restore our website back to its orignal form (well a few days older but hell, we got our history back!). I would also like to congratulate him on his recent wedding to his new wife. Its only fitting.
Not only has he gained a new respect by giving OverDosed this information back, I am sure its only going to help him later down the road to become a better, more truthful and respectable person.
I'd like everyone else to thank Cobraz (especially you forum whores, you all cried a river about your damn post count). This isnt a post to flame anyone.
There is a full restoration of our forums database. HOWEVER, these forums no longer have any modifications installed (unless its a skin template modification, hehe world clock is sexy ) but I will quickly install those mods, as I have them on my computer, easily able to be installed at the drop of a dime. They are no longer installed because I also upgraded these forums to the lastest IPB version.
The ODCS website however, will be completely redone again. That will not take long however. I made a small mental mistake, and deleted the index.php. What can I say, I am tired.
Something new with the ODCS website will be a live server query to both the CS 1.6 and the CS Source servers. Then there will be a forum, no portal. Just a simple forum. What kind of forum depends on if I wanna screw around with invision or maybe play around with phpbb because of its usergroups.
As for the *new* but now *old* forums that was posted in the news (forum.overdosed.net) ... Disregaurd that site, it will be placed on read only purposes until Sunday, where it will be deleted to regain website space and such.
Again I would like to thank CobrazNet for being very nice and admiral by giving us a useable mysql database copy and retaining our rich history.
Sincerely
