So, Nocturne is a woman?

Thats her, she's called ohana26 or something like that in the game. I think I should make a rule like on the main CN forum. Your forum name must somehow reflect either your ruler name or your nation name.

 

Well you could have just looked at the GC member roster.

 

To get into someones Inbox is a task beyond Nocturne's skills. I suppose I know a way to do it, but it'd be pretty bloody obvious that I had.

 

Do you have access to the database? Like can you download a backup or something (I'm presuming you can't upload files to the server, in which case you'd upload phpMyAdmin)? If you can, it's not hard. Just open up the PM table and start reading.

Not that I'd know anything about that. No sirree.

It was in the GC Department of Defense. Which is GC members only but it wasn't a private message.

 

Well yeah DU, I could download a backup if I wasn't on pre paid internet, it'd cut off the download as soon as I ran out of credit. And I'm not even going to consider doing it on dialup.

And Silvara of course Noc is evil, she made everyone leave.

 

DB backup of the Council's only going to be a few meg. Maybe 2 - 5 at most. Terra-Arcanum's DB dump is still just under 40 meg and that includes 5 years of crap posted by you lot. GC's only been up for 3 months. That assumes you're downloading a gzip compressed file. Otherwise multiply that by three. I'm not sure how Invision Board does it but downloading a GZIP version should be an option or the default.

Huh? Who linked what now?

 

I have access to the Admin CP, and I actually know how to use the sql file. 0

 

There's no backup option.

I suspect InvisionFree doesn't want to make it easy for people to leave, it wouldn't surprise me if they offer to give backups for 40 bucks.

 

Yeah you're right, no backup option at all.

Of course that explains why GATO had to start all over again when their forum got deleted.

EDIT

I'll check with the ROOT account, perhaps you can only make a backup with that.

 

All options show up for all admins, but you get an error message if you try using them without root.

 

You were right, you do have to pay for it:

All would've been kept with a backup, so it does explain it.

 

This one has me worried, I thought I'd check and see when the search function would be available again since its never worked.

They made that announcement 2 years ago.

 

Ditch InvisionFree and setup a phpBB forum on grey-council.net

Normally I'd say phpBB doesn't allow sub-forums but there are mods which do but in this case, I think the Grey Council should lose 90% of its confusing and hidden sub-sub-forums. A vanilla install of phpBB would be a nice excuse to turf them.
