Chitchat Intend to convert this forum to Xenforo if database import works out

I would like to go in that direction but it would be too complicated as there is so much customisation that it would cost a king's ransom to port over and retain all the features that have been added over the years.

In addition the database is so large that we are talking at least a week of downtime if I decided to switch. None of the sponsors would tolerate such an extended break.

Thanks for the answer I just curious only not that I visit that site (for the record)

that's good..........but still afraid of cock-ups leh............hope 100% no problems.........

There will be LOADS of problems that will have to be sorted out and it is hard to predict what will go wrong until the switchover takes place.

Aiming for Monday or Tuesday of next week.

Those who want to try out xenforo can go to the test url at http://zen.sammyboy.com

It feels like the end is near and Boss Sam is going to salvage us and bring us to Xenforo Heaven!

See you again after the resurrection

how about succession planning?
I mean we will all be teleported somewhere one day.

Will you make your successor known to us like LKY? Are your moderators the DPM, next in-line PM?
or Will your son take over like LHL? :wink:

None whatsoever. When I die this forum will carry on till the hosting company shuts it down because the bills have not been paid.

I have no intention of trying to extend my glowing legacy beyond my lifespan.

And approximately how long more would that be? Best guess..

With his rigorous cycling, ideal BMI, healthful diet, regular sex, and state-subsidized medical treatment from Thailand, I expect Boss to outdo old fart and live to a 100.

Most of us would be gone by then.:o

That is kind of sad. At least live long enough to see Trump finish his second term(hopefully) in office.

That would be great but the fact of the matter is that I've done my best and the outcome is not in my hands. :smile:

Dear boss!!!!!!!

Please, i beg you. Either you don't die or you don't this forum expires after you go to another realm.

I aspire to roam this forum with my grandkids, showing them a world beyond their textbooks.

Boss ah Boss!
I need mandate; you think i am like macik is it?
You cannot disqualify worthy seniors like my idol Froggy, Zhihau, ESnDie, Raiders, Big Sexy, etc

Besides, I am just one-month old in this forum. you cannot fast-track me into successor like Ong Ye Kung.
I take my humble seat.
