IIRC the only thing Garry was storing for labpunch's login was the account email address, which is only visible to you and maybe admins He didn't really care about any of the social features, he just wanted to not deal with storing passwords :v:
Will this new forum change effect all the other threads and sub forums? I'm really only here for the general discussion, video section and games discussion, I'd hope it doesn't effect these.
[QUOTE=QUILTBAG;52836461]The threads will be migrated to the new website.[/QUOTE]I know Garry wouldn't, but once this site goes down, I'd love his code for the vB rating system. Just saying.
Trying to sign up in the new forum, i get this error [code]The resource you are looking for has been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.[/code] Am I doing something wrong? [editline]o[/editline] I couldn't use my hotmail email when signing up, apparently.
Do we get to keep our current accounts on newpunch?
A lot of questions have answers in the [URL="https://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1583897"]new stickied thread[/URL].
[QUOTE=Laserbeams;52836478]Do we get to keep our current accounts on newpunch?[/QUOTE] I think that should be a fairly straight forward thing to do, so I am guessing so.
[QUOTE=Scratch.;52836463]same [editline]30th October 2017[/editline] rust hasn't Noticed it the other day when going through KEEMSTAR's posts[/QUOTE]The rust forum had no threads of value tbh :v:
Is the whole coins/levels thing going to stay in or is the forum still at the point where anything can easily change, including that? Since honestly it just seems like a dumb gimmick that will lose its appeal a few months down the line. You could probably just keep this place how it is now with a few improvements people have requested and I imagine it would still be fine.
I really hope there's gonna be authentication methods other than Google and Facebook. I don't use Facebook and I have 10 google accounts so I dont know which one to use
[QUOTE=Exploderguy;52836513]I really hope there's gonna be authentication methods other than Google and Facebook. I don't use Facebook and I have 10 google accounts so I dont know which one to use[/QUOTE] It's not incredibly difficult to make an authentication app, I just don't think Garry has the time or it may not be part of the project.

Can a mod tell Scottywired to stop coming into my work with his friends and making a mess of the frozen coke area thanks
With regard to the new forum, remember guys, FacePunch is a people not a place :v: .
I saw in a thread on newpunch garry state something about migrating an account, is that possible yet? Or should I just make an account and it will be linked later?
[QUOTE=richard9311;52836654]I saw in a thread on newpunch garry state something about migrating an account, is that possible yet? Or should I just make an account and it will be linked later?[/QUOTE] I have a feeling that the forum gets scrubbed anyway once it reaches public release
please note [QUOTE=garry;52816557]On this note, the current plan for the forums is - Make new [URL="https://rust.facepunch.com/f/"]Sites Forums[/URL] feature match this forum - Kill [URL="https://lab.facepunch.com/"]lab.facepunch.com[/URL] - Move GMod forum to [URL="https://gmod.facepunch.com/f"]new sites forum[/URL] - Move this forum to [URL="https://forum.facepunch.com/f/"]new sites forum[/URL] (which should 90% emulate the look and feel of this forum) - Kill this forum - Improve incrementally[/QUOTE]
Make Morgen a temporary mod so he can out 'Elon Musk' avatar Bradyns :v: .
One of the things I have an irrational worry about is the execution of the fifth step, the closing of individual forums and their migration. There's potential for some threads to be lost in the migration process, and something I noticed on Labpunch is that some threads that were moved on this forum remain in their original forum over at Labpunch, so my worries aren't unfounded. I'm sure to most that the loss of some threads isn't something to worry about, especially if they are of a lesser quality, but as an armchair archiver for the roleplaying community that's squatting in Games in Progress, it is a genuine fear of mine to lose threads.
Will old urls redirect to new urls or Google searches containing Facepunch.com forum will be broken forever? I'm sure pagerrank will not like that
[QUOTE=Atlascore;52836797]Can we please get a Steam login option for the new forum?[/QUOTE] why not have it link to origin
what will become of oify in this new forum?
[QUOTE=mdeceiver79;52836915]what will become of oify in this new forum?[/QUOTE] WAYT thread, because there's no difference between those two.
[QUOTE=Atlascore;52836797]Can we please get a Steam login option for the new forum?[/QUOTE] Steam, Google, and Twitter are probably the necessary 3.
What's with the shit choice of either google or facebook? I don't fancy allowing FP access to either of those things even if it is just for authentication.
[QUOTE=Mifil;52836917]WAYT thread, because there's no difference between those two.[/QUOTE] go ahead and post goatse in wayt then

No need for passwords that way since it'd be gated behind your email's password. I don't know how realistic that is though. Might be difficult to manage without being predictable enough that it'd risk accounts getting compromised.
