• Forum Discussion v6 - Newpunch Migration Underway
    1,845 replies, posted
Wait, so how am I able to access my account on Newpunch when I registered using the forum stuff (didn't use Twitter or Steam to make an account on Oldpunch)?
Curious, is the whole site moving over today, or is it just another few subsections to get people used to the new site?
[QUOTE][B]Synthrax (in a discord)[/B] the fact that to migrate your account you need to locate a forum post is just peachy, huh i miss this shit by three days and my account is lost to the aeons, thank god i got it today[/QUOTE] I'm sorry, but garry doesn't like lurkers now apparently.
Ill miss old FP. People always used to tell me how weird it was to see an old message board publicly but I didnt mind because this is probably the best online commumity I've been apart of. Ah fuck, I guess I'll see you lads over there ;_; [Media]https://youtu.be/yERildSsWxM[/media]
I already have one complaint and that clicking anywhere on a thread's "box" opens it, I don't like that - I've always used the blank white space to focus my screen, now it just opens a thread I don't want :I
[QUOTE=Karmah;53204106]Curious, is the whole site moving over today, or is it just another few subsections to get people used to the new site?[/QUOTE] Well considering we're only missing 7 subforums, I'd like to think it's everything. Lord knows I don't want to switch back and forth between two version of the same forum of god knows how long.
[QUOTE=Stroheim;53204107]I'm sorry garry doesn't like lurkers.[/QUOTE] It's not surprising, the whole system newpunch seems to have is geared to get people to actively participate in the forums.
So a labpunch account doesn't count, right?
Its kind of neat and bizzarre watching all my old minecraft posts from 7 years ago import slowly into my newpunch account.

[QUOTE=Burre.png;53204119]Labpunch is shutdown, isn't it?[/QUOTE] It is, I'm just making sure it's not an account that can be migrated, since I already authenticated it.

[QUOTE=Talvy;53204113]So a labpunch account doesn't count, right?[/QUOTE] No it doesn't, labpunch is long dead.
Can't say I'm a fan of the new design whatsoever, especially not the coin scheme but it is what it is.
[QUOTE=GrizzlyBear;53204120]I merged my account months ago but right now there's no way for me to log in normally? brings me to that auth shit where it then asks me to create my new account but my name is already taken.[/QUOTE] There are bound to be bugs since the forum is in the middle of migration. I would wait until the migration is finished and then contact a moderator for help.
[QUOTE=Zombii;53204127]There are bound to be bugs since the forum is in the middle of migration. I would wait until the migration is finished and then contact a moderator for help.[/QUOTE] I fixed it, it's all cool.
Honestly I'm just hoping titles come back as a coin feature, gonna miss the gay ass pink heart.
So uh... how come my posts aren't counted in newpunch? I only have 6 posts and those are made on newpunch itself.
We've traded the coin system for the community fund is this the best trade deal, or the worst trade deal?
I bet shitposting is going to explode on oldpunch when things really start to migrate. That'll be fun :fap:
hope i can trade coins for loot boxes in the future
[QUOTE=Dr.Cola;53204132]So uh... how come my posts aren't counted in newpunch? I only have 6 posts and those are made on newpunch itself.[/QUOTE] Probably because threads you posted in here haven't been transitioned yet
[QUOTE=Emperor Scorpious II;53204136]I bet shitposting is going to explode on oldpunch when things really start to migrate. That'll be fun :fap:[/QUOTE] the badage boys will return, and the seas will go red as blood, and the theme will go black as sackcloth
Honestly, once these shitposts are exterminated from the face of the earth the new forums will be way better. I like it already.

[QUOTE=Lance99;53204102]I am sure it was Twitter that I used, I even checked the account and it's there with a date: [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/6cq957q.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE] My labpunch login looks exactly the same: [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/iWyvTgr.png[/IMG] So they look the same, but only newpunch works?
If there's one positive of the forced migration it's that I will no longer be named after a gay pornographic magazine because child me was a moron.
[QUOTE=Talvy;53204145]My labpunch login looks exactly the same: [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/iWyvTgr.png[/IMG] So they look the same, but only newpunch works?[/QUOTE] they're literally two separate sites with unshared databases
[QUOTE=Reagy;53204144]Migration takes time and the counter is likely not working currently due to it, calm your tits and just wait.[/QUOTE] I want my instant gratification and I want it now :v: But in all seriousness, how long should we expect? A couple weeks or a couple months?
