hey everyone,

i'm working on migrating back to the old private message system. the current email/message system seems to be way to much overkill for the site, and it makes communication more cumbersome than it needs to be.

if you have a custom url/email address setup, it will still work. for example, i'll still be able to receive email from my friends outside fubar at babyjesus@fubar.com. you'll also still be able to respond to these emails, and send them to people not on the site.

the downside of this migration is that old messages in the current system will be lost. as i type this, all messages are currently being written to both systems, so when we actually cut over your inbox won't be empty-- but it will only contain messages from the last 24-48 hours. if you have anything in your inbox now, that's really important i recommend that you forward it off to another email address otherwise it may be lost.


i know some of the newer members don't know what the 'old private message system' was like, and i think all of the older members would agree that it was much simpler and easier to use.

hopefully this change will make the site better for everyone, so please be patient over the next day or so as we move back to the old system. there will undoubtedly be bugs or things i missed, so your patience is greatly appreciated.

i promise to be (mostly) sober during this maintenance..... thanks! :D

-mike

Baby J, I hope that this method really works! I was on here a few years ago when it was Cherrytap and I didn't have a clue how all of this worked and I'm still a "newbie" at it. I just hope that I will be able to use all the features on here when I can. I like to be able to communicate with all people and I think it to be fair to all if it was an easier task! Thank you!
