Webbie's Reorganization

Also mass move all the threads in there to General. Anything bumped can be moved to the right forum then.


And my post should be turned into an announcement, so it's in all the forums. It would be so much simpler if I was a mod still... -.- *works through JA more*

 

[Geometric-sama]

Fine, fine, announcement it is, but I'll leave the sticky there for if people want to ask questions. Are mods actually able to mass move? *checks*

 

[aRedMoon]

Not to my knowledge, I think an admin has to. :/

 

[Geometric-sama]

OK. SOME ADMIN, GET YOUR BUTT INTO THE ADMIN CP AND TURN OFF NEW THREADS IN THE MAIN WD FORUM AND MASS MOVE THOSE THREADS FOR US! XD Do you think that will work? XD :P

 

[aRedMoon]

That's implying that admins read these posts. :P

 

[Geometric-sama]

Oh, well, they're supposed to. Abby always did.

 

[aRedMoon]

Claire does, I'll admit that.

But remember, Abby was a bad admin...

 

[Geometric-sama]

That's right, hence her ban. o_O Well, I found a mass move option on the page, but I'm not allowed to use it because I don't have the necessary permissions....

 

[aRedMoon]

SMods can then. :P

It's a permission when you add the mod...

 

[Geometric-sama]

OK, fine, get in here S-mods and do it for us already, it's your job :P XD

No no, mass move moves all of the threads to one location, which is why they have to be done individually ^^; i did the first two pages last night before i left, but i didn't want to turn off the ability to post in the main area until all the threads were moved.

 

[Cool Cr@cker]

Err...Have you removed the posting permissions in the main forum Claire. Anyway this is a great idea by Greg, which is sure to work out.

CC, i just said:

i didn't want to turn off the ability to post in the main area until all the threads were moved.

once i have the ok that all the relevant threads have been moved then it'll be shut off, as i've just said

We want them all moved. -.-

 

[Claire]

I'm not doing it all myself, JK, it's also the responsibility of the other two mods.
Mass move moves all the threads to one sub, which isn't what we want, hence having to do it individually -.-

 

[aRedMoon]

No, you don't get it, we want all the threads that are currently in the main forum moved to General.

If anything is bumped, it can be moved accordingly. It's how we did it with ROM Hacking. -.-

The main forum should be clear when posting is turned off.

 

[Claire]

That was never mentioned, so i've already moved two pages worth JK. Only a couple of threads actually belonged in GD (most went to WS) so that wouldn't have helped.
Looking at the rest of the threads, there were only 2 left that hadnt been moved in the whole of WD, so now they're sorted.
The redirects can just be turned off so the area will be clear, i just felt it was beneficial to leave them up for a while so that people can find their threads after which the mods/whoever can turn them off after a while, so relax JK XP

 

[aRedMoon]

Old threads still appear... >_>;;

It looks messy having anything down there and not being able to post. That's why everything was shoved into General ROM Hacking and then whatever was allowed to be bumped was moved.

 

[Claire]

JK, i just said that after a while the redirects can be deleted -they're only redirects O.o

 

[aRedMoon]

There's more than redirects in there... there's over 50 pages.....
