The new GD is there you just can't see it. View active topics and you'll see the threads until everything gets figured out.

THE NEW GD

incredible

Please stop squatting in tech support, everyone. This sub forum means something. Or used to.

[washing machine]

Take it to release instead.

[Norah]

It still exists, there's just no link on the front page. Try view active topics.

Better to skip it for now. 96 and fisto did a bunch of post whoring last night.

Yeah I saw. Maybe the worst GD has ever been.

jorge is the master of referring to and actually finding ancient posts others have made. it's a big part of his shtick; this will hit him hardest in the long run.

This is the best side drama of this whole affair, I think. The ramifications have not been fully grasped yet.

AandE is stupid. GD is best.

I have faith in B and in green habit and in sarge.

Just sayin

It's ok. Just let it die

Hey everyone. Try not to destroy the rest of the board while we wait for smarter people to arrive.

What happened?

Probably trying to get rid of that dumb Bammer forum and oops!

Exactly my thought too. That April fools joke really backfired.

[B]

Let me see if I can remember what happened.

I moved Bammer into the category with the Mod Forum and moved a few threads into Garbage Dump. No problems there.

Then, when I deleted it, Garbage Dump, Archive, and Chat moved under the Mod Forum and the mods couldn't see them on their Board Index, like you can't see "GD?" now. Why that happened, I have no idea. The Bammer Forum was nowhere near that stuff.

But! None of that was visible in the Forum set-up. It was only when you visited RM that you could see the screwiness. So, I couldn't move things back to where they belonged, because according to the control panel, they already WERE where they belonged.

That's when I tried making new forums and copying permissions around, trying to create a new visible forum or category where I could put this stuff. I created a forum called Garbage Dump II, but according to the logs, all I did was rename Garbage Dump. Strange, because there is a "Create New Forum" button, which I used.

Anyhow, when I gave up and decided to call in Sarge, I deleted Garbage Dump II, which unbeknownst to me, was Garbage Dump, and that left us with "GD?," which the mods could not see on our Board Index.

Sarge came and cleaned up a bit. We thought we were good because we could all see "GD?" on our Board Index. Then you all started complaining that you couldn't see "GD?" anymore. We're calling Sarge back in, but RM has been taking a backseat to his real life, so he comes and helps when he can, and I'm sure when he gets here, he'll fix it.

Do you think maybe some other RMer who isn't currently a mod possesses similar technical prowess to Sarge? Since he's so busy, why not recruit?
