Original PMB to re-open

[zach2]

idk If anyone else saw this, but Pulse has its control back to the admins. They have it under maintenance mode though, so we have to wait until they clean it up before it reopens

It's true.

So I guess this temp board can go back into oblivion. It'll be nice to get back to normal again.

Now the question is... what should we do with this one? :/

Utilize some of the suggestions/solutions identified here at the original board.

You could keep this board but lock posting privileges and signups of new members. That way, you have a backup in case something like what happened last week ever happens again.

Why is it going to take so long for the original PMB to reopen?

I'm assuming that they would have to delete all of the inappropriate posts and threads, re-ban all those people who came back, redo the censored words, and other misc maintenance.

I can see how that would take quite a while, but will it really take until tommorow night at 11:59?

It could just be a set maximum time in case it takes longer than they anticipate and don't want people to be all shrieking "it wasn't done when they said it would!"

See you all soon. :-)

[Tristan]

^Yeah, that's true. Thanks for explaining!

[zach2]

I think the official time sets a 'grand re-opening' so everyone can flock back at the same time

[The Max]

And some people need some time to cool off and stuff.

A lot of message boards have a regular downtime anyway. As far as I know, this is the first time Pulse has been down since it was made.

[Luckie Starchild]

Can you restore the old logo... please.

[NotEmoJ [KEN DOLL™]]

I say we keep this around just in case we ever have to use it again.

And I could see why it could take til tomorrow night to clean, there's a *lot* to clean up...I'm sure there's some behind-the-scenes stuff the hacker did that we don't know about as well. Plus they have to re-ban all the banned members. But it'll come here before we know it At least we have this in the meantime.

I agree we should keep this around.

Also, I would be down to make some new skins for Pulse like I did way back when if
you wanna use this as a test forum. I think we still have that other one don't we? Anyways, I can't wait
for it to reopen.

[The Max]

Good ideas! I'll likely do the freezie thing on posts/new members and leave this for archives/backup purposes for now, and testing and stuff.
