Migration to a new platform
Hello Uncharted Worlds players and aficionados.
Given that the deadline for the shutdown of G+ Communities is fast approaching, and not wanting to burden Sean with the details, I want to inform you that a forum will be opened on the official website.
I will make sure it has the following features, but I am for a simple solution, not something with tons of bells and whistles.
– Forum (threads, moderation)
– Google login support
If there is a bell or a whistle which would be useful to the community, reply to this and tell me and I will do my best to ensure that the needs (or even just the wants) of the community are served.
Huzzah! Thanks for doing this!
A dice bot is certainly a luxury, but it goes a long way towards encouraging PbP play.
Todd Zircher It would also be somewhere to hang an online char-gen aide, if one ever got scripted.
Do you need a backup of this community for later import?
This is amazing!
Mischa Krilov I am looking into backup solutions. I must say nothing obvious has come up, so any help is welcomed.
Julie Murray I can dump to WordPress or Blogger or JSON. I will do so when I get back to a keyboard.
… I’m speechless. Thank you Julie, from the bottom of my heart. (I’m sorry I haven’t been in touch with you and the family lately. I hope everyone is well)
Mischa Krilov The website is currently on a Joomla platform, so JSON would probably provide the best way of porting all that information.
Sean Gomes That’s what friends are for :-). Take care.
FYI, there is currently a technical issue preventing the exporter form behaving as expected. I do not have a backup of this Community yet.
Julie Murray They released a new version of the exporter. I’m pointing it at this Community now, will see how it behaves.
Julie Murray I have some JSON for you!
