I don't have a firm ETA at this point, but we should (maybe) have it back online in the next 1-2 weeks. For sure by the end of April.snubs wrote:So, what's the progress report on the Soda Shop? Is there a time frame for when it might be back up?
Dang, that sounds intensive. =o But I'm glad you guys seem to be in the home stretch!

Let me tell ya, it's been a time! But the Soda Shop will be back. I was able to salvage all of the posts and user data, so no worries there! Once we setup the new server and install the up-to-date phpBB software, we just have to make sure that all the new extensions are installed to replace the old MODs and whatnot. I'm currently re-building the style that Jacob made for the original board which is the lengthy, time-consuming part. I had to essentially start over from scratch.
Thanks for all your help with that, Eugene!Eugene wrote:Hey, everyone! I've been helping Jacob with the broken board over the past month or so. Sorry about the downtime, but we're doing our best to fix it ASAP!
Once upon a time, the SS had its own chat until it broken and was unable to be repaired. Would this feature become available again when the SS is returned or is it forever gone?Eugene wrote:Hey, everyone! I've been helping Jacob with the broken board over the past month or so.

But I like that SS and ToO'ers sharing the Odyssey Chat. Don't suggest taking everyone away.Penguin wrote:Once upon a time, the SS had its own chat until it broken and was unable to be repaired. Would this feature become available again when the SS is returned or is it forever gone?
I feel compelled to state for the record that the Soda Shop outage was not caused by the missile system that Team Moosewood started.Peachey Keen wrote:I guess the silver lining in the Soda Shop being down is that maybe some users there will give the ToO a try.
Yeah, I'm excited too! Also really missed this dancing smiley!snubs wrote:Dang, that sounds intensive. =o But I'm glad you guys seem to be in the home stretch! I'm excited for the reopening!

For sure!! I've enjoyed the challenge as well as getting to reconnect with the Odyssey online community because of it.Peachey Keen wrote:Thanks for all your help with that, Eugene!
That would be cool! It know it's gotten me back into the ToO a bit. Bren told me about this thread and I decided to pipe up for the first time in forever!Peachey Keen wrote:I guess the silver lining in the Soda Shop being down is that maybe some users there will give the ToO a try.
Oh yeah, that's a good question! I was recently reading about that whole ordeal with the chat being broken.snubs wrote:But I like that SS and ToO'ers sharing the Odyssey Chat.

The chat is so quiet as it is. It would really become dead if the SS got their chatroom back.

...Even though they were mentioned as a possible target by a later administration.
We definitely did not intentionally take down the Soda Shop in an attempt to drive traffic to us.
We didn't do it unintentionally either.
I mean we didn't do it at all. We had nothing to do with it is what I'm trying to say.
I was just wondering if the SS chat was truly unrepairable or if we were being bamboozled. But, yes I would vote for the SS to point to the Odyssey Chat as their chat so that doesn't lose chatters.Eugene wrote:Oh yeah, that's a good question!

My own opinion is that it doesn't totally make sense to have a separate chat just for the Soda Shop when all of the chat can go under one roof at Odyssey.Chat, so I doubt that we'll implement another chat system there. At least for now. Besides, Jacob likes to keep things simple over at the Scoop... so yeah, overall I agree with snubs. (But never say never! )
Cool, cool. From what I can tell, it was pretty much irreparable. Though if it was salvageable, all of the old MODs aren't compatible with the new version of phpBB so it would have to be replaced anyway. But yes. I'd like to explore ways to revitalize the chat and maybe integrate it into both the SS and ToO, but that's for later.Penguin wrote:I was just wondering if the SS chat was truly unrepairable or if we were being bamboozled.
