READ ME FIRST - The Message Board "RE-BOOT" 2/4/04
Ok, it looks like the messageboard is alive again.
However, I'm using a new database... so the old stuff is... GONE!
Well, maybe we can enjoy some of the same conversations even better
the second time around!
EVERYONE, including myself, is required to register on this board again...
so just remember we're all in the same (however frustrating) boat.
I'm sure there will be a few rusty areas that need ironing out...
but it's nice just to see a working board on the site again.
If you're interested in what happened...
The webhosting company that I had been using for four years (Endore.com)
just "disappeared" on all of its customers sometime in January.
Some people lost their business websites,
others lost pictures of friends and family...
and it looks like ValiantComics.com lost the messageboard database.
Luckily, there are probably a few of you who won't mind jumping into
a new discussion or two... and we'll get our collective knowledge (and opinions)
back online in no time.
Thanks for your emails and concerns... I think we're ready to go now!

and I can confirm that it is possible to register - except that I got an error message saying an email could not be sent.greg wrote:everything seems to be working!
I've had more time available these last days, but it's good to see the forum back up anyway
Btw, I didn't put much info into my registration in case you need to reset everything again.
Big thanks to Greg for bringing the site back so quickly.
Best,
Magnus

Re: Well, we're back... but the slate is wiped clean!
This whole thing must have been awefully frustrating for you greg.
I hope you aren't permanently damaged.

can we start sending in out inventories again? I know that I have SERIOUSLY missed that...I did not know what to do with my self when I would come home with a load of comics and not know when I would see my inventory updated on the big board....I gotta get outta the basement on the big board and I think that I might do it with this update...
