Popular Post Hawkeye Posted April 20, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 20, 2021 One year ago today, die hard Eagles poster @VaBeach_Eagle and friends stood up this new board when the old board closed abruptly. Tip of the hat to you all because the transition has been seamless and we get to talk the same dumb sheet to the same dopes we've been arguing with for years - decades, in some of our cases. Stuck inside during the pandemic this board became a fun part of my daily digital rotation, and many of yours, too. Thanks to all and cheers to another good year on the NEW EMB. 23 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VaBeach_Eagle Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Registrations officially opened at 8:00 PM Eastern time, the first post was at 9:42 PM. Off the top of my head, I don't remember why we didn't open immediately for posting (I'll have to go to the archive of the old board and see if I said the reason), but I do recall being urged be the one to to make the first post... I hadn't even thought about that or what to say so I just winged it lol. It wasn't until a few weeks later that I came across the news story that was done about the old board closing, which mentioned our efforts to start this new board, I still have to chuckle at the 'TATERGEDDON' thread (title) being shown on TV lol.

Just that we weren't ready for it to begin. Maybe I just wanted to keep everyone in suspense for a couple more hours... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or maybe the name? Not sure, but happy you stepped up and MEGA.... MAKE EMB GREAT AGAIN 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure, but happy you stepped up and MEGA.... MADE EMB GREAT AGAIN No, I want to say it had to do with getting all of the boards settings completed, @Moderator12 may remember if that was the case, as he was doing that. Nothing was actually transferred over from the old EMB. Everything here was done from scratch/manually. So Mod12 did all of the settings and if I'm remembering correctly, things like the emoticons and things like that that we kind of take for granted when we're posting but if they weren't set the same way as the old EMB, it would have definitely been noticed. The profile stuff, like post counts and likes, I did manually for everyone that wanted it done and of course, for the skin (the boards theme), I hired someone from the Invision client forum to replicate the old EMB's skin. I'm not sure if anyone expected this board to look and operate EXACTLY like the old EMB, but that was my goal right from the start. A seamless (or as seamless as possible), transition. I think it went well. During the 10 days that both boards were running at the same time, I mistakenly posted over on the old EMB, thinking I was here and vice-versa lol. Having two identical boards running at the same time was a tad confusing at times. lol 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
