With absolutely no fanfare, the C-Brat anti-MSN site is launched. Watch out for the pot holes. |

Yeah, that's a good thing. Kansas kinda reminds me of.....Bayliners.
My apologies in advance to any Kansans in the audience. |

What is the plan, or is there a plan for copying the threads from the MSN-Brat site over to here?
This is way better than MSN. Loads much quicker.

Certainly open for discussion, but the reality of it is, copying over posts is very time consuming, and the only easy way is to cut/paste an entire thread into one post. You can see examples of how I did this over in the Library sections of this site - it gets the info over, but it's not as nice as having individual posts. The Library topics/posts weren't too bad - there were relatively few posts compared to the Pub, and I also saw it as a more worthwhile candidate - chat topics tend to fade away or only be current for a short period of time, tech topics are often used for reference.
My suggestion - ignore the C-Brat Pub posts, but let's bring over the photo albums. I'll handle this, but as with the CBTech photos, none of the descriptions come over initially. The descriptions are easily added to the photo albums, but that involves more text cut/pasting and time. I think this would be a worthwhile endeavor - anyone up for the task? It could be split up amongst several folks, if there is interest.

Guess I found my way over here; don't tell Kathy I'm doing this during working hours!
It really looks good; this is the same BB software I was using and I like it a lot.
Way to go guys!!! Itsa home run.....
Oh, how I love that spellchecker!

Already done - you're right, no way we'd leave those behind.
You can see them all in the Seamanship section of the Library. This also shows another cool feature we have here - "Sticky" topics. If a discussion is deemed worthy enough, making it "Sticky" keeps it at the top of the forum, so it doesn't get lost as time goes by. |

You've done a heckuva good job already on this site. What is the scoop on the photo albums? Will we be able to have our own photo albums here? Post pics?

Howdy Larry,
I'm in the process of copying photos over right now. The CBTech photos are done as are the Cruise photos - working on the "Our C-Dory Albums" right now, going in alphabetical order.
Once done, I'll set up the permissions to allow folks to post to them.

Welcome aboard, Brock! Pull up a chair and watch Danag Bill put on a show. I just hope he doesn't burn out doing all of this so quickly. I'd hate to see Dana come on here and do a post about how she found him slumped over at his computer with smoke coming out of his ears... scorched mouse finger.. and repeatedly mumbling something incoherently about "copy and paste".
How you holding up, Bill? |

No problemo - it looks like I've done a lot more than I have. All told, I've got maybe 40 hours into this place so far. All the software you see here is Open Source - written by others, free to use. It's the future, man!
My job here has consisted of packaging different components together, tweaking the source code a bit here and there to customize it just for us, and lot's of cutting/pasting from the MSN sites to here. Nothing real tough or glamorous, but I like the results so far.
