Might I suggest switching to SMF? :o)

animuson on Feb 27, 2009

What is the purpose of this discussion?

Nice on Feb 27, 2009

lobotomia on Feb 27, 2009

The chefs have to wake up...

Darkneo on Feb 27, 2009

Me and Ben and a couple others members have realized the chefs are so into all their other projects that they are no longer involved with us, we are planning on rebuilding the IB community we used to know and love, it will be an immortal friendship that we want to expand on and to keep the real community built up and close together

agayev on Feb 28, 2009

If IB is losing money why don't they put it up for sale??? IB is a great community and with some tweaks it can be brought back to life from coma... For instance users could be submitting their own user-made icons to IB, i'm sure there are many designers on here willing to make some icons in exchange for tokens... That's just one idea...

How much do you guys reckon IB could cost???

AlterEgo on Feb 28, 2009

Here's an approximate value.

discerningword on Feb 28, 2009

@ brannon: Didn't connect the term. Lol. Fairly new to forum stuff. But I've actually done "the bump" intentionally once or twice here. Thanks for the answer.

Betty on Feb 28, 2009

Registered an hour or so ago. Still no email confirmation/opt in. Yes, I've checked the spam box. This needs to be easier to get more participation.

Darkneo on Feb 28, 2009

Thats odd, i've had several others who have had no problem, i see if I can accept you manually

Darkneo on Feb 28, 2009

Betty, i've activated you, if anyone else has problems just let me know here

SawanM on Mar 01, 2009

I got my e-mail instantly.

gswd on Mar 01, 2009

Ok. I signed up, and activated. Now what?

Darkneo on Mar 01, 2009

everyone who has sent me a message has been added to the IB group, we are at a point where we first need suggestions, use the forum "New IB" for them

B3llit0 on Mar 02, 2009

Wheee, I was the first person in the IB group…

Darkneo on Mar 02, 2009

Lol, thats because we started our conversation on all this a long time ago

dyar on Mar 02, 2009

I don't get it, there's nothing there

misterhaan on Mar 02, 2009

i had no problem signing up, activating, or sending darkneo a pm

Darkneo on Mar 03, 2009

Dyar, have you seen the IB forums hiding on there

Darkneo on Mar 03, 2009

lol, dyar, might have helped if you mentioned you joined. You've been added to the IB group

samkarn on Mar 03, 2009

Sent the PM...

Betty on Mar 03, 2009

OK, thanks, I'm in....but where is the IB forum??
Here are the only topics I can see:
New Site in the Works, Layout Up Finally, Special Happy Time, New Search, Updating Site, Welcome to DarkNeoNetwork.
Maybe it's just me, but this is way too complicated.

Darkneo on Mar 03, 2009

Betty, its near the bottom of the page. I'll give you a direct link later but class is about to end.

Darkneo on Mar 03, 2009

OK, I'm finally there.

Darkneo on Mar 04, 2009

Everyone has been added so far :)

a2 on Mar 04, 2009

I've just gone over to "the Dark Side"

Darkneo on Mar 04, 2009

I'm starting to think the Dark side is being with the chefs even though they obviously dropped us....

soobrett on Mar 28, 2009

I've been kinda tied up with house-moving so haven't been keeping up, but count on my support.

I'm going to cancel VIP – what's the point if they're not releasing any sets?

BardJudith on Apr 04, 2009

(turns around without looking and accidentally BUMPS the thread with her hip, knocking it upwards...)

gswd on Apr 04, 2009

Ooops. I seem to have tripped over something here. Why it is this here little thread. Hope y'all will come by and say howdy to us ex-pats over there.

Jen on Apr 07, 2009

*bump*

agayev on Apr 10, 2009

So what's going on over there???

gswd on Apr 10, 2009

Members of this community are trying to develop a grassroots community to replace IB.

agayev on Apr 12, 2009

Ok... Can we make a new site with similar interface to IB and all move on there??? There won't be any chefs, so we will have to make our own icons and share them... The rest will be just like IB... Sounds like fun to me and very do-able... We can call it IB2... Anyone???????????????????????

mebenson on Apr 12, 2009

hi..

gswd on Apr 12, 2009

@agayev: That is pretty much what they are trying to do. Just hashing out the details and finding people to volunteer time for the coding and of course the icons designing.

gswd on Apr 12, 2009

@mebenson: Hi to you too. :)

agayev on Apr 13, 2009

Should i join then???

terremom on May 09, 2009

BUMP!!!

discerningword on Jun 08, 2009

Hey, newbies/oldies/in-betweenies... join.

soprano on Jun 09, 2009

Why's the forum all private?

cnbfft on Jun 09, 2009

Registered, activated, sent a PM to Darkneo. Where are the IB forums?

Squall on Jun 09, 2009

me too, but site looks abandon ...

gswd on Jun 09, 2009

I couldn't swear to it, but I think things slowed down a bit because of school, or something.

cnbfft on Jun 11, 2009

I got a message from Darkneo, I can see the IB related forums now :)

gswd on Jun 14, 2009

I just sent DarkNeo a message to see if we can get this straitened out for you Gullicat.

Squall on Jun 14, 2009

I got a message from Darkneo, I can see the IB related forums now :)

P.S. ok, ok, Shack I will pay for the copy rights :D

cnbfft on Jun 14, 2009

Mm that will be 10 tokens Squall ;)

Darkneo on Jun 15, 2009

gullicat, activated :)

tamashii on Jun 16, 2009

What's all this then?

jakemates on Jun 16, 2009

Just PM'd you.

tamashii on Jun 16, 2009

I'll lend my thoughts to such a site to anyone involved in its creation. Those individuals can feel free to leave a message in my Box for email info and the like. I'll refrain from joining the forum advertised in here — I just belong to far too many sites/forums to feel compelled to add another merely to discuss the creation of yet another. I can also post vicariously through gullicat if necessary.

louiemctool on Jun 16, 2009

i am jealous of your vicariousness...

:)

fellowfarm on Jun 25, 2009

I'm not sure if I had posted before but I agreed with what one of you said, why not just sell IB if they can't handle it? It's a pretty unique concept, I'm sure someone will buy it just to keep it from dying. I know I would if I was in the position to.

gswd on Jun 28, 2009

ok break over. back to work. *bumpity bumpity*

cnbfft on Jul 04, 2009

Up, too.

Squall on Jul 04, 2009

hey gullicat, why don't you delete your old bumps?

gullicat on Jul 14, 2009

Don't see why I'm the only one that should remove the old bumps. Doesn't seem like anyone is reading the blog anyway.

gullicat on Aug 02, 2009

Just for Squall,

BUMP BUMP BUMP

annelions on Aug 06, 2009

Just found this thread and signed up.

FallenAngel on Aug 07, 2009

FallenAngel reporting for duty! Arrr! It's been months since I've visited here...what's going on?! Little signs of activity, no new icons, no sign of the chefs...has everyone been abducted by aliens?

annelions on Aug 07, 2009

Aliens is a good explaination!

louiemctool on Aug 07, 2009

all your icons are belong to Mork...

:]

gullicat on Aug 07, 2009

I haven't seen any new activity on the other site either. I will get the final sets this month then all tokens will be a waste. I'm not sure when the last new set was issued but it's been a long time, maybe coming up to almost a year.

louiemctool on Aug 07, 2009

December 15, 2008. Retro Snow.

:p

annelions on Aug 08, 2009

Dang, has it really been that long? Ick.

Either way, I'm still trying to collect as many sets as I can before this site ends up going poof. Unfortunately, I still have a good 128 sets to go. Grr.

annelions on Aug 08, 2009

At least SOMEBODY fixed something since the last set came out, so I can post new blogs. It gave me errors for months and I'd given up hope of them fixing it. Tried it again, just for kicks. Worked. Yay.

animuson on Aug 08, 2009

I don't think this topic/forum is being taken seriously anymore. The last time the owner logged on was June 15. I guess it wasn't so 'important' to him.

annelions on Aug 10, 2009

Too bad. :-(

gullicat on Aug 10, 2009

to animuson: think you're right about the other site not being important. It died almost before it got started. Such a shame.

Darkneo on Aug 19, 2009

Me backs :) finally have a computer again, lol. and court's over for the most part. Time to get back to work

discerningword on Aug 19, 2009

Good to know you're back!

gullicat on Aug 19, 2009

Welcome back!!

debbye on Aug 21, 2009

Howdy, y'all…

i thought i would drop in for a quick "hello" !

perusing my way around the old homestead & seeing familiar faces is nice. ahhhhhh … the good old days. i cannot believe that the last set was our LAST set & that a chef hasn't been here since June. :(

it's still nice to see everyone. i'll keep checking in till they roll up the sidewalk.

TTFN

Darkneo on Aug 24, 2009

How can you tell when the chefs were last here?

debbye on Aug 24, 2009

@Darkneo - someone posted earlier, here.

i have no clue how animuson knew.
