zwitterion is another new admin on Malazan Empire.
He has been sorting some server side issues for us and is also hoping to be able to merge purgatory posts with the old database.
All in all a damned decent chap. Please make him welcome.

Seriously, huge thanks!

Many thanks zwitterion! It will be great to merge the Purgatory-Nascent with the new forum. There were some petty decent posts there .

welcome zwitt!
I understand your frustration, truly. The fact is that we cannot rely on AR replying/acting in any reasonable time frame - period, fullstop. We must explore alternatives to him doing the things we currently need him to do in order to facilitate the change. If we need a new domain we will get one, etc. There must be a place for SE's fans to gather. Until and unless such a place is in safe hands, I'm on point and heads are going to roll until we get it right.
So, worst case scenario, ie., no further cooperation from AR, what are our options?

Limited. We have control of everything on malazanempire.com so that's all good but
- We can't hijack someone else's site so anyone explicitly going to www.malazanworld.com is going to stay there. (the board may be redirectable. I'd poke around in its admin panel if i had rights)
- We can't get the nascent's posts without access to its db server, (unless there's an option in the admin panel there, btw give me admin rights over there.) so the only other way to get those posts would be to write some sort of site crawler and screen scrape all the data and i'm just not Russian enough for that kind of shit.
- Even if we get those posts we can't use vBulletin's merge scripts without supplying the original login info of the guy that licensed vBulletin in the first place, which I can only imagine was rake.
If s/he doesn't care about this I don't see why it's difficult to shoot off an email with a few hostnames logins and passwords in it. But apparently it is?

Most peculiar. But we're almost up and running at full speed!
Huge thanks to all the tech heads who've figured this mess out.
I'll drink a beer for everyone of you.

I would also like to add my thanks to Zwit for his work.
How many fucking people do I have to hammer in order to get that across.
