Watch the Footage

The Wall Was Fine, is my personal favourite. But I'm looking forward to the referral logs if Wall Repair Service wins.

Well, due to some sandbox fun, I have found the actual limitation: the address includes an ".com/name_of_the_board/index/"
Specifically, the "name_of_the_board" bit, can't be changed. The tittle, however, can be edited freely, so it's not a real problem if we decide to have it be "The Wall Won't Fall" for instance, as that's just a display string.

It will become an issue if/when we get a traditional domain name like a .com one. But for all intents and purposes, something like "/twwf_fans/index/" can work just fine for the moment.

I didn't get around to messing with the layout, as I'll have to brush up on html and css a bit for that, but I've found some layouts I can copy into the control panel and even the default one can be tinkered with to suit us better. But that can be changed without affecting functionality, so it can be done over time.

I didn't find out about every single option yet, but we have a break until the 26th, so I'll be waiting and playing around until then... It took me somewhere around 6 hours to get from registering to posting here now, so I can assume I can get the new place functionally ready to roll within 1 day of the call to move out.

Fourth Wall Repair Service, then?

Oh, is that what we were? Man I bought all that drywall for nothing then.

Seriously, though, this is a nice fun title, too. I like most of these.

I'd omit the "Fourth" and just go with "Wall Repair Service". Bit more succinct. I'm still fine with either one, though. :)

It's the disappointed homeowner thing. I think Metamasonry, myself.

Ooh, I like that.

You guys realize I'm not making Metamasonry the name of the forum, right?
Funny as it may be, it is just going too far.

Wall Repair Service has the implication that we're converging there as an central for when the wall needs us again. It's funny and works as an in-joke without being too obnoxious.

The Wall Was Fine which seems to be second place at the moment is a bit misleading from an inside perspective. It gives the feeling that the wall actually was fine, when in truth we made the wall be fine.

The Wall Won't Fall can be the title, if not the url, and it's so far what I think to be the best TWWF title so far.

If I could open a poll here I would. Going to SurveyMonkey or something like that seems unnecessary though... And I can still make the URL be /twwf-fans/index/ with any title... Domain name issues we leave quiet for now and resolve if/when we decide to register for one.

IDK About you guys but I know what I probably will or won't do.

I am probably going to fanfiction the hell out of this ARG. I know Pixel is making an ARG but I also wish to make one as well, though I do not know if I will. If I do it will be based on my fan-ARG universe that caused controversy awhile back.

I think there I could pour out all of my ideas that I had awhile before and then some. I don't know if I WILL do it but it is something I am considering. I would most definitely make it "Darker" than the original. That would be a fact as I am a fan of more hardcore versions of storytelling. Not crazy just a bit more dark than the lighthearted, sort of campy tone of this one.

So yea, that is my future, aside from my Let's Playing, Movie Making, and Book Writing XD

I'm with Jester on this. There was talk earlier of making a Shared Universe out of this, and I have ideas. Oh, so many ideas.

I feel ya Black. I really do.

I most definitely won't be using classical literature. It was great when TWWF did it but I will be hittin more 20th and 21st century stuff.

Not all of them have to be books either. Movies, Video Games, Comics, Mangas. The works.

Hm... guys... Why don't we use the same (and free) system they used in this forum? There's a link under every page...

I'm pretty sure phpBB is paid.

Movies- Yes

Comics- OK
Mangas-NO

You mean PHPBB? That's exactly what I'm using. (Actually, I can't seem to find phpBB info on Zetaboards... Weird. I was sure it was the same engine...)

That's just a technology Vic, we need a server to run it. To use it directly, on my own, I'd need to buy or rent a server to host it. Then there's bandwidth and uptime I'd have to worry about.

A full team with resources will of course do that. But me? I'm just using Zetaboards, which handles all that up there and lets me just use the forum while they deal with the technical side. It places some limitations on what I can do, and has advertising. But just like Wikia it's the sort of place that actually allows a Ragtag Bunch of Misfits like us to host content without needing too many resources.

Oh... But it looks like it links to Forumatic... Which seems to work like Zetaboards does... Hum... I'll need to have a look for myself.

Trying out Forumatic...
It just looks so much nicer...
Though I have no idea how to actually customize stuff in there... And it seems to have some heavier limitations than Zetaboards, but it's more up to date and a lot more similar to this one.

...This is a good question, why DON'T we use that?

First of all, plural of manga is manga. Second of all, what do you have against manga and anime?

The fact I, nor Pyro, know anything about it? Personal taste?

[offtopic] I like your new signature, Endless.

Um yea okay but that has no bearing on everybody else since some people like and enjoy magna. Personally i only read on magna so i don't know that much about them but that doesn't really mean i should be able to say no one else is allowed to talk about them.

rerail: everyone can talk about the things they enjoy, while avoiding the topics that they really don't care for.

What do you guys think about having a debates section?

Um, I understand that. I made a throwaway remark in very small text to explain that I might not be there, and Endless chose to ask why, to which I obviously I had to respond. No intention of impacting anyone else.

Well, it seemed like an unusually vitriolic response. Thought I might as well ask. *shrug* Thanks for the compliment, though!

So... I guess it's over...

And they're keeping this forum open.
So scratch making a new one.

I am still keeping my prospects open for creating a forum simply for fan-fic-arg purposes.
