FAQ / Board Issues / Switch to SMF from phpBB
« on: July 21, 2007, 04:46:53 am »
Hello,

This is a brief post to let you know of our plans with the forum.  You might have hit the forum today when it was unaccessible... we were taking a snapshot of the database to run through the conversion process to switch from phpBB to SMF as we want to make sure all the posts and users migrate properly.

SMF is a very lean, easy to maintain and free forum with many themes.

You can read about it here: http://www.simplemachines.org/

Here is the page with themes: http://custom.simplemachines.org/themes/

I welcome you to go look at the themes and post which ones you like.

Our tentative timeline is to complete the mock (edit: mach is the speed of sound -Trolan) setup this weekend where can review everything and ensure there are no problems from an administrative perspective.  Once that is complete we will setup a time to move the main forum at which point we will have to take a maintenance window of 1-2 hours where the forum is down while it is converted to the new software.

We have also made some plans for the main site, getting the forum to something easier to maintain and less spam bots is just the first step... :)

they had almost all the roads shut down around my place, i could barely get to work.  the crazy thing is they've been building these new places really fast to try to get the new condos up etc, i wonder how many months this is gonna set them back?  Driving home tonight from work the area was still smoldering with a few firetrucks still out there over 12 hours later.

I love the photo jounalists that post pictures to flickr within minutes of something happening... this is one of the advantages to living in silicon valley :)

FAQ / Board Issues / Mod Announcement - Will (m125boy)
« on: May 15, 2005, 10:49:05 pm »
Given the recent updates regarding Vanessa, the staff here has spent many days discussing the direction in which we want to take things.  Our plans for additional mods were under the assumption and hope that we would be embarking on a new journey with a second single and we had the desire for some massive promotion.  With the current state of all things Vanessa, it appears that will not be happening.  Therefore we have collectively made the following decisions.

We have chosen to scale down our desire to add two mods and chosen to only add one.  We have a great deal of respect for everyone that threw their name in the hat.  We were overwhelmed (truthfully) by the people who are interested in helping us here and the skills/experience that everyone has and can bring to the table.  We really don't want anyone to get discouraged by not being chosen because each of you are extremely valuable to the overall goal of promoting Vanessa.  It took a lot of discussion and looking at the future of the group to identify who at this point in time would best help us achieve that goal.

That being said, ya'll are probably like "Just tell us who the hell it is!"...

I wish for you all to congratulation Will "em one twenty-five boy" (feel free to make fun of the s/n) as the newest member to NH.com staff and mod team.  Will has a lot of experience in many areas that will bring assistance to us here.  Allow me to name a few:
     - His knowledge of all things Vanessa having been a fan for many years
     - His knowledge around web development, forum software (specifically phpbb which we run here) and familiarity of Unix
     - His knowledge around patents, copyrights and trademarks and ability to research many other issues we may come up against in the future
     - His knowledge around coding and programming which will help us develop the vision I have for the street team for us all to ensure Vanessa is successful in all future ventures of hers
     - His knowledge about forum moderation in the same manner in which we like to do things here to keep things consistent.
     - Lets not forget his persistence organizing VC historic data and rare runes that we all know and love.

If any of you that nominated have any concerns or would like any feedback, please feel free to contact myself or another member of the staff.  We will be happy to talk with you about it however the information we share will be limited.

Much love to you all and peace!

FAQ / Board Issues / New Mods... Holla!
« on: April 12, 2005, 09:32:19 pm »
Howdy

As we approach 1000 registered users here in our little forum, we have begun discussion around the addition of 2 more moderators.  We have decided to involve everyone in the nomination process.  So here is what we're looking for:
   a) Someone trustworthy!  It is important that you are honest with the staff and the other members of the forum.  You have to enforce the rules we have laid out in a fair and respectful manner.
   b) You must be willing to contribute personal time to moderate, post and support the overall nessaholics.com community.  That means occasional staff meetings, inbound emails discussions regarding contests... etc.  If you don't have time don't even bother :)
   c) You must be proficient in all things 'nessa because that is what we're about.

If you're interested, or you know someone else that you would like to "nominate" for one of the two positions, please email staff@nessaholics.com with a subject of "Mod Nomination" including the following information:

Who you're nominating:  (yourself/another member).  Please include their actual name and forumname
How long have they been a fan:
What you feel you can contribute to the forum:
What existing experience you have that is applicable:
What is something you'd like to change about nh.com if you were chosen:
What other random information you want to include:


We look forward to hearing from anyone and everyone

Cheers!

p.s. oh right... and please try to send it in within the next um... week or so :)

Other Musicians / Antonique Smith
« on: January 02, 2005, 04:47:41 am »
I think everyone should check out Antonique Smith.  She is currently signed to DreamWorks (which was acquired by Universal Music Group).  She is a very talented vocalist and actress who will hopefully be releasing a CD very soon.  There is an mp3 on her site, video of her performing All By Myself and a forum where you can ask her questions and stuff :)

The website is www.antonique.com -- check it out and let me know what you think :)

Polls / Sex before Marriage?
« on: December 02, 2004, 06:51:45 pm »
Hello,

So this topic has come up several times recently where I have asked a few people what their opinions are on sex before marriage.  So here is a poll!  Now, just because you've had sex and are not married doesn't mean your opinions can't change.

I'm sure everyone has seen the pride bands for Live Strong and possibly the newer ones for "Be Strong-MLE"... would you wear one for AThousandRoses if we shipped one to everyone that donated

General Vanessa Carlton Discussion / Harmonium available on iTunes
« on: November 09, 2004, 12:18:32 am »
Harmonium is now available on iTunes.  If you plan on buying it, you can help support NESSAholics.com by clicking the below link.  It will launch iTunes where you can purchase Harmonium -- the only difference is 5% of the proceeds are donated to NESSAholics.com because we have registered as an Affiliate with iTunes.  So please support us if you're going to buy it through iTunes just use the link :)



Thanks

-katia

p.s. I already purchased Harmonium in iTunes even though I have a few copies ordered... it's just another method of supporting the artist as the more purchases show up in iTunes the higher Vanessa is ranked.

Completely Off-Topic / military hats
« on: November 07, 2004, 09:55:38 pm »
So i was talking with Todd and he was asking me if i was close to VMI - Virginia Military Institute.

I had no idea what or where this place was so i google it, go to the website and find where they are.  Of course, where they are is totally irrelevant to this topic.

What is the deal with them wearing the stap to their hat under their lower lip???  what is the purpose of this?

See example A:


I don't think it looks very impressive, in fact it looks rather silly.  I was hoping someone had some sort of answer for me as to why this is done in this fashion
