Amazingly good question!
Fresh article postings on VB-World have temporarily frozen due due to the transfer of the network and the creation of the new system.
However as soon as we go live with the new-look, new-features site (very shortly!), everything will be back to normal and then some :)
We're also looking to take on board a fresh crew of writers, currently being organised by Jenny Lace - if you're interested in a position, mail her at [email protected]
Take care,
~ Karlos
Forgive me for being sceptical, but all I've ever seen is this site go downhill.
I can't see it improving just because of new ownership.
why did you bother coming back then?
Because he missed you Pix?
i missed nic...i also missed u :p
Jeez give Karl a chance all ready .......Quote:

Okay group hug for Karl .... oh no group hug smilies..:( Well at <site name withheld so not to upset Jamie> you can get group hug smilies.......
Thanks for all your support.
I understand that after such a period without fresh content may seem disheartening -- I agree! -- however it will get much better.
Unfortunately my own company, White Cliff, have been particularly busy of late and therefore development work on the site has slowed down a little.
However it's currently top priority and there are only a few extra features left to add before we go live. The latest? July 31st. But between us <looks side to side> probably a little earlier.
There will be a few big changes and I don't expect everyone to be raving. It's difficult to please everyone. However rest assured that a lot of elbow grease has gone into the whole site and I'm looking forward to getting out the final product.
So, there we go... and.... <HUGE GROUP HUG!>
Warmest cuddles and other stuff,
~ Karlos
By the way... the forums won't change.
There has been quite a bit of debate about that, internally and on the moderators board -- however the decision has been made to keep the forums running using vBulletin.
We've just got to find a host big enough to handle us... ;)

Sorry that doesn't happen here.Quote:

Actually, it does happen now.
I'm officially sanctioning <HUGE GROUP HUGS>.
Everyone go *WILD*!
Is the administration of the forums going to change ?
Hell no.
Everything will stay the same. No change here, except the About.com popups will be scrapped.
Yay Karl :D
*Group hug* :)
Ok, all's well and good, I think. But Karlos, what about all the flaming going on, with religion etc. I joined in October, and I love the forums, but the religious "debates" are really bringing it down. I've not seen any of the mods on here or anything. Will they be sorted out? Because I REALLY don't wanna move to turtle tips. Not while there's still hope for VBF :) How about popping in to see us on post race sometime ;) we'd love to see you :) Because I missed you earlier, here's a nice big hug http://www.theunholytrinity.org/crac...tweetz/hug.gif and a special welsh smooch http://www.vbforums.com/attachment.php?postid=781458 just for you :)Quote:

Post race? Wahoo! What fun! :)
I agree about the forums. I'm not wholly aware of Turtle Tips (who?!), however we'll do our best to revamp the whole network over the coming months. Promise.
And thanks for the Welsh kiss. Love the land. Especially Snowdonia. I've spent many a pleasant night around Cardigan Bay and actually on the mountain...
Ahhhh. But, the code window calls...
C4N,
~ Karlos
It is fun, although the moral tone tends to be a little lower than usual sometimes ;) But I don't think that there's anything there that you can't handle ;):) I'm glad you liked the kiss, feel free to ask for another one anytime, but don't tell anyone else, it's only for you, cos you're special :) Snowdonia is beautiful isn't it! I love it up there :) Been down south? I live in Llanelli, in the south. It's a cool place :cool:Quote:

Turtle Tips is another forum, and since vbf has started having little problems, people are spending more time there than here.
One thing to everyone else, especially to those who have been whinging about post race not working, switch of sigs, because most people have an image or two in their sigs, and it really slows things down, since I've done that, I'm having a lot less problems :)
Anyway guys, I'm off for tonight, I'll probably be on tomorow when I'm not revising. Nos da all *mwah*
Vicky

PS. here's another smooch for you Karlos :)
http://www.vbforums.com/attachment.php?postid=781458
:D aha! Now I understand a little more.
Well, thanks for all your feedback and best of luck with the revising.
I'm off to listen to a little Pablo Cruise...
Karlos <smoooching right back at ya!>
Ahh, thank you for the smooch Karlos *blushes*
I'll say one thing my friend, this place is addictive. If you do a search for some of my posts, you'll probably notice that I've said good night 3 or 4 times in one night, and yet I'll be posting for hours later. Just like I'm doing now, lol.
I'd like to compliment you on your tutorial on arrays too, it's brilliant! My computing teacher tried to explain arrays to me, but he's hopeless at VB, thats when I first discovered VBW :)
<blush!>
Well, that's awfully kind of you. I try to make those tutorials as user-friendly as possible. I've just written a book on .NET (Karl Moore's Visual Basic .NET: The Tutorials) which hopefully maintains the same user-friendly style using all the new technologies.
Anyway, lookout for more of the same coming with the new network! :)
And RE how addictive posting can get... well, I'm learning ;>
~ Karlos x
Hmmm,
Karl, are you going to be appearing in Chit Chat?
Seems this thread is Half-way there.
I hope no Mod gets wind of this!
:p

He he :) I'm sorry that I didn't reply earlier, nightmare of all nightmares, I lost my connection. BT are always messing around with the dsl :mad: But I'm back now, with a vengence :pQuote:

It's niec to read articles written by someone with a good sense of humour :cool: (even though you've written the odd pun which was really baaaad) . I owe you a great deal, you've taught me almost everything I know about Visual Basic :) I can't wait until the revamp, it sounds great :cool:
Please excuse any typos, I've insomnia again, it's 2.47 in li'l Wales. Can't wait to see you in chit chat :)
Hey Lou, whats new? Haven't seen you for a while

Eh Karl l meant to talk to you about the BeachBum character, he needs a good kicking ... don't know why just seems like a good idea;)
Okay... uhm... who's BeachBum and why should I give him a good licking? :eek:
Afternoon Karlos :) I'm sorry I wasn't on earlier, I didn't shut down 'til 5.30.Quote:

:D BB's a little scary at times, I'll tell you that. One of our many resident nutcases. He's alright deep down though :) (You may want to bring a shovel though ;))
BTW, you don't mind me caling you Karlos, do you?
Call me anythin' ya like! :)
Well, perhaps not *anything*. But most things. Sorta. Ish.
~ Karlos

Don't ever sayI did, because people never know whether to call me Vic/Vicky/Victoria, and now my lecturer calls me a different name every time I see him :confused: He's cool though :cool:Quote:

Anyway, how are you today?

Hey Jamie, I'm glad you've come around now, you had me worried :( Good luck in your exam. E-mail me sometime cariad, I've missed you :( *hugs* Don't wory about the exam, you'll do fine, I know you will. Pob lwc :)Quote:

I saw this as progress.
Also, I couldn't just leave the thread there.
I'd have to keep updating it if it was sticky.
Thus the reason, among others that I came back.
But well, ya know, that and I didn't mean the vast majority of the things I said and am sorry about it all and didn't mean any of it as a personal attack.
It was all just an angry outburst stemming from a whole heap of things, not just TT.
I don't like the whole tt stuff, and I still think filburt1 looks like a poof, but well most of it was OTT.
Anyway as I have a three hour comms exam in about 2 hours time, and have to cover about a year's worth of material in under and hour, I'll not have time to discuss it.

Anyway yeah went fine.

I can never be counted on initiating any sort of meaningful discourse ;)
By the way, what do you think of my tutorials ?
They're sticky at the top of general vb questions
Very good :) Well, for a change cariad, YOU can e-mail me first :p It's about time you did :p I can be just as stubborn as you are :pQuote:
