why are there never any new articles on vbworld any more

**locutus** · May 13th, 2002, 09:59 AM

I used to like following the tutorials on vbworld , what ever happened to the articles and why did they stop ?

can anyone enlighten me

thx , locutus

KarlMoore · May 13th, 2002, 10:09 AM

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.

**Pix** · May 22nd, 2002, 11:47 AM

why did you bother coming back then?

**rinoaheartilly** · May 22nd, 2002, 03:18 PM

Because he missed you Pix?

**ghost ryder** · May 22nd, 2002, 05:35 PM

Jeez give Karl a chance all ready .......

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.......

KarlMoore · May 23rd, 2002, 11:06 AM

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

KarlMoore · May 23rd, 2002, 11:09 AM

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.
You'll have to goto turtletips.com for that

KarlMoore · May 23rd, 2002, 11:10 AM

Actually, it does happen now.

I'm officially sanctioning <HUGE GROUP HUGS>.

Everyone go *WILD*!

**plenderj** · May 23rd, 2002, 11:13 AM

Is the administration of the forums going to change ?

KarlMoore · May 23rd, 2002, 11:30 AM

Hell no.

Everything will stay the same. No change here, except the About.com popups will be scrapped.

**Pix** · May 23rd, 2002, 12:32 PM

Yay Karl

*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

and a special welsh smooch

just for you

Vicky

KarlMoore · May 23rd, 2002, 03:55 PM

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,

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

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

KarlMoore · May 23rd, 2002, 04:15 PM

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!>

**rinoaheartilly** · May 23rd, 2002, 04:30 PM

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

KarlMoore · May 23rd, 2002, 04:39 PM

<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

**NotLKH** · May 23rd, 2002, 05:00 PM

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!

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

But I'm back now, with a vengence

It's niec to read articles written by someone with a good sense of humour

(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

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

I'm going to check the other posts I've missed, tra for now

KarlMoore · May 24th, 2002, 03:05 AM

Okay... uhm... who's BeachBum and why should I give him a good licking?

Afternoon Karlos

I'm sorry I wasn't on earlier, I didn't shut down 'til 5.30.

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?

KarlMoore · May 24th, 2002, 07:08 AM

Call me anythin' ya like!

Well, perhaps not *anything*. But most things. Sorta. Ish.

Okies Karlos

I know what you mean

Don't ever say

Call me anythin' ya like!

I 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

He's cool though

Anyway, how are you today?

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.

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

As usual they changed the format of the paper for my class.
They've been doing that since we started the course.
Anyway yeah went fine.

Now have Information Management on monday, which I hate the most.

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
