Hi and Welcome to Videokarma.org
 

My names Grump and I along with Kamakiri will be running Videokarma

We just wanted to welcome you all to the new board.

Please be patient with us as there are many bugs to work out. If you have suggestions by all means contact us about them. Thanks

Grumpy

Ha Ha ! 1st post....

Darn! Day Late....

:wave: Cool new site!

Nice site!

Thanks to Grumpy and Kamakiri for putting this together!

Wow Sandy, brand new site and over 3300 posts already! ;)

Dave

So who's gonna get to break a bottle of bubbly over her bow? Welcome VideoKarma! :wave:

Hello

Sandy has VERY special posting techniques.

Howdy everyone! :wave:

Cool--one post equals 203...must be all of my video posts over at AK.

Confirmed...the "top" posters are the TV folks! :banana:

Just checking in....

Thanks, Grumpy, Kam, and all involved. Very much appreciated.

Hi, I appreciate having this forum. Two quick comments:

1. Threads after 8/15/2009 don't seem to have transferred over. Should I assume that they will eventually reappear, or start a new thread to replace one that was ongoing as of, say, yesterday (9/8/2009)?

2. The link from the old Audiokarma forums page is broken. I got here by manually entering the URL http://www.videokarma.org/forums/ .

Hi Grumpy- Thanks for this site, it is excellent to see it.

:yes::thmbsp:

Good question! 3 weeks of posts gone :tears:

Diggin the new change! Love how much more topics and forum rooms we have!

But, yeah there are a few glitches, my old avatar is back.. The whole site is as it sat 3weeks ago. I changed my avatar and some info on my User CP previously that is back to the way it was before.

But I know admins will fix, this is the best site ever!
Audiokarma (Videokarma), you are my coffee!!!

I like that av...tie-dyed roundie!

GOSH !!! WE just keep getting BIGGER AND BETTER !!!!!
James

Let the scotch flow and the music begin! :D

I used to be able to move freely from discussions of old TVs to giving tips
about picking classical recordings, now I have to log into two different forums
to do it. Great progress, but I guess there were some good reasons for doing
it...

And it looks like all posts after August 14 are in some kind of limbo!

Wow... now it's like we have our own little town... apart from the big city. Funny to think... when I first found AudioKarma years ago, there were only a few hundred members at most. I'm sure this new VideoKarma will grow as well with time. :)

Yes, and attachments uploaded after August 14th are gone also.
I had to log in again to reply to this message even though it supposedly remembered me.

It's nice to have the seperate videokarma. Thanks!

John

I would rather have the old situation with all those 3 weeks of posts
intact than the current one. I hope everyone realizes that humans
do spend time writing these contributions.

So, the two of you joined up together again, hem?

Gotta be a success.

Best of luck to this new endeavour of yours.

Jorge

I'm reserving judgment until I've had a chance to get used to the new site for a while. I didn't see this coming (probably my fault since I've only been frequenting the vintage TV forums on AK lately) and I don't know the reasons for the change.

It would have been nice to archive/read-only the old TV posts on AK for a little while at least. They appear to be all gone and the link on there to this place doesn't work either.

Can anyone offer any insight as to the rationale for the move?

Just bugs that need to be fixed. He mentioned that with the first post. I'm confident that they will fix all the glitches. I used to manage a site and trust me it's a pita.

1. Please see this post http://www.audiokarma.org/forums/sho...=1#post3018537

2. we are aware of and working on repairing the link.

Some of the info you wanted was touched on in this post http://www.audiokarma.org/forums/sho...=1#post3018537

The lack of ability to reach the TV member due to their not wanting to venture in to the Audio or News forums is one of many reasons the site was split up.

Believe me your going to like this site much more since you will not have to abide by the long list of AK rules here such as the ability to sell your hobbyist items in the forums.

As for the missing posts there is little we can do to bring them over here. Not as many threads are gone as you think. Feel free to repost them over here if you like.

Unhappy, but can live with change...
 

The problems is not that the missing posts/threads are unavailable here, it
is that they are also gone from Audiokarma, so in practice they are not
available at all. I don't mind that much, but as a person who posted
roughly equal amounts of material in audio and 'video', I am a bit
disappointed and the advantages to me are near zero. Regards.

I think This change is a good idea. Videokarma is a cool name for it too.
Ed

Every TV and radio post ever made between 2002 and aug 13th of 2009 is right here on this site. The amount of posts that are missing is probably less then 50.

I am sorry you feel the way you do but this is the new home for these forums.

Grumpy

Thanks for the info. I'd put that figure at more like 500. Way more than 50 just from me :)

I'm curious, why the mid August cutoff ? I'm a web developer by profession and I don't see why you couldn't have copied over all the content or at least disabled posting during the transition period.

I'm going to patch up a couple of my threads from the archive, but unfortunately I can't include the thoughtful, insightful, and informative comments made by other members.

Bob

Here's the simple answer to your question.

Rule number 1: The Boss is right.

Rule number 2: In case the Boss is wrong, apply Rule number 1.

Some people decided this splitup was good, they had the power
to implement it, therefore it was implemented.

Curiously enough if you go to read your private messages after going to videokarma.org anything after aug 15th is gone. But if you go to private messages from audiokarma.org they're all there.

John

I just discovered that as well. All the posts to vintage TV and Radio forums as of last night are still there too. I just copied over a bunch of my posts.

LOL - too true.

I tried to do that but failed. How did you get to them?

John

I've been thinking for awhile that such a split would be a good idea, but I didn't want to jump in and say anything. I'm really looking forward to a more open classifieds system since nobody seemed to be using what we had.

I don't like losing posts, not one bit, but I've seen this happen here and on other sites and after some time we will all forget about it. I look for good things to come from this. Thanks to those who made it happen!

So your saying we lost 500 posts in 4 weeks time ? That would mean we lost 3 % of all posts in the TV forums.

It took that long because I had to delete over 2.4 million audio posts from the data base. Sorry if thats not quick enough for you but I run several sites and that was with me working on it night and day ignoring the other 5 sites I should have been working on.

Look I don't mean to sound condescending but you are way over stating how many posts were lost.

Grumpy

No attachments
 

The attachments on existing threads aren't showing up.

I cannot upload new attachments. I get an "Upload xxx file failed." Something they can fix I hope.

John

Oh its far from that. Its just a lack of manpower. If only I could figure out how to be in several places at the same time :banana:
