Just a heads up, for those who don't know, but still participate over at Beth. They're going to be making new forums, and from what I'm hearing, a lot of things are going to get demolished. Usernames, post counts, stars .... all of that is going to be started over. Actually, here, I'll just let Gstaff explain ... QUOTE Hi
We’re still in kicking the tires on Bethesda.net, and are very excited about the progress we’re making on the forums. We believe you guys will be happy with the changes and new features they will offer.
There are a few things worth noting at this time:
1) Usernames and posts will not be ported over. We will give folks a heads up as we get closer to the forum launch date so you can ready for the transition and claim your preferred username.
2) We will not transition all of our forums over at once. We want to make sure we’re testing functionality on the forums and gathering feedback from folks like you.
3) As forums transition over to Bethesda.net we plan to archive the existing forums so that folks can reference back to old posts.
Moving is never easy – there will be adjustments and we hope that you’ll pardon the dust as we all get used to our new digs. Knowing the longstanding efforts, love and attention, and general awesomness I’ve seen from all of you, I expect bigger and better things for everyone on the Bethesda.net forums.
Much more to come! Personally I could care less about my username, my post count, my stars, all of that stuff. I was worried I would lose all my old posts there, the stories, the good times, but apparently #3 takes care of that. They're supposed to archive the old forums, which means all our ("Our", assuming you participated over at Beth) posts are going to be okay, we just won't be able to participate in old threads. PMs are also not getting ported over, but those are easy to archive, of course. So in essence, we're all getting the banhammer over at Beth. yuk yuk.  It's all good though.

Phew, now I'm relieved. I thought it was some other Renee Gade that registered on Bethesda.net, one can't be too sure with such a common username.

Time to bypass the ban.
Rohugh is still around, but maybe you'll slip right past the guards. GOod luck! QUOTE(Lopov @ Feb 5 2016, 08:27 AM)  QUOTE(Renee @ Feb 4 2016, 08:48 PM)  This exactly.

I can just imagine the hordes, the masses, the long line waiting to just claim the name ReneeGade.  And all of them will be disappointed I got there first.

Appears no one else wanted to be Treydog, either.... bobg- so thrilled to see you again! Best wishes to you and your Mrs., hope things improve. If I don't say it enough (and I imagine I don't)- it has been a great honor to have so many wonderful people (and wonderful writers) come here and make Chorrol what it has become- just because I stomped my furry feet about the changes at T'Other Place  Well- okay- more than that... but the honored part is most definitely true. Thank you all.

Not as thrilled as I am to be acknowledged by you. I have always considered you a bright flame in a bonfire of brilliant writers. Thanks for your well wishes. We plug along, laugh when we can, cry when we must and thank god for it every day.

QUOTE(Acadian @ Feb 3 2016, 05:44 PM)  Thank you for the update, mirocu. I did go look at Gstaff's thread, followed his instructions and registered. Happily, Acadian was available as a call sign and I had no problems. Not sure what it means exactly, but I am registered now. Lol.
mALX was still available, QUOTE(Decrepit @ Feb 3 2016, 08:42 PM)  I signed up as my decrepit self, but won't visit there again until I know the forums are active. Wanna link straight to 'em rather than contend with the Bethesda.net home page, which I have no interest in.
This. QUOTE(ghastley @ Feb 4 2016, 01:17 PM)  Some notes that may have relevance to others:
I registered from my browser at home, and tried to login from work. It accepted the name and password, but sent me an email (to my home server) with the login link for the "new browser or device". It's likely that will happen any time you clear your cookies, so make sure the email address you supply the first time isn't temporary, or you might get locked out.
User names containing spaces aren't allowed, as the space acts as a delimiter in some of the interfaces, and the name would get truncated at the space. Presumable Pseron Wyrd has changed his, as he states he can get it. Only one non-alphanumeric character, too. Can't see any reason for that restriction. Accented characters should count as regular alphabetic ones.
Urk, my email / IP address about to change; and I just signed up. QUOTE(tegeus-Cromis @ Feb 4 2016, 01:56 PM)  This all just sounds too tedious. Though I'm mostly concerned about just two forums - OB Mods and the (frequently excellent) Construction Set forums. But it looks to me like The Assimilation Lab and TES Alliance (and Chorrol, of course!) can fill the gap mightily, so I just may not bother with Beth Forums at all once the change happens.
TESAlliance just changed their forums a few months ago too, I'm not thrilled with the changes  QUOTE(Darkness Eternal @ Feb 4 2016, 04:04 PM)  Hope Rohugh isn't around this time.
Time to bypass the ban.
QUOTE(tegeus-Cromis @ Feb 6 2016, 07:09 AM)  Ended up registering just for the sake of reserving my username. After all, you don't know that you mightn't gain great notoriety in some distant future...
Oh, and Firefox worked just fine for me.
Yes, I already had one person try to impersonate me on here, didn't want to leave my name open for another horrible incident like that.

Thank you for your kind thoughts and I have passed those on to my wife. Her stroke caused loss of control on her left side. She can walk slowly for short distances using a quad cane but is basically dependent on her wheelchair. She remembers your handle from our old fanfiction days and told me to tell you that she wishes I was still writing. (Not going to happen.) I doubt I will use the new forum once it is up. It appears to not include the older games anyway and I'm not interested in ESO.

Curious about the timeline for the BethSoft changeover to new forums, I went looking for info. I started going backwards through the very long thread over there that discusses the new forum registration. I found my answer in a post made yesterday by Rohugh (one of the mods there) - QUOTE This information is for registration only, the new forums will be opened at a date to be announced. So I guess there is not a definitive timeline yet.

I can't stress enough how much I dislike Rohugh. I'd go into detail but I'd have to ban myself for the graphic expletives I'd need to use to properly detail how much I can't stand him. Suffice to say, he's an arrogant nazi who thinks being a mod over there makes him special. If you've ever dealt with him I'm sorry because you get it.

Indeed. At one time I played 'the Settlers' online and you had to enter a game through the server's chat room. Some hackers were able to enter vulgar comments which were attributed to someone else's chat login. That didn't bother me as much as regular chat people acting as if the login named was making those entries. When it happened to me, I didn't respond to those entries that purported to be from me but I definitely tore into those who acted like any of that was legitimate. Everybody knew what was going on. They just thought it would be fun to join in. It did result in some interesting challenge games.
