kettlefish, can you please register on the new site, thanks

Also - Moritz Brunnhofer told us (for the German Carcassonne-Forum)
that we need an "Impressum" (the adress)

Hi Gantry,

I miss in the new forum at the list of expansions in the profil:
- Mini 1-6 (7) - for example: The Ferries, The Mage & Witch...
- Wind Roses (that is what Whaleyland told)
- Winter-Edition
- The Gingerbread Man

My idea is to put all the special expansions from Spielbox in a separate block
- The Tunnels
- The Cathars

And at the moment the list is from a-z. I think it's better:
- basic game + big extensions
- all the minis (HiG)
- all the minis (Spielbox...)
- BigBox 1-4
- special editions (Wheel of fortune, 10years-edition...)
- Stand alone games (Hunters & Gatherers, The Winter-Edition....)

You can find an example what I think about at the German Carcassonne-Forum:

Okay, at this time I would like to ask ONLY the admins, moderators and site staff to register on the new forum, the address is here: Registration Page PLEASE register using the same email address you used on the old site. You will be able to change it at a later date.

I have to approve each registrant so if you don't get an approval right away just have patience, I do need to sleep sometime!
Then please check in by saying hello in the existing thread in General.

If you are not a mod or site staff, please refrain from registering right now. Thanks.

I sent this message from Gantry to the admins (Scott, mjharper) and to site staff (Novelty) and to all the global moderators.

can't wait to register :-)

Hi all this is Gantry.

Just wanted to let you all know that the new forums are coming along just fine. Basically they are a mirror image of this one.
At some point in the near future, I will be locking these forums as read-only if I'm able. So this will force everyone to register on the new forums (using their exact same username and email address as this one) to be able to post.

So what I'd like to ask is that if you have something to post, that you want some discussion on, it will be best if you wait to post on the new forums (since these will be locked as read-only).

I don't have a specific timeline, but I am continuing to work on it for a few more hours tonight. The forums are replicated, the member groups are done. The tough part now is assigning the complex permissions system to the new forum's membergroups and boards. There are thousands of settings I have to check and cross-reference so it is going slow. Hopefully I should be done tomorrow at the latest. I can no longer log in as Gantry so I have to log in as admin. Oh also avoid emailing me until further notice, thanks for your continued patience. I will continue to post updates as they happen here.

My email to Scott - 07 02 2013:

Hi Scott,
 
I called with HiG today.
In the case of "carcassebs" at BGG is Mr. Fronja from the HiG-Team my person.
Mr. Fronja wrote to "carcassebs" the emails.
 
Definitely they (HiG) don't like the idea of a 2nd English speaking forum.
The only one for the English speaking world is CarcassonneCentral.
 
I told him, that Gantry is working in the background to create a new
forum for CarcassonneCentral.

Moritz Brunnhofer hadn't time for a telephone call,...

Here are some emails between me and Scott from today:

from me to Scott:

Hi Scott,
again at BGG:
Mr. Burn (carcassebs) ...
-------------------------------------------
What I personally know from Moritz Brunnhofer (HiG) is, that they prefer to have only one english speaking Forum - that is CarcassonneCentral.
I will call him tomorrow.
Greetings

from Scott to me:

I posted a reply. This is very frustrating for me... I don't need this guy making it worse.

from me to Scott again:

Hi Scott,
that is what I think too...
http://maik63.bplaced.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=75&p=2744#p2742
I will do my best tomorrow by call with Moritz Brunnhofer.
That guy carcassebs - nobody knows him.
...
What I like to have is CarcC - nothing else.
(the only other is the German Carcassonne-Forum - but that is a special one.)
And when CarcC is successful again - then I ask Moritz if CarcC become the 2nd Link at their Homepage like the German Carcassonne-Forum.
Greetings
kettlefish

from Scott to me again:

I understand that people prefer to talk in their own language. That is why I repost news from HiG on Facebook in English. Fewer communities is best; people ask the same questions and it becomes more work to share knowledge. I appreciate that Moritz agrees with this.

I emailed Gantry that we need the new forums quickly and he said they would be ready soon. I hope that soon means tonight or tomorrow.
