Campaign Discussion / Re: A 2S Campaign?

Regarding people who collect multiple armies - you should pick a side to join, but that shouldn't necessarily mean you can't earn points by playing with the other army, or e.g. writing articles for races on the other side. Maybe you'd earn less points for doing this though? I guess for articles, you're essentially stopping someone on the other side writing about the same thing, so essentially 'stealing' points. Possibly a viable tactic...

Past Contests / Troops Contest [RULES]
« on: June 24, 2012, 12:06:05 AM »
Contests have been on hold for a couple of months, but we're back, and best of all, it's with a forum favourite - the Troops contest. Forming the core of the Force Organisation Chart, Troops make up the bulk of any army, whether it's a squad of Marines or a swarm of gaunts. We know you have them - everyone has them - so now's your chance to show them off.
As an additional bonus, to make up for the fact that we've been away for so long, all entrants get an automatic karma point. So what are you waiting for?!
This contest is open to a single Troops unit.
Dates:
Prizes:
1st Place - 10pts
2nd Place - 5pts
3rd Place - 2pts
(The top 3 all receive official 2S winners seals as well).

Official Announcements / Re: Feature requests and bugs

I'm on the forum default.

Also I'm still in favour of a restore to back-up from a few months ago before all the threads from the last year got spread across the forum...this would be really beneficial to everyone...It would be possible (in theory) to revert back around 5 months if FT still have the backup. More recent topics could be restored across.
However, it would likely have problems in itself in that it would involve a day or two of downtime (for some reason restoring SQL files brings the server to a crawl) and might not even work.
As an idea, maybe it would be possible to restore an old copy of the messages and topics table. Then, once that was up, I could mirror all of the recent posts/topics over to that table and delete our old table. Would take a week or few of uploading the old database I would think but the downtime would be minimal. It sounds good in theory but I've no idea if it would actually work.
I guess up to you on this one. I think downtime would be a small price to pay to get everything working again, but at the same time we don't want to break things even more!
