Just a heads up.

[Gamefreak]

I'm going to be making Tacheon an admin temporarily to help me figure out some stuff on the admin panel.  So, I'm posting this now to avoid questions later.

[Mysterious F.]

Just in time! We have a spam bot invasion that needs taken care of.

[Keaton]

working on it, sir.

[MagmarFire]

Sweet relief! Glad to hear our problem will be remedied shortly!

[Pale Dim]

Finally, some good news on this crisis.

[Twilight Wolf]

Tacheon will fix this spambot mess for sure. Just don't go too crazy with your new power, okay, Tach?

[Mysterious F.]

Shh! Don't give him ideas!

Anyway, Gamefreak, what will happen to the site when you can't get onfor a long amount of ime? How about whenever you don't log in for a three weeks, the site automatically gives admin powers to someone to take over when you're absent, like Mags?

Do you have the code for that?

That's pretty much not an option-- if he is going to be gone for an extended period of time, he'll promote someone (Mags) in advance.

[Mysterious F.]

I meant, like, he didn't plan on being gone that long, but his computer was broken or something and he couldn't get on.

It's a good basic idea, Whocares, but it sounds like it'd be a bit too complicated to implement. If he's really needed, as in a forum emergency, someone can contact Dr. Rabies and have him pass the message on to Gamefreak; then he'll find a way to get online.

Unless GF is away from his home, too.

If that happens, we can always contact....

Jack

We don't know how, and he rarely ever gets on.I had to call him on the phone last time (and got in trouble) in order to assign Gamefreak administrator.

How about we get kamikaziplumber to tell him? He would know how to contact Jack. Or we could just make his another administrator, too?

Yeah, there's that option, too. Of course, if Gamefreak's going to be gone for an extended period of time with no access to the forums, he could promote someone to Admin while he's gone, as has been suggested before.

Also, Whocares, there was talk of KP becoming an Admin before, and if I recall correctly, he himself was against it.

[Keaton]

Kamakaziplumber has also been appointed as a temporary administrator to help with the system update.

[kamakaziplumber]

Hooray!

I was against becoming an admin Twillight Wolf, but, a full admin, not a temp one to help with stuff like this. 'sall good.

I'll get to updating I suppose. I can see why there were problems: for some reason the Admin Center doesn't offer the upgrade link it's supposed to. Probably because we upgraded from YaBB SE. I will upgrade now.

The forums might be down for a bit while I do this. Fear not! It is only temporary...

EDIT:: Making a backup of the files before I do any upgrading.
