brett5150 Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 (edited) http://forums.g4tv.com/messageview.cfm?cat...threadid=466445So, some drama today, huh?I know a lot of you guys are confused and a lot of you guys are pissed, and a lot of you guys are both. Obviously there's been some misinformation going around and I thought it'd be a good idea to help clear some of it up. So, here we go:It was posted in the Maintenance board (a forum for moderators and admins to coordinate) that we'd be making some changes to the boards today. You guys can see the results of those changes by looking around the forums. Basically we've tried to streamline everything and get rid of redundant boards. So, since we knew we were getting Call For Help, the Tech Support forum should just be renamed to reflect that, which is what happened.Unfortunately, when that message got sent out to moderators, it wasn't complete. It wasn't any kind of malicious act, it's just a "whoops, forgot to type that part" kind of deal. Then, even more unfortunately, someone decided to make that confidential and incomplete information public, and now we're seeing the fallout from that.So, here's where we are now:The Tech Support board has become the Call For Help board, as has always been the plan.Call For Help, along with Robot Wars, Future Fighting Machines, and Nerd Nation are going to start airing on G4 in the USA at the end of this month! (August 29th, I think. Keep an eye on the online schedule) Judging from the tons of email and PMs I've gotten about wanting the show back in the states, I'm guessing that's got to make some people happy. And yes, Call For Help will be NEW episodes.And that's it. Enjoy the tech! Edited August 21, 2005 by brett5150 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Besttechie Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 Hi Everyone,I'm sorry, but I don't buy this one bit.Unfortunately, when that message got sent out to moderators, it wasn't complete. It wasn't any kind of malicious act, it's just a "whoops, forgot to type that part" kind of deal. Then, even more unfortunately, someone decided to make that confidential and incomplete information public, and now we're seeing the fallout from that.If you're running ANY site, and are making MAJOR changes, those things should be proofed and approved, before being posted. That is unacceptable. B Quote Link to post Share on other sites
