The Great Tree

I personally don't have a problem with it. Nothing is official anyway. And I know from personal experience...when an opportunity comes along to learn something by doing it, you should do it.

I am not a shard hopper. I stick with Tapestry and EricL's efforts. This is mostly a time factor. I simply don't have enough time to duplicate my efforts on other shards. Having said that, however, I would have no problem jumping on the Great Tree shard every now and again to help put it through its paces.

Like the Professor I have no problem with it either. Go for it Ashtar.

I don't have a problem with you using The Great Tree name for the shard, Ashtar...

And I think it's fantastic that you will be running the H'uru server code so the UU community can experience The Path of the Shell online with friends!

Please let me know if I can be of any assistance... Wink

You go dude... let us know when you're ready to give your server a stress test... I'm sure we can assist. Laughing

Thanks for your support eveyone! I'm currently in the process of setting up the server and hope to have it online by this weekend. All I have to do is to learn how to think in Linux again Smile

Sounds like a great idea. On top of that, I imagine it could even provide a true "headquarters" for GT, or a place to meet.

The only thing I am worried about is whether there can be too many shards running. Makes it hard to keep track of who is where. Razz

In regards to that, I'm surprised no one has compiled a hub for all of the shards running through HTML code the names/KI/locations of all of the players throughout UU. I have a favorites list of each shard, but having one source would be pretty cool IMO. Maybe a mini-project to consider... Hmm...

A hub is an excellent idea.........excellent.

Okay, here's the Professor showing his ignorance yet again. I've seen "Bump" before in other forums and never really knew what it meant. So......

being somewhat of a forum n00b myself, I'll be happy to share my theroy on "Bump":

I beleive it to be a "nothing" post meant to bring a thread back up to the top of a list of threads.

This is not to be confused with a "necropost" which is basically a bump that brings a thread from 37 or so pages down in the list of threads back to the top... raising a dead thread to the top.

"dead thread"... heh... I'm a rhymer all the time... er.

Please, feel free to slap me if I'm wrong.

You're not wrong CuzinJohn, although I'd like to point out that a necropost is a subcategory of bump, and not a different thing entirely. It is, however, usually frowned upon, whereas less extreme bumps are not.
