You could probably leave it in permanently, if you want to that is...

PS: No probs here Chris, what you getting when you try to migrate?

Same problem as Jas, some twat has the bw account 'raw' so im fucked, i can pretty much be sure in knowing the guy that uses it has never touched the bw forums in his life, fucking stupid to be totaly honest.

 

[xenon2000]

Ummm... the account name doesn't have to be the same as the forum alias does it?

My acount login is xenesia... I got the option to change my forum alias to that but I re-entered xenon2000 as that's how Im known here, simple.

 

[old.Jas]

Embattle had the right idea -

I reckon they should of cleaned up the BW member list before doing this chamge.

Why don't they purge the membership DB just like they did the hosted stuff? Everyone that hasn't logged in in the last year maybe?

No - but you can't have the same forum alias as a BW account alias. For example - someone has the BW alias of Jas - hence why I can't have the forum alias Jas

 

[xenon2000]

Ah, I see...

How about [BW]Jassy_boy20*2k2

 

[old.Jas]

I'm going to stick with old.Jas until BW top brass take note of my plight. I may have this nick for some time...

 

[Shocko]

I may remain a Penge resident for some time, untill someone takes note of my plight and gives me back the posts from my old account

 

[old.Kez]

It was always a totally queer idea. Is anyone actually surprised its riddled with comlpications?

I refuse to migrate, I'll use the eventual deletion of my account as an excuse to vanish properly, rather than just the infrequent visitations it is now.

 

[bodhi]

Barrysworld management coming up with a queer idea? I refuse to believe that! Every time I have run into them they have been the most heterosexual people I have ever encountered!

n o 0 O 0 o b ! !

 

[ReActor]

I don't see why anyone gives a fuck about this.

 

[old.Jas]

Maybe because you have your rightful nick?

 

[Shocko]

And your rightful account?

 

[ReActor]

What's in a name?

 

[old.Jas]

Well... if they arn't using it

 

[Summo]

I had assumed that all the usernames had the old. tag in front so that down the line BW top brass could just remove all the supposed unused accounts. On the 'choose forum alias' page it specifically says not to create an account with old. in it.

If I were you I'd just rename yer account, fellas otherwise you'll all be in Shocko's unfortunate situation. *snigger*

 

[old.Jas]

Unhappy support form request has been submitted. If I'm lucky then another Jas will be wondering wtf has happened next time he trys to dial up or use his email

migrated or not, it was a queer idea full stop.

cleaning out the player db might help some of us with these problems but in all honesty i dont see what its actualy achieved appart from linking of accounts and conning more people into signing up for a bw account rather than just forums.

such as ??

Make it a good reply btw everytime i refresh a page im knocking valuable seconds & speed off my warcraft3 download

 

[Shocko]

Well, i think it's a good idea, i just think they did it teh wrong way.

They should have kept the DataBases seperate, but made the forum's one editable from the main page, and then after a week or 2, merged them, that way i wouldn't have deleted my account
