Quote from: BASS on Mar 08, 2023, 12:12 PMPage load times are really slow for me. Just me or anyone else having this problem?
Mine are fast.

Most of the time I'm waiting 10 to 30 seconds every time I click on anything.
Mine come up immediately. Very quick.
Well, shit...

Hi Guys! What's new?

Front door was locked but someone left a bedroom window up around back.

That is my impression

I think I get it now. This is hackerhog posting what elvishog said, maybe.

Quote from: AporkalypseNow on Mar 08, 2023, 12:48 PMYou and I have always gotten along well, and overall I'd say we both agree OQ and HRW are good dudes.  I realize E was politically opposite in alignment and the P&R board irritated him. Killing it would've led to some grumbling and it would be just fine. Killing off all that history...  man, that sucks.  Makes me wonder if the first coup was really more about E than the other guys.

I told someone the exact same thing about the coup.  I have messaged Steve multiple times about buying Woopig.net and getting the board back up.  Nothing. 

He clearly has guys running interference and helping blame it all on the two owners he gave the board to. 

It's all bullshit.

But killing the whole thing without warning?  Dick move.

Eh, it wasn't that.  Don't heap too much shit on good ole Steve.  He didn't kill the whole thing without warning.

Quote from: Sus-Scrofa on Mar 08, 2023, 12:46 PMAnother question.

Do we have the logo or was that lost in the carnage?

I think we have it and we might have a relatively complete backup. My main thing I was concerned about is getting the word out. I can think of a few regulars that I have no idea how to contact without that data. We are going to certainly have a more esthetically pleasing format with the same basic layout and features. Obviously open to any suggestions.

Mr. Man, as you are aware, I know damn near everyone.  LMK who you're looking for via dm or on discord and I MIGHT be able to find them.

Per Reddit woopig...Verotk said the new owner never did the work to migrate to a new server. Who the fuck bought the site from Elvis?
Yep. I'm not trying to be a dick about it. It could have lived. It didn't. Not by my choice. -Elvis

Tex as in TexZilla?  I think I have his mailing address.  I'll send him a postcard.   ;D

I have Texzilla's email. Will reach out to him.

West Texas Hog

I'm not sure how to get ahold of hogslobber.

SwahiliSteve

I feel like most people will see from twitter or Reddit that this site is up and running. I emailed a bunch of people and Rick b has as well. I'll go post at hogville so the fucks over there don't keep them

Who owns the domain woopig.net now?

Easiest way to get the word out is a redirect from the existing address.  Otherwise FB/Twitter will help.

Yes.  In theory that would be a great idea.  I believe Steve still does and has no desire to relinquish the ownership to it. 

I could be wrong but that's how I understood it.

So they tried to nuke the site because it was mean on the internet?

What next? Banning cigarettes for tasting like tobacco?

Screw it. I'm just going to be even meaner.

I think the woopig of 15 years ago was a whole lot more meaner than today. Remember when people were outed and addresses posted and then people died? And you think it's bad now? Oh sorry if I killed someone, sorry if Yelena threatened us with litigation and sorry our former posters like striker went to prison for posting

Got it, it was stated that OQ bought it.  If he did I would've assumed it was domain included.
