Can I get an update on the progress of this conversion?  I need to present in front of the board in 25 min.

We're currently waiting for Daniel's response to a question about DNS management - fairly mundane stuff. We asked it 3 weeks ago, then 1 week ago Daniel responded acting as if he never received the question (saying that he's ready to proceed if we are, etc), so we re-sent it.

But we're not wasting time on anything, unless you count the maybe 20 minutes we spent writing e-mails. It's not like this site is shut down or put on hold while we talk about things. It's business as usual, and if we manage to reach a conclusion, all that will happen is us importing all of their posts and members here.

Thank you for your response, Pizzaplanet.  Have you entertained the idea that Daniel may not know the answer to your query and as a result is avoiding sending a reply?

Well, a large part of the question is whether or not he'd let us manage the DNS, in full or partially. We can't really proceed before we have these sort of details sorted out, since our approach to things will vary greatly depending on the response.

Update: we got a response. We will have to reach some sort of compromise when it comes to DNS management (of the theflatearthsociety.org domain). This really shouldn't affect anything. We should be able to reach a sensible balance, and if worse comes to worst we can always use tfes.org as a fallback.

I think this is the last of technical details that need to be discussed. We'll probably move on to organisational stuff once we reach a final agreement on that bit. Shouldn't be much longer before we're ready for final consultation/voting!

Banning the word "nigger" would be a dealbreaker for me, and as far as I know, for Parsifal too.

Have you agreed on this yet? There is no point in pushing on with technicalities when deal breakers still hang in the air.

Our proposal is to use the current set of rules of tfes.org with the possibility of minor tweaks if those become necessary1. Daniel admitted that he finds it difficult to find the balance between overmoderation and undermoderation, and we have his concession to carry on with our moderation and administration team/approach pretty much as-is. One condition on his side is that he gets to still be an admin as a preventive/emergency measure, but he has no intention to interfere with how things are managed. So yeah, this is as good as agreed.

1 - I genuinely can't think of any tweaks right now. It's likely that none will happen. I just don't want to promise that because I expect that a larger influx of noobs may pose some new challenges.

How's this going?  Haven't had an update in over a month.
If you are going to DebOOonK an expert then you have to at least provide a source with credentials of equal or greater relevance. Even then, it merely shows that some experts disagree with each other.

I think this was partly my fault. Daniel had sent me an email asking about some stuff, and I took a while to respond, which probably slowed things down a bit. My bad etc.
