@stwd4nder2 Eric's quite well known and liked, I never had any doubt. He's now reached the initial target with a few days to go to raise some funds beyond it!

Those are some long episodes for Stranger Things. It's a "strange thing" they're doing with this season.
Was almost worried they wouldn't meet the goal. Glad to see that it will be fully restored.
Eric is a crowd-funding genius. 240 bucks to go - anyone interested hop on Kickstarter - Kong of the Kingo 1929, the world's first cinematic serial with sound (watch the video he explains what it is): https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/162...5mm-serial
I'm divided as to whether I watch it now and then have to endure the 5 week wait for the last 2 episodes or wait 5 weeks and watch it all over a weekend.
Looks like another great Mission Impossible. Wish it were this year but still some good flicks coming this summer.

I won't be adding any plugins like that, because frankly, it's going overboard. For the same reason I won't be requiring changing the password every 90 days etc.
The plugin migrates the passwords on relogin, but at the same time, all old hashes were also migrated. So depending on when you logged in to the forum, it will be either new_hash(your password), or new_hash(old_hash(your_password)). Either way, much more secure
Will people need to change their password to take advantage of that, or does it create a newly salted hash on a new login? If possible you should add an extension to check the passwords against a breached password database on registration, password change, and login (e.g. HaveIBeenPwned) as well.
I have installed a plugin for better password hashing (better security) on the forum. The change should be completely transparent to users, but if you experience any errors with the forum - including, but not limited to, logging in and registering, please e-mail me at admin@fanrestore.com

I can get you the french track from the R1 DVD, assuming the copy at my library isn't scratched to shit
Don't suppose anyone has any non English language tracks for the Theatrical Cut of Troy? There are French and German tracks on certain DVDs for sure.

I've had a few things going on in my life since the start of this year so I've not been visiting here much since "the event." I tried to log in a few days ago and was worried that this wonderful site had disappeared. So relieved to find it back again today. And I can use the ShoutBox again! Huzzah! Hoping I'll be able to get back on top of some of my projects soon.
Nah, this place won't die. 
Having a way to notify everyone, isn't a bad idea though.

Feallan is right, with discord or IRC most of the conversation would just move to a chat and kill the forum with its useful information. I'd settle for a system that allows admin or moderators to send email alerts in case something big happens and many members wouldn't know what's going on. I hear mailchimp and similar services can be useful and are free within limits that are compatible with the number of members here and the frequency of such events.
I'm not sure about Discord, I would rather not shift any discussion from the forum, since we have the shoutbox. Maybe some announcement only channel, but then it would require people to have an account there and bookmark it. I think I'll look into some mass mailing solution (can't use the forum feature, if forum is down)
Depending on the purpose discord is superior to irc... IRC is just a live text chat, while discord can be used for announcements, why not everyone has to catch right at the moment...
I'd prefer IRC over discord, but yeah having some kind of off-site comms could be very helpful if something bad happens
Quite a few on here have accounts on OT or the SW forums, but agree it may be best to have a backup way of contacting members. Glad that fanrestore is back!
I hear people use discord but I'm mentally too old for these things. I'll make myself a Fanrestore addressbook ;D
It's not going to for the foreseeable future, but even in that case something would definitely be set up, at the very least a way to exchange e-mails between members. But yeah, doing it yourself wouldn't hurt too
No problem, glad everything is back. Which reminds me that I probably wouldn't know how to keep in touch with 99% of you if the forum disappeared 
Also, they restored an earlier backup of the DB, I had to do it again with the correct one, so a couple shouts and a 1-post thread about a shoutbox issue (it should be fixed now, Hitcher) are missing. Sorry guys, and thanks to Evit for noticing something was wrong
Okay, everything should be up and running. My hosting provider had some sort of a malfunction on Friday evening, and strangely, even though the helpdesk should work 24/7, they were only able to fix it on Monday morning... Please let me know if anything is missing/not working on the forum
Seem Bruce Willis is retiring for serious medical reasons. The rumors of him doing all those crap films to provide for his family seem to be true.
GF1 has some analog noise and low volume, while GF2 is pretty clean and clear with low volume, a pretty easy fix, so no LD syncing is necessary IMO, both films' LD come from the same dupey master, and much detail isn't there at all, probably due to NR (They are pretty clean sounding)
Moshrom has a new post on Blah Ray about The Godfather audio. Seems the LDs are unimpressive.
They're not in sync, the new Paramount logo is gone, and so are the restoration credits. I do however find that the Bluray mono sounds better than the LD, less dupey, even after doing some cleanup work, which Paramount didn't seem to do
Are the UHD Godfather in sync with the old Blu-ray discs? Cos I wanna know if we must resync or not the LD rips.
Don't suppose anyone has the Region 1 DVD of Executive Decision they could rip? The uncut version?

Oh damn I only just watched ST:TMP last weekend, blown away by how beautiful it looked.

I am mot even seeing the updated logo, neither on my phone nor desktop. I tried changing the theme and it's still the old one
#2 was also the best to me greater but now that this one is in place I start to really like it
Yeah I only found out about ot when it was already over. Would be nice if the few people's vote that commented afterwards (me included) would had been considered as well. As in that case #2 would had won instead of #7
I think there wasn't enough time to vote, less than a week only while I'm sure most of us simply just don't have the free time to check every day...
Over 3000 members and only 35 votes, all it takes is one click or tap and your done. https://fanrestore.com/thread-4634.html
Crazy how that article spins it as a positive. Is there anyone not in China's pocket nowadays?
