Empress Keiko Posted November 17, 2006 Posted November 17, 2006 Okay, you guys took dow turmy alert. Now I want to know, is it ever coming back? it was really helpful when we had it. And if we aren't going to ever use it again, why keep the button up there? It gets all dusty...with cobwebs and all... Thank you! ~Keiko
Meeptroid Posted November 17, 2006 Posted November 17, 2006 I miss it too. I remember when I was one of those alert people.
Mike. Posted November 17, 2006 Posted November 17, 2006 I highly doubt it is coming back. It was abused way too much, those certain people ruined it for the rest of you. But I will keep this topic open until Ian comes back or someone with a final answer comes.
Empress Keiko Posted November 17, 2006 Author Posted November 17, 2006 :crying: Well that sucks... BAD people who abused it! *slaps with fines for being evil* Maybe Ian will come out of the shadows and tell me the answer to the beautiful Turmy alert!
Anime Posted November 17, 2006 Posted November 17, 2006 Isn't that still broken? I though Ian was recoding it for v6....
Empress Keiko Posted November 17, 2006 Author Posted November 17, 2006 That sounds nice! Maybe people wouldn't be abusing it! YAY! (when is v6 coming out?)
Strategos Posted November 17, 2006 Posted November 17, 2006 Hopefully soon. But it'll only be soon, though, if we FIND Ian.
Ellie_Penguin Posted November 17, 2006 Posted November 17, 2006 well, we find Ian maybe he'll bring a surprise back :D and I do miss the turmy alert, as well!
The Big Cheese Posted November 17, 2006 Posted November 17, 2006 He may put it back, but maybe only a few trusted people would be able to use it... ie everyone with over 100 posts or something.
Matt Posted November 17, 2006 Posted November 17, 2006 I thought it was fine before. That was, from a moderator of the alerts point of view. I like banning people for it! Heheheh...
.Dan. Posted November 18, 2006 Posted November 18, 2006 Yeah,and I remember an idiot kept spamming the Shoutbox warning n00bs about misusuing it. Shameful behaviour that was, coming from a mod.
Mike. Posted November 18, 2006 Posted November 18, 2006 Eh? A mod did that? PM me about, can't break the rules, right? Anyways. I got mad the first few times it was false alarmed. So I hate it. xD

.Dan. Posted November 18, 2006 Posted November 18, 2006 Wait, it was ages ago,and that person got dealt with...dude,am I the only one who remembered the 24-hour mod?
The Big Cheese Posted November 18, 2006 Posted November 18, 2006 I know it happened, I don't remember who it was though...
Matt Posted November 18, 2006 Posted November 18, 2006 Same. I don't see why we can't put it back up, though. It was neat. :) Now my Web2messenger is going to be back up soon, you can prod me if no mod is on at that time. But it needs to be up again first. :P
Samuel Posted November 19, 2006 Posted November 19, 2006 I'm now in a position to give an official, staff response to this: No :( Unfortunately, it was subject to a lot of abuse. Despite big red warnings not to do it, people still set it off, causing mayhem. Carnage. Whilst we'll look into other ways of providing the service, we won't be doing it any time soon. We'll look into it in a little more detail upon the release of V6. Thanks :) (Oh, and remember: if Turmy IS awake, then link to it and scream in the shoutbox :))
