Shaorin Posted September 16, 2011 Posted September 16, 2011 in all the time i've been on this forum so far, i honestly don't recall catching MW's co-founder Shawn hanging around here even once. anyone privy to why he does not seem active in at least this end of the MACROSS fan community any longer?

Loop Posted September 17, 2011 Posted September 17, 2011 Maybe he handles the technical aspect of the forum? I have no Idea...... Quote
EXO Posted September 17, 2011 Posted September 17, 2011 All this time I thought people were saying "Shonen Graham's MacrossWorld". Quote

taksraven Posted September 18, 2011 Posted September 18, 2011 http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showuser=10 Suffice to say, Shawn's still around, he's just not interested in talking with any of us. I can understand that...... Quote
BeyondTheGrave Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 That or he's like the shadow broker. Or a sentient computer program. Quote
Renato Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 Shawn's a cool guy, but from what I know he's really busy and he doesn't have as much interest in the newer animated stuff as in the old-school, original Macross show and merchandise, so it's understandable he would not post about that. That said, I think I did see quite a recent post of his commenting on some photos of vintage items in the Collector's forum. Most importantly, he's the one paying the bills for all of this. Quote

anime52k8 Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 Shawn is like the wind, the hand of god, Skull and bones; quietly working in the shadows for generations. Guiding and shaping Global events and our daily lives in order to make the (macross)world a better place for you and I. You may not understand his methods but everything he does is for the greater good. Quote

Hoptimus Posted September 29, 2011 Posted September 29, 2011 Man. I miss my talks with Shawn. Awesome guy and it is great that we still have this site!! Quote
David Hingtgen Posted September 30, 2011 Posted September 30, 2011 The short version is---he still pays the bills (which are considerable) for this site---if he stopped caring (and paying), the site would be gone quickly. (and above all else, that is why the site is moderated the way it is---it is still his place, he pays for it, so it's run the way he wants it to be) Quote
regult Posted October 1, 2011 Posted October 1, 2011 probably we should all take the chance to thank him! Quote
VFTF1 Posted October 3, 2011 Posted October 3, 2011 probably we should all take the chance to thank him! Yeah - that's what I thought too :-) Awesome forum, awesome website. Brings together so many cool people and so much anime goodness!! :-) Pete Quote
David Hingtgen Posted October 11, 2011 Posted October 11, 2011 Shawn is currently updating the database/forums etc. I just turned the forums back online to see if it's stable and whatnot. Current skin is only temporary, we'll get it back to "standard MW colors" as soon as we get all the bugs worked out. Quote
Kicker773 Posted October 11, 2011 Posted October 11, 2011 ok.. glad it will be sort of back to normal. the new options are nice but its making it more confusing for me lol Quote
EXO Posted October 11, 2011 Posted October 11, 2011 I keep clicking on member's profile thinking it's the last post in the thread. Quote
Major Focker Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 i'm missing the thread links which take you to the last page, and there are no other skin options when i click on the change theme button. or am i doing something wrong? or perhaps we have yet to see an updated MW skin which hopefully retains most of the previous functionality? Quote
frothymug Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 They're still making changes to the board. If you want to go to the last unread post, the button is to the left of the thread title. Quote
Major Focker Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 ah, thanks. so that's what that star thingie was for Quote
azrael Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 We're still working on updating the general skin (not the mobile skin). Quote
frothymug Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 Right now, the star means there's new posts AND you've posted in that thread. It'll just be a circle if there are new posts only. Quote
Dynaman Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 I got to the forum by accident, clicking on the "MW Forums" image brings up the "we got work to do image". I clicked on the main menu image at the top of the screen and go here. Is that just me? Quote
anime52k8 Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 (edited) I got in via the MW con 2010 link. by the looks of it stuff is still kind of broken. Edited October 14, 2011 by anime52k8 Quote
EXO Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 Yup... upgrade is not done. Shawn will try to do some more stuff on the weekend is my guess. No promises that it'll be done by then either. Slowly but surely my friends. Quote
Dynaman Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 Regular link worked this time. I like the new look of the forums as well. Quote
Marzan Posted October 15, 2011 Posted October 15, 2011 Thanks to all the those who take the time to upgrade and improve these forums. And an extra special thanks to Shawn for making it all possible. Quote
