I always wanted there to be a General Grant, navy paint job, American flag on the top, 02 on the side (or a historically significant number). I think many years ago I'd seen something similar to that. A yin to the Lee's yang, so to speak.
I can't believe it. Someone took whole verbatim paragraphs from this piece I wrote, stuck it into another story "In Memory of Rosco P. Coltrane" and tried to pass it all off as their own on FanFiction.net. I'm pretty peeved. I understand wanting to do a tribute to James Best, but it should be in their own words.
Well, apparently, the database crashed sometime after I posted this and I didn't notice it until today. I hope the forums weren't down for long. At any rate, I'm going to have to reschedule the upgrade as I spent a few hours just trying to the forums working again. Not exactly how I wanted to spend my Saturday. LOL.
I may attempt to upgrade the forums to the 4.0+ version this weekend. If it doesn't work, I'll roll it back to the current version. So, if by Sunday, things haven't changed, you'll know it went as well as Rosco trying to perform the same jump the Duke boys did.
For anybody that doesn't know, Sonny has a website run by his manager Scott Dickison: SonnyShroyer.com He also has a Facebook page, so swing by and Like it if you're on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SonnyShroyerOfficialPage
On June 6th &7th, John, Tom, Rick, Sonny, and Tom Sarmento will be at the Fleetwood Country Cruize-In in London, Ontario, Canada. Check out the website for more info: http://www.fleetwoodcountrycruizein.com/
Yes, all warning points will be torn up if you perform a free concert at the Boar's Nest. If you have no musical talent, you can wash dishes in the back.
Welcome! I hope you will continue to participate. I understood your English just fine and we have many members here from around the world that speak many different languages. James Best was my favorite too. I love Rosco, if you couldn't tell.
So, here's a question: What other character would you have liked to see get the Jekyll and Hyde treatment? I, for one, would have loved to see it with Rosco.
LOL, Rog! Since I'm pretty easy going, you'd have to get in a mess of trouble before I started handing out warning points. It's mostly for bad language, insulting people (maliciously, not friendly banter), and general un-Duke-like behavior.
Well, the upgrade didn't go well. There are still some issues that will keep me from upgrading to the current version. I'll wait until the next version comes out and try again. I have no idea when that will be.
I will be upgrading the forums to 4.0 sometime this week, hopefully today. The forums will be locked during the upgrade. I'm not sure how long it will take, so I'll say at least overnight.
One of the little projects I'm working on for the new forums is a Dukes of Hazzard Anniversary calendar that will display notable events in the Dukes history, like debuts of certain episodes, birthdays of the cast & crew, etc. If any of you have ideas pertaining to this project, feel free to post about them here. I have lots of fun stuff in the works and this is just one of them!
Most of the problems with sigs had to do with accounts that had images. I think most of the regulars came through unscathed, but I know there are some accounts with sig problems. I think most avatars came through ok too. There are a few little quirks I'm finding here and there and fixing them as I go along. If any of you find any issues, let me know in this thread. One new cool feature is that you can see a notice on the chat tab in the forum navigation bar that shows how many people are in the chatroom. Pretty neat. Hopefully that wil get people using it more. If we get to the point where we regularly have more than 5 people wanting to use it, I'll upgrade to a larger room.
