BIG UPDATE REMINDER: Please read in full and help out - "Loverboy" Vinnie Lane - 09-13-2015
As a reminder to everyone, in a few days we're going to be shutting the boards down temporarily while I work on giving our site a much needed and long overdue upgrade that is going to take a considerable amount of my time and effort. Â I want to make sure everyone has a chance to log on and see the results before I take down the boards, so I'm going to wait until WEDNESDAY NIGHT, 10pm board time (pst) to take them down. Â My guess is that the entire update process, followed by my having to rebuild a huge portion of the site from scratch (due to this major upgrade reverting a TON of our custom stuff to default and requiring all plugins/modifications to be reinstalled/tested) will take several days, possibly over a week. Â If all goes well, we'll return with an even better site than before and possibly with a new design.
I haven't been working as many hours lately, so this is a good time for me to put more of my personal time toward this. Â Things are very tight right now though, so if anyone would like to show their support with a donation, this is actually a time it would be very helpful and it would need to happen BEFORE I take the site down Wednesday night. Â There is even a small chance I will need to ask for paid assistance if this upgrade goes haywire like I've read about it doing to some people who try it on their own. Â Keep in mind if you don't have much $ to spare, even 5 or 10 bucks helps. Â Please don't avoid pitching in just because you think $5 or $10 isn't much... because it DOES help if multiple people are doing it, and if you're in a position to help much more than that, great, please do whatever you can. Â Here is the link: Â http://xwf99.com/announcements.php?aid=7
Perks: Â All donors can select a secondary avatar to add to their account if they wish, and they're also welcome to come to me with custom requests of ANY kind. Â If you have an idea for something cool you'd like to see happen as a thank you for your donation, ASK ME. Â The worst that can happen is I say it's not possible, but I'm willing to seriously consider all requests from donors. Â Thanks all!

Yew, what happens if I don't kick out before the boards go down? Will I have 12 hours from when they go back up?
Assuming I'm still champ by then.

He said it might take awhile to update this joint from the ground up; and who knows what shall happen within these hours in the Pacific times. So Steve, best you kick out now; and hope that none tries to pin you once more at all before the update.

I have a question, we will have to save our banners and stuff before the boards go down?

BIG UPDATE REMINDER: Please read in full and help out - Great Buzzard Eli James IV - 09-14-2015
All Championships will be Eli'd (vacated for those who don't know).
Shane will return with a big f-you and run with the millions of dollars that was donated to him.
Some of us will start a kickstarter to create XWF - REAL LIFE.
We'll have the first show where Shane lives.
After the show, Shane will drop shit on everyone and laugh because we actually did what his whole plan has been the entire time: create a real life XWF.
Then we'll all go drink some alcohol, except me.. I'll stick to Apple Juice or Lemonade.
At least this is how it's planning out in my head.

Yay! And I'll face everyone as Snail Feather. Because of my illnesses, I'll be as slow as a snail and as strong as a feather.
YEAH! I WENT THERE! WHO WANTS A PIECE OF SNAIL FEATHER, THE STROKEMAN!?

Did you just admit you were gay?
re:BIG UPDATE REMINDER: Please read in full and help out - Mr. Oz - 09-14-2015
If only Team Perfection didn't have a couple of assholes who were on the site and still did nothing, with Lux and Mav doing their promos, me getting fucked over out of two promos before Saturday, and TJ not being able to put a promo out, due multiple tests.
So, don't take the win as something to proud of. Our team had a huge black cloud over it
And there's nothing gay about a handjob, unless it's Peter receiving. Super gay then, for him.
BIG UPDATE REMINDER: Please read in full and help out - Peter Fn Gilmour - 09-14-2015
its not gay if maria brink is the one giving ME the handjob

Nice OOC insults Tank.
Trust me, no one was going to be proud of beating you. We are proud of the work we created.
You should probably apologize to those "assholes" since you didn't do any better than they did.
BIG UPDATE REMINDER: Please read in full and help out - Mister Mystery 17 31707 1 - 09-14-2015
Tank, did something stop you all week from posting anything? You were obviously on the boards and aware of the teams and matches; replying in other ic threads and whatnot a week ago. Just saying maybe you should take a look at how your own actions might have looked to the others on your team.
And Shane; be careful asking for donations.
haha We might get another case like when Mr. Radio came in making shitty comments about how only rich people need to donate but nobody else should have to. Hopefully today's roster doesn't have as many ignorant, unwilling pricks though.Reverend, your reply is a cop out. You didn't try. Children have more say in their parents' money than the parents do -- fact. If your parents have the choice between putting money toward some useless video game or toward a community that helps you improve as a writer, which would they choose? Everyone needs to step up regardless of age. This is 2015; everything requires money and everyone has a way to make it happen. I've done it. Not trying to sound like a dick but I know from past experiences here that a lot of people just shrug this shit off and take this site for granted, which is not cool.
Out of respect for Shane and the Fed, let's keep this thread on topic: the upcoming upgrade and stepping up to help.

The assholes in question are Rebecca Lewis, not sure who TJ's character is, so I can't say "Patrick Gordon or Iris"
Mav did great, as did Lux, I feel bad for TJ. The rest can go fuck off.

There was one thing that kept me from posting. So I was typing up what I decided to be the first promo. It was about to be finished, when my computer decided, "Hey man, you doing something? Yeah, fuck you." and I didn't get a chance to save everything. The other thing, Mav and I couldn't finish because of said computer problem. When I finally got it working, it was 1:30 p.m. CST on Sunday. I tried to get promos out and got fucked by my own shit. If non-TJ characters can say why they couldn't do promos, I'll no longer call them assholes, and I'd consider them okay, cause rl comes first, but if they have no excuses, then, wtf?
I fucking had plans. I was about to put out two promos, and work on a third. If my computer would give me a warning next time, I would have saved everything.

thus why I use a coaster or put my drinks AWAY from my laptop..
but I agree with Frodo (shocking I know).. GET BACK ON TOPIC!
BIG UPDATE REMINDER: Please read in full and help out - Maverick - 09-15-2015
Guys, let's calm down. It was my fault as much as the no- showers that we lost. I had a lack of communication established throughout my team, which did cost us somewhat. rl problems were just as bad on my team, and that will always come before XWF. I myself didn't go as hard as I wanted to, but I had fun all the same- which is what we should do while we're on here.
On a happier note, I do look forward to the new boards.

If by some chance something like that happens, I'd be sure to take all things into consideration to make it fair. I might lock the X-treme board tomorrow before we go down just to avoid any last minute pins that could cause confusion.
(09-14-2015, 07:05 AM)"Mr FN Dominance Said: I have a question, we will have to save our banners and stuff before the boards go down?
In theory, no. In reality, it's always safe to make back ups because nothing is a guarantee. The upgrade should NOT erase signatures or avatars, and I highly doubt they will be lost, but there's always room for unexpected glitches and mishaps at a time like this.
(09-14-2015, 08:46 AM)The Reverend Tholomew Plague Said: If I had a say in my parents money I would gladly donate
If you get a chance to do that, it would be much appreciated. So far since this thread, 1 person has donated. Definitely hoping for a couple more over the next 24 hours or so before I take the boards down and the donate button is gone. Thanks for whatever you can do.
Any other questions, please feel free to post here ASAP and I'll get to them before we shut down.
BIG UPDATE REMINDER: Please read in full and help out - "Loverboy" Vinnie Lane - 09-15-2015
I didn't mean you lol You're one of the 2 people on a recurring donation and I believe that came through earlier in the month, before this thread and had nothing to do with it. What I meant was that this thread caused 1 person to donate so far.
PS: I'm not Cis
