In the midst of the RCTOlympics (which are already a week late), while we're still checking to see if there's anything posted yet about the final events, it now appears the old Olympic topics weren't even moved and now we have to spend the time to re-registar???

(Wagi walks away shaking his head in disbelief...)

The old forums are up for viewing until the Olympics are offline, as you can see by clicking the forums link from the Olympics Official website.

These forums have been in the works for well over a month, as you can tell by some of the posts on them, so it's not like we put them ahead of the Olympics.

The Olympics, I will state again as it seems I must do so on every site, were postponed until tommorow due to an extended vacation my family took that I had absolutely 0 control over.

And while the Olympics are a huge event, the Olympics and RCT Resource are two different things, and yes, I happen to put my personal life ahead of this community as every person should, and I put RCT Resource ahead of the Olympics.

As for re-registering, do if you want, dont if you dont. It was the only way we could get the new boards without carrying over some pretty bad errors on our old forums, so we did it.

Yep, but for view only, no one is allowed to post except on the new forums.

And to post one must re-registar for the new site...

I finally tracked down that the goals for the final two events are in fact posted on the NEW Olympic forums (at the link above). Since there was no new due date included in the post, nor was the information on where to send the entry and any specific information on how it's to be sent posted there, I went back to the OLD Olympics forums, got some of the answers, but still don't know when it's due for sure since it was delayed. Went back to the NEW forums to ask about the due date but I have to re-registar with RCT Resource before I can post a question in the Olympic's forum... Wish the Olympics Committee would straighten all this out...

(Edited by Spunknit) go to http://www.rctolympics.com, look at the top of the website, and see the e-mail address you are to send ALL entries to (rctolympics@gmail.com) which has been posted there for over a month.

If you want the due dates, why not click "Event Guide" on the Olympic Website, and see the updated guide with the new due dates.

As for you re-registering, we aren't even making you validate your e-mail address to re-register, which means it wont take you 5 seconds (edited by Spunknit).

I own and operate a website. It is my duties as webmaster to see to it my website prospers, and this forum swap shouldn't be as big a deal. You need to look at ancient history, go look on the old forums, want to get updates, go to the new ones. And really, you can find most of everything on the RCT Olympics website. But no, I'm not going to allow posting on the old forums because I want my new ones to grow, which means enforcing that you may only post on the new ones.

(Edited by Spunknit) because RCT*Mart and RCT2.com are built almost soley on forums, doesn't mean that's all other site's are focused on (not that there's anything wrong with that). I spent a whole week making the RCT Olympics actual website, and then 3 days getting the content set up for it and published, I didn't do it for no reason.

(Edited by Spunknit)

Also, look in those posts, it does tell you how to send them, it has since yesterday. One specifies either type the article into the e-mail or into a notepad (.txt) file, and the other one doesn't specify, which means you should follow routine and send your entries in by an attachment to an e-mail.

Finally, I'm sorry ride exchanger for not posting a link, it's http://www.rctresource.com/forums However, that link too is up on the RCT Olympics.com official site.

(Please keep your posts polite. Any issues with individual members can be discussed in a private message. Thank you. ~Spunknit)

Thanks so much for your friendly reply OJ! I see that indeed the events guide has now been updated. I guess us non-sensible types just like things laid out plainly and without having to search for it. You're right, I could have found almost everything on the Olympic's website. Except of course the information on the last two events. I'm glad you took the time to set me straight in such a friendly manner.

I'm not sure who is telling you how to run your website, but with your warm, friendly manner I know you'll continue to be a success, and I'm also sure there's no need for anyone to donate any kidneys anytime soon!

Again, this sensible bear thanks you for your reply!
