Yup

I am. I'm not around there too much anymore, but I have had on/off periods of activity.

Ah cool, I thought it was you as you had a Harrison Ford avatar on both forums at the same time a while back.
Did you find FP through Atrium or Atrium through FP?

I actually use my Harrison Ford one on many forums. I have it synced through my Gmail. It's pretty sweet!

I found FP through @Cosmack's old forum (Feedback Exchange). I found Atrium after @Reverie invited me a year or so ago.

what about walking?

I walk into Dairy Queen D:

On average, do you take a little time to lurk around a forum before you join or do you signup straight away?

 

[John]

It depends on the forum. I normally join forums where I know the owner/admin.

That's how I am as well, though I've gone away from that a bit on here as I've joined a few communities after only speaking with the owners a couple of times. No regrets so far 😀

How long have you been a staff member on here?

I've been a staff member here about two and a half years. 🙂

@John That's awesome 😀
What would you say is your fondest memory here on FP?

At your pace, no time at all. haha

I actually have two very strong memories that I'll never forget: the first was getting ETL after specifically working towards it. The second is when we moved to Xenforo and everything was organized chaos.

 

[TDK]

@John Where was FP before Xenforo?

 

[John]

We were on phpBB. 🙂

 

[TDK]

@John What triggered the switch?

 

[John]

phpBB was a very inefficient forum software for our needs. Things like likes, certain mod tools, and various admin features were unavailable. The release of phpBB 3.2 didn't help, since we would've had to convert fairly soon anyway.

Was it a difficult process in transferring everything over, or was the transition behind the scenes done easily and efficiently?

It was a nightmare. .

Uhoh How long before everything was settled once again?
