I'm upset there wasn't warning, a reason given, or full control handed over. Even just one of those would have been nice.
Other than that I'm upset that I keep feeling dazed (unrelated to the site), like I'm always half asleep, buzzed, or had too much albuterol, so some wacky combination of the three. And no, coffee doesn't really help (though luckily it's not making it worse... maybe I just need more?).

Well, I think my annoyed as shit email got some attention, she's posted a link to the .net address for me at the very least. I'll be discussing a domain transfer(aka, recover fstdt.com for this site too) if she cares to change it over.

I have Asperger's, goddamnmit. What am I supposed to do while the new site goes up? I nearly had a heart attack when I thought FSTDT would be gone forever. No, really, Distind has done a hell of a job trying to get the new site up, so kudos to you. But I do have a few questions: 1. will there also still be RSTDT's and CTSTDT's?, and 2. will there be the old awards?

Will this fix that end-of-the-month bug?

The end-of-month-bug will be fixed in the new software. It was caused by a bug since February only has 28 days, and never got cleared up. The new coding already has that bug taken care of, Distind is just working on getting the database properly translated and connected to the new software.
I'm not positive on the RSTDT's and CTSTDT's, but I believe those sections are also staying intact and that there will be better format for making sure quotes are submitted to the right *STDT, including a way to vote for it being approved to one of those categories.
Awards I don't think are implemented yet, but last I knew it was being under consideration for how to handle them, as the old way of having to crawl through hundreds of quotes and their pages to figure out what was being voted for most just takes too many man-hours.

I'd like to see the old awards come back, but I can see how that would be asking too much.
What I would really like to see, though, are some more specific subcategories. Sometimes I get a hateful foaming-at-the-mouth nutjob quote to submit that doesn't explicitly say anything religious and is technically not fundie. So maybe, as many have suggested, RSTDT should be changed to Bigots Say The Darndest Things? Where else am I gonna put the gay-bashers, rape-apologists and such?

It doesn't have to be religious to be fundie. It happens that most fundies are religious, and use their religion to excuse their fundieness, but it isn't actually a requirement. For example, you could have an atheist who thinks the moon landing was faked, and ignores all evidence to the contrary; that would be fundie. Someone who bashes gays with foaming-at-the-mouth stupidity, but isn't really saying anything religious, is again fundie. Someone just saying they believe Jesus is the only way to salvation, while religious, isn't necessarily fundie.

I just noticed that when you mouseover a thread title on the temp forums, the text of the first post does not come up. It used to do that on the old forums. This makes me angry.

I'm angry that I have yet another cold (fourth one this season) and that I have a physics exam tomorrow (assuming that they plow out the roads today and we go to school), but all of that's unrelated to the site.
I got over my panic at the loss of the site yesterday, but I am a little irritated that we weren't given any warning at all. I thought I was going insane at cram school since I was worried I'd lose my favorite online community. Would it have been that difficult to at least say, "Hey, I'm shutting down the site on March 1st," or tell us WHY?

Well one thing that I (and others) mentioned, is maybe changing RSTDT to B(igots)STDT just so we have somewhere to stuff the sexist remarks. Or anything else that really isn't fundie or consperacy theory.
Just a thought.
I am a little pissed at the lack of notice though.

Yeah, I agree Lazy. And part of the reason I made this thread was so we could pool our knowledge while dissipating the anger and annoyance. Maybe Yahwehs actions will make sense later.

I'm fucking pissed because my school fucked me over for graduation and I'm half a world away and can't do anything about it! Not to mention that I cannot afford (nor do i want to) go back for another semester!
FUCK THEM!
