Here’s where we are:
- Make our avmans (This was to make more than the one we started out with). Done.
- Message the GPs with the plan (See, they kept some secrets 🙂 ) Done.
- Clear the cluster (This happens tomorrow morning) Done.
- Rebuild the legacy tables (This is scripted, but deploying resources might take a while) Done.
- Increase max pending invitations to 50 or 100 Done.
- Reinvite all the GPs – Later this week for sure Done.
- Message them to re-register Done.
- Look for any new troubles In Progress.
I am so There

#4 by mimi06 on 2011.08.06 - 9:55 am
Brandy, of course you will get back in, (if your over 18), WHEN Thererepens. Some of the posts your seeing are those from “testers”, Nothing is up and running as of yet. Stay tuned 🙂

‘sad no invite for me, and even though ccr_gina was not a beta and I would not expect an invite for her, i received a request to join the yahoo ccr hosting group. very interesting, indeed.
#8 by Basya on 2011.08.05 - 11:28 am
Count me in, Emma! Once we get back into world and you begin to hold the CCR’s, I will join in!
Cya in There!

#9 by superdale on 2011.08.05 - 8:32 am
open open open. i like to get a invite to come my way. the wait is killin me.
#10 by mimi06 on 2011.08.05 - 2:33 am
GP, mimi here. Ok, so after “thinking”, I didn’t get the reinvite email for Beta testing again, I went digging. Low and behold google decided that EVERYTHING from There, was either junk, or spam :O.. after looking thru piles of junk there was my rejoin invite. So, here’s where I am now. Reregistered, and reinstalled THEREIM. Tweaked it a bit with the info I was given, retrieved my old password, with the “secret question”. And now here I am back in THEREIM with all the other noob GP’s. rofl.. we are back to wearing noob clothes, have nothing much to speak of, no tbuxs, no inventory to browse thru yet. I can access my profile, some are even remaking their groups, altho I won’t touch anything UNTIL, I get into world rofl..(I have a tendancy to mess things up when playing with buttons) lol.. so we are ALMOST an so close to being THERE! BTW, I even got an email of congratulations for a bronze pass! haha will post more later. 🙂
#11 by calliekitty on 2011.08.05 - 9:37 am
Mimi,
It still sounds like fun to be able to be part of the testing group, I remember helping out with that in the past! I can’t wait TO COME AND PLAY IN THERE.COM with all my There.com pals!!!
#12 by James White on 2011.08.05 - 11:50 am
did you actually manage to claim all your things back? I have tons of buggies in an avatar which i wouldnt want to lose 😦
#13 by mimi06 on 2011.08.06 - 2:21 am
to james. As of very late last night, we still don’t have our clothes, but to ease your mind, during the last testing before we had to start over, I went over tho my profile an did a transaction search :O everything I owned was there. Including ELVIS :O my hound dog. rofl.. At this point, THEREIM is running smoothly for me. Altho you may want to read other posts about the email issues. Pretty sure James if you remembr all your personal info, then at log in time you WILL have all your possessions in time..
to callie: I feel honored and have learned so much, these guys are pro’s and know their stuff.. I have learned so much from this experience! hugs callie, see you soon!

#31 by jimony on 2011.08.05 - 8:50 am
LOL
I wonder if her daddy uses her name to get into the G rated movies. LOL
That was just funny. A lot of kids just don’t get the concept of consequences.
#32 by Deleight on 2011.08.05 - 4:12 pm
lol I’m pretty sure it was a boy, but yeah no concept at all. I found that quote from the blog and he was still confident he can get into There without consequences. ‘sigh

I am up there with MidniteMoon! Was an original Beta tester and was a part of There till it closed. I have moved a zillion states away and have a different email provider now. If we have to know our old addy and verify through that… what recourse will we have if we no longer have that email addy?
Awesome work to all of you folks… both those doing all of this work for our world, and those few that are helping test… my hat is off to all of you!! Thank you!!

Hello Mister Wilson , the Name of my Avie is : Vallerstevie . I and my Avie are German . I cant understand the Problems . I hope i must not beginn as Newbie , when it so , than i will believe in Second Life . When i becames my Vallerstevie back , than i am afraid to came back. It is not a Problem to Pay 10 $ this are 6,70 € . Yours Sincerelly Vallerstevie ( Sorry for my bad English , i am German )
#54 by softNdark on 2011.08.04 - 11:15 pm
Hey… if you are asking Michael Wilson about your old Avatar was the name “Vallerstevie” they when everything is ready. (maybe a week or so) Mr Wilson says will sign in with old avatar name & password. If you forgot password, you request it be reset or something. You will NOT be able to sign in right now they are still TESTING with just a few people. I think Q & A has a lot of information. We will get back most if not all of our inventory. Mr Wilson is a Very Fair Man.
Hope this will help you. So someone can help my friends (smile)
~PEACE~
