August 1st Release
 

Not sure how you'd answer this question with yes, no, or maybe, but:
What's being released?

Does it involve vb3?

nope.

Heh I could have answered that.

My question:

Is this no big deal thats just being overhyped and will lead to dissapointment when it is finally released?


Here i'll answer it too ;)


Yes :p

is ufh going to be controversial, with out the full truth being told in it?

whatever. pm me if you care.

Am I getting one?

Is DJ bitter because he doesn't know what is going on yet?

Will it really be out on Aug. 1? Like, on time? :D:D:D

It will happen the second it officially becomes Friday, EDT. The server controls when it starts.

I know that something's going to happen on the CD website. Is UFH (whatever it is) going to affect other FIRST websites (especially USFIRST.org) as well as CD?

Maybe.

Is it directly related to these forums?

Yes

Will CD be able to send out orders of Krispy Kream as a bribing measure to Dave Lavery so he can tell us the play early?

nope.

(who says that Dave Lavery knows?)

He knew last year....

Does this have to do with Indiana in any way?

(Mainly because the only people who seem to know are from Indiana):confused:

Nope. Just a coincidence.

Info leaked!!!

Gotta love that Brandon ;)

Maybe.

But that site doesn't really matter.

so far this link has led to:
a CD 404 page,
Yahoo.com,
motorola homepage,
pepsi homepage,
nasa homepage (kickin' rad flash intro),
delphi homepage,
autodesk homepage,
segway homepage,
and finally usfirst.org


can you say.....conspiracy?

only if it's spelled c-o-n-f-u-s-i-o-n. :D

Brandon Yes, no and maybe answers!

My answer to RogerR's question would be.

Yes i can say conspiracy...but what does that have to do with any of this?

i think i need a nap

Is there good cause for everyone to be so hyped up about this? Or will it be like the Titantic, and sink as soon as it leaves port? :p

yes.

no.

Please keep the rules in mind...each person is only supposed to get one question:)

Looking at the sites the ufh.php takes you to...
 

Does it have something to do with considerable parsing of the URLs everyone has in their profile/posts/sig?

Re: Looking at the sites the ufh.php takes you to...
 

nope :)

This is a question about asking questions, not Aug 1 itself, so...
 

Do those "in the know" reserve the right to provide false/misleading/etc. answers to any questions asked?

(Of course, how can i know 100% if the answer given to this is accurate?)

Re: This is a question about asking questions, not Aug 1 itself, so...
 

Nate, you are absolutely correct!
How can we trust anything that has been posted here?
I guess the only sure way of finding out what is coming is to... *gasp* wait and find out!!!

Seriously guys, you can't wait 3 days?
Technically, it'll be midnight on Thursday, so you only need to wait 2 days and 1 minute.

We have never guarenteed any accuracy to our information...all that was said was that questions would be answered:)

But as far as i know nothing in this thread has been inaccurate..

Or have we?
Trust no one...
*shifty eyes*

6 5 5
 

does it have anything to do with...well i asked a question allready!

I don't even pay attention to the forum anymore, and suddenly people IM me "what's happening on Aug 1st?". Then I got links to a thread with 1's and 0's... Then this page.

If whatever is supposed to be a secret, it must be a poorly guarded secret. I would go as far as to say the keepers of the secret have every intention to get as much attention as they can before revealing it. Probably one of the best PR methods you can use, just like Segway.

Anyway, have fun with this :). Great thing to bring some activities to the CD forum. Just be glad you have secrets you can tell people ;).

Now back to working Cal Games stuff... -_-!

Yes.

Though it wasn't a question...thats still my response.

Does it involve Columbian revolutionaries?

Ok, now I'm thinking out of the box, is Brandon going to be a daddy? ;)

forum gui overhaul?

no, none of my business and no

Definetly no.

I got the University of Michigan homepage... kinda funny to me, actually. Definitely misleading, I'd say.

And about the misleading answers, it's like one of those math problems. If five people are answering, and they can answer wrong, how do you know what is correct...?

Oh -- I have a small request.

Please don't kill the server on Thursday night. :)

It will come on EXACTLY at 12-Midnight.. no earlier, no later. So wait until midnight to look. There is no need to refresh like crazy for 20 minutes prior. You won't see anything.

Thanks,
Brandon

kinda like: 'if brandon says amanda is wrong and and amanda says josh is wrong and josh says brandon is right then who do you ask to find out what is happening on friday?':p

The midnight train arriving two days from now :rolleyes: (that one is for the circular reference you are all creating--infinite regress without words!)

Heheh what will happen if we do kill it??? Will you please tell us or else it will probably happen.:)

We could set a record for users online... at least in the off-season... presuming we don't crash the server.

Will this "thing" make the Milwaukee Brewers an awesome team?

If you kill the server -- the August 1st thing won't happen on time.

If the server does die -- all of us 'in the know' have agreed to not tell anybody, and you will all just suffer. So, being excited as you all are, it is in your best interest to not kill the server. :D

Unfortunately, probably not.

This serves no purpose to me then. I shall cry.

Brewers fan Brandon? :p

As you might have noticed...

You're all taking a lot of notice.

And the point of this thing? To notice.

So please, take notice.

I know it :p I guessed it in an AIM convo with someone. All I can say is, the answers so far are correct, and you will like it. I think it's a wonderful idea, and something people will really enjoy and appreciate.

i know what it is!

the forums will build all the robots for us, which will let us all keep our hair in our heads this upcoming year!

no?

well, that'd be something i'd really enjoy and appreciate... :p

/me changes clock on computer to august 1st...

i dont see it. :ahh:

Jeff: YEs thanks you:)

Ian: No..but maybe that can be the next project!

David: No. But nice try

It is related or like anything on the indianafirst.org or indianafirst forums page?

boy do i wish!!!!

Clark: No
David: yes...you do:)

Is this surprise going to make me hungry?

Cause if so that would stink and i'd like to know so i can prepare.

Maybe

*Stock up anyways...cuz you never know when hunger will strike*

Eastern time?

Was this conceived before IRI?

The 800 lines of code was written last week/weekend. The idea .. one of the Amandas or Josh will have to answer that.

Is the feature abusable? I mean..*cough*
hehehe just kidding

nope. there is alot of control via an admin interface.

So, less than 10 hours until the debut of the Chief Delphi Dating Service, eh?

That's been my guess for the last couple of days and nothing that's been posted has lead me to believe otherwise.

=-]

Yes.

One question per person, please. No, I'm not avoiding your other question ... or am I? :D

Here are some easy-to-follow instructions on how to see the new feature at midnight tonight. (EDT)

• Go to the portal at 11:59:00 PM EDT.
• Count to 61.
• Hit refresh once. Twice if you were too excited and counted too fast, or something.
• Enjoy.

The forums will be disabled from approximately 11:50pm to 11:59:59pm. I have to prepare a file or two.

Thanks!

Make sure thats in Spanish as well, it won't work otherwise :p

So, if brandon still has to prepare a few files, how is he sure that it will all work?

Yes. :)

Are these 10 minute changes just adding links? Will it change the way we surf CD in the future?

Nope.

Yes. well maybe... no i mean yes.

Uh-oh....anybody else see another refresh fest crashing the CD server? None of us will see the changes I bet, it's all gonna crash and burn!!! Ok maybe not burn..but it'll still be bad, I hope not.

You'll see the changes. Trust me.

Nope. I can prevent it.

Aight so right before the refresh fest, someone needs to take a screen shot, and make sure it gets distributed

If you do get a shot.. email me and I'll make sure it gets up on www.goodjive.com

Wha? Why would you want a screenshot before the new feature is out? Once you see the new feature, you won't be refreshing like mad using it or anything. Few clicks here & there. The refresh fest will be the craziness before it is revealed.

See the number of users on, maybe?

I figure.. that some people might count to 61.. some 63 and some others 65 even..

I figure the server might get a little slow, and some people won't like the long load so they will click refresh a couple more times, lol.. this is saying that 1000's of people show up :-)

But they won't lol most will wait until tom. Is my guess.. well I guess 12:00 is tom. hrmm :-(

either way I have to see it tonight cuz I have a plain to catch at 5

/edit also.. brandon are there even 1000 active members during off season ? /edit

In the past 30 days, 315 unique users have posted at least one message. 715 users have logged in at least once. In the past 60 days, 551 unique users have posted at least one message. 966 have logged in at least once.

No more questions or discussion.

There will be a thread or new forum made at midnight to discuss the new feature.
