new world order

topic posted Sat, July 31, 2004 - 8:02 PM by  Ignatius
there is a new whisper in the night.

I am building daffo forums at hungryflower.org for our permanent use with no ads and under our total control. They should be live in the short term (< 1 week), and slowly modified from there. I am using phpBB, which is common opensource forum software and pretty maleable to our needs. Currently we will not have only 100 megs of storage and moderate bandwidth, but if we begin to want to store large amounts of imagery or mp3s, obviously we can upgrade. I've got us some pretty inexpensive hosting that is pretty flexible.

I can give out forwarding email addresses to anyone who is interested. You can be whatever_you_would_like@hungryflower.org and I will set it up to forward to any other email address. You can email me at ignatz@hungryflower.org or just post here.

Kisses to all! Congrats on all the recent successes!

    I need a forum category layout. Don't know what ya'll will want.

    So far there is simply

    Narcissus
    Shows
    Kecak
    Costuming/Prop

    HungryFlower
    General Chat
    Forum Issues

    Perhaps this enough to begin? Or please to give me direction!

      Aggh, fucking tribe ate my spaces! There are supposed to be tabs before the categories following Narcissus and HungryFlower, indicating that what comes below are subcats...

          I see there's a distinction between the pragmatic and the social, which is the main one I would make also... rather than a specific Kecak board, though (which will devolve - mark my words - into strands consisting of C! and GATTENGATTENGOOGATTEN) maybe a "Practice/Rehearsal Schedule" or something; under that could be subcats of

          Dance (all things somatic/movement/physical characterization related)

          Mummery (costumes and props)

          Orchestra (gamelan is included here, also all show-music)

          Vocal (singing, kecak, characterization)

          Node (this would be, like, the Nomad et Obscura are a node with their musical ensemble, Laslo and Freign are a (open-ended but very demanding) node with the set-practicing and difficult theory (Il Fiore Affamato))

          Hey, sailor - come to my house and lets discuss this in bathrobes with brandy, eh? I have some good brandy (better hurry)

            Okay daddy, you're on. Might could come over this week, but we'll have to see. Lilah's going out of town this weekend and I've got the baby, so I'm unsure what that bodes for me. What email address can I use for you these days? Want a hungryflower.org forward?

            Did I mention that tribe sucks? Let's get off this sinking ship!

        zihmian: Not too short, but I need an email address to forward it to. We don't have a ton of space, so at the moment I'm not handing out addresses with any storage.

        Okay all, Loki was over last night and we did some development and a lot of conceptual work. The site will have two parts to start with: a public area and a moderators area. All the core will be moderators. The mod area will be invisible to the public. All the rehearsal and related info will be private and available to he core only. The public face will allow us to cultivate some interaction from the outside. Freign is working on a front page for hungryflower that will direct access to the forum and a gallery that will eventually go up. Also hope to eventually have some limited mp3 sharing. The site will go live in a few days, and will be exceedingly plain at first, but we hope to quickly turn the graphics into daffo spledor. It's functional now, but I've got some testing and mods to make that may crash it a few times, so we'll wait a bit. I think that we will be very happy there.

        Exciting ya'll, soon we will have our own phenomenon without interference by the perpetrations of the man.

    In fact you know what, fuck it. Go ahead and head over to the flower and poke around. Feel free to start posting and playing, knowing that a *lot* will likely change in the near future, including perhaps posts disappearing and crashes and such. But it's in working order. You have to head over to www.hungryflower.org/forum and register. At that point you can only see the public areas. Email or PM me there (my admin persona is JikoBou) and I'll make you a member of the core group and then you'll have full access. I'll be posting more notes over there. I apologize for the generica appearance, but it won't last long.

      It's fun. It's like playing in a construction site. So far we are just yelling "Echo!" but if a few more of you come on over we can actually talk about stuff.

      some revisions: now once you register, go to the link that says "Usergroups" on the top right of the main forum index. Select the group called "core" and click "Join Group." Once I get the notification, I will approve you and it will all open up. You can still just freakin' mail me if that's easier for you. I'm experimenting with features...

        No really, get your asses over to hungryflower.org/forum. Not sure what's so freakin hard about this. Are you sleeping? Are you drunk? We are beginning discussions over there. Come and join in. The flower commands.
