News:As I (thatGuy) has explained in the past, if StraightPrep became a chore I would not shut it down but pass over ownership to one of the senior members of the forum. For the few that do not already know, I has decided to do just that. As of 12:00A ET June 1, 2013 (9:59P March 31, 2013) JohnyMac will be taking charge of the forum and its archives.
It is my desire to retain the domain name StraightPrep (Beans, Band-aides and bullets) for the project I am currently working on, Johnymac?s site will be called UnchainedPreppers which is a much more realistic name.
The StraightPrep achieves has been placed into a GoogleDrive and they are working out the particulars of how that information will be accessible. We are hopeful that the new crew will be able to get the archival info posted.
The plan as it stands,
May 31, 2013 at 9:59P MT StraightPrep will be locked.
March 31, 2013 10:00P MT anybody trying to sign onto SP will be directed to go to [url=http://www.UnchainedPreppers.com/forum]www.UnchainedPreppers.com/forum[/url] ([url]http://www.UnchainedPreppers.com/forum[/url]) and login with your same name and password you used here at SP.
It is JohnyMac's intention to make UnchainedPreppers a mirror image of the existing StraightPrep site with the exception of some coloring and narrowing of the categories. In theory there should be little change in the beginning with some changes in the future that are driven by you, the forum members.
It is strongly recommended that once you have re registered to read the Vision and Mission Statement of UnchainedPreppers and offer enhancements to the board members who at this time are: APX808, Crudos, Rah45, Special-K, JohnyMac or thatGuy. Yes I will be one of the Board of Directors of UnchainedPreppers it is not my intention to turn my back on you guys. The bonds that have been formed over the years are deep and meaningful and I would like to continue to share in the collective group experience.
JohnyMac will be in need of category moderators sooner than later, so if you are interested in helping out please drop him a PM once the UnchainedPreppers site goes live.
Between the time that StraightPrep closes and UnchainedPreppers goes live, please feel free to PM me or JohnyMac using StraightPrep, with any questions you might have.
And as always, God Bless you and your's, stay safe, stay sane.

Rock on bro. I'm here to add any assistance that JM requires by me, or you for that matter, thatGuy.
Will it be possible to bring over some archived threads that we deem needed for the new site that have a load of info on it? Or should we start copying/pasting everything? Will we be able to access the site again sometime in the future? Or a locked out version in which only old members or mods of the new site can see?
Either way, I'm hurrying up to wait lol

Hey Frosty,
We will be doing our level best to make sure the old posts/topics are brought to the new forum.
If that isn't possable we will figure out another way to make sure you guys still have access whether that be a CD, a public accessible dropbox or someother means. This is my pledge to you.

I'm in charge of the technical aspects of the migration, and when you login to unchainedpreppers you'll be able to see the same posts and topics that you see here.
THE ONLY CHANGE YOU'LL NOTICE WILL BE THE URL, ALL THE STRAIGHTPREP.COM CONTENT WILL BE AVAILABLE AT UNCHAINEDPREPPERS.COM(UP)
YOU WONT NEED TO REGISTER AGAIN, THE USERS ARE BEING MIGRATED ALSO
New board has a similar but new theme and some interface improvements you'll discover when you login there.
I'll keep y'all updated on the migration process
-
@TG: I edited your newsletter to say "... and login with your same name and password you used here at SP."
-
Have you migrated the users? i can't log in.
-
Have you migrated the users? i can't log in.
No. It should happen very soon. Maybe today/tonight.

V0dka, as was written in ThatGuys Press Release; UnchainedPreppers will be live June 1, 2013. Please continue to use StraightPrep until then.
APX is the web guru and will have things pretty much ready to go by then.
Stay Frosty V0dka. :)

I hope what you are saying Mntn is you will see us on the other side at UnchainedPreppers. To loose a good guy because he doesn't want to even check out the new site would be a serious bummer. ;)

Frosty, I love your enthusiasm! Rock on!
-
I would like to help out, but am extremely occupied right now. Maybe in the future, if need be. Are you going to stick around TG? You may have already indicated, and I missed it. I'm tired.LOL Anyway, you've done an excellent job, and have been a level headed professional the whole way. You have passed the torch to a well deserving man, in JM. Looks like an easy transition. (for us anyway. LOL) Thanks to both of you gentleman!

HJ, I will continue to be involved and have taken a seat on the board of directors. Its going to be just like straightprep only I won't be in the hot seat anymore!

Someone has to pretend to be excited and ready to get their hands dirty ;D
-
I am excited Frost.
-
I started my new account ( same name) I love the site already but I'm gonna miss this one however I think we needed some change.
-
@Alex1992 I'm glad you like the new site, we have many ideas to implement new things. Remember that after the migration you'll need to login using the straightprep.com user and password. You'll need to configure your profile again too, as current accounts at unchainedpreppers will be lost after the migration.
See ya there in a few days.

Done that APX just look for my name
-
APX, how is all that treating you?
It was a bitch to backup all that crap because godaddy only lets you move 20 megs around at a time.. Let me know if I left anything out.
-
Thanks TG, everything is working perfectly, there was an easier way exporting the DB from the board administration panel, but don't worry, is all good to go.
Special-K is giving me a big hand with the migration process, so thanks man [URL=http://www.smileyvault.co
May 31th at 2200Z the migration starts so hopefully all straightprep.com users are able to login and start using unchainedpreppers.com on June 1st

Special-K is a hell of a dude for sure!

When I see people dressed like that I always think to myself that they are packing, and that they don't intend to pay for the half and half they just consumed.

The Big Lebowski is in my top ten favorite movies!!!
Maude Lebowski: What do you do for recreation?
The Dude: Oh, the usual. I bowl. Drive around. The occasional acid flashback.
Not trying to blow smoke up anybodies kilt here...Apx and Special-K are making it happen! I don't know what they are saying half the time though... ;)
