Well, this isn't the answer people are going to like, but I'm not really going to go into too much detail. To say the least, I felt it was best if Vince was removed as an admin. This has been something I have been thinking about for a while and have recently consulted with some of the other admins about it. I emailed Vince yesterday and told him about it. I told him I hoped he would remain here as a poster, although I know that is a hard thing to expect. I told him I liked him as a poster and that I hated doing what I did. I will be the first to admit, the first time CW was banned, it was wrong and I blame none other then myself. I had all this information coming in and I had nothing to do but to believe it, which to this day, bothers me. Vince is a good person and was a good admin for the site, but plainly put it was time for a change. I don't want to get into it more then that, because frankly, its something that shouldn't be out there. If the other admins want to comment on it, I give them free reign to do so though. No one will be replacing him in his admin-post, although I have 3 other changes to make in the next day or so...nothing severe and I'm confident everyone will enjoy them.

Well, prior ot that, they were doing that stupid quote in box, quote in box stuff, where you ended up getting like 10 quotes all within one quote if you kept quoting. I also have finished recreating the contest board and just have to move a few posts over. And for those doing the football Ynot, just tell me how you want me to set it up.

Quote Feature Fixed

The location won't be back until we do the upgrade right. It should be easy this time. I'm 99% sure I got the kinks worked out. Smilies and control panel are restored

It should work, I just talked to heads. Its working no trouble for me and him, so please post back if that did the trick. I need to know whether there is something else left to be fixed. Also note that all the smilies are back up and working

Hit refresh and see if that works. That or Heads didn't change the code on one of the skins. I'm not sure what he did earlier, but try refresh and tell me if that works.

Smilies will be updated in about 3 minutes. They are all being uploaded onto the server right now

Nevermind, I just noticed the avatars are back up. I'm not sure why a few of the smilies don't show up, but I'll work on that.

I will get to the the rest of the uploads and avatars right now. Give me five minutes and that should be fine. Then I'm going to check out and update the board settings. Also, to speed the board up, sometime right after the season, I'm going to optimize the entire database, which is essentially like running a defrag. I've noticed some things slow down, especially when mods try to delete posts or add forums or stuff like that. Also, I'm going to readd the contest forums and everything. I Really apologize most for losing the info for the last month on the contests. Dont' worry, I've learned my lesson and won't run any upgrades without backing up the database.

Guys, I hate to say it, but I'm 99.9% sure the last two weeks won't be restored. We could of potentially restored it, but I felt it was more key to get the board up now instead of having it down another day or two. Because of that, we'll just have to recover. Now in a few days, I may have access to all the current posts so if their were some things needed for important issues or what not, I Could do it. The Avs and Sigs that still aren't up, will be restored later tonight as well as the pm's and control panel. Until then, just calm down. Also, no post totals will be updated. Sorry, but crap happens and I made a mistake, but it would all have to be done manually and last night Kap and I already spent like 4 hours trying to repair everything and that doens't even come close to how long it would take to do all the stuff manually.

Alex, don't run that script, cause I will be overwriting everything tonight assuming I'm not feeling bad from a few hours at the dentist. Its important that you guys don't do this script or anything like that. Just wait for me to fix it.

Jeremy, I just want to quickly say welcome aboard. I'm assuming your the same Jeremy that posts on WSI. Its good to have ya over here as well. I've always thought you have some good opinions.

Gimme me till tomorrow night guys and I'll get whatever Kap and Alex didn't finish up, done. I pretty much got some food and then passed out for a bit once the board was finally up. Its been an exhausting day. We'll get it all taken care of though

Sorry guys, but I can't get the graphics up till tomorrow, nor can i get the pm's up till then. I have to get going, I got school early in the morning and then I'm going to the dentist for a few hours. I have no idea how I'll be feeling after that, but I'll probably just sleep. I have no work on Friday, so at the latest thats when I'll get to work. Until then the board will look pretty much as is, unless I feel good after the dentist (very unlikely cause I'm gonna be in the chair for like 2 hours).

I doubt they will risk having him finish on a sour note in AA, but it is definately a possibility. Its more likely that he'll stay in Winston Salem the rest of the year though.

It freed up first base for Justin Morneau, who is better then Mient and the Twins got one of the Cubs very best pitching prospects, and he is a lefty. I thought they did a good job considering Mienk was on his way out.

I thought it could of been Crede and Olivo or Reed and Olivo. Not sure though. I do know this, Reed should be up pretty quick. I'm just shocked that the Mariners didn't deal someone or what not. Maybe they are hoping someone will take on Ibanez and his bad contract in a waiver deal or what not, but they got to open up a spot for him in the OF.

Happy Bday Minny...hope its a good one.

He wasn't able to play too much last year, other then at wideout and I don't think he was expected to start at qb this year. He's gotta get on the field first, like someone else said.

We have credentials with all the affiliates.

Q&A With Ryan Sweeney Interview Conducted by Mike Doyle August 2, 2004 FutureSox.com Ryan Sweeney was the Sox 2nd round pick in the 2003 draft. Sweeney entered the draft as one of the top high school hitting prospects, but also as one of the better pitching prospects in the draft. Sweeney would slide to the 2nd round due to signing concerns, but the Sox scouts gauged his interest and knew he wanted to play professional baseball. Sweeney has played at Winston Salem all season and is hitting .279 with 5 HR and 51 RBI. Sweeney, along with Baron outfielder Brian Anderson, are the Sox top outfield prospects...MORE

The Long Road Back: Rick Ankiel

Tracey was drafted out of UCI. He didn't start pitching until junior college though so when he joined the system he was very raw.
