WW2Talk.com is now part of the World War II Network! It was quite a whirlwind day, I had no intention of doing anything special when I woke up this morning, but the situation presented itself and I couldn't pass up the opportunity. I'm still running back and forth taking care of the details, I'll let you all know more information as we move forward!

Very good Otto!

This is very good news. WW2Talk is another forum covering WW2, but it doesn't entirely overlap ww2f. It has a somewhat more British slant for some reason I can't explain, and there is a very strong section dedicated to the Holocaust.

Natives are very friendly over there, I am a member since Feb 2006 with almost 1000 posts, and I'm happy to say I get along famously well with everybody.

I see no conflict in belonging to both forums (heck, I could belong in a few more if I had the time for it

) due to the differences in character between. As a matter of fact there are more than a few members here with a foot on the other boat already, some started from here, others started from there. The more the merrier!

Thanks Slip & Za!

You hit it on the head Za, similar but different in key ways. WW2F is more of an international forum, with fewer members, but higher post counts. WW2T is UK centric, has about 4 times as many members with about a third less posts. They are of course other differences, but these are the most obvious. All members are welcome to join either site as it suits them. I'm looking forward to all the learning and information sharing that will take place at these to sites!

Exactly Otto
I hang out at WW2talk to learn about the British military, of which I am notoriously ignorant about. I hope to learn from them.

Good news for us all - well done, Otto.

Gotthard Heinrici · #8 (**permalink**) August 28th, 2007, 02:58 PM

Well Done Otto and thanks!

I must say that this is all very interesting - I'd never heard of WW2Talk but that's not surprising as I'm really only a WW2Forums sort of guy......

Erich · #10 (**permalink**) August 28th, 2007, 11:53 PM

how about someone over there getting my password back on-line... ?

thank you

Joe · #11 (**permalink**) August 29th, 2007, 09:55 AM

But I think I might not post too much, as it is the third Forum I'm a member of, and there is also an old enemy of mine there. No names mentioned, but he's from another site.

I've never seen so much cross-pollination before! I'll have to get my anti-histamin pills or else I'm going to start sneezing

Bless you za!!!

WW2Talk.com is down, there are a bunch of scripts that worked on the old server that didn't agree to well with the new one. I'm working on the problem
and will have it fixed as soon as I can.

Za Rodinu · #15 (**permalink**) August 30th, 2007, 04:17 PM

Do you mean you just bought the new toy and are already screwing it up? How old are you?

Otto · #16 (**permalink**) August 30th, 2007, 04:20 PM

Exactly Za, but I'm doing the "adult" thing and having someone else fix it for me.

Slipdigit · #17 (**permalink**) August 30th, 2007, 06:20 PM

Otto, I'm glad it is you dealing with and not me.

Computers are the realm of Satan. You will note that I spend a good portion of my day in that realm, judging by my profession.

Erich · #18 (**permalink**) August 30th, 2007, 07:06 PM

Otto have Trouble work on it ..............

Otto · #21 (**permalink**) August 30th, 2007, 07:53 PM

Erich, sometime I wish she were the stereotype. She a sharp one, a lot sharper than me, I need to be on my toes just to keep up!

I tried using linux one time, IMHO it is from the absolute very bowels of Hell. It took too much crap to coax it into doing anything like I wanted.

So how do you really feel about it Slipdigit?

What distribution was it? Red Hat is trash, Ubuntu, CentOS and some other are stellar. linux is pretty damn powerful, it's how why I can run this site, and now another one ww2talk.com without hammering the server.

I did however, shame of shames get a HP notebook running Vista to access the web, post message, upload and edit graphics. So I guess I'm a two timer, just don't tell Trouble!

Slipdigit · #24 (**permalink**) August 31st, 2007, 04:14 AM

It was one of the RedHat gyrations, don't remember the number, it was several years ago. I guess that I have been managing Winders servers for so long, I'm used to them. I have shared the shop with Geeks that drive AIX other flavors of Unix and have piddle some with a couple of Unix boxes in the past, a NAS and web access appliance. Too much command line for this horrendous typist.

I've not touched Vista yet, waiting on the first service pack and it isn't approved for DOD use yet.

Hello, I've just got back from France and posted some of my photos on there but noticed I'm only one of 2 members to be on-line.
Where is everyone?

I've tried to get into this Forum but my "home" is WW2Talk, Wessex Wyvern aka Owen D a 5000plus poster on that site.

I would post one or two here but I can't upload images.
