WEEDGURU UPDATING PHPBB CODING

Hey people,
me and asmodeus been working like ants to get the update sorted out.
unfrotunately the shop and seed system is currently out of service, and may be for some time further.
Importantly we have updated all the security issues, which could well have explained many of the password and other strange issues we had in recent months, so the site itself should be more secure.
apologies for the brief disabling of the forums, but it is necessary when making changes to the forum code.
we may experience a few errors or teething problems while the new code settles into its new forums....
pleaase bear with us and pray that ace programmer Asmodeus can bring a positive and succesful conclusion to a potential devastating situation..
stay cool people
animal and asmodeus...

There is an option when / if I put the seeds back up that I can either:
automatically recalculate the amount of seeds you should have, which means you would lose any additional seeds that someone may have donated to you, or the seeds can be left as they stand now, which means any posts you do between now and this future seed update wont contribute any seeds to you.
Hmm, I think i've just confused myself.

I think you've just confused me too
I think the second option is the best in my opinion. I definately think you should put the seeds back on the site though.

No i do like the second more, you may lose a few seeds but if you've recieved donations they are probably gonna be more than the amount you make up during this lack of seeds, if you understamd what im saying. I think i made sense to myself.

we should keep the seed totals as they were before because i recently got 15,000 off Big Daddy for whooping him in fantasy football

well thank god we got through that maze and found our way out to a more secure forum base,, but yeh at the expense of our seeds and the shop.
I know it probably doesnt feel like much to you guys, cos you lost seeds(for now), but the security update hasbeen needed urgently for a while. Im sure if it is posible, and we can find a MOD that can fit with our new version of phpbb, then at some point Asmodeus will attempt it....
njoy your new found security!
