onedge30 Posted February 20, 2007 Report Posted February 20, 2007 Hello all, Just throwing this out there and wondering if anyone else has had trouble getting log access to some of the other specialty forums? Like forcepike.com and mepd.com. Do you HAVE to already be a member of the 501st? Damn, I have two stormtrooper helmets and they are both dirty ALREADY!!! LOL!!! I think I will start dirty and think about going clean. (snicker) I am working on both costumes and was hoping to get info as I build, but can not seem to get access. Any thoughts? Anyone got any pull with these two sites? Jeff Quote
Daetrin[Admin] Posted February 20, 2007 Report Posted February 20, 2007 Don't know about forcepike, but MEPD is open to everyone. I'd contact the site admins if you can't see the boards. Quote
Runnriottt Posted February 20, 2007 Report Posted February 20, 2007 I am having the same trouble on the Forcepike boards and I own a complete and hopefully accepted TR EU costume. I have emiled the admin a couple of times, but I think the problem is there not well traveled boards, (at least the TR) and it might take some time to get in contact. Just keep trying, I am as well... Quote
onedge30 Posted February 20, 2007 Author Report Posted February 20, 2007 I can read some of the forum postings, but with out being registered you can not contact or post. Thanks for the confirmation that I am not the only one out in space! LOL!! With the registration and then having to wait for a HUMAN to make the approval. Could be a LONG wait. Jeff Quote
SethB6025[501st] Posted February 25, 2007 Report Posted February 25, 2007 Hi Jeff, I'm the DL of MEPD and an admin for the boards. We just had a huge over-haul to the registration process due to a severe bot problem (now elimitnated) if you registered and have not yet gotten an activation email you got deleted in the purge earlier today. Go ahead and re-register and you'll be up and posting within a couple hours at most. Quote

Exodus[TK] Posted February 25, 2007 Report Posted February 25, 2007 I'd recommend checking out MPED, great group over there. Amazing how much you can learn from all of brothers/sisters in armor. Quote
Daetrin[Admin] Posted February 25, 2007 Report Posted February 25, 2007 I'd recommend checking out MPED, great group over there. Amazing how much you can learn from all of brothers/sisters in armor. Especially considering that MEPD was the template for FISD. While there are some specific costume differences, in the end it's the same white armor underneath. Quote
onedge30 Posted February 28, 2007 Author Report Posted February 28, 2007 Seth was the man, and hooked me up with the MEPD!!! Still looking for any help with the Force Pike forums. I have not heard a peep. Jeff Quote
Butah Fett Posted February 28, 2007 Report Posted February 28, 2007 Well, Royal Guards tend to be pretty silent. Quote
SethB6025[501st] Posted March 1, 2007 Report Posted March 1, 2007 Well, Royal Guards tend to be pretty silent. No problem Jeff! No one be afraid to sign up at MEPD now. We had a bad bot problem, up to 200 bots a week. I would sort through them one-by-one once a week to find maybe 5 real people (probably miss just as many). Often I would miss them if they didn't have a "TK####" type name. Although at least two bots I remember mimicked board names. Although, the bot had too many numbers behind "TK". Now thanks to our newest member of the web team I have it real easy, and haven't seen a bot in a week! He updated the interface too, so now I can see all unactivated members and take care of dozens of new members in a few minutes. I worked through a 600-bot backlog last weekend in less than 20 minutes. Now all I see is real people signing up! I hope you guys don't have too much bot trouble, it saps a lot of time from fun work.

Schaf Posted March 1, 2007 Report Posted March 1, 2007 Hi there, please send me a PM with your username on Forcepike.com and I will get this issue solved. We (as many other boards) had severe probs with spam accounts and people who wanted to tell us that we need viagra. I'm sorry that not everything works smooth yet. It is not easy to filter out the "real" persons from the spamthings... like Seth wrote. Forcepike has internal parts as well, if a user wants access to 501st only parts he has to contact a mod. Sorry again Andrea "Schaf" TR detachment MO Quote
