Content from the two other sites, at least what I decided to keep of them, is now absorbed and consolidated. Not sure what I'm going to do with the other domains... probably let therm expire after offering to Ronnie or someone else who dabbles with web sites to take them over and renew if they want. Now this and main site are sitting at v8.00.21. Contemplating upgrade to v9.03.00, but weighing (1) the hassle of doing it now, (2) the headaches of upgrading knowing there are issues after upgrading that have to be discovered and tweaked, (3) what v9 brings that makes the hassle worth it. Whatever version I stay with for now, I'm going to go back to multi-site member d/b under one domain name and not the split. Spitting the main and back room sites has been wasted effort and will be a pain going back. But given the trend in logins and real deal members over the last (decade or so), there's no need for multiple sites, multiple domains, the added expense and work of it, for the sake of "hiding behind the curtain". Private and higher group catering only. Fuck the wannabes. (11/16/19)
Still moving things around. One site done, the other still in progress. I'm back into debate over whether I should keep this site a separated domain from my 'main/personal/fam' site or merge them into the same domain and configure this one as the true 'back room area' of said main site. That, so that only one member database logs in to both areas and managing one site vs 2+ sites is easier. Down side, depending on viewpoint, is the entire main and back room sites are no longer anonymous. Not for me, and so my requirement will be not for members either. Dunno... still debating. (11/5/19)
Restricted access and the https change apparently fucked something up. Maybe. I don't know. It's always something, if not one thing it's gonna be another. This one is issues with secret group area login. Well. It seems that sometime not long ago after I added https (SSL certificate security) to the site, it's been messing with the htaccess login to the secret group area/level on certain areas of the site. It's always something. It's not like I have all kinds of time to mess with trying to figure out what's wrong. Dammit... so for now, maybe the login to the secret group areas work, maybe not.

I gotta put this out. Attention Registered Members (that means newly registered and those who have been in here longer as well as the higher level member groups). Did you read The Back Room ACCESS TERMS AND CONDITIONS AGREEMENT when you registered or were otherwise initially given access here? No? Read it then. Particularly for those longtime members of the other project sites who have moved over here.... the intent and mindset here is different and active content participation is required on this site!

Hmmm. Need a mechanism for member group upgrades since direct registrations is turned on. Gotta work on that.... (8/8/19) Save for later. Registration turned back off for now... (8/14/19)
Site Registration from the main page is turned on We'll see if registrations directly off the web, as opposed to being 'screened' or registered on the other site first, negatively impacts the ambiance.(8/6/19) Save for later. Registration turned back off for now... (8/14/19)
Well shit... the multi-site thing where both the main and this Back Room area uses the same member database and single login just didn't work out for comfortably separating the sites. Separate login on each is required. (6/24/19)
Decided to put a bulletins panel up for significant site related things. More for my own tracking...(3/24/19)
JBM well you were higher level, yes, secret level I know. You been inactive for a long time no updates no new secret shared stuff thought you got lost. On this site it ain't going to be a one time thing to get in at higher group. Participate, contribute and update your good shit. So start up again with newer content. That's all.
