View Full Version : INTERCOT West Boards Moving Here To INTERCOT!

Just wanted to give you a heads up!

Sometime tomorrow, we will be closing down the INTERCOT West Boards as they exist now and moving the Boards here.

The look and feel will be familiar and the focus will be still be on Disneyland. For the rest of the forums here, you'll be able to particapate on the INTERCOT boards thriving community as a whole. From the new IWEST Boards menu, you can get there by...

1) Clicking on the Main Boards link at the bottom.
2) Using the Jump Menu to go to the exact forum you want
or
3) Choose the INTERCOT Boards link at the top of the page.

We are still tweaking things but we may add a forum jump menu to the left as well.

Finally, some bad news. We will not be able to port over user names to INTERCOT's discussion boards. If you are not presently a registered user on INTERCOT (Not INTERCOT West), you will need to sign up again.

To compensate for this inconvenience, we will be setting up a special email address (to be announced tomorrow) for you to send notice you have signed up - and we will restore your posting status/count.

Ryan and I know this will be a little bit of a pain at first, but that you will come to love being part of the larger INTERCOT Community and benefit from increased traffic in the Disneyland specific forums.

So, hop on over, and meet some new friends... and thanks for being a valued member of INTERCOT!

BTW, here is a link to the OLD boards for archive purposes - which will be up for the next week or so:

Yea! How exciting! I had started to visit the I-west boards occasionally as we plan for a DL visit in June, and I always wished that it was part of Intercot main, as I'm more used to the layout and function of the site. Bet there'll be more traffic here, too! :thumbsup:

As JohnY Posted in the Disneyland forums, the Intercot West Discussion boards are being merged into our discussion boards in the next couple of days. So, I wanted to welcome everybody from Intercot West over to our discussion boards!!!!! Hope you all enjoy it over here.
:clappy: :clappy: :clappy: :clappy:


P.S. Does anybody know if the Churro Thread from Intercot West is going to be ported over here to our discussion boards or are we going to have to start all over in the Disneyland forums?

Wow this is really great news. Have been with intercot for a while and just recently signed up with Intercot west. I just love it. It will be much easier to keep up now that I don't have to bounce between both.

thank you so much

I had a few postings in IWest under this same name. Can we add them to our regular Intercot count?

:rocks: Welcome to the East side all you West Siders! It's me, Michael and I happen to be a mod on both sides, so I will still be here helping out with questions and cool DLR stuff on the new and bigger INTERCOT!

It's fun, and there are LOTS of super people around over here, you'll have a great time!

See you on the boards! :wave:

:welcome:

Welcome to the INTERCOT West members coming over to INTERCOT and welcome to INTERCOT members taking a first peek at the new Disneyland Resort portion of the boards.

For those of you familiar with IW, you will find these boards just as easy to navigate - with a lot more options for your fonts, colors, & smilies! :mjump:

Don't be afraid to join in. You already know me and several others from IW (I was "tink" over there), so you are among friends. :wave:

This is cool. I actually visited the Intercot West boards when ever Intercot was down. Luckily I was able to use my same screen name or I would have really been confused.

The only problem I have is.....
What do I do when Intercot is down now??? :D

What do I do when Intercot is down now??? :DWe're hardly ever down anymore, after switching to the new boards on vBulletin. ;) Of course, there will be necessary upgrades now and then. For those occassions, I suggest you take up.....knitting. :knit: :D

I was "Cogsworth" over on IntercotWest, but as that name was taken over here, I am now "CogsworthWest", trying to retain a little of our West Coast roots!

This new format looks great!

:welcome: CogsworthWest to Intercot! (East)


This new format looks great!

I was registered on Interctot West but didn't post very often. The main thing I didn't like about the West boards was the format. I never understood why Intercot looked so good, and Intercot West looked so bad. I'm glad to see the merge happen. :mickey:

Figment!

... trying to retain a little of our West Coast roots!We also have recently added a slew of new Disneyland Avatars for anyone also interested in showing their love of the "park the Walt built".

They can be found under the "Disneyland Resort" section on the Avatar drop-down menu.

:confused: Um, it was the same format just a different color (as you see now). INTERCOT got an upgrade with a few more bells and whistles, but essentially it was the same.

The times I visited it didn't look the same to me. I figured it must be using a different version of software. The site had a different look to it, beyond color, unless it was changed in the last several months. I had not been on the West boards in a while.

Hey all,

I'm here finally. This is Scott from the I-West. Formerly a moderator. Looking forward to getting to know the rest of the Intercot family.

In need of some coaster time and soon!

When will all the posts be moved over?
I can't find a thread that I started and do not know if anyone has answered. I had a question on working Studios in CA.

The threads from INTERCOT West will not be moved over. I'd suggest that you pose the question again here.

Hi everyone!

I'm back on Intercot (finally) after my password somehow got lost. Couple of questions:

1. JohnY wrote "To compensate for this inconvenience, we will be setting up a special email address (to be announced tomorrow) for you to send notice you have signed up - and we will restore your posting status/count."

Has that email address been issued yet? (I've been busy trying to get my username/password restored and might have missed the posting)

2. DisneyDudet wrote "I had a few postings in IWest under this same name. Can we add them to our regular Intercot count?" :confused:

I'd like to know the answer to this but, also, I'm in a slightly different situation. I had different names on IntercotWest and Intercot. Will adding my IWest counts to my Intercot counts work even though they are under different usernames?

Thanks!

Questions for moderators. Are the games from the west side being imported over here, or do we have to start new games? Are there already any existing games regarding DLR only? I don't mind learning about WDW, but I am really only a DL enthusiast. I would like to know I can participate in trivia games and either/or games about DLR only.

I was enjoying the Kevin Bacon game. Does someone need to start that up here or will it be imported over to here?

Also, what happens to all the old threads with good DLR info? Are they archived or just lost? We had a lot of good stuff and I loved that thread about supposed hauntings in DL. Will the old site go down, or can we refer back to it?

Thanks. :mickey:

Take a look at the games section. (http://www.intercot.com/discussion/forumdisplay.php?f=26) You will recognize many of them as being the same as at INTERCOT West. I think you will discover that many of the games that have to do with Disney are Disney general, rather than specific to WDW or Disneyland, just as it was at IW. You can always start a new game that isn't already being played and see if anyone is interested in participating.

Actor Association is already being played here at INTERCOT. Join in!

This has not yet been determined.

Hi everyone! Phew! Glad I made it over here! :) I was Tnkbelle over on the Intercot West board. With the new board I decided on a new handle to match what I typically use on other boards. Now all I need to do is get my post count/stars back and I'll be all set! :)

Looking forward to reconnecting with some old friends and meeting new ones!

Howdy all!
I was previously known as "Mercury" on the Intercot West Boards....I haven't checked in for quite a while, but since I have, I guess I should re-introduce myself.
I go by "Drevlo" now....I'm from Sonoma County, Ca. which is about 45minutes north of San Francisco..
Does anyone know what I have to do to get my old "stats" back from the IntercotWest days?

Cheers!
