Conlang Reconstruction Game 2014: we have a forum

Substantial postings about constructed languages and constructed worlds in general. Good place to mention your own or evaluate someone else's. Put quick questions in C&C Quickies instead.

I contacted prophpbb on their Facebook page. They said:

And it's down again.

I wonder if there is any way to migrate the forum to some other host. This is a pretty shitty situation. But I guess we'd need Serafín for that if it's even possible.

What about migrating to the original Akana board? We're already in Akana, so why bother with another board? Two more secret subforums shouldn't be an issue.

There's space for this on the AkanaForum, sure. Migrating the data should be possible if board admins on prophpbb.com can do a database backup, but I don't know whether that's the case, and of course Serafín would still need to give us access to his admin account. I've already asked him; I hope he'll respond.

If that doesn't work, we'd have to move the relevant posts over by hand, one by one, which is a lot of tedious work (but I guess the forum is still small enough that this would be possible, and we could make it a group effort too).

Well, I am currently doing an extensive back up of most of the relevant data on our subforum, so it shouldn't be an issue.
The conlanger formerly known as “the conlanger formerly known as Pole, the”.

I'd personally prefer to rewrite my various threads, to make them easier to edit.

We can always mass sopypaste what we need.

But there is another known issue of the AkanaForum not keeping users logged in.
The conlanger formerly known as “the conlanger formerly known as Pole, the”.

It's still up for me.

Btw I'm going to try to get a sample and maybe even the rest of the shade sh list out this week, but a lexicon will take a little longer.
If you cannot change your mind, are you sure you have one?

Here's a thread on Oscan.

Great news! I have a phonix file for RTW that actually sort of works. In the next few days, it is my hope that I can get a bunch more entries in the lexicon.

Oh, we folks are getting lazier and lazier, it seems. Rest in peace the times of relay 2011/2012, when I managed to do everything by hand. :P

But it's a good news anyway!

I added a bunch of about 150 derived words (which I had been working on during the last few weeks) to my lexicon for Ree Rɛɛ Kıbyaa. This means that the lexicon is now ready to be published, with 1011 words in total:

http://akana.conlang.org/wiki/Ree_Rɛɛ_Kıbyaa/Lexicon

(If anyone's interested, the grammar has received a major update too...)

Nicely!

I'll try to return to reconstructing when I find some time and will.

I've added a whole lot of on Əktoś Duəmeuk's morphology to its Akana wiki page. Note you'll need to copy the address because the capital schwa breaks the internet. to http://akana.conlang.org/wiki/Əktoś_Duəmeuk

I have started Endayin, yet another revision of the branch of the Leic family formerly known as Arósen (May '14) or Mentsaiho (February '15).

In the other news, I've started putting up pieces of a new Leic conlang, Pyvyy. By the end of the next week I'll also add at least some of the lexicon and some more morphology.
