Title: New Forum
Post by: Kornel Kisielewicz on October 23, 2005, 01:22
I've changed the engine of the Forum to miniBB. It should be a lot more reliable now. Unfortunately I have no clue on how to import the messages from the old forum, so you will have to either repost them here again, or count them as "done".

The new Forum is based on MySQL at last (thanks to the courtesy of a friend of mine who gave me access to a MySQL database). It is a modified miniBB script with a completely custom-made Doomish skin :-D. Took a few hours to get all the visual elements right, but I think it was worth it.

Any comments or requests about this new forum please post them here.

Thats o.k! We can repost!

A question, though, will we be able to use avatars?

I'm still not sure -- instead of avatars I would rather add doom-monster pictures that depend on the rank you see by your post :-)

They delay is a bit annoyable, but not bigger than that. It's in the range of tolerable, and we can live with it. (Just remember that times when 14.4k was bleeding-edge technology).

The only thing I dislike is the that your sig isn't random :-P

Hadn't you see Kornel's posts on rgrd?
Each his message has a different sign selected randomly from a set of previously craftedly collected rogue-like related quotes.

Just noticed this:

Kornel Kisielewicz
Developer
Imp


Somehow, an image coming to my mind is an imp from the Dungeon Keeper, not from the Doom (doom ips is known under another name here).

I guess, I shall post less to delay such 'promotion' :-P

Seems the time comes to disallow anonymous posts and to make the register procedure tougher for bots :(

It looks like a spambot tried posting some kind of website (I'm not going there) in a language pack that no one here posesses.

This is why most forums dont allow unregistered users to post.

Does not matter. He posts not for us but for google/yahoo/msn bots to have more 'references' for the site and raise it's search ratings.

Well here you are ^_^ -- Welcome to the team. You're the most active lately, so you being mod seems a good idea. What I ask you tough is *NOT* to moderate anything except --

1) malicious posting
2) spam

Any other things you think that should be moderated please inform me. Also, you have access to the banIP option, but use it ONLY if you delete ANOTHER spam from the same IP.

I also added mod-priviledges to the "Team Members" (Yes, Aerton, that's you too ;-) ).

*sigh* To meld two quotes from two of my favorite movies, <i>WHAT</i> in the blue fuck is <i>this</i> happy horseshit!?

Looks like Auoi2E (who seems to be posting in some kind of Algebian or other non-terrestrial language) wants us to buy something... =/
