Re: The Plan

That's odd. I'll wait for your post tomorrow, then.

Another small update, I've updated the rules page. Please read and agree to the new rules set forth in this historic document.

Re: The Plan

These rules seem a bit strict, though I guess I can follow them.

Re: The Plan

They are strict out of necessity. A forum like this requires strict discipline and harsh discipline.

Another tiny update, the logo/header image now links back to the index page.

Re: The Plan

Hmm, Today it seems to be loading fine and very speedy, odd.

Also, I love the new rules. GRANDMA ARE YOU IN THERE?

Also: "At least 60 seconds have to pass between posts" Are you kidding me... Can we have this limit lifted after 10 posts or whatever?

Re: The Plan

Really? That's a thing? Must've been reset when we merged. I'll reduce it down to 30 seconds.

You could lift it for confirmed users or something like that.

Re: The Plan

Updates!

Over the past few days there were 3 bug fixes, several site speedups, an unlikely security fix, and 1 bug that I'm still working.

Plan 53H has been completed. Now, it's impossible to get ninja'd. If somebody posts while you were busy typing, it'll inform you.

Re: The Plan

More changes:
- Bad Behavior mod added. Supposedly, this will prevent spam bots from entering the site. I'm trying to avoid installing an eye-stabbing captcha mod as long as I can.
- Spoiler tag added.
- I took out some forum logging stuff that might have slowed the forums down a few milliseconds.
- Registrations were re-enabled again. They were disabled because of 1.21 buttloads of spam registrations.
- Backups of ALL forumstuff are taken daily in case of disaster.
- VSABR mod was uninstalled.
- I feel like there's one other thing so I'll leave this here for later.


- Disabled registrations again. Bad Behavior is worse than VSABR. I guess it's time to admit that I can't avoid captchas anymore.

Re: The Plan

Registrations are re-enabled. I haven't added captchas yet but I found a honeypot-type spam-registration-blocking thing. So far it's doing pretty well. It's blocked a whole registration in the few hours it's been up.

Re: The Plan

I found out a few days ago that our BadBehavior mod was blocking Bingbot and possibly a few other bots. So, instead of presenting the blocked with a special page, the mod now logs them out if they're logged in. So now bingbot and any other bots can crawl freely.

As a result of this, I successfully moved failf.net78.net's reputation over to tewin.ml, which means that we now show up on the first page of results for "Fail Forums" on bing.

Good. Bing is wise to recognize our superiority.

Re: The Plan

Stuff: profile links now use usernames like this: "profile.php?user=Different55" instead of "profile.php?id=3"

Links in topics and the link in the header have been changed to user links.

I'm still working on changing it to "/user/Different55" but mod_rewrite refuses to cooperate, giving me errors ranging from 500's affecting the entire website to 404's and 403's affecting only profile.php. Mod_rewrite wins today, but I'll get my revenge eventually.

Re: The Plan

The [noparse][burn][/noparse] tag is back, and now 50% harder to read!

Also, we now have a noparse tag that prevents everything except itself from being read by the forums.
