Title: the forums and the frontpage: connected!
Post by: rtil on September 11, 2008 10:41 PM
Now that i've learned a little mysql, i was able to create a script that links the stories in the news section here (http://www.thebackalleys.com/forum/index.php?showforum=6) to the stories on the front page (http://www.thebackalleys.com). I've wanted to do this for a very long time but never knew how or had the motivation to learn it. But recently i've been programming a lot and i figured i'd give this a try, and it worked.  

Hopefully this will bring a little bit more unity to the forums and the rest of the site, which is the way i'd have had it to begin with. so from now on, I will be writing my front page posts in here, and forum news and thebackalleys news will be shared. Hopefully this thing doesn't break or explode when I post this. well here it goes!

oh yeah - all the old news stories are currently inaccessible, but i'll get working on a little archive if for some strange reason somebody wanted to go back and read them.

*basically

oh also rtil, pretty nice although i'm wondering if this will have any effect on nonforum users who only checked out the frontpage
Might attract more users

Post by: rtil on September 11, 2008 11:44 PM
not sure if that would be a good or bad thing haha, we shall find out

but it would be nice to see more new faces more often regardless

Post by: rtil on September 11, 2008 11:49 PM
yeah, that's a typical trend in forums. although i don't really understand it, i've posted at least once in every forum i've registered on. i mean i had a reason to bother signing up lmao

unless that is it's a site that forces you to register to download something then you're part of the forums automatically etc

sinister was only here to 'troll' if that's what you want to call it. i tolerated him for a really long time, i even let him stay after he flooded the forums with wps twice. actually, i wasn't the one that banned him first - taylor did. i agreed with his decision and decided to add an IP ban. there's no reason for him to be around and he didn't contribute to the community at all.

Sunshine, lollipops and rainbows,
Everything that's wonderful is what I feel when we're together,
Brighter than a lucky penny,
When you're near the rain cloud disappears, dear,
And I feel so fine just to know that you are mine.

My life is sunshine, lollipops and rainbows,
That's how this refrain goes, so come on, join in everybody!

Sunshine, lollipops and rainbows,
Everything that's wonderful is sure to come your way
When you're in love to stay.

And it was pretty cool!

And I like Sinist0r he made some nice art every now and then! I think that kinda contributes!

did the nullified by get you reported or did the forum software do that
Title: the forums and the frontpage: connected!
Post by: rtil on September 12, 2008 07:34 PM
there is some location in the forum folders where there is supposed to be a license file so their piracy team can easily check the license. no doubt there is nothing there , and that's what caught their attention.

mr blue would have most likely reported it for piracy too

for the five billionth time, there is no proof that he reported it or that it was even reported to begin with. IPS has a piracy team that scouts out forums without licenses.

Quote from: Squeefwell you could've just taken out that NULLED BY HUGE FAGGOT XLl shit a long time ago but i dont really know whats going on here and this reply might not be very helpful sorry
that nulled message had nothing to do with what has taken place. IPS looks for a license file in a certain folder of every IPB board. if it isn't there, they assume it is not licensed. whether or not the message was there makes absolutely no difference.

What's wrong with phpbb?   I've used it for years and I love it.
Title: the forums and the frontpage: connected!
Post by: rtil on September 18, 2008 04:14 AM
i thought it was kind of clunky, lacked a lot of features i wanted
although back then i knew a lot less about php/mysql etc
but i don't want to switch anyway, i really like this package

Boog neer!

Ik ben de opperste leider van alle levende schepselen ter wereld. Ik ben de opperste bevelhebber van alle land. Niets bevindt zich op mijn manier om me van het uitspreiden van mijn vleugels van rechtvaardigheid tegen te houden. Slechts overleven de rasechte rassen en de species. Overwinnend de donkere krachten die omhoog op ons rusten, veroorzaakt door lafaards en bedorven politici. Wij moeten hen omverwerpen en volledige controle bereiken! Met me zoals de natuurlijke grote leider, ik met succes zal een hoogtepunt blooded creƫren de maatschappij. Ik zal de mensen van bedorven bloed bevrijden. Ik zal het kwaad met swift van mijn vleugel vernietigen. Ik zal ruimte voor rasechte rassen maken. Ik zal de ziekte van andere waardeloze rassen tenietdoen. Ik zal u een nieuwe era brengen!

Hef uw hoofd op! Bevind me rechtstreeks! Voer uw ware leider uit!
