Some of you may have noticed, as of 2-3 days ago the forum changed drastically. The portal was deleted, theme was restored to its original ugly self, and a few other things also.

Today I put my foot up my backside for myself, and restored and cleaned everything up. Features include:

- A new Portal page! Contains more junk-gadgets for junk-gadget-lovers, such as latest members, top posters, clock, calender (I plan on putting things on later, but this is at the bottom of every list of priorities I have), searching, and the usual stuff on latest posts and user settings as it has before, with slight changes. It also has info on the arcade, which I shall explain below.

- You guessed it, a new arcade! Contains default 25 flash games, with high scores. A few minutes of fun for those that get competitive.

- New Profile pages. Yup, these are far more detailed and good looking than before. I was really impressed when adding them in, our forum host has done a wonderful job.

- The moderators have been cleaned up. This has been neglected for too long.

~A bad note - The portal chatbox (xat) has been erased and it is impossible to restore. I have been in contact with our forum host, and the portal is out. There should be a way around things though, and if it's really needed, we can just get a link up to a chatbox on the portal instead.~


Smaller things have been tweaked on the forum.
Game progress! Yeah, I also got around to editing the game file today. A serious edit. Loads of fatal bugs have been cleared up, and I'm in the process off checking everything up again. Lots of good and bad news here:

The good:
There are so many things we've added now, it's a fine engine. Everything seems smooth and sleek on the outside.

The bad:
Underneath, it's sloppy for some reason. The main event that handles messages being received for the client is extremely messy and buggy. I have cleaned this up about 5 times (it takes over an hour each time >_>. I have a rite to b****.) individually, and each time it manages to get accursed lag back into it. And now it is messy, and laggy. Great. There are also saving problems, most likely to do with our new addition of MD5 hash protection (not complete) and game version synchronization (also not done). This is in preparation for an auto-updater, so it's good too i guess.

And we still haven't got that much further down the list of things to do. Not to worry, I'm talking over with Ruck to cut down some of it, and get a demo out more soon than late. We do need it virtually bugless, clean, and with some vital features included.


There's your progress report, for forum and game. Hope you enjoy the updates, and please let us know what you think of them. And most importantly bugs/errors with the forum, and what your opinion is for the chatbox problem.

HOW IS THAT BAD?! I'M JUMPING FOR JOY AT THAT!!!

I'm not even kidding. Thank you SO MUCH.

Wellllllll, I guess I'm very glad that there are no more noobish comments and one less thing to moderate too . But counted bad, as it is a thing less. As said, we'll probably get a link to a proper chatbox with logs and everything later.

Remmy, you mentioned "an IRC alternative" to Xat in another thread. What would that be? It might be nice to have the chatbox actually be a part of the site instead of coming from another site.

You've never heard of IRC? "Internet Relay Chat?"

No, I have not.

We could be able to add in an AJAX chat thing, but it doesn't really suit the site. AJAX chat is just a chatbox at the bottom of the screen. Devin, the same as SOTO was.
