  1. Depending on my lovely schedule (gotta install an intake manifold in a car lol) the website will be offline tomorrow around 8:30-9pm PST to upgrade the site to the latest greatest toy (ie the latest version). Nothing will be loss downtime should be like 5 minutes blah blah blah yadda yadda yadda

     

    Questions can be posted here on this thread. Comments an go into the shoutbox, complaints an go into Jason's head.

  2. So long story short, we hate the way vBulletin is going and the fact there is still quite a few bugs involved. So, we are moving to IPB once again. A new skin has been picked (that is just uber sexy), new shoutbox ready, and the works. All posts, user accounts etc will remain and shouldn't be effected.

     

    When will this happen? This weekend! YAY!

     

    Probably tomorrow at around 3pm PDT since I'll already be doing updates to my minecraft server.

     

    The downtime should only last around 10-15 minutes because I know kung-fu. Also, because I've done this change many times on many sites.

     

    Any questions can be posted in this thread. Comments can go in the shoutbox to be laughed at. Concerns can either go in the shoutbox to be ignored or posted on this thread and I may respond if I'm not bored. :p

  3. Normally there is only a few things that cause double posting. Either internet lag from you to the server, or the mysql server lagging up.

     

    I did do some updates to the main system recently that may have caused the mysql server to go ZOMG WTF BBQ and crap itself. I've looked over the forums today to see if anything has cropped up but I don't see anything double post wise so it might of filtered itself out.

     

    If not, there are a few other things I can look at, and if need be, do crap to the forum software to knock it in the butt.


  4. The shoutbox in all its awesomeness, uses an UNGODLY amount of cpu/ram to keep running as much as you bastards need it too. Simply put, it's crippling a server it shouldn't be :p

     

    I've taken offline for the next few hours (at least until early Monday morning) till I find an alternative that won't cause leakage of nasty stuff. Any questions, comments concerns or stupid crap just post on this thread. If you wish to really complain hardcore, e-mail Ty :) *runs off*


  5. As I'm making my way back through TNG, I just re-watched "Unnatural Selection" The Enterprise is trying to pin down the cause of a disease that seems to be causing rapid aging. They end up tracing it back to a genetic research lab "Darwin Station" where the scientists were attempting to genetically engineer a race of "perfect" humans. Sound a bit familiar? The only problem is, human genetic engineering has been catogorically banned since the mid 22nd century. Yet, the crew of the Enterprise barely bats an eyelid at this blatant disregard of a particularly vigorously enforced law. Any ideas on why? (Other than the obvious screw up by the writers.)

    Iconians.

     

    That is all.
