A'ight... Here's the News of the Site...

[Damocles]

I've made some updates... I made the Blue Style the Default style... If you'd like the Old Style it can be selected down below under "Old Style"...

[BRUTALITOPS]

annnnd what about the others? :p

[Damocles]

annnnd what about the others? :p

I'm getting there... The problem is getting the right names and right pictures in the right files... Give me some time I'm a n00b at this level.

[IHateGovernment]

Wow it hurt my eyes when I first logged in. Oh well I just changed it back.

[Damocles]

For me it is all the white that hurt my eyes. I had to change it to something a little more toned down from that and I made it the default so when I was testing things and deleted cookies I got this one first.

[Damocles]

If you want to change it permanently you change it in your User CP...

[BRUTALITOPS]

don't feel bad, it's decent.

[Damocles]

I am working on building a "War Zone" where users can request an area to do direct Battle in.

My goal is to make it so they can:

1. Request and give power to a Debate Moderator who will ask the questions.
2. Set a time limit on responses.
3. Allow access to only the Warriors selected for the Battle...
4. Allow all users to read, but not take part in the Battle.

So far I can:

1. Create an area that only users I call Warriors can access...

Looking into the rest before I make the War Zone...

[IHateGovernment]

Good idea

[Cypress]

Whew....that blue hurts my eyes.

[Damocles]

Whew....that blue hurts my eyes.

So change it in your User CP back to Old Style...

[OrnotBitwise]

So change it in your User CP back to Old Style...I already did, but you'll be hearing from my lawyer about the psychological damage you've caused.

:shock:

Actually, I got the idea from the Above Top Secret forums...

If you look back you will find that I was one of the first to suggest it for your site.

whatever you say Damo. lol Ive pushed your site on fullpolitics, im one of your top posters here.

i guess we can expect issue voting here soon too? a SC in the works? editorials? vote tracking? election tracking? you gonna wait around for me to develop stuff or propose it, see what the response is, then add it over here?

just curious?

might want to change the domain to justlikefullpolitics.com .

No, I like joke trolls... and don't want them to "vote" on something important.

Anyway, go and look up Above Top Secret... Check it out. Tens of thousands of members, been around for years. I am a member there... Check into their Poli site and see if I'm lying. I like the debate area.

But it's all good.

We both plug each others sites. I enjoy your site. I just wanted to make one of my own.

[Damocles]

Since I cannot be on the site all the time I have enlisted the aid of a member to help me out. Beefy is the new site Moderator and can help enforce the rules and keep the peace...

Thank you, Beefy!

You have given me some great ideas there, Grind.

[Damocles]

I'd also like to thank Dix for some Headers to try out. The first one has been loaded and is working as I type...

[BRUTALITOPS]

You have given me some great ideas there, Grind.

what?

[Damocles]

what?

Like a chat room... I'm still thinking about it, but I'm definitely giving it though.

[Damocles]

And you gave me a couple skins to try... I haven't loaded them yet but I'm getting there.

[BRUTALITOPS]

sssh sr will get to it first and then say he invented chatrooms.

[BRUTALITOPS]

though my sad face was over the fact that moderation sucks :p

[Damocles]

Yeah, but we were getting somebody that was doing the "post a huge ass file in the middle of a thread" trick and another who was doing other things to mess with the site.

[BRUTALITOPS]

Yes but frankly, I think everyone being armed with the ignore feature is all you really need. If it bothers people that much, an individual using the ignore feature is essentially issuing a personal ban.

But you know what? Most sites have moderation, so whatever... I dont' like it but so be it.

Grind had his webcam on when he read this thread. Just wanted everyone to see what the yahoo does when he doesnt get his way on a message board.

SR

[BRUTALITOPS]

sr, damo and I are getting along just fine.

[BRUTALITOPS]

kinda funny though you would keep bringing this stuff up sr, especially with all your "don't make it like fullpolitics, this should be the family playground" bullshit you are spewing.

"Hey damo man what are you doing? Are you adding a header?? MY site has a header! This is supposed to be the family playground! Stop copying me!"

"hey damo are you making your board more streamlined and simple? I invented that! You should add a whole buntch of shit that no one needs or will ever read!"

etc . . .

That's pretty hysterical.

[Damocles]

Another new Default Skin... This one hurts my eyes even less. The others are still available to select in your UserCP..

[Care4all]

I personally prefer the "old style"...but thank you fo rthe choice!

[klaatu]

I like this new one ... . I'll probably use this ....

It's definitely my favorite. The calmer colors help my eyes...

[OrnotBitwise]

Calmer? Those colors hurt your eyes less? I think you must see in a different part of the spectrum than I do.

Damo's a pod-person! Or maybe a Martian. :eek:

Oh well; to each their own.

Grey isn't calmer than white or light blue? Methinks I am not the pod-person...

[BRUTALITOPS]

don't listen to him damo, after you updated the buttons this looks pretty slick. I like it a lot. Though maybe it would be cool to have alternating colors (i.e. dark gray light gray) throughout the thread.. but it's still really good right now.

[Damocles]

I'm hoping it translates over when I upgrade. The newest release has come out and I'm going to update the whole site sometime this weekend...

[OrnotBitwise]

And speaking of that upgrade, you mentioned that the site will be down again on Saturday (8/5). Any notion as to when, exactly? It's not a big deal, of course, but wanting minds inquire to know . . . .

I'm going to try to do it as late as possible. But I can't know when that will be. I want the impact to be as minimal as possible.

'SOkay. I know how that goes.

Hey, by that time I should be at the Giants game anyway. :cool:

[Generic]

So, here are some of the new features with the new stuff...

There is a mutli-quote feature. In the Black it is listed as M-Quote and M-Quote ON when you selected it... In the Old Style and The Blue it is the little box with the quotes and the plus sign..

There is also a feature that will add a link to the post a quote comes from that will take you to that post....


We'll figure other ones out as we go along! Enjoy, the board is back up...

[Damocles]

By the Way... It appears as if I will not need to take the site down tomorrow at all... The full upgrade has been installed, as long as it keeps running this smoothly I can see no reason to shut the site down again...

LOL. Hey! That's private... :D

[Damocles]

Has anybody noticed the "related links" at the bottom of each thread?...

[Damocles]

Aaaaargh, I broke the Currently Active Users display.... I'll work on fixing it as I go...

[Damocles]

Whew... Fixed.

[Damocles]

Okay, I have fixed it so that more than one debate can happen at a time and eliminated the need for the time limit in one fell swoop. Later, after we have gotten used to the numerical IDs I can allow users to create their own debate threads for themselves and whomever they wish to be allowed into the thread...

I hope you all enjoy this new feature. IH8 and H2O have agreed to be the first debate tomorrow. I have already created their thread and they may now begin their debate at any time. The debate will continue until the Debators have agreed that the debate has ended, or after one week... Whichever comes first!
