Is it just me or are the boards here a little basic? You can get free php templates from www.phpbb.com

I am planning on re-coding a good chunk of the board code within the next month or so... so exactly what features do you like that the other boards have, but this board doesn't?

Basic/simple isn't always a bad thing...

I reakon eith two boards (one for scripting / development, and one for playhelp in the various dmods), OR a feature where when you post, you put it under one of these two categories, and then viewers can set which filter they want to use.

Apart from that, i think this board is just fine!

I'm a man, but I can change, if I have to.I guess.

That isn't in my control... its a Gamespy-mandated limit that prevents them from getting DOS-ed. The way the 'new' board will be set-up though... the cookie should never get too big.

Just so you know, some of that's already in place. In threaded mode, posts aren't bumped, and in non-threaded mode, posts are displayed consecutively in one page. We do have that "Change Preferences" link, ya know.

Yeah, what Tal said... except I'd like to add one minor detail:

Sigs will never, ever appear on these boards, unless I suddenly 'see the light', and somehow see them as being good. As I currently consider sigs the hellspawn of the Devil himself... I don't think that will happen any time soon.

"...the Devil himself..."

I thought you knew that my mom is the devil?

Hrm. And I guess that would make me hellspawn.

Bwaha!!
