Heyhey! This is your forumaster Amelius! I'm sure you gather that from the avatar though.
I've been having the muvh fun with admintinkering with the options in the forum, I hope you like them. I added a google search thing to the bottom, so you can find stuff on the web but more specifically, within our forum! (nice huh?)
I also upped the number of threads per page and such, and the past post thingy (used to be last 10, now it's 50)
Most importantly I fixed that dastardly "admin must approve accounts before you can join" bullcrap, so now new members don't have to wait forever and a day for me to notice that new folks have signed up (woulda been nice if it had at least sent me email prompts that new members are signing up, I felt rotten when I noticed people were queued up to join). Lastly, I added another thing that I found kinda funny, but don't abuse it boys and girls. ;D you'll see it on your profiles. I'll try and get some nice graphics in here soon as well so things aren't so stuffy and texty.

Ah, that's fixed? Fwee. That's good for others... I remember it took me a few decades (slight exaggeration, but that's how it felt) to sign up... I checked back twice a day, and was almost ready to give up...  |

aw, well I'm glad you didn't give up!^_^
I have some more news, regarding Drunk duck and it's downtime. I tried to explain it before but here is some info I foundo on another forum from the guy who runs the site, Dylan: Quote: "Basically I'm leasing a new server, and Geekside is supposedly looking into the current issue ( although it's easily resolved... shouldn't take longer than a day to fix ). However, once done, all data will still need to be migrated to the new server and hopefully we will enjoy more stability... It should also have dedicated staff I can call whenever i need something fixed."
So that is what I know, Geekside hosting disbanded but DD should still be intact, if they can get everything in order. I stull have no idea how long this will take. I might post the comic I had up the day DD crashed just in case some of you missed it.

I must've been lucky. My account was approved the next day. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm deathly curious about the new profile thingy.

I don't know. Mebbe I'm just not observant. Also, what's the 'karma' thing for?

I think you give good karma to the people that you like, and bad karma to the that you dont.
Its awesome when Amelius makes an appearance. Makes me want to repent my forum sins and appologize for any rudeness or wrong doings.

hah, I realized I typed "foundo". I like that word now...
Yep, that's the thing on the profile, karma. I thought it would be in good fun to add, I found my adminty toolbox and was having fun in it.
I think youse got approved right away because it was still on the default, didn't you join just before the forum upgraded? Because when it came back, I wasn't aware it had defaulted to that and just found out how to undo it yesterday 0_o

The forum looks really good!
How exactly does the karma thing work...can you either exalt or smite once a day?

It's once every something, anyway... I exalted Ly a while ago, the option turned off, and only just came back.

I figured it was something like that. For discovering it, you get exalted. ^-^

Ohhhhh, so then 'smite' must take Karma away? Niftiness.
I like the new header pic, Amelius.

Well, this was a nice surprise. Though you can't read the text on the google search bar, the one that's next to the radio buttons.
I like this karma thing. It's a nice addition, and I'm quite curious as to how you made it. There never was any kind of thing like that when I once had one of these forums.
Well anyways. To the profile. >:3

I think you give good karma to the people that you like, and bad karma to the that you dont. Last I checked, karma are good/bad vibes you accumulate to yourself, especially in your dealings with others. That way, good things happen to good people and bad things happen to jerks. Personally, I get weird in and out, so it'sprobably a bit runny that way. |

Don't be so picky.. P; It works.

Yeah, you've got karma right, but this still works. When someone is nice to you, you give them good karma, when someone is mean, they get karma taken away. It's the same basic deal

But to get forum-karma (as opposed to real life karma) you need an account!
I don't know how fair it will be...I'm still looking for regular posters who don't have any yet to exalt. (I hate people being left out!) Being a regular, or semi-regular poster here is a good reason, isn't it?
So, Otyo, I exalt you!

She already has. P:
Thank you for the exalt, Delta.

Lazukas: Someone might've been just testing to see if you could go into negatives... I'll exalt you to bring you to zero, if you like...

I also like how it's not that plain black and white generic style now.
