Update Information, What got updated? Options

[GJ]

As some of you have noticed, I've made some updates to the forum.

UPDATES:
------------------------------------------------------
+ Installed a Portal.
+ Installed 3 new skins.
- They still need to be adjusted to work with the portal, but they work perfectly on the board itself.
+ Added a subforum in Topic Archive to keep Spam topics and normal topics a part
- Posts in this part of the topic archive aren't added to user postcount, because they're spam topics.
+ Posts in Spam section aren't added to user post count.
+ Recounted user posts.
+ Installed the Crystal Ranks
-----------------------------------------------------

So long as you dont delete Star, Squeaks or Leizel I dont care. Btw GJ we need some tekkaman blade skins here.

[GJ]

They'll be save I'll just increase their postcount to a level above the deletion level.

And about the skins, I ain't a designer so if anyone is interested to create a skin please contact me.

[Tekno-Crystal]

I like the skins . I'm using Reverb right now. All we need now is to get our banner back.

[GJ]

Yeah I know, I can replace it, but if someone would create a repeating bg image for it I'll replace the IPB header

NOTE: Just changed the groups as well They're more TB now

[GJ]

All 0 posters have been deleted

[Kane]

.............. you deleted Leizel GJ........

[GJ]

From what I remember that account got deleted in the previous purge.

[GJ]

I made some further changes:

- Changed the names of the groups.
- Changed the ranking system; You need more posts for the higher ranks, when user postcount reaches 3500 you can set you own membertitle.
- Purged 32 users.
- Max avatar size: 100x100; Auto resize off.
- Changed online list from 15 to 5 min; Searchengine Bots are now shown.
- Members must now valididate their account, so a correct email address is needed.
- Activated anti-bot option when registering.
- Placed the TM FAQ in the FAQ.

So that leaves me with the question: Should I password protect the FTP Section, so people won't register only to send server owners PMs with unban/private account/give anime requests?

I don't know why you bothered with that. No one will ever reach a count like that.

Oh, and explain how password-protecting the FTP forum protects the servers from the onslaught of leeching fuckwits. It may just be because it's late, but I don't see how it would work in practice.

Edit: Submitted too soon. Fucking buttons.

does this mean you have to type a password every time you want to visit the FTP section?

[GJ]

Yes, it'll ask for the password every time you want to enter it.

[TeknomanFan]

i'm against it then,

people who just are here to get info on where to download or sortlike requests won't be scared of by this.

It will just be a burden to the forum regulars.

[GJ]

New updates:

- Added a group for regulars.
- Made the FTP Section only accessable for the following groups:
- Regulars
- Admins
- Moderatos
- People will be added to the regular group when they reach 100 posts.

[TeknomanFan]

about the new pinned topic:

aren't we already flooding in pinned topics there?

can't we merge it with the FTP server rules-mirc guide topic.

just a thought, wanna know what you think of it.

[GJ]

Merged the threads and updated some of the links in the rules

[TeknomanFan]
