ken_cinder Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 Screw this whole "upgrade" crap with Invision...Invision has become a piece of twisted swiss cheese for security bloatware that causes problems for PAYING customers like yourself. I say we go PHPBB, since 3 came out it's been leaps and bounds ahead of Invision...and it's free. I'd gladly handle getting it all setup, and migrating the database. If you would like I could do a test setup on my own host, and get everything to where it should be before implementing it here.

Cinder is a long serving member Gamecop why not allow it?You sure you can handle this Cinder? Im pretty sure there will be some bad ass lines of code to edit.Lord snow is also a whizz with this stuff, maybe its time some fresh blood came in?
Lucandrake Posted October 15, 2011 Posted October 15, 2011 It's because he's from Canada. Gamecop only trusts those who are AMERICAN.

Agozer Posted October 15, 2011 Posted October 15, 2011 Everybody knows that GameCop hails from Easter Island. Finicky Interwebs and all. ALSO: Tiki Heads

I've handled larger projects than a simple forum, and am more than capable of handling this. The only real work would be database migration, which even if I imported tables by hand would be a job of less than an hour. My little "store" in my sig alone incorporates several mods, a few of which I wrote myself that aren't apparent outside the admin side of things. I might take some time today to set things up on my host.
emsley Posted October 15, 2011 Author Posted October 15, 2011 Id support you threw it cinder, you got my vote.PM the Cop.
emsley Posted October 15, 2011 Author Posted October 15, 2011 DOOO IT!!!! DO IIITTTT! COME ON IM HERE KILL ME NOW!!!
ken_cinder Posted October 15, 2011 Posted October 15, 2011 I'm working on it right now...I'll PM him when I'm done.
ken_cinder Posted October 15, 2011 Posted October 15, 2011 Ok basic layout is set, I didn't add our emulator forums as I'm not certain what we're still supporting, I moved some stuff around and actually even added forums to the manufacturer specific forums.Spam forum isn't there, and neither are staff forums...I couldn't see the point in spending my time adding them to a "test".Oh and it's the default skin, and no specific images from here...that can wait. http://dyedparts.co.cc/forums/ Feel free to sign up and test things out, but just remember that the database there will be purged and have nothing to do with the one here, it is just a test. I'd like to see an Attack/RPG system back as well as the arcade, and could implement both...but again, not putting time into that unless Gamecop was interested in me doing the work. Edit: Another thing I'd have to implement is the portal...not a problem, but again not something I'm going to spend time on without a green light.

If the cop aint gonna green light it we might be pissing in the wind i think you did a good job to be fair man.
ken_cinder Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 I sent him off a PM letting him know about it, we'll see what his thoughts are. I've got an arcade mod and portal sitting here waiting to go if he does want to go forward. The one cool thing about the arcade mod, is it supports ALL the major forum software mod formats for flash arcade games, ie; all the games we had here could be installed if someone still has the packages, and numerous other ones as well. Forum attack system? DEFINITELY possible...the real problem is theres too freaking many types, right up to full on RPG mods. I'll have to go through them all and find the most developed ones and do a comparison to see what would be best. Again...that all depends on if Gamecop is willing to proceed.
