Please read: Shuttin' it down


Gonna close the boards for a software update one night this week. Probably Thursday around 8:30 Eastern. If all goes well, it'll only be an hour or two. If all goes REALLY well, all these spam posts will be a thing of the past. Word.




If I fail math, there goes my chance at a good job and a happy life full of hard work.

Instead of shutting it down, you should be Bringing it Down!!!

^^^^^^ Que JUDGE on the ipod. Thanks for that. It's been a while since rocking some JUDGE. Great tunes to motivate.

Wow we're screwed right now, that's a lot of spam lol



A lot of people ask me what kind of music I like. I love "soul music". My "soul music" isn’t a style, genre or niche. It’s music that is genuine. It’s a painful lyric, a dirty bassline, it’s a harrowing vocal, it’s feedback, it’s an anthem, it’s a love song, it’s anarchy. I’ve got my personal favourites but in the end it doesn’t matter who or where it comes from... so long as it’s good and it's real.

OK, we're back and the board software has been updated. Ran into a small issue during the process that caused the delay, but we're all sorted. 24 hours isn't bad!

The default install of the software doesn't add much new in the way of spam protection, but there are two new hacks that do. The first is already installed - all new user registrations will need to be approved by an admin before the user can post. I'll probably shut down again in a few days to install the second hack which puts all posts from new member in a queue until they are approved by an admin. Kinda sucks for legit new members and definitely requires extra legwork from your faithful admins, but between the two, there should be a significant reduction in spam posts.

If you notice anything not working correctly, just let me know and I'll look into it.

when i changed my username years ago, i did it directly in the database which, apparently, circumvented the three-character minimum built into xmb. i wouldn't have been able to register that name directly, but the last version let me login with it, regardless.

that actually wound up being the problem over the weekend. you have to login w/ a super admin account as part of the the upgrade process and script wouldn't let me since two-character usernames are prohibited. oops.
