Re: Forum Down Time
 

I think it is a great idea to have a dedicate site for uploading and downloading things. I was just saying that I also felt that having them on the forum was big bonus. Things do change, and I am all for improving the forum, the site, and shrapnels bottom line. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Shrapnels reputation is growing as more and more people are becoming aware of the fine games they offer.

How many of you have a SEIV mouse pad? I do. How about the commerative print? I don't have that.

I am not much in to "accessorizing" my games. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Re: Forum Down Time
 

Change is good, as long as my avatars survive the upgrade. Speaking of avatars, I wonder if Shrapnel would like to make them available for the general masses in all the other forums? (Of course only the non-reserved avatars should/would be available to the public.)

What do you all think?

Cheers! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

I think that is a great idea David. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif I hope shrapnel agrees.

Actually I have wanted to ask you about that for a long time, but it will take some work to do.

Actually bandwidth is not an issue, between our two servers we have 2 Terabyte a month of bandwidth available before we hit usage charges.

The problem is the board solution is not perfect, it does not really allow the features that a good download/upload manager should allow for.

If I had the time I would just write it myself, but again we have other options in the works.

You could snag the downloads module out of a Nuke portal such as PHP Nuke. Not entirely sure of the "legal" issues, but they are released under GPL for free public use...

Re: Forum Down Time
 

No offense but phpnuke is a nightmare to work with, if you want to do more than just use the standard mods. Actually if I went that route I would probably uss stock phpbb and use it's mods, or something like ezportal or mx-system. But I think our eventual solution will make more sense.
