hehe you might have point there with the attack game thing. B) My gaming forum is almost ALL guys. I'm one of three gals there. I have this mod installed to my forum as well, and they're certainly enjoying thunking the hell out of each other with it.

I think they keep saying that to you because you're different from THEM.

That's because each sub domain has a separate subset of tables. So what that means is that the search function will only search the tables related to that particular subdomain. The only table set that is the same throughout the archive is the member table at this point in time. So, the SHORT answer is at this point in time, no, it's not a possibility. HOWEVER, it IS something that's being addressed for later.

What does everyone say to broadening it downward another level or two? It's currently set to where you may NOT attack anyone more than two levels below, I was thinking of making that 4. Dunno for sure though, would like your input.

I'm with DarkInuLord, I hate summertime. I can always dress warmer in the winter. But, once the heat hits a certain point, I'm utterly miserable. Now, there are benefits to living a bit further south from where I grew up (just outside of Chicago), in that the weather is a TAD milder here. Although, this latest front that moved in was interesting. Went from thunderstorms and twisters, to snow with ALOT of wind. Almost no snow to speak of though, dammit.

So everyone knows, I'm not in the habit of booting users for inactivity. Forum usage is different from user to user, and not everyone is going to be in here every day, every week, or even every month.

Do you remember anything else about it? Like main pairings, side pairings, that sort of thing? As memory serves, there are a fair few with Legolas being sent on political errands

So, anyone else with any ideas as for this? If you're not sure what I'm looking at with having second and third sets of rankings, what that entails is either having different pip sets for those ranks, or increasing the number of pips up to 15, depending on the level of posting.

Okay, after seeing NUMEROUS posts about this, thought I'd let you know we are looking into how it could possibly be done. There are a number of ways it can be accomplished, but they are TRICKY at best. So, what I'm saying is don't look for such a thing immediately, or even in the near future. In the meantime, you can actually start a topic (in the right forum) for your story, with your review responses. Also, you can use the forum for PMs (for those registered in forum) and private emailing. In any case, one of things we've been looking at, which is WHY it is a long term project, is a way to bridge the two applications. Use the built in functions of the the one to serve the other, yet keeping them pretty much standalone. By doing that, we hope to make it so that those who choose not to join a discussion board don't necessarily have to, as a discussion board isn't necessarily for everyone. Bearing that in mind, there are certain parts of the board that are open to guest posting for a REASON. Most especially the support forums and the bug tracker. I've never seen the need to force someone to create a login for something, especially if they're only using it every once in a great while, such as for support questions or posting a bug report. In any case, what I'm getting at, is that these requested changes you have made are a LONG way off. They're going to require a fair bit of research and experiment on our parts, and I'm sure you'd rather the experimentation did not take everything offline because of a mistake. So, that will be done offsite, where it will not affect either the archive or the forum. There is much more to it than making an edit in a php file, what you've been asking of us. There's a fair bit of database and table manipulation and integration as well. That can get very tricky, and has to be done VERY carefully, so as to not crash either software module.

I don't believe we're using that anymore, to be honest.

No zombie status available, unfortunately.

COMPLETELY agree with ya there.

I WISH we would get more than a sprinkling and actually keep it.

it takes up to two hours to autorevive. It's kind of a random thing, it'll either take one hour, or a bit more, but nor more than two. Depends on what the module decides.

It satisfies my curiosity.

Nope. I have my opinions on it, of course, but choose to keep 'em private.

I've only been on an admin/mod end here for a short time (since Septemberish), but have been READING here for years. So, while I certainly don't have the history that Beth does with AFF, I also would like to express my appreciation of you all as well .

Thanks. What kinds of questions did you have?

Done. And, as I said, you don't have to have a forum membership to belong to the archive. They are separate programs. Aside from that, there are plenty of areas open for guest posting/viewing etc. In the end, it's up to the USER where they want to play in any given site, you know.

hehe, this has to do with php, sql, and relational databasing in general. That kind of coding.... Comparatively, html is EASY
