I will be upgrading this to SMF 2 in the near future.  In preparation for this, I will be deleting bot accounts and adding firewall rules to handle bot IP bans.

As of now, I have deleted all accounts with 1 post or less.  This covers that vast majority of bots but may include some legitimate accounts.  If yours was one of the legitimate ones, you'll have to make a new account.

If my beloved black & blue vL theme is gone on 2.0 someone is getting smacked.

I've already been working on the css and template files for this theme.  It's rather tedious but I'll make it work.  :)

And if that's not what you're talking about , oh well.  Plenty of scgp stuff still on here.  And if you still want more info feel free to ask, its all in my head, and in the private stuff Frost sent me about all his research ;)

If you're talking about the cdkey hash in 0x09tcp/0x40udp topic, i dont think there was ever a thread, and if there was, its good it got deleted :P

And if you continue to feel obliged, google cached a lot of the posts after jun2010 ;)

Your forum emailed me.

Did you know TriMaster was at the last MLG?  He got pretty far through the open bracket, I think someone real good ended up eliminating him.

So who annoyed thing, or did he just decide he was done hosting the forum? :(

The 1st maintenance message I saw was somthing like "I hosted it and I can unhost it" or somthing along that line.
Then some weeks later, "Moving Hosts".
Myst is hosting it now im guesing?

good job at getting the precious back up!
Shame about the theme tho, it burnz us in the eye as visualy described above. it reminds me of out side where the blinding bright stuff comes from, eeek! :D

nope skywing only redirected forum.vl.com, he still hosts the mailserver and w/e else he has on vl.com. He just needs to forward people that go to vl.com to forum.vl.com, or put back that old frontpage they used to have.

Post by: MysT_DooM on April 24, 2011, 01:46 AM
Well I've been working on the theme of this site, but than I got bored messing with the old theme. So I started on a new modern theme, while still trying to use the old vL theme's color scheme.  So  then I decided to keep going with that, since it was more fun than editing the old theme :P
Hope you guys like it.  It's still a work in progress btw. Check out the menu also, scraped together all the sections that used to be on the old frontpage of vl.com.
lmk what you think so far.

Post by: RealityRipple on April 24, 2011, 02:22 AM
Looking good, but could you make the difference between new and old threads within a forum have a little more distinction? It should be obvious in a single glance which have new posts, and right now it's not.

Post by: Invert on April 24, 2011, 05:25 PM
Myst,

The new forum theme looks very good so far.

Could you change the post author names to the same light blue as the board->category->forum tree? They're kinda hard to see.

Also, the buttons (preview/post, print/send this topic/mark unread/notify/reply) are kind of hard to see. They don't look very interactive.

Looking pretty good. :)
