So far I have imported the old posts from the Mod forum, and Tactics & Strategies forum. This week I plan on ressurecting the old General forum posts as well. That will probably be the last of them...the Clan forum was mostly filled with people advertising for Clans that don't even exist anymore, and clan flames and challenges.

Once the old General forum posts are integrated back in, we can then rebuild the search index so they will be searchable. This is a very db/network/cpu intensive process that takes literally a dozen hours.

We havn't forgotten about Avatars either. Crimson has to edit the board code to support them again (the code was ripped out initially to make these forums look exactly like the old forums), so it's not just a matter of "turning them on". I expect they will be available soon though, expect a limit on their size, something like 80x80 with an additional filesize limit. I do not yet know if you will be able to upload your own Avatars or use ones from a preselected list...Crimson can address that.

Don't even think of the useless blobs. They are 90 by 98. Anyway I doubt I want to spend a long time loading a page of 20 different useless blobs as it is.

Most likely avatars will be pre-selected from a Gallery of approved images. Since a couple immature children have posted inappropriate images, everyone must suffer until the morons get the fuck out of here.

It's not always easy to ban people, some have dynamic IPs.

I will allow people on a limited basis to use their own avatars, but I'll have to approve the image.

Yes I would rather let people choose/upload their own avatars, and have a strict policy of permanent ban the first time someone has a pornographic or otherwise offensive avatar. But like Crimson said some people, like AOL users are hard to ban because they get a new IP everytime they dialup, and you cannot ban the entire domain without affecting others.

Hopefully everyone will be responsible with the avatars and restrictions wont be necessary. We shall see.

Suppose we have an avatar already created that we would like to use. Would we be allowed to show it to an admin and if the admin approves it, use it? I don't see any flaws in a plan like that... Smile

Yes, that was already answered, in the last 3-4 posts.

Ah, didn't see Crimson post that. I just briefly skimmed down the page looking at the replies. Oh well.

I think it's mainly England that have the dynamic IPs because most of Europe use static IPs. We always have to be different from Europe Razz

Anyway about the avatars. You should use all of the 80x80 Renegade Icons that Halo and his friends converted to Jpeg. There at the Mod Exchange around 100 or so I think.

Well, if we do get avatars, I say we should have this as a limit...

Pixles: 90x90
Size: 20kb

That's what I would recommend.
