I decided to tell you all of the hardships of doing this site 
Starring: Me, and Shadow Paladin.
Intially, we were planning to remake the forums, because they were so bugged.
So, off we went. I starting trying combinations of mods, then I realized, we could accually adapt a BETTER download database in with the forums. I came to realize that we'd have half the site in one skin, and the rest of it in another. That was just lame.
I figured, why not integrate the whole site with the boards?
So off I went. First, we were planning a greenish layout (screenshot attached, see bottom). Which most of you know of. I thought to myself, that I would never like it. Its dull and dark. Who the hell wants that.
I spent ages with 3d studio max one day, and managed to make the shape you see at the top in the header. With a few edits with photoshop, it became our new header.
I changed everything for MAXIMUM convinence.
Everything is easier to use and idiot proof.
While I was doing this, Paladin worked MANY hours to take all of the content into where it should go.
With our combined effort, we finished the site.
Oh wait thats not all
I had to transfer all the old forum data into this. Did you know it accually timed out (more than 300 seconds) the first time I did it? I had to split the transfer into 2 parts.
Anyways, next priorities: Finish up RPG (summons) and get to mapping!

Good job getting the 
smiley back.
Now try having post editing work. Goddamn, why do you put in all this fancy crap if you ruin the basic functions?!

The post editing should work. I took out most of the fancy crap if you accually noticed.

Lies. You added more "fancy" crap.

Most of it is easy fancy crap like this.
All the simple crap that breaks things (i.e. multi file upload) is gone.

So we have less fancy crap now? I don't see a whole lot of a difference, except bigger menu above reply... Yarr...
btw I'd suggest putting all those graphical thingies into one drop-down menu. Make it look neater.

Hmm...hopefully, the new forum will hold up for some time. I say that Yoshi should start fiddling with it, and try to make it more interesting.
Actually, the most interestig thing is timing how long before something goes horribly horribly wrong when Yoshi starts playing around. (j/k)

Ahh the truth hurts sometimes. Not as much as jumping on a bike with no seat... but it still hurts...

Or offending Yoshi. Which means spamming in his topics.
So Yoshi, what mapping are you doing right now? Other then the Matrix RPG.
