I enjoy reviewing the play by forum games, its a great way to learn and see how others implement strategies and deal with bad dice rolls. I am still somewhat unfamiliar with this site and its sometimes not easy to deduce what game and version of the rules are being used. Could there by a seperate forum or sub-forum for each of the games which would then link to the legacy games or provide a new home for play by forum games. I guess a better question is, is it worth the work I ask? Thanks in advance!
So, uh, about the new forums …

Keep the in-house dice roll system and otherwise do as you wish (but keep the dicey :wink:)

I don’t want to lose my patron tag! Or my avatar! Guess I can re-upload the latter…
Just soon please.
I get banned 3 times a day.

you wont don’t worry. Nobody will lose anything of the sort. The site appreciate’s the contribution very much!

You may not have the patron badges out of the gate. Vanilla Forums don’t have a badge plugin yet so I might have to build it.
The temporary solution is that you will see your name on every page of the forum as a gold patron. It would be with the ads on the right side.

There are a few threads about this already. The gist is that this forums software is steaming pile.
Issues:
- People are frequently unable to register.
- The forum inexplicable bans users for no reason.
- Spam controls are non-existant.
- Can’t ban users because the update query causes table locks on tables causing the entire site to freeze up and give 50x errors.
- The code base is a mish mash of crap. Mods are not plugins, they are modifications to the code base of the forum. This makes things VERY fragile.
Vanilla Forums is a Web 2.0 refresh to the idea of the forum. It keeps everything you need, removes the rest, and gives more integration with social networks.

So no more 15 second rants about having to wait 15 seconds to post the next set of dice?

Excuse my ignorance if this is not possible couldn’t you use most of the code from this dicey and only edit the parts relating to the vanilla forums site?

Clearly, if that was possible, he would do that.
Your IGNORANCE is Excused. :P
Sorry I had to fox :P
