Well avoid searching YouTube for Halo 3 ODST Achievements and you should be safe

I do too, he ruined the game for alot of us, and completely got a good site shut down (whether or not it was his in the first place).

I mod the 360 and it's games, but I would never mod a game that isn't released, that's just 100% retarded.

Well, not publicly share/leak the information about it. Modding is supose to be fun, your bringing more fun to games and leaking achievements may be fun for some and cool for others, but it mainly hurt Bungie's new game (in a way) and to other modders that believe what I just said, it makes him out to be

100% retarded

I naturally don't join a site if they have less than 1000 members, since it just doesn't appeal to me. However, your argument is good. If we ever get 30,000+ members I think I would prune by then, I think establishing a member count is important until you hit a certain limit, because that is what some people look for when joining a site.

Just thought of this; Another thing you could try is to move all inactive members to an inactive group. Then whenever someone from the inactive posts anywhere from 1-5 times they will be upgraded to a normal member again. This way you can keep all your members but still weave out the ones who no longer come to the site, ones who have 0 posts, and/or ones who have not been active sense x day. I use to have a similar system on a old site I use to Co-Manage.

Also, I forgot that with pruning comes member ID confusion. So I think you should at least think about what I put above, it would be good way of showing the completely inactive members compared to active, and casual members.

I hate deleting members until were a very successful site, because member count is what separates some sites at this point.

No, active members is what separates sites. You can have a site from 2002 with over 30,000+ members but if only 50 or so are active and posting whats the point? You having a bigger number then a competitor is not always good. I take it sarcasm from DS, so to Smoke why would you want members that just troll and don't post or don't give anything at all to the community and just leach? You wouldn't want 5,000 people that just walk around your store and never buying anything, would you?

I agree, it is much needed. I enabled it at 9,000, someone disabled it >.>.....


Btw, can you make EVERY CURRENT MEMBER validate their email? (Somehow)

or prune members with 0 posts?

Yup here you go.

...Firefox doesn't work on my computer
...with Internet Explorer

You should try Google Chrome. It is that fastest browser I've tried and run it on my machine along side Firefox. Plus it gets 100/100 on the Acid3 Test.

You do know half of the IPB 3 Support Team would agree with me right?

Agree with you on what? That it has social features? Cool, what social features do you mean? Also they would not agree with you that their software is like MySpace or Facebook. I know quite a few people on the IPB3 core build team along with the main people who work on all the graphics for IPB3 (Blog, Downloads, etc) none of them would compare this to MySpace. If you could please tell me which social features you are talking about then maybe I can understand you and/or agree, but just saying it has social features like is not going to help me.

...ability to hook into points of code without any file edits.
...All buttons are CSS not images

I love that about the file edits and mods, again one of the features I truely like.
The buttons not being images and CSS can really be considered good or bad. I don't know how flexible they made it with that, but I know alot of websites that have special wants for their add reply, closed, new topic, etc. buttons that would other wise look bad if you used just normal text.

IPB 3 has the features of a social networking site which is good for a site like this. IPB 2 is for sites that like to just have a forum. IPB 3 has turned into a new forum version of MySpace and Facebook. I love that. So IPB 3 all the way.

Usually I'm one against ragging on others opinions and views, but khaos honestly do you even see what you just posted. How would you compare IPB3 (forum software) to that of MySpace and Facebook? These features of a social site your talking about are what? There really is nothing big on the features of IPB3 s compared to IPB2. They have just took the same stuff and added Java and AJAX. Signing in with OpenID/Facebook is more of a ease of access then a social feature.

I see nothing of value in ipb3, other than eye candy.

Exactly.

---------------

If I would compare the way I saw IPB2 as to IPB3 it would be like this:

IPB2 is Windows XP
IPB3RC2 is Windows Vista
IPB3 Final MAY be like Windows 7

In the end, I find no real reason to upgrade other than to get alot of eye candy and maybe a few cool features here and there.

Dark, why not try to do what this guy did with IE, I think the app would come off alot less sketchy.

So um, guys don't hate me if I don't make a dark skin. IPB3 is a bit overwhelming and yeah. :/ If it means anything to you there are quite a bit of skins in the works my a few friends of mine that will be released soon, some free and some that cost, and yes dark skins too. So yeah Still look forward to what comes in the future, with this being IPB Release Candidate 2, I'd expect IPB3's official release quite soon.

You should ask diet to redo his skin for this new board, I think he would.

I need someone to get me IPB3 so I can install it (locally) and see what has changed to make another skin. I asked a bud of mine and he said skinning IPB3 is a lot different then IPB2. I'd be glad to make another skin though, have a few ideas, if someone can get me IPB3 send me a pm. I'd buy but hah, I have about 10 "house" things I need to buy before I can worry about internet website stuff lol.

Also peaches & anyone who cares, IPB3 works great in Google Chrome too and from what I can notice, is a lot faster in Chrome then Firefox.

Update seems great, I've notice a few problems here and there but it's to expect.

Also from what I remember when I tested the beta a few months back the animations are amazing. Like when you click fast reply it doesn't just appear, it sort of fades.

I also think that default skin is nice, but it could use some tuning. Maybe we can edit it with our custom images for each forum, etc.

IPB3 is very AJAXed up.

Great tutorial try making a video. I'm going to do this as soon as my dad mails me my xsata.

No, if you can't follow the tutorial above and need a video then you don't need to be doing this.

Anyways, another online site you can use to get the colors is http://colorpicker.com/ (I find this one easier)

Your welcome. <3
