The Flood / Re: Six reasons murder should be legalised

It sort of reminds me of the George Carlin bit where he talks about infinite rights vs no rights.

The Flood / Re: I'm seriously fed up with #Offtopic /rant
« on: July 30, 2014, 03:18:48 PM »
It seems like all of them have no understanding of compassion, logic or common sense.

It has probably been like this all the time and I'm only noticing now because I'm taking part in political threads more often but it's annoying me and giving me a headache. They bother themselves with things that effect in no way, shape, or form for example homosexuality. If someone is gay how hard is it to accept that and leave it?? It doesn't me nor does it effect you. Also regarding the whole Palestine and Israel situation but lets not get into that.

Ehh don't even want to go on but yeah. Retards gon' retard. Going to try and keep away from #Offtopic as much as possible to be honest.
Another (slightly different) thing I've noticed about them and the rest of the forums there in general is their blind loyalty to the Bungie forums.

Some of them are straight-up offended anyone would dare go to a different forum. I think someone even told me that I should basically weather the storm and keep posting there, even though it's not fun to do so, the forum is laggy, and the brightness is way too harsh.

It kind of reminded me of how people acted with Halo 3 and the Recon armor. Maybe it has to do with that "Mentor" rank or something?

At least until the next horrible thing happens. Whatever that may be...
Why does this place keep getting shut down?
Because it's the alpha and shit happens.

This particular scenario shouldn't happen again, though.

Even with the problems this place runs better than bnet.
And you are not forced to burn your retinas.

 it's not that bad.  some one came out with a dark theme.
It's got more bugs than this one, though. Replies take a couple seconds to open and sometimes they duplicate themselves.

And the forum bar/image at the top is a nightmare when you scroll the page.

The Flood / Re: So it turns out Rose was my impersonator
« on: July 30, 2014, 02:34:56 PM »
Did you have alts on b.net in order to avoid bans? I find it to be much more difficult to impersonate a user if they do not have a bunch of alts. I have my main that is four years old, and my alt that is almost seven. My older account I lost the password to a long time ago, and most people on b.net that know me are aware that I only have those two accounts. I have noticed at least two accounts try to impersonate me, but they failed pretty quick.

Sorry to hear about them still doing it to you. It is truly pathetic when other people develop an obsession for you over the internet. I am still dealing with Ktan's unhealthy obsession with me.
I think Ktans unhealthy obsession with you stems from his own inability to accept his sexuality. He hates on any lgbt member because it makes him feel like he can hide himself. It's sad really, I dunno if I should feel sorry for him or not.
Isn't this the guy who made an invisionfree forum to go up against this one?

I play ROMs of them on my phone. I haven't played pokemon on an actual Nintendo product in a while.
I play them on my iPad and it's amazing. 8)

You should permanently disable the notification system if someone can use it to spam and get the website taken down.
It is. The one that is still here (those popups that fade away) has nothing to do with the emails and cannot be exploited in order to crash the site.

No need. I'll just edit it in since the stuff I wanted to change is at very end.

Do mods still get emails for reported posts or no?
That should be disabled as well. It's a bummer, I know, but it would be a vulnerability if some asshat decided to try to sink the forum.

You will still get the link at the top (or should). If this is causing issues I'll investigate a fix.

EDIT: Yeah, that's still working. We should be fine.

I'm still getting notifications when I turned them off in the settings.
Emails?
No, the side notifications that pop up then go away >.>
Oh, good. That's a fucking relief, to be honest (and they cannot be disabled by users yet).

Those are perfectly OK. They were never what made the site poop itself.
Ohhh, I thought it was the side notifications that were going away 3
We all good den!
No. They sent me the messages that were doing it. It was about a bajillion "Blablah has posted in this thread..." emails.

I was 'for-real' getting a headache from surfing Bnet so often yesterday when the site was down.
Should have gone to the shelter forum.
I just sent him the link today. lol >.<

We have a shelter forum?
Yes. I'm not sure if it's cool to post it publicly, though.

Hold control down and hit F5 on the pages you're seeing the nonsense. If that doesn't work let me know.

Hard refresh and clear your cache. I have a feeling I should add this to the update thread.

The Flood / Re: Religion/Politics Forum
« on: July 30, 2014, 12:22:49 PM »
It could be a good idea in order to quarantine the political and religious flame wars but it might need more moderation than the other forums.
That's one of my concerns. It would need to have stricter posting policies than The Flood, since it's so easy to incite a riot in those kinds of threads.
Why does it matter if there's flaming in that section, though? If it were to be made, the reason would be to separate the flamers from the rest of the community, and anyone going into that forum should know what they're getting into. Bothering with extra moderation wouldn't make much sense. Just allow it to be a cesspool for the sake of the other forums.
Not gonna happen. If (and probably when) the forum is made, it'll be heavily moderated. Heated discussions will be expected and allowed, but namecalling and insult flinging will earn you 1, 3, or 7 day bans without warning.

It goes to the Fat Cow site problem but I'll try to get a pic.

News / Here's Why The Site Was Down
« on: July 30, 2014, 11:47:38 AM »

Here's what happened (for anyone who cares):

We are a larger community than most forums (excluding the commercial forums like this one; of course they're enormous; that's not my point). The notifications option that was toggled spat out "Your thread was commented in by..." posts like nobody's business continuously, day in day out, and the host tagged it as spam, locked the account, and logged it in a support ticket.

Of course it wasn't spam, but they didn't know that. I resolved the issue and I am currently waiting for it to be turned back on. When it is, the site will be in maintenance mode while I disable email notifications and daily email reports and the like.
In response to this, I have sabotaged most of the email functionality of the site. You shouldn't get new notifications and you certainty shouldn't be able to subscribe to anything else. If you can, please, please go to your profile >> Modify Profile >> Notifications and uncheck everything. The on-site notifications that pop up will still work even with these disabled, so you won't be stuck with nothing.

Getting the fatcow page on certain items?
Clear your cache and do a hard refresh. It's all good server side.

I'll have an explanation up in a little bit, but I need you do do a few things for me.

Go into your profile and select Modify Profile >> Notifications. Unnotify yourselves of anything in there. Anything.

I believe I have sufficiently sabotaged the file that sends emails out for notifications, but it's always good to be thorough. You should also be unable to notify yourself of any more topics. Let me know if that's not the case, please.

And PLEASE let me know if you get any more emails AT ALL from this forum.

Thanks.

UPDATE: I've gone through the memberlist and removed all notifications from all members. This shouldn't happen again.

If I hadn't already heard of this movie I would have thought it was fake. It reminds me of the Human Centipede.
