Oh wait It's 2.0.
Also I still can edit posts anymore. Guess it doesn't matter at this point.
Yeah 1.0 was all my and Focnr’s work and 2.0 was mostly Isara (I helped but still…).

At this point every user has been invited. If you did not get an invite, check your spam and you can also just pm me and I can send another one.

huh I got the email and deleted it because I thought it was fake
do I need a new one to join the new site?
No. You just need to register within 10 days of the email with that email address and you should be good.

this is one of the few online communities that never banned me permanently for being an asshole—which is really saying something—and honestly, i do need to thank Cheat for that. i have to imagine i've been on thin ice on a number of occasions, but you've always erred on the side of allowing me to express myself without any limits, often to my own detriment, and that is VERY MUCH appreciated. it was having this forum as an outlet that prevented me from posting in horrible places like 4chan or what have you. sep7agon really was all i had for a long time.
that being said, i'm almost 30 years of age at this point—i have more than sep7agon now. i don't know if i really need to join the new website. if i do, i have no interest in starting arguments or "shitting up threads" with my unwanted contrarian opinions, so you won't have to expect that from me. i'll likely just pop in here and there to throw in my two cents on whatever interesting topics happen to come up. or maybe i'll forget to join and you'll never see me again and this'll be the last post you read of mine.
To be honest, I don't think of myself as a great moderator and it took being in power here to see that. I'm good at being an admin / builder and creating tools FOR competent moderators, but man did I have some fumbles in the past with not banning people when I should have and also moderating people that maybe I shouldn't have. I don't think of you as someone who should have been removed for your behavior. I remember you had some heated comments in the past, but who doesn't? I really just appreciate all of you people playing in this sandbox I made (and Isara made better tbh). I got super lucky that Bungie made people unhappy with their design about the same place this forum was off the ground. You're welcome over there if you want. No obligations. I'll tell you that I've learned my lesson about holding people's data / accounts hostage here. I'm building the new site so you always have the option to remove your content or account, even if you're banned or if things are locked. Account deletion isn't quite figured out yet since I'm still building critical features, but eventually it will be.

Hey uh
What happens to this old place when the Alpha becomes Beta and officially 3.0?
Shutdown? Will the domain change or will both take you to the current septagon.net?
Not asking for archive reasons but wondering in general.
Once we are either out of beta or suuuuper close to being stable, I will make this forum read-only and then attempt to get the wayback machine to archive everything. Eventually this site will close and the domain will redirect to the new site. The server for this environment is actually SUPER expensive compared to the decentralized setup I have for 3.0.

>print button
Fucking based
Fun fact: roles are tied to items in your inventory. The print button is what gives you the "Original" role.

Alpha time, baby. Tomorrow.

« on: January 11, 2025, 04:33:40 PM »
The time has come! Kind of. https://septagon.net/Alpha is live! If you want an invite, just post here and I'll send one to the email you have on file. Otherwise, the rollout will be pretty random.You can also send a request for an invite to septagon.app@gmail.comThis is an alpha test. The site is missing critical features but it's at a state where I'd like to start getting feedback and also collecting bug reports on the features that are in place. Major features missing: polls, PMs, groups, nameplates, quests, and probably a few other things. All of these will be built eventually. They just aren't ready yet. Report bugs here or in the help forum there. I'll be updating information and making more clarifying answers to questions over there soonish (well... as soon as it's live). Your post data will (well...should...) persist after the alpha. Please try to hack the site  . I believe all the routes are solid but as you know, shit happens. I'd rather know now.

Bans are working.  At this point... I just need to make user profile pages (they will be suuuuper basic at launch and just something so the page doesn't 404) and setup some sort of homepage and we should be good to launch.

Report system is done!  Any Ninja / user with moderation privileges on the board the post exists in will get an alert. Any mod can then close the report or take action on the post (both of which close the report). Thread tools are mostly done! I just need to add the option to delete threads for mods. For users: I'm introducing a new mechanic. You will be able to disavow a thread in order to basically scrub it from your account. I was having trouble figuring out what was fair (because I want users to have 100% control over if their content exists on the site), and letting users delete their thread would let them basically delete other users' posts. With disavow: the thread owner changes from you to ... nobody. It belongs to user 0 (deleted / anonymous). It also deletes your OP. This keeps all other posts in the thread; the OP just gets nuked.  What style for staff do you like more btw? The first is the current implementation and the second is based off the OG / 2.0 colors.

Alerts are done 100%.    I also got board / thread settings at least mostly in place. The only things really missing from the forum stuff that is critical are a report system and a few moderation tools (delete thread, moderate user, etc.) as well as profile pages for navigating to something like u/cheat. I mentioned this but you can tag people in posts:  Once I get the above stuff done I'm going to push through the alpha. PMs / groups will be done post-launch.

I Saw The TV Glow
I won't bother reviewing because I feel like this is a movie that either you completely love or you are completely 'meh' about. I was completely devastated at the end of this film and felt like I was having panic attacks throughout; I had to do a rewatch to catch everything. If you're into stuff like The OA, mind bending stuff, or are part of the LGBT world you gotta try this film.

Alerts are done on the mobile side. I'm gonna post a video in the discord of it in action. The stuff I need to finish is embedding the component on desktop and also I need to make the post preview component that the alert routes to on click (right now if I would click on a notification it would 404 cuz I don't have that page / route setup on a component).

« on: December 25, 2024, 09:31:34 AM »
Alerts are working on the server side for replies. I have it kinda like Reddit too (in addition to replies), where the back end will scan posts for up to 3 tags like: u/cheat. Posts will auto link to profiles AND sends a notification to that user.

Can't believe they seriously raised the age of consent to 16 just a couple of years ago
Hello, FBI? Yes, I'll hold.

will we get Sep v3 before GTA 6? 
Yeah probably haha. I know my timeline claims have been completely off by like... a year, but it's in a pretty decent spot right now.

I have holiday stuff next week BUT with the weekend and then me also being off work the week of the new year for the most part, I can definitely see this getting to a state where we can make the alpha test live in January.
We'll see.

Imagine being banned because you wanted to help an American hero lmao. I have zero sympathy for healthcare CEOs too.

I've checked it out; it looks good! I even made a profile.....since it was required. Oh how tinychat has fallen
It's shut down as of today wtf.

Oh also: you don't need to worry about getting your email up to date. I modified the invite system temporarily so that any invites coming from my account will tag you as an "Original" Septagon member. I can send invites out manually once the site is up (which will be alongside this one while we're building features and testing).

Quick update cuz I know it's been a sec:
I've finished:
1. Thread / post system, including reply, edit, like, etc.
2. Base inventory system (items are at least available and can be used)
3. Permissions system
4. Invite system (uses inventory system)
Most of the critical functions of the site are complete. I think the things I have to do before making v3 live in an alpha / MVP state are:
1. Post deletion ability
2. Rank-up function (EXP is tracked but I haven't built the listener)
3. PM system (prob the biggest hurtle as I've not started).
4. Front page (likely will just launch with a static homepage)
5. Alerts and linking to alerted posts / threads
6. Moderation tools (at least starting to build them)
—
Post launch I'd handle:
1. Nameplate system
2. Coup / custom themes
3. Poll support / filtering support for threads
4. Saved threads and profile options like tracking liked posts, etc.
5. Groups and the donation system for supporting the site
6. Anon support for posting without your name.
7. Quests / credit / trading system for items.

I just sent in my passport for renewal in case I need to leave the country. Spooky. But other than that:
I am planning on aggressively paying down my mortgage and get that paid off by end of year and also plan to get to a point with my Pokemon / Yu-Gi-Oh eBay business + my stock investments where I can quit my job.
How long was your mortgage term? Didn't you buy just a few years ago? Well done btw.
I've still got 30 years left on mine.
For 2025, I want to visit a few new places in US.
30 years; bought in 2018. I've been paying like 180% min payment since I started, every month. A couple months ago I started dumping chunks of savings in and the math works out that I can keep doing that and should have it paid off in full by end of next year.
This assumes I can keep my job for most of that time haha.
Wow, well done! Wish you success.
Thanks! I was lucky. I was able to put like 30% down thanks to my parents, so that's another reason it went so fast haha. I'm definitely aware I'm in a privileged position.

The people he is selecting for different departments.
Is one of them really a pedo? How does that align with the 'protect the children' mantra?
As Bo said: And every politician, every cop on the street
Protects the interests of the pedophilic corporate elite

My state, MO, is clearly very stupid. We voted yes on Abortion and a minimum wage increase, but voted for Hawley and Trump and what looks like a very very anti-trans governor. Progressive policies and extreme conservative people.

Just voted this morning. I'd be surprised if Trump actually wins, but then again 2016 happened so....
Haha.
I am surprised.

Thanks for the summary, Verb.
For EU's and Ukraine's sake, I hope Trump loses. I suspect he will try pulling another 'storm the white house' bs again and it may be messier this time.
Also, why does the world always wait until 1942 when we could have fixed everything in 1939? Are we retarded?
We're pretty dumb as a species, yeah. We'd rather do a capitalism at the cost of a habitable planet rather than ... not do that.
