Seeing as how we have our original name back fstdt.com Maybe we could do something with the forums as well? Anyone with me? Now I this is probably already on the back burner and this shouldn't come as a surprise to Distind from this post coming from me (not to be taken in a bad way). Now I found a FREE forum board with no rules like this current forum one has also for being free IMO this one is really nice. What I mean is it is under the GPL (GNU Public License) So those like Distind who know how to play with the SQL code and what not can freely do so. Here is the link to the site - www.simplemachines.org/. Now also just cause I got bored lol I set up a demo board of what it could look like if Distind likes the idea. So if anyone wants to test out and look at the demo board here it is - fstdttest.freesmfhosting.com/index.php. Now do note this is just a demo/test to have a look see as to what it is like set up and functional. Mods if you want to look around as a Mod on the demo PM me and I can set that up. Also Distind if you want to look further into this PM me and I can also do a admin account setup for you. So as I said I'm just trying to be helpful and put in my 2cents. So comment and let me know if this could be a good idea or bad idea? |

The Idea would be since its a GPL licensed board it could give Distind more control over the the forums than he has with this one because like i said since he knows SQL code and PHP he could literally get into the guts (code level) of that forum and tweak it to his liking on top of normal Admin configurations. Also for those you who remember the old forums NSFW category that could also be brought back to full potential as there is nothing - no strings - to hold that back like there is with this board. |

Erm, you do realize that Proboards runs SMF, right? We are using the same software you just linked to.
ETA:The rules are Proboards rules, nothing to do with the software. I'm sure freesmfhosting have rules very similar to Proboards. All free boards I've encountered have rules like Proboards. Distind *could* download a copy of SMF and host it on the server, but I'm guessing since the main page stuff is .net/aspx, if he gets forum software rather than building his own, they'll be .net/aspx.

That's actually what I was getting at. Which is why I linked the SimpleMachines.org in the first place and first link...which has the download to the actual software. Since he now has FSTDT.com would it not be hard to use that server and upload simple machines software to it and configure it? While I don't see the problem it would basically be how FSTDT.com server is set up with what available features. Also the whole demo thing is stated as such because the purpose of the demo was to show off what the board itself UI wise looked like. The whole hosting thing was just a random pick. |

Distind is already building new boards for us. Be patient. He's been working on this since before the site change. I saw some of what he'd done back then, and it was pretty damn good. It'll be even better by the time it's done, but he's only one programmer and has a life of his own to lead.
The forums will happen. Just hold on a while longer, ok?

Send Distind a PM, then. If he thinks he can use you, he'll let you know.

Ok fine. He's a secret coalition of programmers melded into one body and one mind. He is the Borg.
He still has a fiance to manhandle and a day job to not get fired from. I call that a "life" that needs this thing called "leading".
