So it's been almost a year since I officially took this project on, and here is where it was not too long ago. It's the most recent screenshot I have on hand, although several theme improvements have been made since.



As for why I don't have more recent screenshots, it has to do primarily with my priorities. Earlier on, I was a bit messy with my code, and now I'm going back and rewriting a good portion of it to work with a more extensible API. Until that's done, there will be quite a lot of glitches involved, and I don't feel like taking more screenshots until those are resolved.

Anyway, Filecave is built around a number of core concepts.

What is Filecave?

Filecave is a file sharing platform that will allow users to create file uploads, and will allow for ratings, comments, discussion, featured uploads, categorization, and so on. It will be useful for mod databases, etc... where files need to be categorized quickly and easily. It will also be a standalone solution, although rest assured, I've been looking into possible integration options as well.

Core Concepts

Effective file sharing platform
- Filecave is being designed specifically to have file sharing in mind and to be effective for that purpose. Hotlinking protection is implemented, user management will be included, and moderator tools (including the optional ability to require upload approval) are all included.

Extensibility
- Filecave is being built to be highly extensible, with a modular plugins and hooks system, template engine, and more. Of course this is one of the areas where I am doing the most restructuring. I will write a more detailed post later once more work is done.

Content Management
- It may seem far fetched, but yes, I'm also trying to turn this into a full CMS. Don't get your hopes up too fast, I'm trying to finish the essentials first.

Earlier on, I was releasing proof of concept releases. I've decided to stop doing that up until the alpha, or at least until a later time, simply because the code isn't ready for any sort of release yet. (It turns out that two of the three files I had uploaded in the past had broken installers. ) Rest assured, I will release a proof of concept or alpha release once the extensibility system is fully up and running, however. At that point, anyone who wishes to contribute will be able to create new themes and modules, so stay tuned!

Hi, the name's Centur. I am an 18 year old programmer, anime fan and gamer from the USA. I own CenturCore Labs, a software studio that hopes to publish other's software someday. I know how to code in PHP, MySQL, HTML, CSS and soon, C#. I like action, sci-fi and supernatural games/animes, such as my favorite game, Team Fortress 2. If you wanna chat, feel free to contact me and I'll give you my Skype or other contact methods. Thanks for reading my intro!

Yep, I'm sick right now. Mid grade fever, slight nausea, all the norm. Pretty *****y feeling.

Personally, I've found that not many things will frustrate me more quickly than not being able to find me keys at the last minute will. It's not a good feeling when I'm already running late haha.

How often do you usually find your keys misplaced?

For far too long we have been ruled under the cruel and oppressive iron fist of admin Blake! As it is the day of Saint Valentine, I propose we hold a vote to remove this tyrant from power, and banish him from the site!

Moral of the story... don't ever forget your passwords... At least I know that my account is pretty secure. On the downside, I suppose it's also time to figure out how all of this password reset stuff works.

So I've been wanting to try minecraft out, and I have this new iPhone that needs apps. I've heard that the minecraft pocket edition is a bit lacking, but it's only $7, which keeps me from spending too much money when I've already spent way too much this month.

Is the pocket edition any good?

Some of you here probably already know about Simmania.org, which is a simcity, Cities XL, and Minecraft community with an active chat community as well. It's been around for quite a while and has developed a pretty nice, small community atmosphere. Simlink and I are currently administrators over there, and invite anyone who has an interest in Simcity or games of that genre to come check us out.

Of course if you have your own communities, feel free to promote them in this board as well! We want to check them out!

So imageshack apparently just radically changed their policies. Now you will get a 30 day free trial (which probably has already started for you if you have logged on recently) and after that, you will be required to pay $2/month to continue to use their services.

I'm honestly a bit disappointed. I'm considering getting the subscription, to preserve my existing images and for consistency, but it is a major putoff for me. Anyway, if anyone is looking for a simple, free image host, someimage.com might be worth looking at. I plan on moving some stuff over there very shortly.

What are your thoughts?
