Hi MS!

Been playing around with a new phpBB forum (I also own a few forums running myBB, so please don't hate me!)

It's meant to be an old-school gaming looking forum, that many of us participated in a long time ago. Still some things to sort out here and there but it's coming together now.

Please take a look at https://gvforums.net/forums/ and let me know what you think - any suggestions would be great!

Thank you

Hello all,

I'm an avid gamer who likes to build websites in my spare time.

Looking forward to being a part of this artistic community

I saw this today. It's honestly a very neat idea. It basically traps spambots into an infinite loop of reloading the page to fill their database with bogus email addresses. Assuming it works (and xrumer isn't configured to not point to this website anymore), it's a genius idea. 

As such, I've put a link to it here. Anyone heard of this (or this idea) before?

Well... I have a proper thread on Mybb showcase but actually I'm more interested on a proper feedback based on design + functionality + tips to improve some sections since I'm not a developer myself and my programming skills stills basic.

Fist of all, I didn't do the theme from scratch, I took a basic theme who looked like this

And with a full year or work look like this

Since the forum is heavily focused on fanfiction, I used xthreads for some new fields like a summary and genres

Also, we have a gallery using xtreads but possibly this is de weakest aspect of the forum since I varely knew how to use flex boxes when I made the design and I haven't had enought time to make an improvement. So, if anyone can suggest some tutorials or ideas to make it better it will be super appreciated

Hy , makestation.net ,the website writes to me Browserwarning

Check if a site's connection is secure

To see whether a website is safe to visit, you can check for security info about the site. Chrome will alert you if you can’t visit the site safely or privately.

1. In Chrome, open a page.
   
   
2. To check a site's security, to the left of the web address, look at the security status:
   
   •  Secure
     
   •  Info or Not secure
     
   •  Not secure or Dangerous
     
3. To see the site's details and permissions, select the icon. You'll see a summary of how private Chrome thinks the connection is.
   

Any of you guys play Minecraft around here? 

I do occasionally with my youngest brother. It's a bond we have anytime I'm near my family's town. I've long been considering making a server, was wondering if anyone already had one or would be interested in teaming up for one?

In times of crisis, there are situations when you need to eat as cheaply as possible. Right now, my goal is to eat for $25/week. Here's my breakdown: 

• Multivitamin, to make up for the total lack of nutrition on everything below on the list. 
  
• Lots of canned soups. Chef boyardee when you can get a sale, especially. 
  
• Ice cream. Has a TON of calories and is very cheap. 
  
• Ramen noodles as overflow. When I run out of other things, Ramen noodles are about 20 cents a meal if you eat two packs every time. 
  
• Cheap frozen pizzas. We can get them for about a dollar a meal around here. 
  
• Cereal on a good sale. 
  
• Pop tarts as a snack (only because a nearby store sells them hella cheap). 
  

Hi,

New here to the forum, i come from the signature at "community.mybb.com".

1 - Do you need content to populate your forum?
2 - Are you using simulator or any other software to emulate users in the forum?

That's it, Thanks

My WiFi has been in the dumps the past couple of weeks. Ever since the COVID-19 outbreak, we’ve been at a loss here. Everyone being on lockdown has stressed the network out severely. 

And yet my internet is better than ever on cell. Unfortunately, I only get 8GB if it. 

And so I’m now asking if anyone knows of a good plan that’s prepaid and has some more data on it. I’m aware of some fantastic deals on unlimited prepaid plans, but they don’t have hotspot data. I don’t want to use Sprint because it barely works here. Everyone else? Well, a deal is a deal.

What are you guys using right now in terms of cell service? How is it holding up in your neck of the woods?

Proboards is one of the largest (if not the largest) free forum host on the internet. They wrote their software from the ground up, and it's actually not bad (albeit somewhat outdated), but the problem isn't the software or the size. It's the policies. 

They lock down content so tightly that it is illegal to even attempt to get your content off. Users "own" their individual content (not ordinarily a bad thing), BUT they OWN it so tightly that if an administrator ever wants to move to a different host, they, legally, have to request permission from EVERY single user that has posted, write a crawler/scraper, and get ONLY the posts for which the permission has been granted onto their new host. And there is no database export option.

It's gone a little far. Forumotion was similar back in the day, but at least they didn't have licensing gotchas that could have gotten you sued back in the day. They don't allow it, per se, but people have used them many times, so it's at least possible to move to a different host if you ever need to have it done.

Anyway, I found this recently. It's quite literally proboards. Exact same software and all, but "for businesses"

I'm sorry, but if I have $200/month, I'm going straight to IP.Community and paying them 1/10 that amount to host on REAL paid software instead. End of story.
