Hey everyone, saw a few other members from IcyBoards say they will hang out here from now onwards so I thought I would join up too and keep in touch. Looks like a nice forum so look forward to chatting with you all!

I watched Seinfeld just earlier this year and I can't believe how wittingly funny it is. I'm not American, mind you, and barely anybody has ever of Seinfeld in this place. Everybody is just a FRIENDS fan.

Which is also a good sitcom.

Hello all! 

Chatcave has been a project that I've had for a little over four years now. It was started as an attempt to create some sort of hosted service for the inexperienced programmer that I was at the time. It turns out that it's not all that server intensive, and we are hosting 600+ chat rooms as of now. From a technical standpoint it was fairly easy, and it's been a fun little side project ever since.

The forum over there, however, is pretty trash. I've decided to go ahead and migrate support over here to make it much easier to maintain just one forum instead of two. Feel no obligation to really provide support, I have a feeling a lot of that will be on me. However, I will say that despite the website needing significant work and being very much neglected as of recent, it's actually a neat little service. We'll get the website fixed, but feel free to check it out! Its main downside is that it is not IRC compatible, but it's intended for communities that have smaller needs and there seem to be people who don't really mind.  

The official migration will happen sometime towards the end of June, and I have plans to clean up the service and revive it a bit. I'm also hoping to use Chatcave as a means of hopefully getting a little more eyes on MS and bringing some traffic our way. And plus, maybe some people will check us out as a token of appreciation for hosting their chats. (Hopefully? Maybe? IDK anymore... ) 

Anyway, that's what's going on here in this board, in case you were confused. Expect a few threads to be posted in the coming weeks, and feel free to jump in if you wish. Otherwise, don't mind the work here. I do believe that unifying the two websites will be a benefit in the long run.

As a part of my major for finishing up my bachelors degree, I am taking a class through my local community college online for 2D design. I expected, you know, GIMP, photoshop, inkscape, actual graphics design, or at least drawing. Instead, we're doing crafts. Like, 2nd grade style crafts. 

I will say that the beauty in taking classes at the community college and transferring to the university is this: Whatever grade I make has absolutely no impact on my GPA. As long as I make at least a C, I'm okay. It will transfer and nothing else makes a difference. Being that I'm taking calculus 1 and 2 back to back this summer, this design class is definitely low on my priority list. 

But this is, quite literally, the stuff they've made us do. I guess you have to start somewhere. I was never much a fan of crafts, and certainly never expected to have to do them in college.

Pretty trash if you ask me. Definitely barely a C at best.

I must confess. Rush is absolutely, 100%, my favorite band of all time. They are out there. Perhaps a little strange. Maybe an acquired taste. But for over 40 years, they brought incredible musicianship, great lyrics and meanings to their songs, and and amazing performances to the world. 

I saw them live in 2007 and again in 2015. They kicked a** both times. Their live performances which have been released in large numbers recently are also absolutely incredible. Very few bands can perform as well live as they can, and his voice has held up fantastically given that is in his mid 60's. 



Tell me that is not an absolutely fantastic performance. (3:22 onward is when it gets good. )

Any other fans here?

I was ruming around the MyBB forums the other day. I've been pretty much MIA from the MyBB scene for a few years now, but I'd like to get back involved, so I was checking out the future of 2.0 and seeing where they were at. I was impressed at their proof of concept screenshots but it looks very much like an incomplete project. 

In my opinion, MyBB is probably the best forum software I've ever used just because of how flexible it really is. It's lightweight, but it's extremely easy to work with and to mold into the design vision of the forum administrator. And of course it's practical and user friendly on the front end too. 

Everyone probably can remember the MyBB 1.8 fiasco a while back. Really, 1.8 was a fairly small bump in the grand scheme of things, but they did add some really great features that were long overdue. Either way, it was years late and by the time it arrived, people felt (or some people, I should say), that it was already outdated on the day of its release. Personally I didn't mind. The update was welcome for me, but not everyone agreed. 

I have heard very little on 2.0. Supposedly they've gotten a lot done, but it doesn't seem like they are really all that close to release there either, and it's been years. And honestly, if they switch over to a completely rewritten software, I'm almost gonna miss the MyBB of today. The current software, while outdated, is so easy to work with that nothing else can really compete. 

Anyone heard anything about its progress or have any expectations on what's to come?

Runescape and Old School Runescape will remain online, but Runescape Classic (the original) will shutdown for good August 6th.

Has anyone used Adobe XD? Apparently I've been living under a rock and they made it FREE!?

I downloaded it last night, I'd previously seen videos and reviews on it and was particularly impressed and already was planning on buying it. The prototype feature is so freaking great.

Has anyone else had a play? What's your thoughts? I have been previously using Photoshop for my (web)designs however with a little bit more use of Adobe XD I think I will be making a full move over.
