The beta forums are on a separate standalone server, which is where we'll be doing our testing. Once the forum is considered good enough for live use, the entire site will be moved to that server and the domain redirected to the new IP address. Then I'll begin development on the rest of the site so we can start running articles, comics, contests, reviews, etc.

My simplified opinion: I think that we were right to go over and fight the terrorists/Taliban and bring them to justice. We DID NOT start the war- the suicidal Al-Quida maniacs did that. The fact that we've stayed over there for so long is troubling, however. If Bush has a reason for doing this (besides oil), he apparently doesn't trust the public with it and I don't like that. If I was the father of a soldier that was killed in Iraq, I would be EXTREMELY upset because I still wouldn't know what we were fighting for.

So I disagree with Bush on his handling of this. But I didn't say they "started a war and now wish to conquer the world"; nothing personal, but that's just plain stupid.


Going into Afghanistan made sense. We thought Bin Laden was there.

As for Iraq, there weren't any "terrorists" in Iraq until we invaded. There was never a connection between Saddam and Al Qaeda. They used Iraq as a rallying point after we turned the country into a war zone.

I seriously question the intelligence of any middle class American who voted for Bush, especially his second term. Anyone find it interesting that the Bush family gets its wealth from oil? Anyone find it interesting that the Bush family is so very very tight with the Saudi royal family? Anyone with a reasonable view of the future can see the looming oil crisis and what it means to our country. Our entire economy is based on cheap, abundant oil. Tons of goods are made from petroleum byproducts, and the goods are all shipped on ships, planes, and trucks that require huge amounts of fuel. China is growing, India is growing. They'll need oil like crazy in a few years. Oil is getting scarce and you can bet the U.S. is positioning itself to have a firm grasp on middle eastern oil for the future. This "war" has nothing to do with terrorism--nothing at all.

And the Bush family is laughing all the way to the bank.

We're all playthings for rich people.

There are about a million DVD editions of this film and some of them are old releases with pretty bad transfers.

I looked into this some more. Are you referring to subscription notifications showing up in your PM box? You can turn this off by going to "customize" and changing this option.

If you chooose to receive subscription notifications via PM, they count toward your total just like any other PM. This will likely carry over to the new forum software because a subscription notification takes up space in the database like any other message does.

Believe it or not, I'm actually working on the forum software. I gave up on ASP.NET and went back to ColdFusion. .NET seems needlessly complicated, even for complex web applications.

Since I'm already familiar with ColdFusion and it's much faster to work with, development should proceed more smoothly now. I'll probably post a couple of teaser screenshots soon.

Jedikev?

After receiving many complaints regarding Jedikev's behavior, I've locked his account temporarily.

After reviewing some of his posts, it seems he's simultaneously a valued contributor and annoying troll. I can't make any sense of it. Most of the complaints center around his use of certain derogatory terms when insulting other members. I'm the last person who would ask someone to be sugar and spice and everything nice on a message board (you should see what I post elsewhere), but I've asked him to tone things down considering the nature of the terms he uses.

I started this thread to notify members of Jedikev's temporary banning and to see what kind of support he might get from the community regarding the reactivation of his account. This is not your opportunity to take cheap shots while he's not here to defend himself. Please be honest and straightforward.

What are your feelings on Jedikev?
