Progress Report From Brian

[rookiecrd1]

Ok I thought I'd give an update...

#1 Due to members concerns, we have disabled Guests from viewing most folders. They can only see the main page. They will have to register to view most of the folders

#2 I am working to try to get the antispam feature disabled, however I have had no luck in finding it. I will have to wait for Marc to respond to me. As for the few members who have called me an idiot and careless admin, I really take offense to this. I have been trying my best to satisfy everyone however there are thousands of members here that all have different opinions. You can't always get what you want.

Good luck never had problems here shame a few go for personal abuse maybe if
Poeple had to pay they would think a little more of all the work needed to keep a board up and running.

Just a suggestion since you disabled the viewing of folders for guests (if you have not already made it, of course).

Make a topic in the guests room in which you explain that you need to register to view all the other folders :)

Peace :01:

[[B][O][T]]

It's already there :)

Thanks for keeping us up to speed on the developments, much appreciated.

However please bear in mind that the board is not totally populated with whiners, the rude and those who lie in order to achieve their own ends.

[muchspl2]

1. when did i lie?


2. i admit i can bw whiney at times but today what i was whining for wasnt concerning me because rarely get hit by anti-spam, it was the other members particularly BB i was worrying about so keep your sarky little comments to yourself please :)

[Busyman]

I just hope with anti-spam gone we don&#39;t those spam scripts and people posting spam shit over and over.

We didn&#39;t get it that much before but we did get it.

The brightest idea you ever had was to "create another admin account" is&#39;nt it?
Now you think you can go into hiding and come clean with the nice guy Brian approach don&#39;t you?
Now your even more fed up becuase being someone else really does&#39;nt help you does it?

Whatever you are the truth will come out..................ADMIN. :)

[RealitY]

:o :o :P :P

[djweiser]

I really still think we should remove anti - spam and get post count back.

AntiSpam - dam useless pain lol
Post Count - Usefull feature. Every other invision board has one.

Ok Brian, but I have still yet to be told a reason why we can&#39;t have our skins back. Nobody would be angry if they would be brought back, because if they don&#39;t want them, then they don&#39;t have to use them.

Exactly. Whats the big deal is having post count , count in the lounge AND showing members posts by the name.

good man :D

I havn&#39;t thought this through but would a poll section in the "everything about the board" for board changes help with this as otherwise "members comcerns tend to be an unrepresentitive sample of member in those who are ready to complain as soon as they find a reason - not that I disagree with a lot of the complaints but in future issues I can see that happening.

As for anti-spam, like 7th did, I left some crap like that on my bosses computer before I left a previous job too (link) (http://www.rjlsoftware.com/software/entertainment/)

[rookiecrd1]

As for the skins, 7th told me that it was not a good idea for me to change it as they will take up a lot of extra Bandwidth while also eliminating some security safeguards.

I hope to Talk with mar soon

[RealitY]

Can you also perhaps give us an update on...

The security crap is the anti-spam shit&#33;

Skins won&#39;t affect freaking security&#33;

[h1]

Can someone please explain how a skin contains security features?

[DWk]

Isn&#39;t it different code?

If it is... it might be not so secure code ;)

PS: trying to feel l337 there :rolleyes:

[Busyman]

I&#39;m slightly confused. What skins are you all referring?

I have the IPB GFX skin on.

I see 4 others.

[shn]

That Halloween skin looked like crap.

[Busyman]

I did like the Christmas skin but hell......it ain&#39;t Christmas.

I want to know what other skins besides the Halloween and Christmas skins, is everyone talking about.

Beats me.

I&#39;d like to know too because I only remember thoose two. I don&#39;t why people keep bitching about it.

If you don&#39;t like the skin then go into your browser&#39;s options and enable "your system themes and colors" and it won&#39;t display the fst skin. The buttons won&#39;t change but you can have any color you want. :)

[RealitY]

Was 1024 x 768 before...

[j2k4]

Can I read it?

Easily.

Can I post?

Uh-huh.

Do I spam?

No.

Have I butted heads with the anti-spam feature?

Occasionally.

Do I care about "skins"?

Not in the least.

Do we need "Sportsworld"?

Probably not a bad idea.

Do we really need "The Talk Club"?

Never heard of it; we can probably do without it.

Do I think the Mods and Admins do a pretty good job?

I certainly do.

Would I trade places with any of them?

Nope.

Are you being paid for this interview?

Yes, but not much. Two cents, I believe. :)

[J'Pol]

:lol:

In your own inimitable style.

After you have kept out of the press for so long.

I&#39;m sure I wasn&#39;t missed, but I agree with you, sir:

The mods do a job not many of us could, or would, do.

I have, on occasion, mused as to what being a mod would be like; contrary to what I&#39;m sure would be popular sentiment here, I think I have exactly the temperament for the job, but when I consider the investment of time, and giving over what I get from this forum in lieu of what I&#39;d be required to give, I&#39;m sorry, I wouldn&#39;t be willing.

All those who complain should walk a mile in a Mod&#39;s shoes.

They are not perfect, but I have never heard them claim to be, which in any case is beside the point.

I am perfect, and I can&#39;t please anybody&#33;

Seriously:

I have done a lot of that type of thing, and it is for the most part a thankless duty; if you think that doesn&#39;t mean much, try to rmember how you felt the last time you extended yourself for a cause not strictly for your own benefit-in other words, the last time you did someone a favor.

Did you receive thanks?

Probably.

If the shoe is on the other foot, do you give thanks?

Probably.

Are any of us in the habit of spontaneously thanking the Mods or Admins?

Not that I&#39;ve noticed.

Please put me on the "Thank You" list for those who keep KLF afloat.

[J'Pol]

And me.

I don&#39;t agree with every specific thing that is done, but on the whole I really like the way this place is run.

Anyone who has tried other fora will have experienced how heavy handed moderation can be. Or so laid back as to make it pointless.

I like the balance here.

I think being a mod would be fairly easy.

Most things come down to simple logic.

One problem is different mods handle things different from one another.

[tensegg]

just spilt coffee on my skins, anyone got any rizla :P

[h1]

We had these skins before:
Invision Power Board Default
K-Lite
Halloween
Winter

And I&#39;d still like to know how a skin contains security features.
