    Forum Trolls

    I go by usernames unless I know the person I'm referring to. Because I'm sure Nebulous's actual name isn't Nebulous.

    My History class is reading Machiavelli's book The Prince which is all about seizing and keeping political power, and my teacher was talking about how the ends justifies the means, which is essentially the main point of this guidebook. I'm not sure whether this was just a casual comment to...

    Considering how vBulletin was already around $200, why would you want to waste more money on software? Buy your daughter or yourself somethin' nice with that money... Off Topix doesn't need to go from vBulletin, arguably some of the best message board software available, to IPB.

    Forum Trolls

    Ban. Simple as that. Though since this is sure to arise from Nebulous or Brian, my forum gets two kinds of trolls; the regulars who are the community, and the trolls that try to fuck with the boards. The latter is the group I ban.

    Running your own server

    Who here has experience in actually running a server? I'm going to make a little set up soon in a room no one uses for my own web and IRC server, so I thought this would be a good topic. Discuss anything about running servers or a server, I guess.

    I'm alright with the software changes as long as it's needed, i.e. if the software the board is currently running becomes deprecated and there are no more planned releases for the project, which would obviously be a big security flaw.. but unless there's an actual reason, I say just stick with...

    Feeling at home with your forum

    I feel at home with a forum that has a simplistic layout and has that old Internet look. No hard to read colors or complex graphics, only necessary scripts on the page (because let's face it, there are a lot of websites that abuse Javascript, Flash, and PHP, and take it overboard), and easy...

    I like it, save for the Art board. Art in this situation includes photography, independent film, classic art, modern, etc. I might add some subforums for the sections but that could get too clogged.

    Beyond the blogosphere and social networking layers of the Internet, there is a much darker place, full of pirates and trolls. It's a lifestyle. Won't try to explain it. Just trust me when I say this isn't your friendly Off Topix-like community.
