I've Considered It... 
But I don't see a strong need to do so. Plus it would cost more :) 
Metl 
If you change your mind, I'd pay for it. What's $8? ;)

While I do have the site linked on a custom home-page my browser users, I'd imagine a dedicated URL would be easier for others. 
 
$8 is the cost of a damn good sandwich from Bear Rock Cafe. 
Metl 
Have you changed the forum post headline font lately? I find it a bit harder to read on my system. 
Nevermind 
my browser just had a fit. 
FavIcon 
I think it outrageous that Func_msgboard doesn't have a FavIcon. Please resolve this issue immediately. Also, please add some popups and the obligatory Google Ads - thank you. ;) 
 
and maybe some flash! 
Question 
What timezone is this board at? 
Site 
Is as slow as fuck at the moment. We're talking an uber-delayed tantric sex 3 day fuck at that. 
Lardarse 
Seems to be GMT-8 according to French timezone..
Shambler sent a message at 06:00, when here we have 15:00, and we are GMT+1 (in summer time) or GMT+2 in (winter time)... I guess the server is located in near California...
Metlslime, could you confirm please ? 
Yeah... 
it's pacific standard time (or pacific daylight time, currently.) 
Slow 
The site is very slow for me too. 
Well... 
Poop. 
Site Seems Very Slow 
metlslime I know you are a busy busy bee, gathering honey for your queen, stinging overweight picnickers, and so forth, so I will give you the benefit of the doubt that you just haven't had a chance to look into the slowness factor.

I think you mentioned before that it might be the code, but it could very well be Globat's Amish Server Collocation powered by the will of the Lord and a sturdy loom. 
Well... 
Thing is it seems to only be intermittently slow.

Maybe i'll set up some stuff to track load times. 
Well It's Slow Now 
or is it my dns? 
 
Hum. 
After The Double Quote: 
It seems that if you have a " character in the title and hit preview, the " and everything after it disappears in the form on the preview screen.

A bit of view sourcing suggests that you need to escape the " in value attribute of the <input> in the form... 
Strange Very Minor Request 
could the "New X" text in the forum headlines list be a bit more saturated color. It's so close to white now that on some crappy lcd's (dell 1704fpt) it's hard to tell it from white. Thank you. 
I'm In Two Minds About This... 
...but the personal attacks coming out of IP 85.185.123.22 are starting to disturb me. We've had flame sessions and name calling sessions before but this stuff seems malicious.

As you probably know this IP has been banned from Wikipedia after much abuse.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:85.195.123.22

I know it's only a temporary IP as The People's Internet Inc cycle through IPs but they don't seem to be able to police there own.

Meh, Best Mapper is a stupid devisive thread anyway and awards for mapping/modding/PCs/TCs etc happen in the new year already anyway, so why not close the thread.

$0.02 
Distrans 
I think the thread would not be closed, however it should not have been opened by "external func_ morron"... I just mean that it could be possible to allow only registered users, and also logged users, to post in, and create threads... It's a little bit harsh for extra users, but efficient against stupid people... We saw too much examples these last months :(
As well, creating account could be secured just providing a "real" email, that need to be checked automatically (i.e. you create your account, and you obtain in return a beautifull automatic mail reply stating that your account is now activated...) I don't know how long such a task need, but it is feasible for sure... I already saw that on othr website...
And the most important: metlslime, what do you think ?

PS: distrans, where are my background textures ? ;) 
That Thread 
the best mapper thread is a retarded thread started by a pathetic fuckwit. Some people decided to run with it and turn it into a legit thread (and thanks btw, for the nice words many of you posted about teh marcher), but I never had any intention to post in there myself.

Also ^ what JPL said about only registered users posting (and email validation in the registering process would be good too, if it's possible to implement) 
Kinn 
You're welcome ;) 
Well... 
I'm hesitant to give up the openness that we have -- it's nice to know that if someone from another clique (like mapcenter, or lvl, or quakesrc) can post here on a whim. Outsiders like that, which we should welcome, probably wouldn't create a whole new account just to post some simple comment. But there may be some changes I could make that would reduce spam without inconvieniencing people. 
Openness Is Good. 
but what's wrong with just making it possible for the moderators to delete spam posts/threads?
