This blog is now for stating the status of Gamingforce.us

With the launch of our wordpress site, this place isn't needed much more. So I will be using this place as a status update on the gamingforce.us domain. If the domain goes down or the hosting, look here for the details on what's causing it.

GF updates 12.1.2010

Forgot about this place lol, anyways....

New month, many more posts and updates to the GF forum.

To start off this update, we have had some slowness in the past week and there were two problems with this. The first time was due to a MySQL error which was quickly fixed. then there was a second slow issue due to another account on the server that had some bad code on their MySQL which messed with the whole server and affected us. Both issues were quickly dealt with by our host.

Next, I am currently setting up a wiki (with media wiki software right on the GF server) which members will be free to mess with and write up pages of pretty much anything they want that relates to gaming or yourself. More on this in the future.

On a side note, don't forget that the Video game awards will air on spike tv on the 11th of December.

I know it's December, but sadly I don't think I will be putting up a Christmas theme for the forum. I would like to, but the good ones cost too much and the free ones are crappy. Maybe next year though.

I have added a neat little hook to the forum that blocks anyone from viewing a banned member's profile. This is further to cut back the pointless efforts of spammers and I get the last message if anyone views a ban profile :P

I have updated the media tag so that it embeds college humor and ign videos.

And currently we have a total of 48,859 posts and 644 members.

Will be offline tonight for server change

Tonight at 12a.m CST / 1pm (GMT+8) we will be offline for a host server change. For many of you this shouldn't cause a interruption and in the morning everything should be running fine.

If the forum don't load for you tomorrow you may need to do a clear browser cache or press ctrl + F5 for a hard refresh or a ipconfig /flushdns with your PC. If your not sure how that's done then give it a quick googling.

I'll be sending a email on this shortly and tomorrow morning with a confirm that all is working fine.

Live chat added

Due to user request, I have added a live chat box to the GF forums. You can find the link for it at the top of the navi bar and it's called "Chat room"

This is a free chatbox provided by addon chat and is made possible to be put on IPB by this guy. So I hope you enjoy it and I'll be sure to hang out the chatbox so hit me up for a convo or two. I don't believe the conversations are stored on this chatbox so if you close the window it's on you will lose your current conversation. If you would like to see this further expanded upon, I be happy to take donations to upgrade the chat box to do more, but it costs $80+ to do, so donate wisely.
