temporarily disabling points by Dingle - 2001-12-12 06:46:40
i'm temporarily disabling the new points system until i figure out what's wrong with the database. I don't think that's the problem but to rule it out they will be shut off.




Sorry for the inconvenience and whatnot.






[update] I believe I found the problem... although the only way to tell for sure is to wait and hope it doesn't break again. If everything is fine and dandy tomorrow night ill turn the points back on.

And then there was light... by Dingle - 2001-12-10 23:40:33
The last few days have been rather bumpy in these parts.




First the server decided it needed a nap this weekend, and it was due for a nap as we've been working it for over 4 months straight. As luck would have it lo-key, the only one with physical access to the server, was in Thailand porking some 9 year old virgin, so the forum junkies were SOL until Sunday night when lo-key got home to whip the bitch into shape.




Then, today you poor fools had to endure another forum outage. When the forum crashed some tables corrupted, and repairing them caused some problems. Luckily, Gravestone was on hand to offer a few pointers and lo and behold the forum has returned.




So go now my little whores, go post til your hearts content.




Love,




Dingleberry Blue

You can now grant points to other members.




How this works is, every time you post you will accumulate (a fraction of) a point credit. You can then use these credits to grant points to other users.


Right now, you get about .1 credit per post, however the exact number is dependant on your post count. People with more posts will recieve more credits, for instance someone with 1000 posts will recieve about .1 credit per post, someone with 5000 posts will recieve about .15 credits.




To grant someone points click the thumbs up icon next to the 'quote' button in a post.




Also:


- you cannot grant yourself points


- you cannot accumulate more than 10 credits per day


- credits dont accumulate in the test forum


- credits dont accumulate for users with less than 100 total posts


- you cant grant negative points




If you abuse this you will lose your privilege to use it. (such as spamming or making inane posts simply to gain credits)




Cheers

Just to get something new up here... by Dingle - 2001-10-13 04:46:39
Mullah Mohammed Hasan Akhund, the deputy Taliban leader, and George W. Bush agree to meet in Kabul for the first round of talks in a new anti-terrorism process. When George sits down, he notices three buttons on the arm of Akhund's chair. They begin talking.




After about five minutes Akhund presses the first button. A boxing glove springs out of a box on the desk and punches Bush in the face. Annoyed, Bush carries on talking as Akhund laughs. A few minutes later the second button is pressed. This time a big boot comes out and kicks Bush in the shin. Again Akhund laughs, and again George carries on talking, not wanting to put off the bigger issue of peace between the two countries. But when the third button is pressed and another boot comes out and kicks Bush square in the privates, he's finally had enough.




"I'm headin' back home!" he calmly tells the Afghan. "We'll finish these talks in Washington in two weeks!"




A fortnight passes and Akhund flies to the United States for talks. As the two men sit down, Akhund notices three buttons on Bush's chair arm and prepares himself for the Texan's retaliation. They begin talking and George presses the first button. Akhund ducks, but nothing happens. George snickers but they continue talking. A few minutes later he presses the second button. Akhund jumps up, but again nothing happens. Bush roars with laughter. They continue the talks but when the third button is pressed, Akhund jumps up again, but again nothing happens.




Bush falls on the floor in a fit of hysterics. "Forget this," says Akhund. "I'm going back to Afghanistan!" George W. says, through tears of laughter, "What Afghanistan?"

Loser Limeys by Dingle - 2001-09-18 04:49:50
well, i cant let them make you work, thats just not right, and considering our hits have dropped 50% since the 'big ban' i just had to do something. just dont get it in your heads that i like you gits.




go here: http://www.madsmackdown.com and scroll down and log in with your asylum login/pwd.




it may be a tad slower but it should work. i made a stealth style called 'loser_limeys'. use that style and it wont even resemble asylum, and most of the asylum references are gone.




the front page may or may not work all that well there, but the forum should be fine.




cheers and welcome back, now dont let the big shots catch on, ok?
