Login backend switchover
Since I designed the site, there have been two seperate databases; one for admins on the site, and one for all the other users on the forums. I always intended to merge the two databases (and I don’t know why I didn’t do it on day 1), and today I finally did. This eliminates that […]

Freecap Visual upgrade
I’ve replaced the somewhat-crappy phpBB visual confirmation with a more advanced one from Freecap. It’s a lot harder to read, so it should go double for spambots.

Computers, computers, computers…
I had to repair 3 computers yesterday. Yes, and one of them was my own. Regardless, I swear, the next person who asks me to do some work on their computer is going to get a dirty bomb UPSed to their house. However, the dirty bomb will not be nuclear - oh no, it will […]

SWVIII Slowness
Anyone that’s noticed VIII is slow - there’s nothing I can do about this problem at the moment. Dreamhost had another problem earlier, and though I think it’s unrelated, they may have transferred our activity through a slower hub or something until they can fix the problem.
