Welcome to the new Gamer Disclaimer forum! :-)
We have successfully moved from phpBB to vBulletin, a very stable forum system. There are two styles to choose from right now, the dark centura style and the default vBulletin style. You are free to choose whatever style you wish.
Notice to all users: You will have to re-upload your avatars or select a new one from the avatar gallery. Dimension limits have been raised to 80x80 pixels.
Please report any bugs to the moderators. Many more updates coming soon...
There is no gold/shop system in the new forums. There will be less spam and more meaningful conversations this way. I might consider adding gold in the near future though.

Un-med....I like your old avatar better :(
Anyway, I went to the Media forums, and currently the last topic which I posted in lists my user-name as 'Imported Yazzarh'. Not in the actual thread, but in the part which says the most recent post.
I'm not imported, so what's wrong????

I have to run a script that updates thread information. Problem is it goes through ALL posts (200,000 of them) which usually consumes all the database resources which makes it crash. Don't worry about it for now, it'll change eventually.

ARRGGHHHHH!!!!
I see dead threads!!!!!!
Am I like Yazzarh, the thread-whisperer or something? Because just now in this forum I can see deleted threads. It really clutters up the forum, so I'd prefer if I couldn't see that.

It's because you're a Super Mod. Those are soft-deleted threads, you can permanently delete them if you want. It's safer to soft delete, less mistakes.
Yazzarh
05-03-2007, 05:16 AM
So I can soft-core delete things, and hard-core delete them?
Sounds interesting.

I dont get it, where did the gold go to? Will it still have more updates to transfer stuff?
To celebrate May 1st (International Workers' Day) the gold system was
suspended. Seriously, I know you all spa.. worked really hard to
collect it. It might be back in the future, and the Murloc RPG game might be
change to eliminate the need for forum shops. For now it is gone, to let us
have a better forum engine.

Aww man, but will the Murloc RPG still stay at Gamerdisclaimer? Or will we get our items back if you mods choose to get back forum gold?
Un-med just worked the entire night to set this forum up. The whole down time was used to migrate as much of the old forum into the new one with the changes needed to make it stabe this time. I guess that in the new few days there are going to be some more changes as we'll find problems and ways to fixed them. This is a new place for everyone, just have patience.

Wow, the admin and moderators really worked hard, lets just wait and see. But honestly, the old forum was better than this, I cant say too soon, im just used to the old one :D Thanks anyway

It's not a particularly useful feature for the time being anyway. It was more for when there was a steady stream of users on the new MRPG... I'm sure something similar will probably be back for MRPG2 and future GD productions.

Yay!Not as much spam, hopefully! I wonder... Do you think unmed's gotten a porn/bot spam block on these forums or if he's considering figuring one out?

Dang, the mods are a lot stricter. Meh, I try not to do anything bad though... So what's swearing considered? Any cuss word or just things like f**k and d**k and stuff like that?
un-mediocre
05-03-2007, 05:43 PM
A little bit of swearing is fine, just don't harass other members.

You're allowed to swear in non-offensive contexts, EG> "Damn, that subway sandwich is some fucking hot shit! I love it to fucking pieces!"
What you're not allowed to say is: "**** you Mother******* Islamic/Chrisitan/Aethiest/****** stupid ****** and your ****** of a ****** *****[.... You get the point....]
Normal Conversational swearing is fine, it's just cos it was aimed at a fellow user. And that isn't fine.
But no, cuss all you like, as long as it's non-directional cussing ;)

Ahahah, I don't know, calling someone a nazi seems like an insult..

It'll take some time to get use to the new forum. Is the 60 second cooldown for reporting going to be changed soon though? That is really annoying
destinyblade
05-03-2007, 08:28 PM
I am not a fan of any cool down in my opinion. Creates more annoyance when you are trying to report legitimate problems but you have to wait for the cool down.
blakdragon43
05-03-2007, 09:13 PM
Well, 60 seconds may or may not matter, really.So long as someone else doesn't have the cooldown or is almost done with it and notices the post, everything should work out, really.
DragonWolfy
05-04-2007, 07:27 AM
I'm going to go with riku on this one 60 seconds ain't much anyways and if someone else has their cooldown at like 10 seconds and notices a spam post as soon as the ten seconds are up they could report it :D

Am i the only one who likes centura? I like the darkness rather than the all white default.

Yes, darkness is good. I <3 Darkness.

I wish there was a green style. Or a light blue one.

No no, Centura is good... Well, I dunno, but Centura's pretty good.

There will be somewhere.
I'm gonna have a root around the vBulletin mod page (All 100,000 of them :| )
I'll see if i can find anything cool, and i'll get un-med to install it if it's free.
Also, we're trying to make the gamerdisclaimer forums more about GD games than just MRPG... So that it doesn't become obsolete when we're done playing MRPG2.
destinyblade
05-05-2007, 10:48 AM
It be cool if we had a blog kinda thing on the forum, where the user could write journals for other members to see.

To bad the lottery,shop and that stuff isn't here is miss it :(
destinyblade
05-05-2007, 11:34 AM
Lottery was worthless with the new jobs, shop items will most likely find there way into the game again.
blakdragon43
05-05-2007, 07:35 PM
Well, since you need gold to buy shop items, unmed was thinking of taking gold out to stop as much spam, but then he could make it rep points, but then people would cheat on that, so...
DragonWolfy
05-05-2007, 07:40 PM
actually You have to Rep a bunch of other people before Repping the same person again so someone would need ALOT of extra ACCs for that

un-med could you explain how to use the smilies somewhere in this forum?
un-mediocre
05-06-2007, 12:49 AM
It's pretty self explanatory. Reply to a post, the smilies appear on the right. Click "more" to view all smilies. You probably don't see them because you're using quick reply.

loooove... a ridiculously large amount of love... it's so pretty... I want to make metaphorical babies with it...
Anyway, here's a suggestions, you could always have a gold system, but gold can only be earned through jobs, and in order to get jobs you have to have a certain amount of posts, basically the old system minus the gold per post. And make the post counts higher, maybe around fifty-one hundred for the first job, this will stop a lot of the spammers because they'll just get banned by the time they get even close enough to the amount for jobs, and genuine posters will be able to get their first job as short as three days.. if they're, like, really dedicated.
Banath
05-06-2007, 08:50 AM
im thinking orgoth is on the right path, but we should just have jobs at every hundred, and one to start out for like 1g a day or something
destinyblade
05-06-2007, 03:09 PM
I actually don't see any choice of smilies except for the title ones.

Uhm do we still have a shop, because I can't get to the shop or get to see my inventory. I havent logged on for a few months and there has been a change?
Help? :/
blakdragon43
05-07-2007, 03:56 PM
No, there's no shop. Oh, and we figured out something (I think) on the chat yesterday. Unmed's gonna put the shop items in the game and you buy them with your own gold, and it'll be forumgoldprice/5. So a Deathslayer is 400 gold, worn dagger's 1 gold, etc, etc. Then again, I was kinda lost so I dunno if unmed was just trying to get ideas or something..
destinyblade
05-07-2007, 04:27 PM
We need to make a NO SHOP sticky or something.
blakdragon43
05-07-2007, 05:52 PM
No one ever reads stickies, though, because they don't like sticky things.
^lol, hidden funny
g4smart
05-07-2007, 06:09 PM
well, stickies need to be labeled in a way that would "attract" the average reader.

05-08-2007, 06:19 AM
lol, "Attract" Is'n that why they are Stickey :P
indie88
05-08-2007, 12:10 PM
well, stickies need to be labeled in a way that would "attract" the average reader.
Hmmm, dynamic titles would be good, if they were used by mods only...
EG flashing writing, or different colour title text...
Some-random-sheepy
05-08-2007, 03:12 PM
Or force them to read it!
Not like make them read it before they can post, but sort of like a screen that comes up for ? seconds if you never at least clicked on the link before you can post, give some freedom.
destinyblade
05-09-2007, 05:01 PM
When you sign up, there should be after the 1st login, it will go to a page just with stickies. They will have to at least click them to go on and see the normal forum.
It is an inconvenience, although it would clear up a lot of that i don't read stickies kinda thing.
indie88
05-09-2007, 05:29 PM
No, no. The welcome PM on the old forum did this. Seemed to work ok. Could've been better though.
g4smart
05-09-2007, 05:36 PM
it'd be neat if the moment you activated your account you were taken to a page with a big fat (literally) link in red that was like "READ THIS". that link would take you to the rules page.
indie88
05-09-2007, 06:06 PM
Or... Perhaps to activate it you'd have to pass a small questionairre, like " What is spam posting: Option A, B, C etc"
blakdragon43
05-09-2007, 10:15 PM
lol...
And the question is: What is spam?
A.)A mystery meat
B.)Idiotic posts with no meaning
C.)I like pie/cake/ice cream
D.)All of the above
