1) To post, you must register an account. It only takes a minute and it will allow you edit your own posts later. It also lets you reserve your name on these boards. Click here to register an account.

2) Keep all discussion of a single topic under the same thread: When you reply to a message, it gets sent back to the top of the forum. Please do not start a new topic every time you have something to say about it-- "reply" to the original message to keep things organized. Start a new topic only when discussing something completely unrelated to your previous post.

3) Give as much information as possible: For example, if you have a question about a specific game, please mention the title of this game! Also please post any steps that you have already tried to solve your problem. Post your system specifications (CPU, RAM, video card, Operating System, method of connecting to internet) if they are at all relevant. Here is a nice program that list all your comp hardware and software. Great for troubleshooting and for gathering info to give when receiving tech help.

4) Please write clearly: Please try to use paragraphs, real words and proper sentence structure so that people can actually understand your message. Try reading your post back to yourself to ensure it makes sense. If your post is only a few words long, it probably doesn't contain enough information to make sense to anyone but yourself.

5) We do not support illegal activity: This includes no-CD cracks, cd-key grabber, as well as image copying.

6) IF YOU CANNOT HOST: Read the top thread in this forum BEFORE YOU POST!!! This subject has been gone over MANY times!

There are a lot of knowledgeable people who read this forum, and they can often help you with your problem, or at least point you in the right direction. We make no guarantees but we do our best to help. It might take a while to get a reply so please be patient.

Thanks!

    I love the Trending Content!
  • The Helper The Helper:
    New News Forum World News
  • The Helper The Helper:
    How often does the Trending Content box refresh?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Also, in the last template there was a seperation between sticky threads and regular threads in the forum
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Not sure. It's probably part of a cron job.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Hey Ghan, whatever cron job its part of its not running its been the same for days. If it does not work can we remove it?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    LOL! A tweak job!
  • The Helper The Helper:
    this is the fix I get from that yeah this is hard to control. disabling bots is pretty much necessary as ai and other bots would push really old threads to the top. reduce weight of view count. disable guest view tracking if you really want to push active threads to the top. a bit of tinkering for a few days with the weights and other settings should get you a decent trending widget box.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I changed the settings a bit.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Narrowed it to 7 days for the half-life and set views to 0 weight.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I dont think Trending would work for this forum it would be better to just have the last 5 posts from anywhere
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Probably will have to give it some time to update.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I'm guessing it is not retroactive.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Next on the punch list: Update the server to Ubuntu 24.04.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Mad Lads is new I see it displays original post date
  • The Helper The Helper:
    as long as it changes it is good - it is good now it updated and its new stuff
  • The Helper The Helper:
    One thing I have noticed and I dont know if it is by design but like 1 out of 3 times I come to the site the Anubis screen just hangs open, if I refresh it will go away but sometimes it hangs
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I've seen that as well.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Wow - the change in the stats are major. I kind of knew it was all bots but wow, to see the effect. Why the social media sites cant do something like this I have no idea.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Probably inflates their numbers so they look better to advertisers.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Yeah google does not filter those bots. I remember when Apex was doing Google ads I saw the same IPs in there as I was seeing here - google is totally tracking all those bots as traffic and most google traffic, at least ours, was all bots
  • The Helper The Helper:
    oh wow, i bet i can post x links now and do the webp pics now giggity
  • The Helper The Helper:
    ahh anubis blocks anyone that has javascript turned off
  • The Helper The Helper:
