[FONT size=2][FONT size=3]> Now I may be wrong, but didn't somebody on DV once mention what kind of forum software they used, and they said it actually [SPAN style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"]had [/SPAN]user registration already built in, all they (DV) had to do was turn it on? I remember this pretty clearly but I don't recall who said it. [/FONT]
[/FONT][/DIV]They use Snitz for their forum software and yes, that person was correct: Snitz comes with user reg feature.

All they had to do for 5 years was to bring up the configuration panel and activate that feature. That's it.  Lazy fuks. [img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/boese/k026.gif" border=0]    

[tenkani]

I agree completely with your points and observations, tenkani.

I believe lack of accountability has been the primary fuel for all the self righteousness that takes place on DV.

As much as I can see the difference (functionalitywise) I don't really distinguish much between the techies and mods on DV, as they both act equally retarded, arrogant, and totally disrespecful.

Here's another very relevant quote I wrote in the old from:

-- start quote -- I've long been a critic of all the powertripping, absolute tyranny, and dictatorship on that board. DV is what you get when you

- give someone the ultimate authority to do whatever they please
- while asking them to function in a language they don't fully comprehend,
- and take away any shred of accountability for their actions

That's when you end up with an extremely dysfunctional place characterized by constant stifling of expression...

[FONT face=Verdana]Agreed with almost all of your points. However I'd like to clarify the following:[/FONT][/DIV][FONT face=Verdana][/FONT] [/DIV]> [FONT face=Verdana]it took him a few days [/FONT][/DIV][FONT face=Verdana][/FONT] [/DIV][FONT face=Verdana]I know you're saying it casually but a "few days" is an overstatement: There was barely 72 hours between the time I created my technical thread titled "what this board needs" in the old forum and the creation and successful launching of this new bulletin board. [/FONT][/DIV][FONT face=Verdana][/FONT] [/DIV][FONT face=Verdana]I was amazed. Admin here must be a very skilled and competent dude. Haven't seen anyone who could get things up and running this fast before. Honest! [/FONT][/DIV][FONT face=Verdana][/FONT] [/DIV][FONT face=Verdana]> the admins on DV have been farting around like a bunch of retarded monkeys for [SPAN style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"]months [/SPAN]and not a thing has changed. [/FONT][/DIV][FONT face=Verdana][/FONT] [/DIV][FONT face=Verdana]"Months" is an understatement.[/FONT][/DIV][FONT face=Verdana][/FONT] [/DIV][FONT face=Verdana]What most people don't know is that I've been around DV for at least 5 years... I know their history, I know how the board evolved, how the clique of tyrant mods have slowly taken over the place, and all about the powertripping that goes in that cesspool... [/FONT][FONT face=Verdana][/FONT][/DIV][FONT face=Verdana][/FONT] [FONT face=Verdana]Hear this: They've been talking about making the transition to a board with registered names for the past 5 years, not months. [/FONT][FONT face=Verdana][/FONT] [FONT face=Verdana]They always have some lame excuse: Maybe this summer, oops didn't happen maybe this fall then, no how about next winter early next year... and on and on it goes. [/FONT][FONT face=Verdana][/FONT] [FONT face=Verdana]They operate on a "mañana" schedule - it's always going to be sometime "tomorrow", but it's a tomorrow that never comes.[/FONT]

Don't fall for the "banning" trick like poor P.C. did.

There's no such thing on DV - it's a myth. Probably there's a technical problem you're overlooking on your end. Don't give those tyrant [FONT color=#bf5f00]asswipes[/FONT] more credit than they deserve.

I wrote the following as part of my response to UBF in the old forum. I'll quote the relevant part here:

-- start quote --Banning on DV is a myth. It's a lie perpetrated to keep the internet illiterate at bay from acting out irresponsibly on a relatively anonymous bulletin board.

...

The admins as well as mods themselves know that there isn't a damn thing they can do other than "issuing warnings" which in of themselves are just hot air.

Good luck to them trying to "ban" anyone who's on a dynamic IP.

"Oh we can ban the whole domain" is the usual self righteous response to that. Of course, to anyone who's finished grade 2,  that's also more smoke and mirrors.

Yeah, I wanna see them go ahead and ban the whole Telus domain... [img style="CURSOR: pointer" src="http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/konfus/p035.gif[/img]

-- end quote --  So no need to glorify them, or accept any of their BS. If you can post at all, then you're not "banned".  If you're on a high bandwidth connection and you can't access the site (meaning they blocked your IP) just change your IP and post as usual.

My guess is at least 85% of the members here are people who've escaped from the oppression on DV. [/DIV](So far I haven't seen a single name I didn't recognize.) [img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/froehlich/d020.gif" border=0]  This poll should serve to verify my hypothesis.

She should be copy pasting the banner image itself instead of the links associated with the banner.

Like this...

You can't click on the pic above.  

You forgot to add "superb".

Although I see no need to add more complexity right now, I'm curious about the "karma" function? What does it do? How does it work?

> Does "postwhore mean that he posts a lot?  It is a very strange term.  Sounds rather derogatory.

 Ha! Look who's posted while I was writing my last message! [img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/midi/froehlich/a045.gif" border=0]

"postwhore" is a common online term. Almost a term of endearment nowadays. I don't think he'll be offended.Besides I've called him worse names before! [img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/midi/froehlich/a049.gif" border=0]

 It's been less than 24 hrs. since the board has officially opened and she's already spent over 10 hrs. here!  [img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/konfus/a010.gif" border=0]  [DIV align=center][img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/midi/froehlich/a049.gif" border=0]  

I copy pasted the above from the stats page. What I'm really curious about is whether the numbers will change, sort of like live update, as our stats change.

I wouldn't be too surprised if they did - this board has some unbelievable features. A lot of thought and effort must've gone into creating it.

Nice avitar quote GoodTimes.  It'll be neat to have an avitar!  This place seems nice. I'm just doing a first post test. This forum doesn't display 'times when posted'?  Here goes.

Perhaps this is a sign of the fact that with this new board our messages have become timeless!
