I think that I walked right into that hole didn't I. I will try and put my brain in gear before my typing from now in. Another problem that I have is that I keep hitting the wrong keys (must trim my finger nails short) and I keep hitting the buttons that clear typing i.e. the Alt and Insert buttons. Oh and I should also have said that my punctuation is really bad!

just observey

i aint here to assess post brilliance just thought it might be mildly ammusing to add "faulty R" to your list of attributes

and i've had another thought forum groans as one

maybe custom ranks could be allowed to those with a 700+ or 1000+ post count? they needn't be self done either. they could be requested from Illusion and so therefore any unsuitable ranks simply wouldn#'t get through and since there aren't many with such a post count it wouldn't be excessive work? could be a sorta reward for loyal posters

good idea? yay nay?

You get a new rank for every 500 posts you make at this forum:

P

however they seem to have 3 times the number of registered users and quite possibly more regulars

also, if someone reaches the highest rank here...(Knight? or is there a higher one.) then what...

I

Knight is the highest rank for 500+ posts. There is no higher rank.

The forum does not allow any extra ranks, although it is possible to add another custom title in addition to the rank title.

I have thought about letting people who reach over 1000 posts to specify a custom title alongside their rank. The only problem I see is probably a few years down the line when loads of people reach 1000 posts leading to an admin knightmare

Yeah, good idea I think. Perhaps the first 15 people to reach 1000 posts will get a custom title but I hope that won't encourage people posting unnecessarily just to boost their post count.

P

nah, that way leads to sp4mm4g3 of sp4m

you could just take requests off regulars, like Emii and GG when they get high of their own accord and refuse at will what more could an evil admin want (nothing personal...all admins are deep down evil )

Pudding? What was that reference to lil moi? I don't geddit sniffles

P

pudding? where pudding?

G

I'm sure there are better forums out there

Oh, don't be so modest!

It took me so long to work out what this was about. Having rather presumptuously just searched for my username and its derivatives, I found this and got totally confused before backtracking wildly through the threads. Is Illusion planning some sort of cabaret performance, I wondered, to which Emii and I might be lucky enough to "submit requests"? Was this concert some sort of bizarre website advertising campaign? Why were we the only two people invited to choose Illusion's playlist? And we're only allowed to choose the songs when we "get high", apparently. (Is his singing that bad?) I was glad, however, that I'd only be allowed to pick my musical favourites for Illusion's rendition if I'd got high of my "own accord", rather than if Emii had been spiking my drinks, or something similar. That seemed logical, if a little superfluous.

Oh, I was going to contribute seriously to this thread. On the colours issue, I've always thought this board does things best by keeping the colour scheme simple, and of course, tasteful. (Anyone who's almost been blinded by FTN's shades will know what I mean.)

I suppose there's always a danger of people spam-posting, whether or not you allow "elite" ranks (if it were possible) or additional titles to people with a certain postcount. Just having ranks themselves can be an incentive for some people to post excessively, and it happens on most forums. (Stop looking at me! I honestly don't think I ever really did post much when I had nothing to say!) Cliche for the day: The solution and preventative measure is just good old fashioned common sense on the part of posters and Admin., both of which thankfully are exhibited on these boards.

Knight is the highest rank for 500+ posts. There is no higher rank.

The forum does not allow any extra ranks, although it is possible to add another custom title in addition to the rank title.

Just thought I'd mention that- unless you've added something specifically incompatible with it- a code change to add more ranks is indeed possible. The fact it's possible doesn't necessarily make it desirable, however.

M

I've just noticed that the forum address has changed!

R

yeah, I noticed it the other day, when i did the ol' knightmare.info and it said 'this website has noe been moved to talkknightmare.co.uk'

Does anybody know why?

E

Probably because there were too many problems with people not being able to access it and the site going down and stuff.

I

Hi. The only reason why the address was changed was because a UK domain is cheaper to maintain than others.

W

Illusion, would you be kind enough to recommend a good host, im looking to buy a domain - just wondering if you've had any good/bad experiences...

I

Hi. Well if you're only looking to register a domain and require web and e-mail forwarding (so you can have your website anywhere e.g. on some free webspace, and use the domain to forward to that webspace), then I would recommend www.123-reg.co.uk as they are cheap and have a good control panel to manage your domains. I've not had a problem with them so far in nearly two years.

M

Yawn Is it just me or does this forum seem quite slow tonight?

Hey I was thinking the other day that some of the old regulars who used to be here a lot, haven't been on here for months. Okay you lot now where have you all dissappeared to then?
