either that or they have extended the 'currently viewing' timeframe. i think its originally based on activity in the last 5mins but they could easily adjust the collection time to like 1-2hrs of more so they have an inflated number of 'current' users. it's adjustable in phpbb at any rate there is no way in fuck there are 13 members and 22 guests there right now, viewing the 3 new threads which were made in the last 24hrs.... faking it!
Good to see you. What happened at BBF was a bloody shame....and really quite pointless. It seems as if all the mods/admins got smeared by the acts of a few. No one has any reason to blame *you*, or to make you unwelcome.
By default, vbulletin is set to time out inactive members/guests in 15 minutes (900 seconds). I don't change ours to some other number under the assumption that every other site keeps theirs at the 900 second value and comparing our online to someone else's online is a "like" figure.
Well, I'd argue it being a shame or pointless. For whatever the reason, a large number of people felt the environment wasn't fun, so they switched to an environment they did find fun. Switching forums on the internet is free, easy and therefore, in my opinion, the best way to resolve the issue. I think recriminations, at this point, are pointless. This forum serves a certain number of posters better (the rest just moved to keep the group together) and it's really not that important why. Both sides (BBF moderators and the users who fought with them) feel victimized. Both tried to do right as they saw it...and perceptions clashed.
As some of you remember we left another site to go to BBF back in 2002. I didn't post much the last couple of years. It didn't seem like our board anymore..........then I belatedly found out ABM had been banned, and being the follower that I am I searched you all out. I will lurk here now only posting when I have some nonsensical drivel to share. I'm already up to three posts, should only take five or six years to get to 100.
The Mother ship has left BBF so I followed everyone here. I dont post much but I to like the Blazers!
Your name has been mentioned a few times. I hope you post some of those homemade blazer videos and provide some links over here. I know you are still a mod over there, which is all good . . . but share with the Blazer masses. Cool to see so many jump abaord. Can we break 100 members during a game thread . . . it would make a great game thread. Go Blazers!
lol, the censorship continues - now not only is 'SportsTwo' on the blacklist but now 'S2' is masked @ BBF-uckingparanoidmuch.com people cant even reference the site by a loose abbreviation proof
Is furball here? That Sweet Basil picture with the special olympics pic next to it is fucking classic. Anyone who doesn't think it is funny is way off in my book. Then another one of those dipshits took offense to it. Make fun of me, I might get mad. Make fun of me in a brilliant way and I will probably laugh.
you can't post there? meh, I only attack if its within the context of the post as a whole (i.e., I don't troll, although I've been accused of frequently) and never personal attacks.
I was worried for a while that there would be this long, protracted double-life for the group between two boards. I'm happy to see everyone making their way here.
