Title: Really this newspost is just an excuse to use that anigif
Post by: Rolken on April 18, 2007, 10:59:40 pm
Site undergoing surgery; beware of falling beams.

Stardust is being converted to F-Man's CSS doohickie; additionally, Chaos Angel is up, though probably not quite in its final form. Complaints, observations or stuff I've overlooked (particularly in the Stardust styles conversions) will be entertained.

If you haven't seen it or don't visit the forums (shame on you), mike89 and RPG are running their biennial Top Ten (http://www.soniccenter.org/forum/index.php?topic=947.360), with this iteration's theme ranking the Titanic Tussles of TSC.

Update: So TSC went down for about an hour again, for (I think) the third time in the past couple weeks. Why? Because people program stupid bots that ignore robots.txt and hit the site as much as they can fit through their pipes, TSC has tens of thousands of generated pages, and Gerbil's server quite reasonably isn't beefy enough to handle all that load at once. We've been blacklisting badly behaved bots as they appear, but it seems that there's just too much crappy software out there, so I've put on a user agent whitelist until we can get a more permanent solution.

More different update: I've been notified that the registration button hasn't been working. This has been rectified.

Chaos Angel so far looks okay just not my kind of skin though.

I'll say this again, in a place where it won't be as lost.  The Chaos Angel skindoesn't show up on the forums.  Also, nice to know it's not finished.  It needs the interior to fill that empty space.

On the note of the Top 10's, I'm aware I should have posted #6 yesteray and be posting #5 today but I was slaving over a stupid assignment all day yesterday and never got a look at it.

Youll get #6 in a short while, and #5 some time tonight~

Yeah, CSS is linked wrong when using "Full Forum" view. There is no /skins/standard/standard.css and /skins/standard/chaos_angel/main.css

Empty space?

I agree with Quartz, a massive interior hall of some sort needs to be placed in the background. Perhaps the center of it can even hold *gaspo* teh master emerald shrine or something

actually, I've got a prety cool idea for this skin's background now, but I'm not sure if it would work or not. Maybe I'll try and make a mock up or something, though I really just phail at spriting

Yeah, we need some interior to go with the skin. Since the site's undergoing surgery, if things get bad, use the healing touch. A cookie to who gets the reference. *Hands Dr. Rolken a vitals boosting syringe.*

OK, registration is working, but you do NOT recieve a confirmation E-mail. You instead get an error. This also happens whenever you post to the forum.
