Title: Site Updates!
Post by: Mayhem on November 12, 2013, 11:21:14 AM
Last night I was able to finish updating all non-forum pages. The pages should load much quicker now. If you see any weird alignment issues, let me know.

Also, the forum word censor has been lifted for 99% of the cheat sites - so feel free to talk about your favorite autos!

Please keep in mind that any forum topic or post made for the sole purpose of advertising -or- being hostile towards any auto maker will be deleted.

On another note - I've had requests in the past to enable the Karma / Reputation feature. Is this something you guys are still interested in?

If you have any ideas or suggestions for the site, please post them in this thread!

What is the Karma/Reputation feature? I don't know anything about this.

Karma is a feature that shows the popularity of a member. Members (if allowed) can 'applaud' or 'smite' other members, which is how their popularity is calculated.

Your Karma shows up under your name in your profile. Also, I can disable the "smite" feature (and rename the 'applaud' and 'smite' links to anything else).

May we know what you would like us to avoid?

Aside from calculating popularity or lack thereof, is there any other purpose?  Are "applauds"  or "smites"  done anonymously?

I would mention which sites to avoid, but they are pretty much no-name and have fallen off the radar - so I don't believe anyone would mention them anyways. You will know if/when you see them word censored.

No other purpose really, just an added feature that was requested over the years. The "applauds"  and "smites"  are done anonymously and are limited to once per hour per person.

That has been there and it reports the post to the Admin since there are no mods here. You also have to give a reason for the report. I use it to report people who post their email or Pogo name. Also use it to report people being nasty or trying to give out bad info that can get you in trouble. lol

Yes - but technically a post like that falls under "Please keep in mind that any forum topic or post made for the sole purpose of advertising -or- being hostile towards any auto maker will be deleted."

Aww, it isn't advertising, she hates me, lol, I just know the autos work the best.

PS, I noticed you had deleted my post in your help topic where I asked where someone got the Windows 11 at since I only know about the latest version Windows 8.1 formally Windows Blue.

Pretty sure it was either yesterday or the day before. I figured you just wanted relevant replies to your topic so I didn't say anything about it. It isn't a big deal, if it had of been I would of PM'ed you about it like I always do.

I also haven't seen Homer on in a while. Is he OK? I noticed his last post was on: July 08, 2013, 04:14:34 pm even though he was on today around 6pm.

I think I'd like to try the karma feature.  My only hesitation is that people will react emotionally to it on both sides; posters may use the feature as retaliatory for some reason and the person receiving that treatment (whether deserved or not) may have feelings hurt.  Anyway, I think maybe a trial period would be interesting.   magnifier.gif

I have emailed him two or three times in the past 2 or 3 months asking if he is ok.  I have not gotten a response.  I hope he's alright.

As of right now, site banners and the download section are being reserved for paid advertisers.

Running a site like this isn't cheap. To handle the traffic we get, we're using a dedicated server (with all static content offloaded on a CDN) - not some $10/month hosting plan.

Hooray!

I am just happy that we can actually talk about our experiences honestly without the truth being used as a ban hammer by certain people NOT named Mayhem/Homer. Many of us received a bunch of nasty emails/messages for saying what was true.

I will continue to help people, especially with how to set up their autos for the long haul.

Thank you Ken for doing this. I know it is not cheap but it was time.

Yes, feel free to talk about / link to other auto sites. All I am asking is not to create new threads/posts for the sole purpose to advertise those sites.

Donations are always greatly appreciated. If you would like to donate, please scroll to the bottom of any forum page and you should see a PayPal donate link.

I totally understand and it makes sense..I always tried to send people info via PM but that was always blocked too...The changes will make it nice for people to get the help they need.
I never noticed the box at the bottom..TY..
