Title: Chat Post by: kairob on November 12, 2011, 06:22:31 pm Any chance of a chat feature?
EDIT: Sorry it's a short and blunt post without my usual bollocks making it look clever but I am too tired so **** it. EDIT 2: Oh, I can't say ****? Title: Re: Chat Post by: mattjgilbert on November 12, 2011, 07:34:48 pm I thought you could say what the **** you like on here
...obviously not! Title: Re: Chat Post by: mattl on November 12, 2011, 07:39:27 pm Really?
Testing with the famous 7-dirty words. The original seven words are: **** **** **** **** **** Motherfucker **** In his comedy special Carlin commented that at one point, a man asked him to remove motherfucker because, as a derivative of ****, it constituted a duplication.[ Title: Re: Chat Post by: mattl on November 12, 2011, 07:39:41 pm Wow.

Title: Re: Chat Post by: Darsc Zacal on November 12, 2011, 07:59:50 pm The blockage of words like **** and **** seem to be a result of the sotware inherent in the forum, and not anything the Admins have set up.
Interesting. Cause it wasn't always this way. Title: Re: Chat Post by: kairob on November 12, 2011, 10:09:35 pm I think I should edit the title of this thread to "A discussion of saying **** in the forum" and asking an admin to move it to off topic. ;)
Title: Re: Chat Post by: scarletsquig on November 12, 2011, 10:39:50 pm This topic is fucking shite. :)
As for the chat feature, you could use the Shoutbox... that's basically what it's supposed to be, a site-wide chatbox for people to post random crap in. Title: Re: Chat Post by: kairob on November 12, 2011, 11:23:40 pm Fuck me you broke the filter!

Oh, I don't know... This thread seems to have most of the shite... ::) The swear filter was implemented outside our control, due to the licensing nature of the free forum software. To remove it you have to subscribe to a package to remove both the filter and the ads. You can then also add a banner/footer and all that guff. Title: Re: Chat Post by: mattjgilbert on November 21, 2011, 12:57:29 pm How much is it?
Title: Re: Chat Post by: mattl on February 25, 2012, 05:17:38 am Can we export stuff out of here? I'm tempted to just throw some free software up on one of my servers...
Title: Re: Chat Post by: scarletsquig on February 25, 2012, 07:19:53 am There should be the option to backup the forum database in the admin panel, which could then be loaded into a seperate SMF build: http://www.simplemachines.org/ hosted on a different server, with all the posts and login details preserved.
Forum software we're currently running is all open-source so it really is just the hosting that we need, actually moving the data should be easy. A domain name would be kinda nice too, ideally manticfanatics.com. It would not cost a lot. Title: Re: Chat Post by: mattl on February 25, 2012, 07:10:08 pm Someone already has it. :/ Anyway, if its nobody here, i'll pick up manticfanatics.org and host the forum. |
