Wow! I was looking though my old stuff online, and I was surprised to see that this site is alive again. Awesome! Long time no see

For anyone who used to post over there, the BBGameZone forum apears to be back online. (http://community.bbgamezone.net/index.php)   (Hope this isn't considered spam, I know that there's a few people here who have accounts there)

  Not necessarily true, if the owner has all the copyrights, then the owner can re-license future releases however they want. The only time you'd have to re-write parts of a project is if there are other people with copyrights over portions of the code other than the owner. This is why most projects make the contributors sign a CLA like this: https://www.openoffice.org/licenses/jca.pdf

Outch :( not surprising though, since almost all of the stolen templates that the shady non-producers have been "selling" are actually yours.

I've got a VPS with HostGator, only my less-important sites, and only because I haven't got around to moving all my sites to my other VPS at another company. They were a good hosting company at first, but last year there's been serious downtime. They swapped my IPs without any warning (on the 4th of July almost full year ago) which knocked my sites offline as a side-effect. They moved my site from a fast datacenter(SoftLayer) to a slow datacenter (the one in Provo :mad:) without warning. All their servers went offline all day on August 2nd. Then on New Years Eve their servers decided to take the day off, so instead of going off to a New Years Eve party I had to spend the evening moving the most important sites (from Backups) to my other host so that any business email would still go through. Making problems worse, whenever they have big problems they "lose" their phone connection at the same time.   Did I mention that by having a VPS, they said I'm getting much better service then the people on the shared hosting.... :eek:

He'll have their email, so he can have it setup to send them a temporary password. "a uniquely generated character code that is e-mailed to them"   When the user can log in with their email address + temp password, you can easily have the user pick their username and password later.

At least you've got an excuse. Most of the time the government doesn't know what the government is currently doing. O.o

Gamble - That might be the logical way for it to work... that's how it works with strings. I myself would root for it being powers of 2.   Actually what the (11) does is: absolutely nothing at all!

Then why do you post short little messages that people have to reply to in order to find out what you mean?   If you weren't looking for an argument then you could have put your objections/questions in your first post. I don't think you had a point, you just ride the conversation as it goes.   You started with: And in your last post you put:   No, you weren't just asking.

I think what bloodless2010 means is that the source code for Devana is extremely hard to read, due to to being written a bit compactly and not having any comments at all.

There's a slight difference between calling a function and defining it.

The way Razor has it set up, all you have to do is not add check_travel() to that page.

"File Jesus"? Is it like MegaUpload? :D   (Sorry for the off-topic)

The main difference is that Mysqli has 2 big new improvements: prepared statements and built-in transactions.   Both of them have big flaws and gotchas, but at least they exist. The "it's more secure" thing is true, but over-hyped; people who wrote secure Mysql_ will write secure Mysqli, the people who wrote insecure Mysql_ will manage to write insecure Mysqli, you can be sure of that.   There's a lot of little things that I just don't like about Mysqli so I've been making a wrapper for Mysqli for my framework, I might make a post about it here sometime after I finish writing the online documentation for it.

Also remember that <b> and <strong> aren't the same tag. Voice readers that blind people use will treat <b> as just styling on the page, and say the word like normal text. <strong> is actually for words in a sentence that you want to emphasize strongly, so that's what voice readers do when they read over them. If you put your navigation bar or a paragraph of text in <strong> it will sound ridiculous. Of course there's also CSS' font-weight:bold; too.

I'm not sure if that's the right perspective to view it from... Players don't start off wanting to play your game. You've got to give people something (Pictures, Screenshots, Video) to make them WANT to play your game. Only after *wanting* to play the game will they make the effort.   You'll have to make at least the intro page be cross-browser so that you can drag players in. There's no way around it.

Awesome =)

It's possible, but Ajax is better then frames and iframes.   - If a user has Javascript enabled, have it use Ajax, much better experience. - If a user doesn't has Javascript enabled, have the iframe, but add a meta-refresh inside the iframe's content. (Also tell them to turn JS back on)

While Photoshop is the most powerful, what I use is Gimp because it's got everything I need, and it's also free so it fits in my (negative-profit) budget. Paint.NET is catching up, I've got it on both my computers, but I still use Gimp.

So you're saying that you can find a person's age by subtracting the age they claim they are, by the date google.com was created.... You're also saying that you can determine who a scammer is, based on how old they are...

If it's not a memory-intensive site and you know what it's doing then MultiViews is a valid method to use. You'll also want to set a 406 error page if you've got MultiViews turned on.

If you only could pick one then you would need to pick Procedural, since the speed of the fetch functions will matter.

The problem with Mysqli is that a lot of the time the procedural and the OO functions aren't the same speed, there's a lot of cases where the procedural function is faster than the OO function, on the other hand, on a couple functions (I can't remember which) the OO version is faster due to not needing the extra var. With Mysqli, mixing OO and Procedural is the best way to go   Thanks! I've been looking everywhere for an article to print onto toilet paper =) (just kidding)

Never use .tk   .tk is maintained by a Dutch company that will wait for your site to get popular and then reclaim the domain name and put a page of ads on it.

That might explain it.   EIG moved all the Bluehost and HostGator customers to a small data center and is trying to stuff them onto not enough servers. (I'm in the process of moving my sites from HostGator right now)
