Anand: Can we have an article on this upgrade like the previous upgrade? That would be swell.

Everyone: Why are you so happy about 500 PMs? I rarely use that feature let alone having 2 PMs!

Thanks and keep up the good work!

I second the idea for game servers, but in reality, it won't go through. How would AT benefit and how would cost of bandwidth be covered?

PMing: Start talking to people over PM's and you'll realize

Start a subscriber service for it, i mean comon, pay for a decent game server, surely people will pay for that...

A lot of people on the forums trade in the FS/FT forums, start trading and selling and you will soon find out why the 100pm limit sucks

Finally, this place is becoming more like forums.offtopic.com, now for the recall on the no cussing rule......... and custom avatars......

Custom avatars are NOT gunna happen, no way uh uh noooo way.... Its been discussed MANY times...

And what is the "no cussing rule"

At offtopic.com I can say anything I want and not have it ne censored. Here I have to replace letters in words with symbols or other letters like p!ss sh!t fvck cvnt pvssy n*gga, etc...

EDIT: This place feels like a fricking church, I can't cuss or post porn that I host.

 

[EvilYoda]

sweet, no more watching my PMs! Thanks Zuni, Anand, et al!

So stay the hell over at off-topic.com with the rest of the trash if you don't like it here! Even though we have an off-topic forum it is a computer/technology web site, not a playground for kiddies.

All though it is starting to look that way in ATOT.

Edit: Thank you Zuni and Anand. My sub's up in 3 days and I really didn't want to clear out all my PM's

Athlon MPs don't support more than two processors.

If they did though....

Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My subscription still has 211 days, but this is a step in the right direction!

Yeah, an article on the upgrade (with :camera:s) would be brilliant!

Hi guys, we're working on a new forum db upgrade over the next week or 2 quad cpus to boot . Once done, we plan on upping the pm limit to 500 for everyone and turning full text on for everyone.

Cheers.

Thanks Zuni & staff. I been slowly whittling down my PM's and just got it under 500 so I'll be able to use the PM feature again, thanks.

What is Full Text???

You don't understand cause noone likes you, and hence don't wanna PM you

 

[bunker]

What is Full Text???

Full text searching. Right now non-subscribers can only search titles of posts.

 

[Robor]

WooHoo! Thanks for the update, Zuni! Hope the upgrade goes smooth.

And it's worse than that... it only searches for contiguous words in a phrase. In other words, if I searched for "dual athlon workstation" (without the quotes) and there was post titled "dual athlon video-editing workstation," I would not be able to find it. Thankfully, Zuni and friends have decided to lighten up the restrictions which gave us this terrible "feature" in favor of something much more palatable.

Get a life and piss off to off-topic forums

Ohhhh, thanks. I was on the subscription servers and was bumped off. Now I know why I haven't been able to find posts that I know are there.

ETA? When? Now? Soon? Already??? Don't tell me to be patient! Or if you do have to, at least tell me now!


Thank you for this; I do so very much miss the full-text search. And the 100PM limit has nearly driven me to mild insanity a few times already.:Q
