Me 1: Bots 30 |
Well, it's finally happened. what? I finally beat the bots, forsure. Usually a bot'll get around my very limited secuirty and I'll be pissed, but it stops most bots. Well, my news register system has been beating bots, for good. How do I know?About 5 bots signed up, with names like "FREE PORN!" and "MEDS4U". Here's the deal, they've never once commented, why? Because bots just login with that detail once, forget it, and spam up. Well, the login page for my news system is, NOTHING. They'd have to go back to each post, write their deal, then login to post, but the bots can't do that. So it's official, I beat bots. The Spam poison had been beating a lot of the bots, butsome of the really good one's can ignore it. So, without further stalling: FUCK YOU BOTS! I finally did it.
Working on more background stuff, not sure when it'll be done. Some of it relies on the other admins when they get their content up then it'll be shown. I also should have a code for my code section up soon. More then likely in two days, or less.

Forums back |
The forums are back. The deal is now it's not working properly and I had to do a fresh install. I couldn't figure out how to fix the problem, so that sucks. I backed up everything important, except usernames, and it's not allowing me to upload them, or it's not installing them. This is very tiresome and annoying. Hopefully in the next few weeks I can get the forums working properly. A lot of private stuff going on these days, and it seems more then likely the new admins will start to post stuff once I get this super secret thing done. As it'll then allow them to do what they want to do, and let me be lazy. Currently I'm showing it off to some of the admins and seeing how they like what I've got set up so far or not. A lot of production done today, none you really get to see, other then the forums, which are a nice place to chat.

A major site update |
Yesterday we had two worthless updates, which I now wished I held for today. First off I fixed the layout. Apparently I left a giant empty table uptop which led to the layout being misplaced and down low. Second because I got tired of looking at blank pages I sked each admin what their favorite color was and made a layout based off that. Once they send me a layout or a design then their's will change. As we all know, it takes a lot for me to get tired of a layout not being there. I mean, Elvenmonk.net first started off (I mean when I first got the .net) as a blank page saying "Waiting for files to be transfered! But download these songs!" Then listed 3 of my friends and their songs they made. For about 7 months, maybe 5. Then I just updated it to a simple frame based layout, then that got wiped (server problems) and it was a blank page again for 4 months, then I added a new layout. Then the site went down, completely(major server problems) then it came up as a white page for 2 months, then I got this layout working. That's not even counting the ammount of times when it was .tk when it was blank. Next I added a Links section to my profile. You can now see what sites I visit often, forums I post on, and games I play. It'll be updated more as time goes by. I also put my usernames incase you wanted to contact me. I then fixed some other layout problems. See, when I first was working on this layout I got tired of making a new one, so I went and found one someone else did and then modified it so it looked more like how I imagined mine then added the colors and all this. Well, the people I got it from had very sloppy code. Commas, quotes, brackets, everything misplaced. It's what made it take so long to load. So now I fixed it and it loads faster as it's not fixing the code as it goes. What I find funny is the people expected people to donate $10 for the layout when it was designed very shittily.
So in cap: Fixed layout/load times, added designs to portfolios, added a new section in my portfolio, and said the history of .net.
Edit: I also added a register page for commenting on the main index only.

Two worthless updates |
I got rid of the Winzy ad as Winzy no longer sends their products out. Yes, they started ripping off their customers so I took down the ad. Second update I updated my profile. I added my Zune card to my profile and there's a bigger version of it in my "about me" area. Working on a new spot for my profile should be up in less then a week.

Monthly goals! |
You know I always do this.
So my monthly goals:
- Fix the forums (without having to do a total reset)
- start working on Olrox's and I's secret project (though this more so relies on him)
- Try to get each area it's own RSS feed. Gets annoying when there's 5 Elvenmonk.net's you're registered to.
- Finish the reviews I'm working on.
- (This one being the least likely) Finish the textbased adventure I've been working on.
- Work on an even newer secret project! This time it'll be solo so it'll rely on me to get it done.
Also, a friendly reminder, I personally hate April Fools and will never do one on Elvenmonk.net. If another admin chooses to do so, then they can.
