LM upgraded to SMF version 2.0
« on: September 03, 2011, 01:57:30 PM »
Allo,

Finally SMF released the long awaited version 2.0 of their free to use forum software.  We've now upgraded to it.  Registration which has been closed for some time now due to spam bots is now open.  Hopefully the mixed of higher security on the new software and LM no longer being hosted on the spam heaven which is GoDaddy will bring back the calm that existed here before.

Good. Though I still prefer IPB ;) Course it ain't free lol.

Any questions, and also Captcha, during registration will help considerably. Ask the bots if they're bots. :P lol OpenID support.

I got used to LM being dark... lol

One bot got through the extreme difficulty captcha already.  Damn.  So now there's 4 questions to pass. I'm going to add "Are you a human?".  Shit LM discriminates...how sad..I'm sure some of the old themes are no longer compatible so I reset everyone to the default one in case.

Yeah, many get past captcha's, that's why I have questions too. :D

Yeah I went to look, they're still there, decided not to switch earlier for the same reason you mentioned now.

When D3 comes out we'll make a nice sub forum for it and hopefully get some people back here posting about the game.

Meh, it's just cause 420 hasn't been around much in the last week it seems, for some reason. (or just didn't have nuthin' to post about, I guess) I check the forum 80 times a day and post all over the fuck, but he's the one who makes all the topics. lol.

Sweet, I'll be all over that. Throbblefoot and I are still hoping to get into the closed beta when the next round of people are selected.

Yeah with the releases of Brink and Deus Ex: Human Revolution combined with the various computer/internet difficulties and recent family obligations I've been out-of-touch for awhile. (Shit just remembered that I need to get my car smogged, the tags have been expired for 2 months now!) I haven't even been able to finish the final Purple Dragon quest because there is just too much crap going on.

On topic: I like the new forums, didn't take long to get used to the interface and it seems to have carried all the information (avatars, old PMs, etc.) over nicely.

Very cool,
