22 May 2002 - By Doctacosa
Edited on May 3, 2006: most of the information available here is no longer relevant since we've moved over to the seventh board: IOBoard!

---

Welcome (back?) everyone! Believe it or not, this is actually the sixth board I use for my website. Only the last 4 were really important though, as the first two didn\'t had any posts from anyone :P

After the website crash a while ago, I had to find a new message board to use. Ikonboard 2.19 and 2.2 weren\'t options anymore, so I spend several days to search and compare different scripts until I put my choice on XMB. I waited for the release of XMB 1.6, then proceeded to fully customize it. What you see now is the result of several weeks of efforts made to have a fully-featured board to have fun with. XMB is a nice script, but it was lacking in several areas. I\'ve made up for that by either applying hacks made by others, or by coding my own functions right into the board. Since several people enjoyed the former Ikonboard, I\'ve made MANY changes into this one so it would keep the same look and feel. I believe I succeeded at that, but it\'s up to you, the users, to tell me :)

... You know, I\'m looking at this board and at the old one right now, and dang this one\'s so much prettier ;)

What has been modified from the original XMB, and new features compared to the old board:

  • WORKING smilies (YES!!). You can now simply click on them while writting your posts to add them
  • Fixed quotes (no more wrong usernames)
  • Spoilers tag (I had to redo it)
  • Improved private messenger
  • Avatar uploader (coded from scratch by myself! :D )
  • Topic descriptions (they aren\'t part of the default XMB)
  • Better looking RPG stats
  • A bunch of stuff that I forgot


What is missing from this board, and that we used to have:
  • Ability to customize the font of all your posts
  • Shadow, glowing and similar effects for texts


I hope that you do appreciate everything I\'m doing for you :P

I remembered one board before the discuss, but I thought it\'d be best if I didn\'t mention them as for the others I just couldn\'t remember them at the time.

What\'s the difference between a Mod, a super mod and a board adviser (the \'dissapeared\' Kujaka)?

Moderator: has control over specific forum
Super mod: has control over all forums
Board advisor: has no real power on the board (can\'t do edit / move / lock), but is there to help as staff.

Which brings me to my next question!

Why is it that this site has Super Moderatrs, but not Regular Moderators?

Because I don\'t think there\'s a point to have someone moderating only a few forums, besides on some special cases (for example, if I had a forum dedicated to someone\'s site, he could have control over that only). Using regular mods wouldn\'t really be efficient: if someone started spamming in multiple forums, he couldn\'t be stopped everywhere. That\'s a frustrating situation.

Yeah, instead of the energy level indicators we had on the old board, this one uses starts instead. The five main user ranks have 1 to 5 stars, 6 for moderators, 7 for super moderators and 8 for the admin (me).

so normal members can\'t be 6-9 unless u make it that way?

I can\'t give a custom number of stars to someone. It\'s directly related to the user rank.

I think Doc\'s had this background since the old old board days..the Discus one? I think that\'s what it was called, Discus.. That was 2001 at least.

You\'re correct :) I first put this imagearound the middle of the life of the Discus board, when I improved it\'s look. That background has been there for a long time, and I don\'t plan to change it either: I think it fits just fine the board.
