I just made some symbolic links on the server that make this forum use the source code and themes from the digitaldevildb.com forum. This way I can do work on both forums simultaneously, so whenever one gets an upgrade so does the other.
There are still some cosmetic problems which I intend to take care of today. But everything should work fine, so I thought might as well not keep the forum in maintenance mode all day while I fix some things.
First plus is this forum shouldn't be seeing anymore bots / Todd can stop worrying about screening newly registered users. I will take care of that right now.
After everything is back to normal I will take out the Google crap too.
============================
Btw, do any of you guys have a computer on normal broadband internet that stays on all day? If so I really need someone to setup a YaCy server which would in theory be our new Google (for crawling/indexing website(s))
I have personally just had no luck with YaCy unfortunately. It won't work on my home internet because my ISP blocks incoming ports (not that it would be any use for websites anyway)
And I have a remote Linux server on a family members internet, but YaCy just refuses to setup a "listening port" in that (Debian) environment for some reason. It's not a very well vetted project I think, but people are using/doing good things with it (if you can get it to work) ...probably it is most compatible with Windows.
I think possibly I could set it up on a new host I'm going to lease, but they want to charge 5$ a month to pay for another IP address which is how they somehow handle services requiring unique ports. But I'm not going to pay 5$ just for that I think (if I did go that way I would probably try to go into business indexing peoples sites for them to pay for the diff)
If I spoke German the development community could probably help me figure out what is wrong, but the English YaCy forums are just a black hole. YaCy btw is how we will be searching the internet in the furture. P2P (fuck Google/wannabes) like Seti and Folding @home. You don't have to connect your server up with the "freeworld" p2p network, though it would let YaCy users (mostly/currently Germans) find som.com etc.
