jesus christ its getting worse. there are like 4 simaltaneous "where to get my car painted" threads.

 

We already have something like that now to a limited degree, try signing off and seeing what forums are available. As for reputation, vB3 does have that and I have asked sung about enabling it, but he said not to. I'm not entirely sure it would work anyway. Who knows, maybe we'll turn it on and see what happens, then again maybe not

As for the registrations being disabled I can't give a time, only that it will hopefully be sooner rather than later.

Wow, that was nice and vague

 

I use vb3. I wanna see it...turn it on.

 

Reputations isn't a feature specific to the vB3 style, but rather of vB3 itself.

Ahh. Ok I was thinking about vb3 style. Sorry.

 

10 to 1 that it's just an oopsie on our (read: my) part. There is a list of banned IP addresses, and every once in a while, someone's IP by chance happens to change to one that's on the ban list. I try to clear the list on occassion, but yeah. My bad.

And new registrations are off for the time being. It'll get turned back on once I have things set up more concretely with an AOL TOS rep to deal with trolls (hence the newest user).


As for user reputations... uh. I'll let Eng deal with that because I know exactly nil about it.

 

Oh I see. It's no big deal. I hardly ever use her computer when I'm over there anyways because she has 56K, so it didn't bother me.

 

id like to thank the staff for trying to figure something out... i know the OG's oppreciate it. i get on drag thinking i havent seen a level of stupidity ever achieved, but there are such marvels as 89Integra, boosted2003 etc etc to up that bar.

 

I agree. Drag needs a trial period. and restricted forums.

 

on one of the other forums i frequent (not sure which one... i think it's a 300z board) there's a rule where you can't post in the for sale section until you have proven yourself as a worthwhile member of the community. The mod/admin then gives you permission.

this might be an idea for us... i know it would be a lot of work, but the majority of the idots come from the for sale/wanted section, so perhaps putting restrictions might deter them because they won't want to be bother proving themselves?
