Site Updates

[Timenn]

We are aware of it. Gob will be back soon enough and we'll see what to do to the registrations.

[Acriku]

Oh and Gob, would it be possible to make the search function accept requests to search certain forums for any and all posts by one user? Because see, I want to just see how some users have changed over time, but I don't want to spend days searching through one forums, looking for all of their posts.  :D And the search function won't allow me to search for anything without putting in a search term.

Oooo, a dangerous road you're taking buddy. You'll see some crazy sh!t that you'll wish you never saw: Me believing in God, for instance. *girl screams heard* Yeah, I know. Crazy.

Actually Gob's trip was over about a week ago, and he still hasn't shown up.

Must be raising my money....

[nemafakei]

Maybe your Mexican Bandito Pirates got him?

[Gobalopper]

Gob lives, he is just busy right now.

[erjin999]

There we have it, the Word of Gob.

main page seems to be down...

[Andrew]

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: fetchrow() in /home/.kansas/gobalopper/www/dune2k.com/public_html/index.php on line 216

I'm guessing it happened when stefan tried to put up news?

[Gobalopper]

Yeah Stefan broke it. :)

[Andrew]

Fe2k is slow right now, non responsive. When I tried to first make this post I got:

[erjin999]

It failed to load for me for a while yesterday. Web page cannot be found. That was when I tried to reply to a post, but other tabs on this same website failed also. Other websites were working fine while this happened.

[Gobalopper]

You can check http://dreamhoststatus.com/ if the site is down. That has information on what is going on with our hosting company. Lately they've been having a number of problems and had to take all sites offline for a bit a few nights ago. Things should be improved now though.

[erjin999]

i thought we were on 1and1 ?

[nemafakei]

What is the function of "Buddies" in our profiles?

[Dunenewt]

Nema, will you be my buddy?

[nemafakei]

Only if you promise not to steal my dinner-money.

[Dunenewt]

That was a one off, do you keep having to bring it up?  I mean, you didn't even do my maths homework that week!

[gunner154]

Apparently, we've been witnessing a little more advertisements on this site. People are registering new accounts to advertise.

I think one of them was removed but a new one popped up recently. Do we have a more... permanent solution about this, if it even exists?

[Gobalopper]

Unfortunately not at the moment.

[Dunenewt]

Can't we introduce a system where you have to enter a verification code, which is found in a picture?  Other sites use this now.

[Gobalopper]

Yeah, I think the upgrade I just did to the forums should help.

[Dunenewt]

Yeah it does.

I'm skimming through old backup CDs of mine (looking for a game I used to play since I cant download it form HOTU since ISP blocks the port and the small file downlaods only allow one per 12 hours and  there is 12 parts argh)

I came across a dune generations wallpaper from April 18, 2004 (could be older, but that is when put on CD).

I looked in Fed2k downloads but didn't see any. Did we ever host them?

Link to 2 wallpapers

Think I still have about 200 MB of worhtless demo material from that game. If you're lucky you can find a pre-release demo or even the origional beta game somewhere. The game itself (or the servers which should be running it) have been canceled a few years back due to Cryo's end.

[Andrew]

Has any other game combined RTS battles in space and on land? (I'm guessing star wars has, but don't remember any others)
