Trek has posted up his own addon for vbGuild, called Guild Mate, which can be found here. Thanks Trek!

Until now, there's been no vBulletin plugin that supports a guild whose history spans more than one game, one server, or with members having multiple characters in the same game. vbGuild is made with those guilds in mind. Define games, servers for those games, and traits for each game. A trait can be a text input value like surname or crafter type, a dropdown for values like race, class, or level, a radio button, or a check box. Set up each game's character history exactly as you want it... [Read More]

I'm sure vbGuild users have noticed the pace of enhancement updates hasn't been as quick as we'd like. We're not happy with that either. Starting today, Christopher 'Twisted Chaos' Matuszak is joining as a freelance coder from Twisted Effects. He's a long-time member of vbulletin.org and has extensive coding experience.

He'll begin by rewriting the code base for better AJAX, vBulletin style usage, and error handling. Once that's done he'll continue on with all the planned... [Read More]

UI paid a developer, Shmee, to make a vbDynamics module that will show the associated thread when viewing an article. The module is available -- free of charge -- in its forum.

You all know how this goes; start with flattery and conclude with the reacharound. Of course, it's easy to flatter Sanya but I already did my best work offline which is why she's agreed to come on board as both a partner and UI's editor-in-chief. Tweety's e-fame started with a very brutal verbal colon cleansing for EQ1's devs and she's gotten sharper since. As Mythic's lead community manager, she kept up the wit and managed to stay a real human from her lofty post. It's not easy having to... [Read More]

The graphic designer I hired is taking a really long time delivering so I thought to maybe open this up as a contest with a cash prize. The contest rules are simple. I'll decide on a winner by Sunday March 8th. The winner will get $100 via PayPal or check, your choice. You'll also get a one year Paid Perks subscription to this board which is worth another $24. It's possible that none of the submissions might win because they're all butt ugly; I reserve the right to mock you and not award... [Read More]

The stated aim of this site is to have a completely unmoderated forum. (Incidentally, “unmoderated” in no way implies “no banning,” in case you were wondering how we would deal with that one dickcheese who shows up in every forum for the sole purpose of metaphorically sticking his fingers in his ears and screaming LALALALALALA. And gold spammers.) That doesn’t mean you’re supposed to hang your ass out and act like a moron. It means you are capable of moderating your own posts.

This works we... [Read More]

The ideal candidate will know PHP, mySQL, and the vBulletin plugin/product API. This will be a series of small side jobs. Some for straight pay, some for a percentage of product sales. Post in the discussion thread if interested.

The point is simple, every time a new MMO we're stuck on the same old boards; the Vault or some other over-moderated hellhole. Even the companies we thought would be cool, that started small, sold out as soon as they got some well-paying advertisements for Pampers Baby Wipes or Disney Toontown that stipulated nazi moderation. Next thing you know, shit and fuck are coming through as blank and blank in your motherblanking posts. A lot of the visitors here have been around, you know exactly what I... [Read More]

No one gives a fuck...yet. I've begun running RSS news feeds for the games that have them.
