Okay, we've struck a deal with our current host for the time being. The total amount of donations we received at this time is 35 euros. Many thanks to those few members for the support! As you can probably imagine, that won't last even a quarter of a year though, but it is most certainly welcome and...

Well, what other types of files are there that could be resource lists, detailing the contents of the FILE archives?

[4] Size of current resource (including 32bit Size variable) [n] Resource data The data is padded into chunks of 2048. So the next resource begins offset = ((Size - (Size mod 2048) / 2048) +1) *2048 EDIT: On second thought, it may not be as as simple as that. There could be a list file somewhere th...

Yes, the core concept is "open". So to put too many restrictions is not an option. We are currently working on possible deal with our host. The problem with "unlimited" bandwith is that a lot those companies do limit the bandwidth when things get out of hand. At the end of the da...

Yes, there are still some, look at the google ads bar above if you go to a forum. I checked the logs and there are no DDOS attacks, there's just a lot of forum activity. I did add some bots to the robots.txt file, just to be sure to get rid of those I saw. You must realize we use a lot of images and...

Nice rant, but let's look at the Kilobytes of traffic generated by the different forum pages being loaded in December. 13382732 24.38% /viewtopic.php 6086338 11.09% / 5502153 10.02% /viewforum.php 4166194 7.59% /ucp.php 1190957 2.17% /forum/viewtopic.php 1134286 2.07% /download/file.php 955745 1.74%...

You are spot on. Our analyses shows that only as little as about 30% of all registered members ever posted anything. That must mean - as downloads are only for registered users - that 70% just come in to download and not contribute themselves. However, I must state that there are and have been many ...

COOL!

Indeed, if you browse through the forum, you'll notice that a lot of people already use those 'free' hosting sites, and in fact, forum attachments are only allowed to be 256Kb in size, so bigger files will have to be presented at third party sites. However, tools and other type of software is stored...

Thank you!

The donation campaign, the first ever, has started. viewtopic.php?f=22&t=5728

As stated in the following email that you, as a member of the forum, got, you learned about our new donation campaign: Hi Game Reseachers and fans, We need your donations. If you feel you should help out, use PayPal and <check picture for emailaddress> as the email address to donate to. Why? Here's ...

Interesting. That could prove handy for the Batch functionality in MultiEx Commander.

Not showing. Will need to look into that. I've noticed that phpbb sometimes does not send admins the emails to approve new applications. That sucks. So for now, I leave it at this and please get rid of spammers if you see em. Just delete their posts and ban their asses. I will look into the recaptch...
