Improving Gamingforce

Changing the new user registration captcha system to ReCaptcha should eliminate 900,000 of them.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Upgrading to VBulletin 4 will cost $175. $250 if you wanna throw in all those fancy CMS features.

Compare the features: http://www.vbulletin.com/index.php?do=features

Only the expensive version seems to have RSS for threads and blogs.

While I concur that there is no need to emulate Facebook or Twitter, there is something we can learn from the games within Facebook. Although most are casual games that require merely a few clicks to play, people keep returning and returning to these games on a clockwork basis. Perhaps the Arcade can be revamped to draw in, and more importantly, keep some new blood.

Many of the Facebook games lets you spend money to get ahead in the game, and a small minority of people do seem to bite. This can possibly be a small way to recover server costs, in lieu of outright donations.

24/7 Santa Sleigh / Ace Combat action, on a separate page maybe? Lolocaust 2.0?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Just curious. Aside from ChocoJournal, what else might need recoding? Extensions that come to mind for me are (1) dice roller (2) props and disses and (3) VBSEO, and that's it.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Maybe because it's running on Dreamhost or some shared hosting.

I was speaking idiomatically.
