Typically it means a bot got kicked out when trying to connect.

But that is also cause I blocked bots from reading a lot of forums/threads now. But obviously, some of those, still stupid. Keyphrases used on search engines Just a random amount...

But again, not as bad as before. No tits, ass, fuck, cum, cars, clinton, bush, etc. etc. Stuff that would return from the Spam Lounge and World Discussion forums that had NOTHING to do with SS. So far this month, hits are way down yes, but the keywords are more SS like. So maybe it has its downsides blocking the forums from bots, but obviously beyond a few odd ones in there, there are people searching for this game or things in it. But just not enough to make me say search engines are the way. IGN, Gamepro, MMOG sites, Gamespy, etc. Those are where we should put our focus.

I think the autopermission ID list had something to do with a list of macids or userids stored in a .txt file server side. idallow.txt would be my 1st guess.

Advertising on general sites is the wrong route, and this has now been confirmed. We need to work on advertising on gaming sites. We are aiming at gamers, not just random people who maybe typed in some of the keywords. Try typing in some of them sometime and look at the top results, and imagine what those people are looking for looking at these top results. Free Online Game for instance, most people end up at sites for kids, flash game sites, etc. If you look at those games, they are single player, and don't require a download. The only reason that (well atleast when I had root on TT's server this was true) SSForum was beating out SSDL on hits for some time while I was monitoring the 2, was how much our threads return in results we'd never care to be showing up for. IE: Cars, Tight Ass, etc. Trust me, I have shared some of the odd ones with the admins before over some good laughs. May even look up some of the recent ones and share here later. But yeah. Obviously noone is searching for a game like ours. So we need to go to people who do play games like us, and let them know about us. Just my 2 cents.

Still got em both.

Fixed. had nothing to do with 32bit or 64bit. Was just the relation between the installer and Continuum.exe itself. All fixed on both installers.

Uh, I run x64, lol. I'll talk to him.

The newer graphics remove a lot of the artifacts created by compression.

I have created 2 long needed installers for Continuum. They are updated installers with currently working directory servers, higher quality sounds and graphics, and an updated zone list. There are 2 installers available for download in our Downloads section. The basic installer is just Continuum 0.40, while there is also now the Continuum 0.40 with Server installer. This comes with a pre-configured server setup for new users. It is an updated version of L.C.'s Server Kit, and can be quickly and easily launched from the server folder where Continuum is installed. And for those players wishing to have the High Quality version of sounds and graphics, there is a zip file available for download. Please let me know asap of any issues. Though I have tested these installers many times, issues can come up. Thanks and Enjoy.

Ah, thought Sama had. Will do.

It's not really invisions (thank god). The new features it is coming out with will be very nice. They are essentially trying to merge Trac/Sourceforge style managing plus more features into IPB. So should serve DCME nicely once it is complete.

I thought SSCE was SSC Exodus also and SSCC was SSC Chicago? SSCT was SSC Texas SSCB was SSC It was a letter SFSS was StrikeForce SubSpace or StrikeForce SubSpace Servers

yeah, this is something me and lc discussed. I was trying to figure out why our analytics stats were half of our AWStats stats. And AWStats was closer to ssforum internal stats. I mean, through some thought I did figure out a few of the reasons though. 1. IPB uses a lot of Ajax, so clicking around editing, changing views, doing topic operations, etc. will load a page but not really load it. Also redirector pages, etc. All of these pages don't use the IPB skin templates, so they don't load the javascript. 2. Google Analytics shows 48%ish of our visitors are FF and 24%ish are IE. Whereas the opposite is true per SSF and Webalizer stats (well FF is 31%ish). So odds are high that it is guests with javascript disabled using IE. Not that they matter anyways, but eh. 3. People downloading Continuum from SSO and a few sites I added SSF's download to, get a direct download, and again it doesn't load the javascript, just the file. Was 1 or 2 other thoughts I had about it, but can't remember them right now. But the large difference between the 3 stats softwares had me confused. Especially since SSF and AWStats stats were close, and analytics being so much off.

Well fine then.

pm me and I'll getcha your login info.

Wow, you are fucking retarded... haha "PriitK made Trench Wars"... The Ghost Ship ran trench for quite some time. Dgus (sp?) and Silent Dragon created original Trench. And if I remember right TGS made trench wars dark which eventually merged into the zone, though not 100% on that. But I do remember the 2 zones, and remember The Ghost Ship running trench wars. And yes, him and Alex got confused all the time. Read Ghost Ship's 20 questions for the GS and TGS confusion quote.

I'm assuming by all this, you don't have uninsured/underinsured. Though even having those and him having insurance is a pain. My parents have been through it quite a few times being rear ended. And recently my bros were hit by a drunk driver, who at 1st they couldn't find any insurance with. But even 2.5 months later, and all the bs, my mom and our insurance broker are saying things are progressing very quickly. But this also helped since the uninsured kicked in, and our insurance went after them. But once they gave up their insurance, now they are dealing with them. But yeah. He had full coverage, so his car was paid off, and he went and bought a new one. Actually ended up buying his totalled one back (and decided he needed a 27,000 car this time). But they have been told average time for any sort of pain and suffering money (which my little bro is still in pain) even now dealing with an insurance company, probably won't be seen until mayish at the earliest. Being if he doesn't have insurance, and you don't have coverage for uninsured, full coverage, etc. Buddy of mine went through that fun process for 1.5yrs. You too are probably outta luck for anything quick. I'd say a good 10-12months, at best. And that is if you sold your claim from your lawsuit to a company that went after him. Otherwise its a slow process of them garnishing what they can (if they can) his wages, and so forth and you getting small payments from him. Downside to selling it off, they'll take a pretty large cut. I think of his 42,000 they took 8000ish. But yeah. Don't expect anything quick.

He can learn to quit SS under his own will. Zones can ban him all they want.

Amongst the 30 other names he has created, including Op>PoLiX and ER>PoLiX. I think someone is a little obsessed, mhmm. Though still entertaining the fact he isn't going to get a net-ban, lol. Guy can't even figure out how to get one, let alone thinks he is annoying me. Feel bad for all his efforts.

Think I am either going to setup a cron job to check occasionally that the directory server is running, or give some of the other admins access to restart it. Maybe both...

I've always hated dominos, so the new one might be worth a try.

Turning it on. Guess our DC had a power outage. Dunno. I didn't notice anything, but I don't get home til ~1700 PST. Back online and getting updates from zones.

ssdir down again?

or the fact IPB has built in forum redirects. We use to do this, but had hundreds of forums, so no. That is what the nav bar was created for.
