This, plus movies and music forums, and other user contents like contests, a photo gallery where people can upload screenshots of the Driver games and other things, the Driver-Wiki, some things like this Mortal Kombat fansite (Easter eggs, a photo gallery, a timeline of the series, also, in each post a member does, they get some "money", and with this "money" they can unlock certain features).

Yeah, I know it's not something easy, but it's worth a shot.

I say lets roll with it!

I mean, I can help. - I want to help. (And don't ask me to advertise)

I'd like to see this place raise from the dead.

It's worth a shot.

In our spare time we can make this crap work possibly.

What you think Nick?

I guess we need word from BB first, but I'm sure he'll like the idea.

[Nikusakken]

Yeah! I already have some (really) basic HTML skills, so it's a good start.

[T.K.]

There are some PHP scripts lying around for download at sites.

[bb_42001]

ok, but just tell me what you guys need uploadedok. i can make you guys a second forum with only 1 user for you guys to use. I can also give you guys limited FTP access to the forum root, and once you get the forum to your liking i can upload a backup of DM and make it live? did you want me to do that?

also if i do username and password will just be driverma, same for the FTP

lern2punctuate

[bb_42001]

Oh shut up. I wasn't thinking about punctuation when I was trying that.

[bb_42001]

But what do you thing of my Idea?

[T.K.]

The reason I said that was because I truly couldn't understand it at all.

Also, you should make a topic archive to hold good topics and such, so we can delete old ones that take up space

Smirnogf Ice is good but expensive and kinda rare to find; I like WKD, that is da sh*t, esspecially in IrN BrU flavour!

It's everywhere here... But it's $40 a bottle, and, me being the poor uni student, its too expensive for little old me!

ok, but just tell me what you guys need uploaded like i can make you guys a second forum with only 1 user, to use and give you guys limited FTP access to only that section with 1 user, and once you get the forum thing to your liking i can upload a backup of DM? did you want me to do that?

Sounds good.

Yeah! I already have some (really) basic HTML skills, so it's a good start.

Me too, man. My HTML skills let me change my myspace profile, and little else...

i made my scout group a website from scratch a year or so ago (http://49thnewcastlescouts.org.uk/) but i would like to do a nice round site with more than just forums, and one I could show to my mates. This will seem very radical, but how about merging together a few sites; Emmett has his footie site and TK his erm, his one place thingy, anyone think its a good idea?

[Sedans]

What I'm saying is adding additional forums to this website. Like, This is the Driver forums, then add all the goodies.

I think after a decent amount of people find this place with all that, it'll be booming with members.

That One Place, and if I understand correctly, you want to merge some sites. No, i will not be merging with any other site. Affiliation is good enough

[Driver of DOOM]

OK, i just got carried away that's all; but who thinks DM should have a non-forum front page with links to forums, latest posts (in sections about different things), maybe a Joke of the week and whatever BB thinks might work, anyone?

[T.K.]

DM used to, early on. I think it's a nice idea

[Nikusakken]

DM used to have a chatroom, a music player, a portal with latest posts thing and a shoutbox, scores for posts, more BB code, photo gallery, download database, etc.

Maybe we should bring those features back. What do you think?

[Driver of DOOM]

Would be babe, seriously!

[Wheelman75]

DM used to, early on. I think it's a nice idea

I remember that, but all I saw back then was the "Down For Maintenance" page or something like that.

[bb_42001]

Yes, it was a portal system, i have tried many forum portals since then but for some reason they always failed.

[Nikusakken]

Bad luck much. You could try it on DM, if you can.

[bb_42001]

OK, i have set up a forum for you guys at http://www.drivermadness.net/forumuser the user name and password you access the admin panel are driverma.

I have also set up a ftp account with access only to the forum directory the log in information is:

Code: Select all

FTP Username:  drivermadness@drivermadness.freecp.net
FTP Password: drivermadness
FTP Server: ftp.drivermadness.freecp.net
FTP Server Port: 21
SFTP Server Port: 22

if you have any problems just ask.

[T.K.]

I can't get my FTP to work, so piss

[bb_42001]

is the information wrong?

[T.K.]

No, my FTP problems are just odd. Had it with 2 other hosts

[bb_42001]

try, http://www.net2ftp.com

[T.K.]

oh jeez thanks

[Nikusakken]

I don't know this stuff very well. So, were I should type this FTP thing?

[bb_42001]

if you are using net2ftp, where it asks for server type what i put for FTP Server, and same for username and password, everything else is fine as it is

[Nikusakken]

Okay, thanks.
