5 minute warning

[FUGGER]

I will be bringing the site down in order to put the front page up.

It should take less than an hour if all goes well.

[Anarki]

Just wondering have you done it/ still doing it?

Thanks, Anarki.

[Techmasta]

Its been more than 5 minutes.

[FUGGER]

Ready... Here goes

[Techmasta]

Nothing has changed....

[Anarki]

I was thinking that :eek:

[skate2snow]

yea, we have no front page...

[FUGGER]

It has, just not visible.

comming along nicely

[FUGGER]

I wanted to get the site back up while I did other stuff.

no sense keeping the site down during this time.

[Anarki]

Fugger btw nice 3d mark 2k1 score :slobber: :slobber: only just noticed :rolleyes:

[PGgagne]

[saaya]

its up but we cant see it?

[FUGGER]

Not yet

I will be taking the server down in the early hours Friday to try it again and test functionality.

The forums will be moved back to /forums

I did this to prevent access to the server root HTML directory and sub-directories. Renaming directories and start up files w/ modification of paths to work correctly.

Example:
so what might have been /admin is now /digdug

[saaya]

whats a digdug? j/k :D

[Hallowed]

You never played digdug?

Kids these days...

[Soulburner]

Is that the one where you were a guy, with some sort of gun thing, that used it to dig through the ground to collect powerups and kill monsters...played on arcade machines?

That game was awesome.

DUDE!!! Digdug totally PWN3D!!!!

Your running around all underground sticking a bicycle air pump up monsters butts and blowing them up...A better premise for a game has yet been found, truly a classic.

[faruquehabib]

YES! i remember playing that on nesticle!!! hahaha

[Soulburner]

Yeah that's the one...forgot about the pump part, been a long time since I played that at Chucky Cheeses (pizza party/arcade place).

[Jeff]

My almost 4 year old son can get to the fourth board on DigDug(via Mame32). ;) He's already a pretty good classic gamer.
http://www.adventurevision.com/somepictures/DK3-Cam.jpg
His high score on Donkey Kong 3 is 80,200.
His high score on Galaga is 58,000.
He can get to level 6 on Wizard of Wor.
And he can get to the third board on Pac-Man.

It helps that his daddy is a bit of a classic nut himself though...

Robotron and Stargate fan myself.

[Slickthellama]

so FUGGER ur taking charge of these here forums? sounds fine to me. I dunno what all the ruckus is about. If the forums work well than I don't see any problems.

[Johnny Knoxvill]

front page coming back up...happy days :rocker:

[FUGGER]

Yep, and when front page goes up I will open registration.

I've been on the lookout for a Robotron for years. It's an expensive game if you are getting it from someone involved in the hobby. $1000-$1200 for one in decent shape.

I've been tempted many times to do a MAME cabinet just for the couple games that I want to own but don't want to spend the money on.

At one point I had 30 video games and 2 pinballs. :) Now I'm down to around 10 & 2 which is much more managable.

Sorry for the offtopic post btw... but the classics are just my thing.

[terramir]

ahhh the link e-mails with new posts dun work either LOL got to get there manually fugger what up with the site?
terramir

[Kanavit]

thx for the warning Fugger!

[FUGGER]

Terramir, front page being redone. I moved forums to answer as the front page in the interum. I could have done a landing page but I did not want access to the directory below this one.

bigger the sig the higher the overclock

[Hallowed]

I always found that big sigs either mean:

1. Attention whore.
2. Poor sig skills.
3. Apathy. (usually accompanied by #2)

Since I cant make them for crap I always get one made, and its always cool sporting someones artwork. :)

Just IMO but I don't like seeing one or two lines of text but theres still a giant block of crap to scroll through just to find what I'm looking for.

hm. i actually dont like sig's with big pictures, because im mostly on dial up.

[terramir]

Hmmm I need to redo that one anyway, the problem I was having is that #1 I did that thing in paint and microsoft photo editor #2 I dun own photochop :(
But with my scanner I got photochop elements lets see if it can help:p
will try to redo that is so outdated it's not even funnyin three days a new one I make will be outdated too LOL, the K7s5a is getting a and old t-bird 1.4 unless I can find a way to woremod a barton(2500) into 133 x 14 because my main is getting a mobile xp2600 finally I'll break the xp 3300 barrier LOL

[zakelwe]

At some point I am going to get around to having a sig and an avatar.

Regards

[Soulburner]

I try to keep the file size on mine down. Also your browser will cache it so it doesn't have to download 10 times on the same page, only once and it will display it as many times as needed.

By the way terramir max height is 100 pixels.

[terramir]

ahhh I was told 150 then we aggreed my 216 which was 2 less than sysfailure back then I shrunk it now to 150 hope this is better
BTW hollowed hmmm yeah #2 I can't do photochop elements even :p: had to use photodeluxe and paint to fix it
terramir
guru pm me and I will forward you the pm I got from the moddaratorz
terramir

[lalPOOO]

Prepare to be crushed by a sig thats size is matched only by its relative comparsion to penis size. Hurrah! :D

(and no, I don't plan on using it, I don't really like it very much. If someone else wants it I can razzle dazzle it up for them though, that includes shrinking it down to an acceptable size too)

[terramir]

and I just checked sysfailure is again above me in height LOL 162x 500 now LOL, well I'm 150x700 :p: BTW does anybody know where I can get that led the neon green kinda font the font I used was a poor imitation

Don't base your sig descions off of someone elses sig. Make yours smaller and then tell them theirs is too big, and that they're a terrible person.
Also, could you crop your avatar, it could stand to lose some weight aswell. (width)

[terramir]

hmmmmmmmmm need the width right now unless I learn how to gif this thing, then I could switch btw images and text would get a whole lot smaller, it's only like 50 k now would like to optimise it more but I am serious I suck at this my old sig was worse 216x700 down to 150 x 700 in one night well time heals all wounds and helps ppl learn about sig building, avatar hmmm yeah it's the same as my site without the hardware, will do when I figure out how to resize without blocky(ness)
well I'm going to bed 350 am yawn
and that one just doesn't look right the digital fon't I mean I will play with it tommorow maybe, if I don't have to fix all my friends computers again grrrrrrr

And yes, that sig has its own zipcode. :eek: thx Hallowed, i finally got a decent rig. I took your advice and got a better mobo, sadly i formatted my entire hd and reinstalled everything took 8 hrs to bring it back to top form. download SP1, and all the window updates.

i haven't checked out the new front page yet , but i will now.

Bet that rig flies in games, comparatively. :)

not that fast since it took you 8 hours:D 8 hours is enough to turn fresh plie of hardware into a #1 scoring rig:D

There is no frontpage. Just forums.

I think its because kan is on really slow cable or dialup.

Most of the waiting is downloading crap. :stick:

Fortunately, I have 410KB/s cable and about 500 reformats under my belt. ;)

[Inigmatics]

Is the front page going up at xtremesystems.com?

If so whats going to be under products? Services? Is some one going to be conducting buisness now? Or is it still going to be mainly reviews?

Just wondering.

P.S. If that is the new place, the new header looks kinda cool. Will the style of the new front page be matching the forums style and vise versa?

All because of i865PE chipset and dual channel. And my ram can run @ lower timings too! before on the P4S533 it can't. I'm using ASDL @ 768/128 connection. The formatting 80gb hd was the longest process. I had a few bumps along the way installing. Like my DVD wouldn't work, because of CAT 4.3 and SP1 problem. but all seems ok now, I scored 3,741 in PCmark04, highest ever for me. I was getting 3535 before.

hmm, no more front page on XS??

[QuadDamage]

wait a sec, so you're saying there's an issue with these 4.3's and DVD playback?! i was watching Matrix yesterday and it locked up hard like three times or so. I thought it's the fsb or something maybe agp but it runs UT2004 without a glitch. ok this explains everything.

Lol.. I was having the same issue for a while before I :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:ed with it... TV out and DVD's weren't mixing well.

<- cant wait for NV40. :)

[skate2snow]

hey FUGGER,

When the front page will be up?
