THE PACK Message Boards

As you may have noticed, the location has finally changed. Feel free to complain about anything with the new theme.

I have a new server that we'll be able to jump to (the virtual private server that hosts paradice.net), but still don't have our official domain; therefore, after months of no success of a response we registered thepack.network which shall be the next location. The only hold back right now is creati...

Alternately I just realized yesterday that I could just register thepacksden.net since that's apparently not taken and within the desired criteria. I wouldn't mind registering longlivethepack.com, just means it would be another $10 (per year).

So now that I've officially graduated from the tax-funded public education system, I now have time available once again. Overall, we still need to agree upon a reasonable domain. I'll redefine the criteria: A TLD of .com or .net Something that's concise (1-3 words, 4 words is debatable) Relevant Not...

Just gotta love it when an industry tries to start a "public awareness" campaign that's obviously in favor of themselves, rather than the consumers at all: http://tech.slashdot.org/story/10/05/11/221207/The-Telcos-Secret-Anti-Net-Neutrality-Strategy Just makes me want to stab something.. H...

Otherwise as a few examples of things that we really need to do, but can't (due to lack of credentials, which we previously had) are: Upgrade the forum. We're at version 3.0.4, the recent version is 3.0.7 which has a couple new features (RSS/Atom syndication, quick reply, etc), Upgrade the forum for...

A news article published today in the local newspaper. My German teacher even read it out loud in front of the class today. http://www.faribault.com/news.php?viewStory=97397 A Faribault teenager who left home to join a self-proclaimed vampire she met online has no intention of returning to her famil...

I don't like that front page.

Then our only way to be able to fix it is first to acquire the appropriate credentials; which means someone would have to bug Anthony.

Actually it shouldn't be. It implies something with the .htaccess file was modified. Otherwise nobody has access to the filesystem (other than Anthony, most likely), ever since the last time The Packs Den went inaccessible. So I actually can't do anything of it without the sufficient credentials.

So for over about a year from now I haven't been able to accomplish anything along with the factor of lack of interest in pretty much anything. Haven't been quite swell with school (end of last year was when I first failed any classes, and it seems to be continuing to my senior year), haven't produc...

As most of you may have noticed, you weren't able to access The Packs Den between December 6th to 14th. This is because the domain "thepack.network" was in a post-expiration phase since Anthony didn't pay for the continued registration (which is just $10/ year ). It's called the Redemption...

Just for general reference, the user has been banned for the span of 2 months.

You can access the subforums by clicking the link to any individual one under the listing of their patent forum; in otherwords, where it says "Subforums" and lists the links to them on the board index. I hate how they're listed with comma separation, whereas I'd prefer it would be one subf...

How should we have the emoticons be organized? What are the "primary" emoticons that should be shown when posting, without having to open a new window to see the rest? Should we have them categorized, or have a search engine that finds relevant emoticons to your search (nearly instantly, h...

Considering that we'll finally be expanding out from just the forum, we'll need a bit thorough planning on what a convenient layout would be. Before any development is done, it would be best to have everything planned out first. Such as content, layout, design, and development. To start off, the lay...

Sebiale wrote:Werewolf section should be on top.

That's what I was also debating upon, considering pretty much any forum has their sections that reflect the sole interest on the top, and general discussion below. Change made.

Some suggested pages of information to have are: Site News Introduction Links Chat About Freeborn Updates Events News As usual, feel free to suggest any other types of pages that could be added. This will be for the actual website aspect (which will be developed) of The Packs Den rather than the for...

So now I simply went forth and mutilated the crap out of the layout, pretty much following outwarddoodle's proposal (with some differences).

Now feel free to complain and critique finally!

We/I should go further with execution of the task, although some things still have to be thought over yet: Should it be only a code and require people to use an encoder/decoder? Or should it be a list of the attributes and the selected values in readable form? If it's shown as a list, should it be o...

Regardless of the method(s) used for gaining sufficient funds, we would need to appoint the appropriate individual for being some form of a financial secretary (or whatever term best fits). Shall it be Anthony Brownrigg, or someone else (other than myself)? The only worries about having Anthony of t...

Just to clarify as the subscription idea: It's not for charging an arm and a leg. Perhaps $5/half year, it could even be lower. (in comparison, deviantART is at $5/ month ) Assume 30 people all buy a subscription for a year long, that totals to $300. Of course, subscription would not be the ONLY opt...

heres a thought.has anyone ever joined a private club or bar? I used to have a membership at the local VFW, the membership fee was $6.00 a year.Im not suggesting that The Pack become a private site (members only) but its a thought,it would take care of the whole money part, or, there could be a pri...

I'm really beginning to retract my previous grievances. The forums have been loading as an excruciatingly slow pace for me today. And is NOT an acceptable amount of lag by any means. I can only assume it's related to the server, because my internet connection is fine. > : ( Celestialwolf also just ...

But, I personally don't think that the very few short, unexpected down times we experience here are enough to warrant transferring the forums unto an entirely new, and greatly more expensive, system. There's also a couple factors other factors: There were malware infections (specifically backdoors)...

What needs to be done is: Someone to be appointed as the "owner" of the new server; of whom would handle the money and do the payments. The person would need to open an account on some donation-based payment system Then people would donate, any surplus would be held for next year's payment...
