Hi All, We have been having some discussions regarding the rules of the chatroom and have decided that we will no longer be allowing the access of users under the age of 16 to this area. We have come to this decision as this is primarily used late at night by the adult members of the forum and we would like to generally take a more liberal attitude toward the rules we have in place within this area. Therefore as of now there will be no limitation on language that can be used within this area of the forum. This does not remove any other ruling regarding the chatroom and anyone using foul language to flame another member will be treated harshly and should e…

Hi Guys, As you now know the forum was offline a little earlier for some forum updates. The software had a few essential security fixes that needed addressing and therefore I needed to get them patched up as soon as. The areas that have been updated are: Forum Gallery Blogs Calender Additional pages such as collages etc Chatroom You will notice that the colouring on the usernames are not there in some places. These will begin to reappear over the next few hours as I need to code this into the forum manually when updates are done. There will also be a few more updates (dont worry we wont be offline) …

OK Gonna make this very short and very clear ..... For anyone who thinks that the rules do not apply to them when they are within our chatroom whilst swearing think again ... If I ever have any members come to me and say they would prefer not to use the chatroom due to language used in there that I specifically posted about only yesterday in an announcement, the person responsible will have their access to the chatroom removed permenantly.. And no football ISNT an excuse Rules clear now? Good, I'm glad we cleared that one up.

Hi All, It has been brought up a few times now that the rules regarding swearing are a little ambiguous and therefore leaving people unsure as to what they can say and what they cannot. Therefore for this reason we are changing the rules so that everyone knows what is acceptable and what isn't. So first of all what is classed as acceptable and what isn't? Words such as C*NT and TW*T have no place on our forum. They are vulger and there are plenty of words that can be used in their place, even when posting items in the steam room. If anyone is seen to be using these, please expect a warning to go alongside them. There is no need for it. …

Hi Guys, As promised with the update to the forums software, we now have full integration with Twitter as we do with Facebook. What does this mean? With twitter/facebook integration you can update items on the forum directly from twitter/facebook and vice versa. So for example I post my status on here and it also tweets that status when I tick the twitter checkbox just below the status entry. In fact if I wanted I could update my status here and update both facebook and twitter with the same status should I wish to do so. Various other things can also be synced such as your profile picture, avatar, about me page and more. How d…

Hi All, As you will have seen in the announcement the forum will shut down for around 30 Mins, in roughly 10 minutes time. As I am trying to minimise the downtime to the site, you may notice a couple of small items that are missing, for example the colouring on the usernames on the main forum. Dont worry, these will be coming back and you will notice things reappearing throughout the night. Although I have said that I will be updating stuff throughout the night, please feel free to post anything you find that is out of place within the "Forum Help" section, as it may have been something I have missed. If I havent then there is nothing lost by postin…

New Rule!!

Hi All, As I'm sure you've noticed the site is now getting bigger in size with more members joining every day. At over 11,000 posts every month you can appreciate this can be relativly difficult to moderate at times and problems can (and generally do) arise on the forum. The rule we are imposing on the site this time is not one that we have made the decision on lightly, however its something we feel that we have to do for the good of the site, and do so now before it becomes more of an issue. As you know we have many good and legitimate welfare organisations post on our site, and personally I would like to thank them for the work that they do. Unfort…

Hi Peeps, Sorry that this announcement has to be a moaning one, but I think this really needs to be said in public. Various times over the past few weeks we have had to pull people up regarding their statuses. These can be seen from the front of the forum and it reflects badly on the forum when some of the more extreme swear words are used in them. We are very tollerant in this respect and most forums will outright say "No swearing whatsoever". All we ask for is a little common sense. Please be aware of the following: IF YOU HAVE YOUR FACEBOOK LINKED and you have the setting to syncronise statuses switched on, then your status on …

Thought since I had not been posting on here for a while I would give you a bit of an update on where I have been The updated version of our current forum software has now been released into beta (test) stages to its customers (us) and so I now have this up and running in a test environment. I am currently working on the skin for the new software (dont worry no massive change like before, everything will work in the same way). I have been reworking the skin from scratch in order to further speed up the load time of all pages on the site. This is including removing some of the larger gradient images from the backgrounds, replacing them with block color and com…
