phpBB is icky IMO. Greg will whine about MyBB's security vulnerabilities, but it really is the most feature packed system out there.

aRedMoon March 7th, 2010 11:31 PM

But didn't MyBB's lead developer leave or something?

{And haven't they been promising the Sparkly New Version for like... longer than vB was promising a CMS?}

Faltzer March 8th, 2010 7:21 PM

The entire concept of 'affiliation' is retarded. Partnerships work, not link exchanges. And the reason why SQL Injections still exist (especially in MyBB,) is because losers don't bother to use mysqli, so JKaizer/Koroku/aRedMoon is correct. And they never gave me the theme that they promised, so I am angry at them forever.

aRedMoon March 8th, 2010 11:11 PM

Partnerships in what way?

WonderGirl March 9th, 2010 3:20 AM

i dont see why it would be retarded. you dont pay for it, so might as well try. some people do click on other sites' buttons.

aRedMoon March 9th, 2010 8:13 AM

You look at stats, and you see very little/no referral action through affiliate buttons. It's more work than it's worth for the most part now-a-days.

WonderGirl March 9th, 2010 8:46 AM

Like I said, better try than do nothing. It's not much work, and you can tell the site's owner to write it in the update so that the members can take a look at it. It's just a bit, but it can still help.

Well if we can't legally get married, we usually refer to them as a 'partner'

I click through affiliate links. lawl. If one site doesn't have what I need I always hope one of their affys do.

You work together to achieve a goal based on joint interest. You both help each other out, not compete for who gets the most clicks on their HG/SS page. That was supposed to be the original idea behind affiliation, until some prick slapped the wrong label to generic link exchange. A perfect example of this is my Pokemon site and the VGLan Network; they both share a goal, the former being more specific, but still fitting the latter.

My referral logs show that 98% of my traffic comes from search engines and VGLan Network Top Bar. None of my hits come from my affiliates, unless you count them hot linking my button.

pokejungle March 9th, 2010 5:13 PM

Yeah the traffic you get from exchanging buttons is virtually nil .-.

Aw well. It's still fun :3 Reminds me of the good 'ol days of the fandom. When there were like 10k little fansites. Like a field of dandelions.

It was fun for a while, yeah, but then it just got whack. I remember when we used to have Pokemon sites, not all of these graphic sites. The Pokemon fandom has a thing for jumping on the bandwagon for just about every gimmick they think looks cool, and lately it has been populated by pricks that think they kick ass because they know how to use Photoshop Brushes.

pokejungle March 9th, 2010 6:19 PM

What graphic sites?

I want to make a new layout but I can't find any good images to use -3-

PokeShore, Jenviousity, etc. They really arent hard to miss, because they don't affiliate with graphic sites that are immensely out of their league and whatnot. They prefer Pokemon sites. :P


I await legit talkback from the respective webmasters of the above from either a snitch or a paranoid Google search. I dunno. Pokejungle is a silly goose.

pokejungle March 9th, 2010 9:57 PM

I don't see why they'd post here about that. Unless they really think they're top dog on gfx. @[email protected]

lol I was trying to learn how to use GIMP the other day, didn't go too well.

I don't know how people can use GIMP at all with it's windows all over the place @[email protected]

Gerri Shin March 10th, 2010 7:03 AM

Zet, that's actually about to change. the GIMP team is actually working on moving everything into a single window for its next release. See

WonderGirl March 10th, 2010 7:26 AM

That's good to know ^_^
I also don't like those windows all over the place

pokejungle March 10th, 2010 10:40 AM

I know, that's what had kept me from using GIMP before. They still have the 3 windows in this 2.6 release BUT they changed it so that there is only one docked window on your menu bar. That way you can minimize them and they act as 1 window.

aRedMoon March 10th, 2010 11:23 AM

FINALLY. I hate the multi-window GIMP deal. ;_; It makes me wanna cry.


{And Paul, just move to Iowa. It's legal there :3}

Vengeance March 14th, 2010 6:47 AM

WonderGirl March 14th, 2010 6:58 AM

What exactly do you need help with? Do you already have a styleswitcher in mind?

Vengeance March 14th, 2010 8:10 AM

i dont have any experience and i would like someone to explain and install it for me

WonderGirl March 14th, 2010 8:17 AM

Does your web hoster have a forum? If so, they should have a style switcher tutorial or something. Otherwise, I don't know.
