Forum back, but watch out for problems

Written by Ben on 01-04-2010

The forum was acting funny a few days ago. I attempted to repair the database yesterday and MySQL (the database software) stopped working. The problem was that we also were running out of space, which prevented the repair from working correctly and also tied up the system with multiple connections due to my attempts to repair the database. I deleted some old backups and repaired the database. There was some database corruption but it likely was limited to the indexes. There should not be any data loss for that reason, but watch for anything that seems odd. I have backups from a few days ago that could be used to fill in broken spots.

PM spammer banned

Written by Ben on 01-01-2010

We just had a PM spammer who managed to get out 241 PMs before I noticed. He's been banned and I deleted every PM he sent. Apologies to those who spammed. In the future, please let me know if you receive a spam PM. These can be hard to detect as PM spammers intentionally avoid messaging administrators.

iSoaker.net Scaling Back

Written by isoaker_com on 08-31-2009

Starting tomorrow (Sept. 1, 2009), I'll be scaling back iSoaker.net. To summarize, general water warfare and water blaster discussions will be pushed elsewhere, namely here at Super Soaker Central and Waterwarfare.com (if/when WWc gets into proper shape). The reasons for this choice are many, but the hopes are for helping better unite the online water warfare community and eventually lead to overall increased online and offline activity. iSoaker.net is not disappearing, but it will not be in the right form to serve as a true community hub, either. The current forums will be archived and remain accessible while a scaled back version will remain online for iSoaker.com-specific development discussions. For all those who helped make the iSoaker.com Forums/iSoaker.net a great place to be over the years, I sincerely thank you! That said, I have great hopes for the future, too! Soak on! :cool:

Recent updates

Written by Silence on 08-08-2009

We've pushed out a slew of changes to the website over the past couple weeks. Most of those changes only affect the backend, but here are a few things you might notice... Here's the biggie: an updated front page with a clearer layout and better formatting. We now list recently updated articles in addition to new ones, along with some more information about each one. News snippets look like real block quotes, and you can now subscribe to news updates and their comments using an RSS reader...we're still making a few tweaks, but for the most part it's done. Names of staff and contributors now link to forum profiles, not to email addresses, because they're more public and cut down on spam. Similarly, most articles now have links to specific subforums; for example, our currently-featured homemade water gun now links to http://forums.sscentral.org/f27/.
