      So far this one seems fairly OK. Unfortunately I don't believe we have any means of recovering the clancrazy.co.uk domain at the moment, but we should be able to get some domain, and eventually that one will come up for registration again.

      To demonstrate there are some upsides, file uploading is straightforward on here. Most of my gaming time at the moment poured into this horrible-looking but deep thing:

      Things still to organize:

      • A domain name.
      • Need a captcha on registrations.
      • Email (needs a server set up).
      • The proper logo should go on the top there.
      • https for everything
      • Likely a million other things.

          Perhaps suppressed on admin accounts?

          e: Yes, that's it. Sad times 😧 :kappa:

            Domain registered: http://clancrazy.pro/ (as we are, of course, very pro).

            To give some context on the setup, this runs on a virtual private server, hosted by Linode, in Frankfurt (chosen over e.g. London since Germany has the strongest data privacy laws in, largely, the world). No personal information is needed in signup, feel free to lie about your email address. I will look into making the whole thing encrypted, but, of course, everything but the private category (the name for a "subforum" on this thing) is publicly viewable, so don't go too wild. An admin needs to add you to the Crazy group if you are a member, just remind someone.

            Since we have the server to ourselves I can toss a mumble server or whatever else we want on there as well. I will for personal use set up a Dominions 4 server on same as well.

                Hola whatever you did last night worked a treat!

                You will now be blighted with my presence on these here boards!

                  There we go, now we also have https (end-to-end encryption) setup. I would advice everyone to still take some care, as you never know what'll get hacked next (i.e. a bug in the web server we use or so), but perfectly secure at open wifi access points and similarly less trustworthy connections now!

                    Web software remains irredeemable trash, emojis broke in 1.7.0 (and no one told me!), and it seems they have deprecated the emoji setup we were on, so I had to switch to another, which does not have all the same ones (notably the twitch ones are gone). This includes old posts now losing those that have gone missing. Oh well, enough messing about with that for the day~

                      Still something wonky with even the set now installed (the smiley for 😛 appears broken?), but I put that down to the competence of the modern-day javascript programmer and guess that it'll work itself out in time.

                        An update broke the stats line at the bottom. I handcrafted the minimalistic version at one point, took a bit of doing since it "naturally" wants to be multiline, but didn't think to backup my work before the update overwrote it, so it'll take until I am bored at some point before it is fixed~

                          OK, got the visitors line fixed, but the teamspeak presence indication is messed up in some deeper way (i.e. the base code is written by some hobbyist having done a pretty poor job, and has broken in some way unrelated to my changes).
