Well, let's see, the average Swede is about 9 feet taller then the average human being. Their opponents can just run directly underneath their legs.

Re: My punBB was hacked!!! (34 replies, posted in General discussion)
Couldn't have said it better myself, Endre. I've had websites (and forums) that were hacked. It taught me to back everything up often, but there was still things that I'll never retrieve.

I'll drink to this. I have a cold "Wisconsin Amber" in the crisper door of my fridge. Thanks Rickard for a job well done. Do you have any more future releases in the 1.2.x line or are you going to begin work on 1.3 now?

Re: To Board punbb & phpbb (10 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 troubleshooting)
Sorry Connor if I seemed like a prick myself. I wrote that out and was going to change a bit of it to make it seem less harsh, but was pressed for time. (Fourth of July celebrations) You did give the best response possible - going to PhpBB for questions, since that is the forum being switched to. I'm a fan of PunBB in the truest sense and am somewhat anti-phpBB. (If you look in the pun vs phpbb thread I make a post) So again, I wanted to apologize to you.

Re: To Board punbb & phpbb (10 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 troubleshooting)
Damn, that's like AOL was years ago.
"Why are you cancelling our service?"
"Well, I found a better deal elsewhere and I just want to try something new."
Then they give you a hardass time and hardly help you because you're switching. So if anyone holds a grudge and wouldn't help someone convert to a different forum because the person wasn't satisfied with PunBB, then I guess they'd be little pricks, too.

Re: PunBB vs PHPBB (49 replies, posted in General discussion)
PHPBB
+ Gigantic community, so many mods and styles available.
- By the time a new security fix is released, your forum has already been hacked.
PunBB
+ Security bugs are dealt with in an extremely fast manner.
- Smaller community, so not nearly as many styles and a fewer number of mods.
........ + But if you request a mod, the PunBB community will be glad to write one for you

Great forum layout, but I have to say the banner pictures are my favorite.

Re: What host should i use (54 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 discussion)
With TextDrive you don't seem to get much bang for the buck. . .unless I'm missing something.
I'd do some more research on the web, asking different people from different message boards. I'm not trying to pull you away from supporting Rickard, but that hosting is a bit expensive. I'd recommend something else, and if you'd like, donate to Rickard directly through paypal. That way, Rickard gets your support and you save money.
One host I've dealt with in the past is HASWEB. You can find their hosting plans here:
http://www.hasweb.com/experience/hasweb … plans.html
For one lump sum of $35, you get a full year's service with EXCELLENT support and above-average features.
Note: I'm not affiliated with HASWEB and don't receive money by sending people to their site. I'm just a satisfied customer who liked what I got.

Re: Poll: What browser do you use? (101 replies, posted in General discussion)
FireFox 1.0
I'll use Internet Explorer if there is a feature on a website that requires it, such as downloading updates from microsoft.com or listen to music on Yahoo Launch.

Re: Silly question, but...100.000.000 (6 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 discussion)
Actually, that website "Gaia Online," now runs on over 50 servers.
From my understanding, though, the phpbb software that Gaia runs on has been heavily changed and optimized. I've heard cases on many tech forums that say that a phpbb forum (original code - unoptimized) will slow down to a standstill if there is too much traffic. Something that IPB or vBulletin don't suffer from nearly as much. I think that's why vB is the board of choice for big businesses.
I'm very interested in seeing how punbb would compare to vB in terms of handling the pressure. From what I've gathered (I just found out about pun 3 days ago) from downloading and using this Punbb software, it is extremely efficient.
