While the website and anti-hack tools have matured nicely, I was wondering if there are any areas for improvements.
So any things that exist already that need improvement or new things that you think could be added? (website can be slow sometimes, usually because we are under attack most of the time these days (can't really be sorted without a lot of money) We have: Main site, News, Downloads etc., Player Database (sneakymonkeys.com/lookup) - recording the cd hashes of all players on the server Namehack Tool (sneakymonkeys.info) - comparing ingame name against gamespy PID to locate namehackers Forums - reasonably well developed forum system Battlerecorder - streaming to sneakymonkeys/demos (for main server) and monkeyfiend.com/demos (for vehicles server) Stats Site - sneakymonkeys.com/stats *Live updated bf2 stats* Clan stats - similar to above (click leaderboard links) - allows signature generation Player locator - locate which servers players with =SM= tags are on Teamspeak - we have a 40 man teamspeak server. Public but secured against hacks MP3 player - need some work, but I'm lazy (also some potential copyright vioatlions with proper mp3's) (and since I view this site in work, nothing involving naked people I'm afraid) -------------------- |

Well if anyone now has any issues posting replies etc., let me know.
Regarding this Forum Version IPB version 2 (this site) goes out of support in July 2010. The version 3 is more expensive, complex and frankly shit compared to this one in pretty much every way, In v3, none of the old skins or mods e.g. the shoutbox work without heavy recoding and frankly most of the custom skins i've seen are just css colour changey ones. Already seen quite a few flaws in the security (mostly code injections) so can't think of a good reason to update for security concerns. The site has been tweaked so much over previous years that half their current updates and patches don't work here anyway (such as their patch for the rich text editing above) where the js had already been sanitised to remove some potentially bad html being chucked out (and I note their patches js released recently didn't even address this) The usual forums alternatives apply: phpbb and vbulletin. At the moment I can't see any reason to change forum when IPB reaches end of life -------------------- |
