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) --------------------  |

i was going to pm you before i saw this, can we have a videos section?
basically i want to upload my 118mb bf2 vid i have, but youtube wont let me as its over 10mins long.... i was just wondering if you could host it for me  understand if bandwidth is as issue though. im happy with how the site is, but i just wish more people would come on the forums and post abuse about me or take the piss out of fidos ts fetish or something --------------------  |

hmmm, interesting idea. From a technical standpoint making something like youtube isn't difficult, however would probably need different hosting (as most webhosts forbid the use of video sharing now(this one too probably)) and also to prevent large videos interfering with the operation of the website.
I'll have a mooch around and see what it would onvolve both from a technical point and from cost perspective. As for more people I wouldn't mind the size of the clan with 20 people providing those 20 came on the site or participated in some way- although I admit some people tend to contribute a lot without being website fiends (such as dumdum). The only thing I can suggest is to grow the clan to a larger size. Not everyone bums around all day on the website when the should be working

I think you've mixed up 'being a bum' with 'getting bummed' or is that more of a hobby

I think we could have our own radio station with songs on so when we hear cobolt singing the chances are that its to one of those songs.
And the first song should be Always look on the bright side of life http://radio.setnine.com/ This way we can spend even less time concentrating on playing L4D -------------------- "Do not touch anything unnecessarily.

forgot about this topic.. the RSS button dumps out RSS without any form of login, so it either it retrieves public topics or allows the public too see members sections.. not sure if there's a way around this, such as putting the RSS links in a password protected area or something.
As for world clocks, am sure I can sort this out.. although the forms allow local time for each user anyway e.g. someone in USA can set their forum clocks back 6 hours etc., Will look into clock for US/Europe then -------------------- |

maybe think about getting rid of the public servers banners on the main page
seems they are pointing to servers run by other clans
