Yep, one of the things I really want to do is to set a limit to how many times a movie/game/album can be reviewed. Then, on the pages that those reviews exist, I'll have an area below the reviews where people will be able to post their own thoughts on the material and the original review itself. And again, hopefully people would be able to use their message board accounts to do this.

liquidstatik Yeah. I think there should be a maximum of three reviews per movie/album. And there should be more strict rules to submitting reviews. :/

FartinMowler I sometimes go to a site that uses this Powered by: vBulletin Version 2.2.6 and you are able to post pictures with out links. I know that this might take up a ton of band width but I don't see why old pictures couldn't be deleted automatically after a certain date. I would also like to ramble on and on like Helm and have people put emoticons everytime I post

ArrowX on a strictly serious note. In my opinion the site doesn't need to be ant better. Exept the lodaing times for me are somewhere between 30 seconds to a minute on my computer this being faster would be Great. also i would like to say that, the loading times are the only problem for me.

Oh God Please Keep it Up

Esuohlim You kiss-ass.

Matto Isn't this site already perfect?
Feb 6th, 2004 02:49 PM
Helm Ah, okay. More interactivity in that way seems like a good idea indeed.

Nah that wasn't the plan. I'm talking more along the lines of stuff such as, say someone on the board is going to post a music review on the music reviews site... they could use their account rather than having to type in their user info 'n stuff. Same for sending cynical greeting cards, posting in my blog, etc. All that kind of stuff will come later on though, right now we're just gonna focus on making the site switch.

I-Mockery's major site overhaul begins soon!!

Welp, I've been talking about moving to a new server for a long time, and now it's finally happening. I just signed up with a new host (ServInt, the same people who host Fark) and within a few months I-Mockery will be loading faster than you've ever seen. No longer will there be worries of getting 'farked', we'll have all the bandwidth we need and then some. It's absolutely going to rule.

I have another programmer on board (a friend of Zug's) and he's going to be helping out with getting ALL of I-Mockery converted from .asp to .php . Yes, that's right, almost every single page on I-Mockery has to be recoded... it's one hell of a project, but it will be worth it. Whoreable also has a lot of .php knowledge and he'll be helping out when and where he can too. AChimp is also around to help answer questions about php if needs be. So we've definitely got all grounds covered for this project.

I won't actually transfer the domain over to the new host until we have the new site up and completely functional. So don't expect any downtime for I-Mockery while we're working on this. The site will continue to be updated 'n all that good stuff.

One thing I'm hoping to do, since the entire site will now be coded in .php, is to have your accounts here on the message board be able to interact with other sections of the site too. But more on that later.

Anyway, I just wanted to let you guys know because this is really exciting for me. The thought of not having to deal with the site getting slowed down to a crawl any time one of our big pieces is featured on a major news site is just awesome. Now the site will be able to continue to grow like I want it to.

This is gonna be a good year for I-Mock indeed.
