Re: Evaluating new forums

Yeah, Dreamhost's VPSes are overpriced garbage Yeah. I didn't really want to be a negative Nancy, but yeah. Do you think Drupal is really too resource-intense for a shared hosting setup though? Technically, no. However, I'm thinking more about the performance of the site. Depending on the number of...

Re: Evaluating new forums

Hey Crates, I would love to see that test instance of Drupal, and thanks very much. One thing I've mentioned recently is that even though there is the occasional hiccup, PHPBB has been really quite maintenance-light for us. Every so often we have to fix something but I bet there have been years whe...

Re: Evaluating myBB

From what I understand, Drupal is more of a general-purpose CMS framework, right? I'm not inherently opposed to that but that seems like it's not going to inherently solve any problems, and just creates more problems. Sort of. If you just grab it and stand it up out of the box, then yes. However, w...

Re: Evaluating myBB

Oh and if anyone has another forum that's worth looking at, let me know. I've looked at a bunch of them but haven't been impressed with anything really (myBB is the least-unimpressive pretty much). Well, sir, I run the front-end dev department at the world's largest IT consultancy, and I was a core...

Re: Not the reptile brain (The Rat Brain prefight)

Howdy, friends.

I haven't been here in a REALLY long time. Can someone explain for me how the Optional Challenge works? Do I just include those words in the song, or...?

Thanks!

Re: Winner for "I Take That Back"?

The cool thing to do is to ask your friends to listen, not just vote. As has been said, if they don't listen, at least you tried. You are absolutely right. It was bad form, and I knew I submitted a song of less quality than is worth a win. The only reason I even inquired was that I was competing wi...

Re: Winner for "I Take That Back"?

If MMMC got the most votes, then MMMC won. If you got the most votes then there must be a typo or something in the winning count, and I'm sure Spud'll fix it or explain why. Of course, we could just leave it in place to be an epic moment in history for historians to discuss. Maybe we could like, pu...

Re: Winner for "I Take That Back"?

What does winning Song Fight get you, anyway? Nothing special. Just bragging rights, same as anyone else. Is there some rule I was unaware of about asking friends to vote on a fight? Edit: Just to be clear, I'm not trying to fight the mods on this one. If there was a rule that was violated or a rea...

Fair point. However, I was of the impression that SongFight's winners were determined by votes, and not by the moderators.

Winner for "I Take That Back"?

It looks like there was a mistake in the listing for the winner. "Ken's Super Duper Band" is listed as the winner, but MMMC has the most votes by far.

Re: How do I un-submit a song? ("I Take that Back" reviews)

So... I see from looking at the logs of previous ten fights that the average fight lasts about 10 days. That's pretty much the same as I remember it taking when I was previously active on this site, about eight years ago. However, on the current fight, we've been going for 9 days already, with no en...

Re: Which back do you take? (pre-fight)

Well, I suppose I'm in good company, then. It's MMMC's first submission in eight years, and it was entirely recorded and produced in about 24 hours, give or take. So, it goes without saying that it's sloppy and terrible. But hey... that's what SongFight is for! Freedom of expression, baby! I'm free ...

Hi, guys! Long time listener... 37th time caller. I've owned a guitar for nearly a decade now.
