Well, if you want to start an XDC YouJizz channel, you’re a braver man than me…

Dont even bother trying to fix it. it will waste hours of your life and give you countless headaches as you try every little tweak out there. Just format and reinstall windows.
I do mine around once a year tbh because the difference you see in everything from booting up or gaming is massive, when you clean install.^this
Fuck, I wish I could get away with giving that kind of advice to people in my job.
Turks, as to your questions, what part does it takes ages to boot up. Is it before or after the windows splashscreen. If after, specifically what does it say on the screen.
Re. event vewier, there are always tons of errors, some are serious, some are not. What do they say? Ones to look out for are disk issues etc.

Could you find a working example via that article? I can only get a 404 error via links to the lookbook.
BBPress was something I looked into when I was originally going to overhaul the site. The biggest problems is converting the existing forum database into something that is BBpress friendly. Something which I didn’t trust. Another hangup was the lack of readily available “matching” themes between BBPress and WordPress. That was over a year ago though and progress could have been made by now.
The technical problems was around getting some of the CRON jobs to run on the server. It was mostly a problem when I set up the killboard for EVE and it just wouldn’t automatically pull corp kills/losses from either the EVE Online API or from other killboards. Don’t think the problems I had will have any real impact on either the forum of front page… unless we implement some fancy things which I kind of wanted to.
The site Jim linked had some nice stuff on it. I like the idea max mentioned about a site themed around games we play. Not sure how far we can implement this as if we style a site around a specific game, BF3 for example, it will be out of date within a year or so. I think it’s perhaps better to have a pretty standard dark front page with perhaps a “feature” area where we have a list of games we actively play. Each of these will be a link to a page about how we play these games, perhaps BF3, Planetside 2, Day Z, TF2, FIFA if the console guys play that etc. Then under that, we can have an area with several video thumbnails from our channel.
On the side bar, and this is where I think the CRON jobs may be an issue, we can have things like our current server stats (on any servers we run, perhaps for multiple games if we’re doing that).
An interesting thing on the site Jim linked was a side bar that showed their TS3 server, it’s rooms and who is currently on it. Not sure if we want/need that, just something interesting.
Other widgets we could have could be parts about upcoming events etc.
Lastly, and I’m not even sure if this type of integration is possible (as there is noway I could code it) is to open up a section of the forum called “site news” or something. Anything we post here will also be created on the front page as a news item. It’s quite often someone finds patch notes, or something relevant to the games we play and kind of create a post to show it to the rest of us. This would give us a specific place to post this stuff as well as keeping our front page “current”.
I’ve just sat and had a chat with Ben on TS and he reckons he can do what I’ve been saying above.
Is there any other features that you’ve seen on a game site. I guess here would be the place to list them.
I’ll try an FRAPS a nice group play video with at least a squad of us and post it on my channel linking it to the XDC channel and upload it there too. Push some of my subscribers to that channell.

Aye was good to be there, and good to see the likes of piercehead on ts as well. Was a bit harsh on the other team that we had such a good squad on the go but it certainly got a lot harder hen hippo, beer, and wizzy got together on the other team.
Need to see more of fluff and mcqueen on ts though!! Don’t be shy guys, you don’t even need to speak, it just helps being able to hear stuff! I suppose there’s quite a lot of swearing to put up with, but if that’s an issue, just say.
If the swearing gets out of control, I’ll just mute myself so you guys can’t hear it 🙂
But yeah, good games, first time I’ve really enjoyed BF3 in a while and wasn’t tempted to rage quit.
