Attention Former and Current VM Empire members

Chaos · 03-05-2007, 02:23 AM

I like many of you frequent (or used to) the VM Empire forum and as of late it has kind of been dying off over there.Evil Ed the site Admin has been very busy as of late and hasn't been able to really manage the site much,as a result there has been a rash of spammers on there lately.Due to this EE has granted me Admin control there and I'm doing my damnest to keep them in check.

MCB has been a major inspiration to some of the changes I'm making over there,so,If you haven't been visiting the site due to the spam,being lost in the many forum host changes or whatever,then I urge you to check it out and help us rebuild the once great VM Empire. The current location for the forum is http://www.fatboypaintball.com/forums/

Thanks guys ,Hope to see you visit

Actually the security measures I have taken seem to have the problem under control over there now.Now the hard part,getting the numbers back...That forum used to be as busy as the old MCB was a few years ago,now it's almost dead.That's partially due to spam,partially due to the forum changing to different servers so many times,and partially because most of the members have since come over here (Which is partially my fault for refering so many people here).

I've started adding sections over there to help clean it up a bit and make things easier to find.I'm going to start posting anything and everything VM related I can find,I'd appreciated any assistance to draw some attention to the site.I've got it currently set up along the lines of the old MCB.

Just a few suggestions dum the red for text ( good for links) it is one of the hardest color. ( it is one of the forst things learned in graphics) Also bump up the font sizes a few ponts it is tiny on largest settings.

I wish PGPOG was on that format it would be much less work daily.

For changes like that I'll have to ask Evil Ed,it is his forum still and I don't want to change too much on him yet.Thanks for the input though B,it's much appreciated.

Good luck doing the admin thing. I signed up today and shall attempt productivity, since I'd rather in a paintball aspect than a work aspect as for the moment regarding scheduals and lunches and apperntly being the only person in the entire institution who has ever made ONE typo in their life.

Forget the hundreds of little things I've fixed for people in my carrear here, or anything, but you put an expiration date of 05 instead of 03 ONCE and you hear about it from three differnt people just to "confirm" LOOK I MADE A TYPO! I AM SORRY. Let us move on. I was only filling out eight other forms and that typo wasn't even on an important part or a legal document! GOOD GODS.

Yeah, I'll try and waste time or if I sell VMs post them there first.
