    Forum reinstall

    To try and wipe out the attack code and other random damage caused last time AGN was hacked, I've completely wiped the forum software and done a reinstall. A few consequences:

    1. I've restored users and posts from backup, but some features will be missing or broken until I manually fix them. Please post any problems you notice here.

    2. Since AGN has a low level of activity these days I've disabled all but the most active forums, and those dedicated to ZC development. Everything is still available to read in the archives, and could well be back some day if activity picks up.

    3. If you were formerly a member of the senior staff, are active, and want your position reinstated, please post here or PM me.

    4. I've disabled registration temporarily, until the kinks with the reinstall are worked out and I find a good CAPTCHA system that doesn't leak spambots like a sieve. If you have any ideas, please post them here.

    5. I'm going to see if I can install some themes besides the default vBulletin white & blue. If you have any logos, smilies, or other images that I could use to spruce the place up, please post them here. Also, if you have experience creating or modifying vBulletin themes and would like to help out, please send me a PM.


    On deck:
    - Put in non-crap CAPTCHA and enable registration
    - Fix generic avatars
    - Fix smilies
    - Install themes (in progress)
    -- Black
    -- Default
    -- Fire
    - Fix bug thread icons
    - Install arcade
    - Fix reputation
    - Fix stars
    - Fix infraction system
    - Install spam blacklist
    - Fix zeldaclassic.com comments
    - Fix zeldaclassic.com mirrors
    - Fix zeldaclassic.com emails?
    - Fix zeldaclassic.com & AGN unified logins (won't fix for now)
    - Fix redirection problem when logging in
    - Change favicon

    I would suggest disabling links in signatures and posts until a certain post count is reached, say 100 posts.

    Good job. I was rather badly constipated. :)

    I've put in a little Zelda-themed antibot question and enabled registration. We'll see over the next few days if it's enough to stop the spambots.

    Don't forget the bug thread icons! New, Sick, Unverified, etc.

    I see that the reputation system is gone, but I could care less if it comes back or not, seeing as it had hardly ever been used since 2009.
    Also, I see that image BB Code is disabled in signatures.

    Had some sort of error upon first login, but I didn't catch it. We'll see if it pops up again.

    Out of curiousity, is the reputation system coming back? I'm sure I'm not the only one that has incredibly old reputation that it would be cool to go through, since it hasn't been accessible for quite some time.

    Everything looks and sounds good. Callitaday's idea is a good one.

    I'll take my staff position back with an upgrade, Senior Mod or Admin, so I can start editing the signatures of all the spam bots. :-p

    New auto save feature is fucking awesome! Just dropped out of the hospitals wifi and came back without having to change a whole lot.

    A lot of members asked for an arcade, so there's that.

    Also, thanks, man. We know you do all this with your own time and we appreciate it.

    The only forum stuff I'd like to see back is General Gaming Discusion. And maybe the kitty smilie.

    I like it already. Anything is better than that awful default VBulletin skin.
    Makes me wish I know how to this stuff so I could give you a hand.

    I wouldn't mind getting my position back either.
    Not too worried about rep, but yes, bringing back the arcade would be awesome.
