Smashboards Under New Ownership

[Muhti]

There's already a mobile version of the site

I know, but when the site gets an upgrade I hope it doesnt lose that style of mobile accessibility.

I sort of want to get involved in this somehow. Not sure how though lol

Are the older 2007 threads and posts still archived somewhere and will be available do you think?

 

[deepseadiva]

Nicely timed before the Smash 4 invasion. Looking forward to the upgrades!

 

[Xebenkeck]

Thank goodness.

Lets hope this means great things ahead.

AZ is godlike.

I came here to hype the possibility of a dedicated sub-forum for Project: M! Yeow!

 

[stabbedbyanipple]

Wow this is tight lol

turn off profanity filter

Pleaseeeeee do this ^^^^

 

[Jaedrik]

I am simply overjoyed.

 

[Xebenkeck]

Conker should be added to Smash 4 just to honour AlphaZealot's avatar.

 

[MorningThunder]

I approve.

 

[Spyro]

Too bad Conker belongs to Rare who just makes games for Microsoft.

[stingers]

[Slim_X]

Looking forward to it! Will update go for mobile too???

 

[Napos]

I don't know if you remember Show Me Your News from the Pre Brawl days, but You should update their iTunes feed so people know that the podcast has been going on all these years.

so jelly. i want your account

 

[HariKyuubi]

How about making it so members can manually choose to turn off the profanity filter? Everyone's a winner then. :D

And then the minute-long search limit... .n.

Ohmygosh this is going to be so cool. >:3

Not a bad idea!

 

[Kal]

There would probably need to be some change in the forum's coding, since it automatically replaces profanity with asterisks. But I do agree, that's a good ****ing idea.

 

[Juggleguy]

This is amazing news, AZ! I'm excited for our community's opportunity to expand Smashboards to its full potential, and doubly excited that a respected Smash vet like you is in charge of the transition. Really looking forward to contributing however I can.

 

[Pmac]

Great news. I joined a long time ago too and loosely follow, it's great to see consistent leadership. Good luck with the transfer.

Kirby King popped out of the woodwork the other day and let us know he's got a backup of the pre-07 things, so fingers crossed, we might get those back. Depends on a number of factors, probably the bigger one being if adding a couple of years worth of posts would affect stability.

 

[Sephiroths Masamune]

AlphaZealot always looking out for the community. Here's for the years to come.

 

[M.I.K]

this is exciting! i cant wait to see whats next for smashboards

 

[DippnDots]

Odds are there's a file on the server(s) that contains a list of all the "profane words".

Just make that file empty of any words and bam. But that does it for everyone.

 

[Prydeless]

Good Job AZ keep it up !

 

[shadowtroop]

Does this mean, after 4 years, the Friend Finder will finally come back?

For old time's sake?

 

[Claire Diviner]

Well, as was already stated a million times, this is great news. As much as I love the structure of the forums now, I can only imagine what the forums would be like after the change.

Thinking about it now, shouldn't you be an administrator now that you're going to be the owner, or what?

 

[JTsm]

A diddy main owning the boards? Idk mannnnnn

Just kidding. This is great news! MLG didn't do **** for this site. AZ will lead us

 

[ndayday]

Awesome awesome awesome.

 

[Sixth-Sense]

Tooooooooo gooooooood this is amazing, amazing **** AZ, are you by any chance a wizard?

This (hopefully) will really turnaround how smashboards is organized, i know the melee boards need some serious help, and PM needs thier own forum too

^this

It was supposed to be back up by the end of the week

 

[Claire Diviner]

I haven't been around the Melee boards to know, but I can certainly agree with P:M using its own board. Am I the only one who thinks Smash 64 could use a board expansion too?

Thinking about it now, shouldn't you be an administrator now that you're going to be the owner, or what?

Oh, look, he's an admin now. He still has that new admin smell.

 

[Jon Farron]

:O Can we get Like buttons now (Like a like or dislike button at bottom of people's posts)? and awards??? and more fun stuffs??? :D this is gonna be good ^-^

I suggested this a while back but I guess it made too much sense for the old administration because they said NO.

Good ****, AZ. We have nothing to lose but everything to gain with this move.

 

[Johnknight1]

I read this a few times, but I really like the idea of having a "like" button for posts. I would like to expand upon that idea. Maybe there can be something like youtube where the top 2 comments (whether for a thread or per page) could appear on top of the thread (as an option; maybe you could customize it a bit, or turn off the "like" feature).

I'm no programmer, so I don't know how it would work, but it sounds like a cool idea to me.

I haven't been around the Melee boards to know, but I can certainly agree with P:M using its own board. Am I the only one who thinks Smash 64 could use a board expansion too?

I think Project M doesn't necessarily need it's own board necessarily, but game-changing mods should definitely get their own forum (and Project M a role in it). Of course, I think nobody would really be all that opposed Project M getting its' own board.

Still, Smash 64 needs its' own board first like Mike Tyson needs a psychiatrist (not a pigeon!).

I can just imagine all the angry PMs being sent to moderators everywhere:

"I can write damn but can't write daaaaaaaamn?!"

Optional is dumb. Just keep/remove the filter lol.

 

[Claire Diviner]

Personally, I hardly see the need for the removal of the profanity filter. I mean, whether it's removed or not, I can already tell what people are trying to say (most of the time).

 

[ZIO]

Eh, I'd be against the removal of the filter.

As cumbersome as it may be to some of you, this site is still family friendly. Since that is, profanity is frowned on.

But, if they were to, say, provide a private room of some kind where the filter is off there for users mature enough to handle that content, I think THAT would be most suitable.

 

[BBQTV]

seeing **** is actually funnier so i dont mid if they keep the filter but either way is fine
