Well... one episode in three parts, means three times the views, and therefore three times the advertisement money for Machinima. I don't know if this is the reason, but If it means more money for Ross as well, I think it's ok.

Yeah -- phpbb is probably going to be what it's based on.

No I was really imagining Zachary slaving away on the forums for days only to have ross scott say in a monotonous tone: "I don't like it" who then proceeds format Zak's C:> drive.

I don't know Ross, If that Arby n' The Chief guy can have like a 40 Minute movie on Machinima, I don't see why you can't just upload as whole to them.

I use the computers at the library...I left Black Mesa when the aliens in my head started killing people...

Vanilla? Really? I'm with Ross here, and I vote for phpBB3, 2 hands up! Zach, I know you're doing hard work but really, phpbb3 is the best one to choose, my personal opinion

Ross, I've watched this series over and over again, and notice one flaw. the gunshots (mainly the pistol) are way too loud. i know the loudness is realistic, but sometimes the gunshots make the dialog really hard to hear.if you could tone it down a little, it would make the series more watchable.

Well the chart hasn't been updated in 12 days, so we have no idea how much it has progressed since then.

At the rate the chart is progressing, I get the feeling we will get at least two more Freeman's Mind before The Tunnel arrives. Ross' throat is probably getting better by now.

The Tunnel is proceeding nicely, but it's been slow lately because Jimmy has been busy playing Ep:3 all week. I don't blame him though, after accursed-hydroponics.com crashed for the upteenth time. But, like my Grandpa always said, "I am Captain Ross Scott of the intergalactic house of pancakes, ordering you to work harder!". Heh, Grandpa was a fighter. well, I'm sure we'll finish Grandpa's final wish within the year.

Ross Scott III

heheh, yeah. *Touches wood*

I don't really like it either in its current state. Going from the dark blog site to the white forum seriously burns my eyes, and the layout is too busy; saying 'All categories' at the top is un-necessary, and so is putting the discussions/comments counters below every forum section, why not use a table format similar to pre-4.0 vBulletin?

lol

Well, to be honest I don't see a problem here There are soooooo many forum engine out there: phpbb3, smf, etc, etc. The most simple solution is to install, let's say 10 different forums, show them to Ross and let him choose.

Also on a side note, I wouldn't recommend choosing the engine based on layout. Layout is a customizable thing, you can install different themes and if the engine is popular, it will have many free themes to choose from. IMHO what matters is really the functionality, extensibility and community (lots of free plugins, modules, etc).

PS. I like how clean the layout is but it's really a bit confusing, a good old phpbb-like layout is more easy to use for me

He really doesn't like vanilla forums layout.

Here's the current "mockup". He doesn't like it.

That was originally a joke, but thanks.

The third one is hiding

Just out of curiosity: what can one be dissatisfied with when it comes to forum?

I mean it's not like you guys are coding the forum from scratch, you probably took some phpbb3 or any similar soft and have installed it. So I can imagine only two possible states here: installed or not installed ))

Your cat's are interesting Zachary. I looked at them.

Three words?

Disturbingly placed smiley!

Hugasaka Hugasaka!

Oh shit, oh shit, oh shit!

H.E.V. activated. Automatic medical systems engaged. Major fracture detected. Internal bleeding detected. Emergency. User death imminent.

I remember an old engineering axiom one of my teachers used to say: good, fast and cheap. Pick two.

Mhmm. I wonder who fits where... I remember one summer I was doing volunteer work at a rural school (basic repairs and some painting) and the caretaker let me cut some logs with his chainsaw. As soon as I started the thing, the rest of the workcrew mysteriously dissapeared. So I'm guessing maniac.

This remInds me of the cat-picture-in-a-comment incident a few months ago... I wonder if anyone else noticed/remembers that.
