New Stuff The character selection screen lists your visits left for each character. You can sort your Bookmark / Forums tab by difficulty. In fact, this is now the default setting. Added your forumbuildr voting ratio to your vitals on your profile. Note that it only takes into account recent activity. You can get a good idea of how accurate the number is based on how many votes were counted in creating the ratio. ...
New Stuff Can now link directly to a post in Flamebate (see the # link below it) Split Vanilla Rush E-Peen(tm) into two. The Klan E-Peen(tm) is now exclusive to the Sisterhood Klan, and the new Vanilla Addict E-Peen(tm) went to Bigguyinblack. Added medal winning E-Peen(tm): People with medals have a “Medal Winner” E-Peen(tm), and there’s a new one for topping the Most Medals Leadeboard, currently topped by Barely Legal. Officers can now leave klans (admins still cannot). ...
New Stuff There are now countdown timers on the site for Forumwarz Domination, ForumBuildr v2.0 Beta, and your Forum Visits remaining. Added two new features to Klans to help in Domination. One is “Domination” which lists all the forums, the current pwners, their klans and when they were pwned. The second is “Vists Left”, which lists the amount of forum visits left for members of your klan who have been active in the last week. ...
New Stuff For those keeping track of how many forums they pwn in a row, there’s now a new sub-tab on the Forums tab under bookmarks that lists your previous 50 visits as well as whether you pwned them, and how long it took you. There are now pistachio scoops rewards for those who pwn more than 12 in a row! You will now receive 6 pistachio scoops for 16 in a row, 8 for 20 in a row, and 10 for 24 in a row. ...
Changes We’ve decided to retire the “Worst Gamblers” leaderboard and E-Peen(tm). Unfortunately it was very expensive for our server to calculate. It was brought to my attention that the Nexus Warriors were in fact the first people to perform a vanilla raid in Forumwarz Domination. Since the Sisterhood of the Quivering Rose klan did it on such an impressive scale (twice!) I decided to award both Klans the E-Peen(tm) and change the description slightly. ...
ForumBuildr Updates You can choose to pass on submissions you don’t feel strongly about either way. Players now have a ForumBuildr score, that will change based on the quality of their submissions. Everyone starts at 0. You are now limited in how many submissions you can make in a week. A higher buildr score increases this. Smaller Things Vitals now always show up on your profile, even if it’s disabled. ...
New Stuff We now list active threads on the flamebate main page. Domination Archive page now has a drop down of teams. There was way too many to go through otherwise. Bug Fixes We shouldn’t end up with a super-sized medal team in domination again. I know I promised it last week, but I mean it this time! :) If you try to deploy the XSS attack in a forum where you can’t, you will no longer be charged a forum visit incorrectly. ...
New Stuff Klan Forums - Each Klan now has a private flamebate forum for their own secret discussions! We’ve expanded Flamebate into many more categories. We’ve also added tons of new topics, so feel free to get new discussions started guys. We want to keep this awesome community going :) There’s been a large effort to make the game more accessible to players using screen readers. A lot of the images that weren’t properly tagged now are. ...
Just a small update today: I went insane this morning fixing server lag and I think we’re running smoothly. We’re dealing with a consistent 50 requests / second right now, insane! There’s now a notice when you view the profile of a player who’s been banned. for example, this asshole. More fun stuff coming soon!
We’ve upgraded to a much faster server. Even with a RAM upgrade our old one just wasn’t cutting it under the load of thousands of active users. There might be some weird behavior while the DNS records update. Please let us know if you experience anything strange!
