Site Updates - Mar 13

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.

Slides from last night's presentation

Here are the slides from our presentation at TSOT last night. We unfortunately had some technical difficulties and that meant a lot of the jokes in the beginning were completely messed up :( The topic was RJS and Forumwarz: A Love Hate Affair. We spend a little time introducing the game, then we talk about some of the issues we encountered having an interface heavy in RJS during periods of concurrency. ...

Site Updates - Mar 10

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. ...

Just a reminder to anyone who’s in Toronto and is interested in the technical aspects of Forumwarz, we’re presenting at TSOT project night tomorrow night.

Site Updates - Mar 9

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. ...

Forumwarz Contest: Post Your Crotch Zombification Vids!

We have a new contest for the month of March. We want people to post original videos of themselves, delivering a “crotch zombie” to a victim — willing or otherwise! What’s a crotch zombie? It’s when you put your hands over your crotch and start slowly walking towards your mark, impressing your groin upon them while moaning and assuming the vacant stare of the walking undead. It’s…it’s actually quite immature and stupid. And it’s the name of our parent company. Go figs! ...

Site Updates - Mar 5

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. ...

Site Updates - Mar 4

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. ...
