the commission was created by the Republicrat party to keep 3rd parties out. They let Perot in in 1992, but after the showing he had they've changed the rules to make it even harder for people to get in. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commission_on_Presidential_Debates http://www.gp.org/press/pr_04_16...

Trillian issues an update today, and when I checked their forums trying to find a change log (I'm assuming it's a security fix, getting spammed with bot messages) - I found a forum post mentioning this. It looks promising:

And I restate my questions: Is there REALLY any difference?

That's not exactly what I meant Dell....

Is there really a difference?

He was on for a bit last night. I don't think you'll catch him.

I always liked it better when there was just one IM program.... til somebody showed me Trillian.

Older versions of Trillian supported irc - but the current free one doesn't. The newest version is rumored to bring this support back.

Az

Looks like Gaim has been renamed pidgin. Heh.

Anybody have experience with Trillian Pro?

Az

So, what's the current popular choice?

I use Trillian Basic 3.1 so I can run Yahoo, AIM, MSN and ICQ (I remember when ICQ was the only one, heh).

Anything better than Trillian? Anything major that I didn't list?

I also activated subsilver2 and made a few changes to it.

As soon as I figure it out I'll adjust subsilver2 to make it a darker style. I've partially figured it out but I'm not sure if I want to screw around with it much today.

Az

Ok, so I changed it.

If you want it back the other way - go change your board style to "glass" via the user control panel -> board preferences tab.

If you want something much brighter - pick proSilver. I use that one because it formats well and is very bright.

Az

I'm thinking of changing the forum default to either BlackBlood or ProSilver. Blackblood matches the vampire theme a bit more, and proSilver is very bright. The "glass" style has some issues with formatting at different resolutions. I am also going to talk with Netosia about adding some mo...

I saw him on too. I didn't get to talk with him much - I think he used up his monthly internet quota.

I think Mischief got lost somewhere in Asia....

Looks like their review system is down. I posted on their forums asking if they'd bring it back. I also posted on Mudconnector. *Puts on flameproof suit*. http://www.mudconnect.com/discuss/discuss.cgi?mode=MSG&area=promotions&message=20065 Go reply to it, and maybe rank the post? I don't pos...

I didn't see a way to write them either, but I did click on "enable reviews". I'll look around a bit more later and see what I can find.

Az

I wonder why there's not that much activity here. We have quite a few active players - it's rare to have more than 10 on at a time but we have several dozen regulars - yet little action on the forums. I think this can help spur more activity on the game. I also think it's a great way to communicate ...

Not that anybody cares, but thanks to the comments here as well as conversations with Genghis and Doink - I went with the Linksys Wireless-G router. The install disc was crap, but their customer support was (aside from the thick Indian accent on the tech support) very helpful. If they knew how much ...

Incidentally there the facebook page has 75% of the users the myspace page has. Facebook users include Genghis and Joker, among other admin and older players.

Hey, if it brings one person on, or more likely one older player back - I'm all for either of them.

Az

Hey guys, I'm sure I look like quiet the liar due to the lack of progress. What can I say, things got real busy for me irl too. I've been running into a few minor problems, but they're the kind that keep everything at a standstill. Hopefully I can get them addressed soon. Hopefully everybody has had...

I *think* this has been addressed in the announcement forums.

Feeding the various alts down may be something I do. I won't make any promises.

I have, temporarily, enabled reviews at Top Mud Sites. I'm sure we'll get some bad ones, but I was hoping some players would go and leave a few reviews. I'm not asking for @$$ kissing reviews, just honest reviews. Stop by and see if it works. I also updated the listing some. http://www.topmudsites.c...

Here are 2 quick links for those interested. If you have anything similar, please post.

Unfortunately I have to be the bearer of bad news. Kyndig has completely closed MudMagic/Mudrage. I don't think he'd been very active for a while and he came back and changed the name (he was separating the mudhosting from the community part of the website) - and got some negative comments. Then som...

Running forums isn't very difficult if you know anything about html, unix and mysql. At least, the phpBB based forums I've used require some knowledge of about that - maybe some css and ftp skills too. If you're not that good - and don't have shell access to a server (running the minimum version of ...

I edited the title. If you don't want to know, don't read this anymore.

Personally, I would have NEVER put this info out in the public - it'd have been on my clan forum.

I just added a bunch of new areas. It's a HUGE increase in rooms/mobiles/objects and resets. I honestly don't know a lot about it since I didn't build the areas and just did a quick lookover of them. They should be varied in size/difficulty/exp. The builder(s) can/will/may tell you more in the open ...

Email me with a name. I will look into it immediately. I'm checking some things out and I have found some things that need to be addressed. This may well be another thing. azazel@mudder.net I'm gonna lock this so it won't get ugly - but I won't delete this. When I resolve this, I'll post an update. ...

Mudconnector reset their vote totals today. This is good in a way, everybody starts off fair. Mudmagic should reset votes today - I don't think their voting system is automated to do that. Mudmagic resets monthly and Mudconnector every other month. So, please go vote: http://www.mudconnect.com/mud-b...

That's the kinda feedback I need. This iBook has airport and the other wireless card too I think.

Ok, I'm leaning to a linksys router. I'll have to look around on eBay some or buy.com. Wife is worrying the **** outta me about it.

Az

This post really didn't have anything to do with exp and bashing, so I split it into a different topic. Feel free to contribute on here.

Any players have any comments?

Az

Are there not enough bashing areas for different sized people? I am totally out of the loop on this, but would think this would be easy enough to fix. I know a large number of new areas should be live on the mud sometime during the next week. Old areas that aren't being used can be adjusted. Let's n...

Ok, this is not something that I or other admin are going to discuss on the forums. I've been reading everything that's posted, reading emails people have sent me (azazel@mudder.net) and talking with players. I've looked through some game logs as well. I've found quite a bit of stuff that's out of b...

This thread is more for "broken" or "unbalanced". Feel free to make another thread for ideas or suggestions.

Now now, let's not get into that. There's no reason to start any arguments.

Anyways - keep the complaints coming. I'm all ears.

I've made some adjustments to the forum pruning. The forum automatically deletes posts that aren't active after a certain amount of time. Due to the lack of activity, I figured that adding more time to the posts would be a good thing - it's not like we'll have so many that it'll take up a lot of ser...

Yes I have a wife. There's quite a lot about me you'd never expect. I'm not sure that I'll need a wireless card for my pc - I was looking at several linksys routers that had ethernet outs. I'm wondering does anyone here have specific experience running an iBook like this. I believe it has the AirPor...

Don't all jump in at once

Oh yea, where's a good tutorial on how to set it up - or should I just follow the instructions that come with the router?

My biggest concern is getting an apple iBook to connect to it - should there be issues?

Az

My wife just got an iBook for work and she wants me to set up a wireless router so she can use it at home. I'm running a 2.8ghz P4 with Winblows XP Pro SP3.

So - what do you guys recommend?

Az

Ok....

Well, Ideas/suggestions weren't necessarily what I was looking for but I'll take them. I wasn't so much wanting to know how to fix what was broken - just what was broken.

But don't stop - feel free to post suggestions as well. Just don't get upset if we don't comment on them. :>

Az

The question is in reference to the mud: I know problem #1 is no active players. What led to that? I'm well aware that lack of an active and visible admin TEAM is a major factor (I know there are a couple of admin who are semi-active but a couple don't make a team). I'm well out of the loop on a lot...

I see.

I doubt it. I haven't exactly been active. Seems there were always people while I (and other admin) were around. Looks like everybody (players/admin) got busy or something.

Sonja, you keep loggin on/off and I don't even get a chance to tell you ;p
