Well clearly. I assume cantr at least has svn..... sheesh.

Cantr still has svn as far as I know, even though they started using a different location after the crash but it seems to have the same files as the old trunk did. I haven't updated in a while but at least it was working after the crash. What's not working is phpMyAdmin and it's much easier to use queries through there than having to write them in a file and commit that. And if I write a query wrong, I sure wouldn't want that to show up in a change log where everyone can see it.

Well the prg dept does do a lot of good like no mins how great is that and the greatest one I have seen is the keytag i have a few old guys with something like 100 keys ever try to pass one you know how hard it is.

So thanks programers you guys are great and really people might bitch about things taking long but they are ignorant about haw hard it is to do.
I'm baaaaaack!

The minutes thing was a matter of adding a "0", and the key tags were done by Marol, who now no longer does ProgD stuff as far as I'm aware. So with Jos inactive and the ProgD not having any access there hasn't been much suggestions added, and as things are now, I doubt it will change much.

@Wiro - still, someone took the time to do it, regardless of the complexity.

Moving this to general discussion, as it's way off topic and wasn't really a real suggestion anyway (if it was, I'd reject it).

Yeah, but those are pretty much the only things added in what? The past six months? I really hope ProgD will be actually up and running soon...

@BlueNine - if you want to help, please PM me an application (which of course you can't access now because the game is down).


Funny... I sent one, got one PM of almost irrevelant response and then.... nothing. Not rejected, not accepted, not debating on.... Nothing.


edit: so, I can read between the lines, that Cantr is down, noone knows how to repeair it, and, what is the worse, even if it magically starts working, noone knows how to change anything, because NOONE KNOWS how it works? :evil:



edit2: To be fair, Doug, I didn't send it to you, but to someone else from the staff.

BZR - I think your application is just sitting there, because the people qualified to judge it aren't available right now. I'm trying to move things along, but you don't just move a mountain of accumulated atrophy in a day, week, or even a month. Your patience is desired.

Sorry if this is a bit off topic, but Doug, did you used to host Cantr Radio?

Wasn't Doug Brown a Canadian? I know his profile said he lives in Washington, but I think he moved back to Canada and does a radio show in Canada now.
