  1. Yeah this is pretty accurate. I owned a Fiat 500e and it had a realistic range of 70-80 miles and it suited everything I needed for quite some time. The only reason I went back to an ICE vehicle is because I suddenly need to travel cross country one-way and the drop-fee for a rental and transport cost of my car is insane. Most people don't travel more than 40 miles in any day, and you can charge overnight on a standard 120v. Electric cars have around 70%-80% real efficiency of power usage and power plants are close to that while ICE vehicles are 50% tops. Many people make the argument that power plants are just moving the pollution somewhere else, but localized controlled pollution with heavy oversight is better than that pollution spread all-over. Not to mention there's a significant portion of the power-grid moving to renewable sources and nuclear power. From a personal standpoint, it was awesome owning an electric car. No emissions test, no oil, oil seals, transmission, transmission fluid, muffler system, ect, ect. Also since it's tech the value of those cars drops significantly in the first couple years. I picked up my Fiat 500e for $8000 with 10k miles on it, when just a few years ago it sold new for $36,000.
  2. Please do, I need material for Gorilla Gong.
  3. That's a question for @Ross Scott, but there are multiple problems with oauth stuff, including extra upkeep. Each time we update the site we also have to fix incompatibilities with the theme, custom plugins, ect. So each part of the site adds exponentially to the work required to perform an update. This means when Steam updates their oauth system, we're forced to do a full system update or people can't login. Oauth also adds the risk, because you're allowing a third party app to perform authentication on the site, and if Steam messes up, the site could be even more of a target than it already is.
  4. Emails once again working.
  5. Fantastic episode.
  6. I just wanted to update everyone, SendGrid changed their tiers to a substandard amount of emails per month and no longer was adequate for Accursed Farms. If you didn't get a registration email, password reset, notification, ect, it's because we were transitioning to another provider. Things appear to be working fine now.
  7. Thanks for letting us know!
  8. Hi, I'm the co-creator and programmer for Gorilla Gong. GG died years ago, we had trouble finding reviewers with enough time and talent to find, then sort through the vast pool of videos. The site hinged on vetted reviewers, and I think that's where I went wrong. I'm considering either re-purposing the site, or trying again with a Reddit style format. The old database has been preserved, so that list has been saved.

    The notification options are rhobust. Yeah I get some of these changes, but there does come a point where things get a hair too nitpicky. Notifications off by default seem like the better option to avoid our emails getting flagged as spam.
  10. HALLOWEEN DOUBLE FEATURE

    Hi there, RunCloud is a pretty great service, and I love DO, I'm glad someone else does as well. The MySQL port is actually open for security reasons believe it or not. PHPMYADMIN is horribly outdated, and we have our own solution to connect which requires MySql to be open. I'm not super worried about the SSH as we use other methods of authentication along with a strict jailing system. The firewall is also not default. I may change the SSH port though it depends if RunCloud needs it. Thanks for the tips!

    Welcome to AF 2.0

    I suggest setting the timer to SOME number, as there are instances of people coming back much later and editing out all of their comments due to spite. Sometimes thousands of them. It's recommended to set this number to something.
  14. It depends on the number of people working on it. Runuo, Lonewolf, Sphere, and Polserver are excellent examples of faithful mechanical recreation of a game without leaked server code. There are even some Ultima Online servers that 1:1 copy the OSI experience. The client was even encrypted and they still pulled it off.

    Hey we’re glad to hear it.
  17. This is why signatures are now allowed again. 1. They are restricted. 2. You can ignore people. I remember that signatures were once a problem, but this should solve it.

    Welcome to AF 2.0

    Those will disappear as we merge out, we're importing missing articles and videos from the front page and video page.
  19. As an update, I put signature limits in place. No animated signatures allowed. You can ignore any user signature permanently.
  20. It's getting there, still tweaking some things for the next week or two.
  21. I believe Ekket enabled the srt file extension.
  22. Testing topic move.
  23. I will talk to Ross about it again, but I disabled animated avatars because some people find them distracting. That was one of the reasons Ross disabled the forum signatures.
  24. Excellent.
  25. Can you change your profile pic now?
