Your and You’re

Posted by Ryan Gordon on February 21, 2007 under General, MyBB, Online | 7 Comments to Read

Recently Chris Boulton and I had a 101 lesson on Your and You’re grammar. It went something along the lines of this:

Chris Boulton says:
Your and You’re
Chris Boulton says:
the Chris Boulton 101
Chris Boulton says:
You’re is the shortened version of “you are”
Chris Boulton says:
for example
Chris Boulton says:
instead of saying you are tikitiki, I could say you’re tikitiki
Ryan says:
you’re gay
Ryan says:
like that?
Ryan says:
just kidding.
Chris Boulton says:
your defines posession of something
Chris Boulton says:
IE, your small brain
Chris Boulton says:
just kidding
Ryan says:

MyBB… I like the way you import?

Posted by Ryan Gordon on November 13, 2006 under MyBB | 9 Comments to Read

The whole point of the MyBB Import system is that you can merge databases. You can also select what to import, and what not to import. Now it’s not finished, but I’ll explain what the system does and how easy it really is!

MyBB Conversion Wizard - Welcome

The first step – The welcome page! Not all of the converters have been finished, but this shows what will be done by the time 1.4 is released. Currently we’ve finished: MyBB (Merge), SMF, phpBB 2, and PunBB.

MyBB Conversion Wizard - Module Selection

The second step shows you the module list. You’ll need to fill in your database configuration details as shown in the picture below.

MyBB Conversion Wizard - phpBB 2 Database Configuration

This page is where you’ll fill in the database details of the database you want to import.

MyBB Conversion Wizard - Module Selection 2

Once you are done with that, you’ll get back to the module page. Here you’ll see that you can select a module to start out from. These modules need to be done first because data is required from these modules for other modules.

MyBB Conversion Wizard - Import phpBB 2 Usergroups
Here you’ll input how many of the module you selected you want to import. Once you’re done with this, click next to continue.

MyBB Conversion Wizard - Import phpBB 2 Usergroups 2
At this screen, it shows you whats been run in the module. Click next to continue; If there are more it will continue on with the module, otherwise you’ll be sent back to the module list as depicted in the picture below.

MyBB Conversion Wizard - Module Selection 3

Here you’ll be able to select the next module, or, if your finished, you can press ‘Clean Up’ and it will show the next page.

MyBB Conversion Wizard - Completion
The is the last page of the importer before you can visit your new imported board :)

You can also pause modules so you don’t have to run them all. Say you only wanted to import 10 threads. And of course, you can resume the module if you wish to continue importing them, but we’ll get into that more later

The Community where there is no light at the end of the Tunnel

Many of you may know that the Rollercoaster Tycoon Section at the Atari Community has taken a downfall in the past few months. Spam, Advertising, people who think they’re above the rules, etc… It’s all getting really, horribly annoying, to the point where I don’t even like to visit it anymore. Everywhere I go, people are ridiculing each other, and spamming it up. Even for me, to make a post is just not worth it, because you turn around and you have 10 replies saying why your post isn’t and wasn’t perfect in every possible manner.

Seriously? When did it become a requirement to be perfect at the Atari Community?

Let me ask you this; Has anyone ever taken a step back, and asked why?

MyBB 1.2

Posted by Ryan Gordon on July 5, 2006 under MyBB | 2 Comments to Read

Starting today, I will post a new and different picture of MyBB 1.2 everyday :) MyBB 1.2 Quick Quote Screenshot

(click to englare)

This is an image of the new “Multi Quote” feature in MyBB! As you can see, if you select a post to “Quote” from another thread different to which you are replying to, it will give you the option of including those quotes from the other thread into the new post :)

2006 Soccer Tournament

Posted by Ryan Gordon on June 10, 2006 under Sports | 4 Comments to Read

I’ve been playing soccer for 8 years now! In the last few months we’ve been playing in a tournament in the 2006 Milpitas Soccer Leage. We won all the games except for one. Darn Spurrs! Fortunately for us, they liked to play dirty and got cited and kicked off the leage half way in. The rest of the games we dominated, and therefore… Well I’ll just let you take a look for yourself:

2006 Soccer Award

I think it has to do with a large portion of the team being together for 3 seasons. We’ve also had the same coach for the last 3 season and we’re getting together for one more season, which starts in August. Unfortunately for us though, is that we’ll be the noobies in this league because we have to move up to Under 16.

Some of you maybe watching the MLS World Cup recently. And man, those guys can really play!
