Migration complete!

Well, at least somewhat. We now welcome you back to www.trescom.org, which is in some way living the single life of a website once again! Of course this is only a metaphore (…and a horrible one at best – c’mon, websites? living? single? how rediculous…), but you can already see how things have improved now that we are on our own server again. Yes, it may only be me, but it seems as if our page has gained some speed, don’t you agree?

But anyhow, Remdul and I are still fixing things up and improving the old website as we move along. As a start, perhaps you’d be interested in visiting our hosted sites (this is only a sample of the ones we got):

* Trespassersecrets

* Rebel

* THS

* THS2

* TresDir

* TresCity

Or perhaps I can interest you in going through our slightly-improved menu bar to your left?!

Of course, this is only the beginning of a long list of updates, but you can say it with the rest of us: WE ARE HERE TO STAY!

Hosting is BACK!

With the new server comes new freedom: we are proud to reannounce our long-lost hosting plan. So write to us if you are interested in the deal: we can provide you with:

* free Webspace

* MYSQL Databases

* PHP/CGI Support

…and more. Just remember: all applicants must agree to our rules described on our Us helping you! page. 🙂

All day I dream about a… fast serv-errr?!

Ah, finally a note from myself. As you may have noticed, we locked the forum and are now in and on about to migrate to a new serverpark. I hope you understand that it may take Remdul and I a while to go through our checklists and make a 100% sure that everything is backed up and in place. As of time writing, we run through each and every page, fix broken links and check for missing images – a time consuming task, so I most certainly hope that you will bear with us and remain patient.

We are more than positive to complete the process just in time before the IGN hosting ends. So within that timeframe (24-48hrs), we will most likely begin to redirect each and every one to the new system and also reset the domains as we go.

Lastly, I would still like to leave a thank-you note to the entire IGN/Gamespy staff. Their kind offering has helped us through some rough years and opened the community to a much broader audience. Without the great hosting support, much of what we are now would not have come to existence – thank you!

Cheers,

Paul “madppiper”

Wait, I have a job to do 😛

Registration woes

Due to spam attacks, we’ve temporarily disabled registration until we get it all sorted out. Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.

IGN is shutting down hosting

Yesh, our webhost is shutting down. But not to worry! We have plans ready and will be transitioning in mid August to a new webhost. The move should talk only one day but we’re giving you this warning now to prepare you. We’ll have more details soon!

OK, OK, here’s a new screen of the week! Stop throwing stuff at me 😛

Special mention comes an animated gif of a glitch that comes to us from Rast1234:

This website is headed for a disaster of biblical proportions

What do I mean biblical? I mean Old Testament Mr. Visitor, real wrath of God type stuff. Fire and brimstone falling down from the sky, the rivers and seas boiling. 40 years of darkness, earthquakes, volcanoes. The dead rising from the grave! Human sacrifices, dogs and cats living together… MASS HYSTERIA.

So… Who ya gonna call?

Spambusters!

We are actively working to prevent this website from descending into the tenth level of the dark place, and I spent the last two weeks dealing with a mass spam migration. We are currently in the corner penthouse of spam central. Well, let’s say that a Twinkie represents the normal amount of spam in the TresCom area. Based on this morning’s reading, it would be a Twinkie thirty-five feet long, weighing approximately six hundred pounds. That’s a big twinkie.

Because of this, we need all new members to verify that they are real people by sending us an email with their username to trescomops*NOSPAM*@*NOSPAM*hotmail.com (Remove the *NOSPAM*s).

Bustin’ makes me feel good.

TresCom! Tonight we dine on SPAM

With the insane amount of spambots STILL flooding our inactive user list, I’m requesting that all who have recently registered and are awaiting admin approval are to email me with their chosen username. This will save me a lot of time deciding who to activate and who needs to be deleted.

The email is trescomops*NOSPAM*@*NOSPAM*hotmail.com. I will also post this notice on the TresCom forums.

Anti-Spam Countermeasures

Do to the sudden ridiculous amounts of spambots flooding the forums, I have been forced to set account activation to “by Admin” meaning that from now on once a user registers, they cannot post until an admin checks their IP for spam history. I have also adjusted our CAPTCHA settings to hopefully keep the amount of spambots to a minimum.

I apologize in advance for any inconvenience this may cause people wishing to join our site but due to each morning having upwards of 50 spam posts on the forums to deal with, it has proven to be necessary.
