I don't know who this guy is, but I think he's referring to me..
Yes, I have read the topic (http://socoder.net/?Topic=6527) before the newsletter and decided not to make a fuss about it, but name calling is below the belt and so I thought of bringing this up here..

Good job, moron.
Way to honour the best website of the early 2000s.
I'm not trying to honor BRL here, but if you're getting the wrong impression yes they have done great, but actually, this is for Blitz and Monkey-X users..
..and to answer his/her article:
QuoteSomeone buys a domain name..
That's me..
QuoteSlaps on a basic, generic, off the shelf forum script onto it..
Something wrong with that? Most websites today does this (WordPress = MonkeyCoder.co.nz, SMF = SyntaxBomb, etc) and the forum is built from the ground up using a code framework, not off the shelf like you imagined and is constantly under heavy modifications. We got emojis like github shorthand now..
QuoteDoesn't bother to make it look anything like the original (in fact, it's damn near the exact inverted colour scheme)..
I thought having a familiar theme will make it more feel at home for most users, but yes it's made with Bootstrap so theme styling is not even a problem.
QuoteDoesn't bother adding Showcase/Articles/etc functionality..
Still a WIP, got GNet now and will be adding those sections that you mentioned eventually..
QuoteDoesn't bother to post a simple 'Welcome' post..
Actually, I welcome each new user to the forum, rather than a static welcome post..
QuoteDoesn't even bother to post anything... AT ALL..
The site is still a work in progress, but don't worry we'll get there but it seems you're too eager and interested..
QuoteAnd leaves it to rot..
It's been just weeks since this got started, perhaps give it some time?
The name calling seems unnecessary, but I'm not gonna stoop down to his/her level of name calling with this Jayenkai guy. I know he/she's well-known to you guys and the bias is huge on this one, so this will be the last time that I will be bringing this topic and I don't want to keep some of these thoughts to myself.. it's unhealthy, at least for me.
I appreciate the publicity though (good or bad) by putting the blitzcoder.org site at his/her newsletter.
At least I'm getting a fairer treatment here, even though I'm almost unexpectedly banned a few weeks ago for some unknown reason ( Thanks Qube! ;) )
It's not even months, and this is not a full-time job so I don't think patience is in his/her vocabulary..
That's all folks.

Thanks Rooster. No, that slipped by so I guess that will be the case, but same as Qube, I don't treat it as a competition. not even crossed my mind.
He can throw any hard hitting insults on the site, I don't care that's why I am quiet about it until this name calling thing, just don't take it personally.. that's all.
..oh nou.. :)

Oy! The live chat here ( in it's early days ) is hand crafted and not off the shelf ;D :P

Lol, you got accidentally banned because we were / are getting a lot of spammers from the email domain @yandex.com. I assumed that it was just a spam domain and blanket banned the lot but I guess not as your email address is also a @yandex.com one. Luckily you were not banned for long :) - My fault, nothing to see, move along people.

Just do what you want to do. If it works out then great. It if it doesn't work out then at least you'll not have to go "I wonder what would of happened if..."
QuoteI don't treat it as a competition. not even crossed my mind.
This site is SyntaxBomb. Each and every one of you is a SyntaxBuffer... Our fuse will not be dimmed, nothing will dampen our spark and no-one will ever stop us from coding. We will rise and function as one. SyntaxBombers Assemble!!!!!
Sorry, got carried away a little :P
Hey, glad we're on the same page Qube, thanks. Actually, my tolerance for online insults is quite high and I don't mind, but this name calling is something I would not let slipped by, at least it should be known for the record. It's really not worth fighting over or having any competition as I'm doing this if time permits, really enjoy doing it and so I'm glad to have a few on board now, really appreciate it. :)

Thanks ah yes, yandex.com is or was actually a good mail service, I have no problems using it. I got it recently as to separate my personal email with other forum, site registration and membership stuff, so I know what I'm expecting on my inbox with these separate emails.

Just saying in general it's not a bad thing to have off-the-shelf solutions and it's actually practical (I don't know why Jayenkai guy brought that up) but good to know you got the chat working here, awesome :)
Quote from: Naughty Alien on November 13, 2017, 04:38:17
..oh nou.. :)
Hey NA, do you know Jayenkai?.. was/is he a member on SB as well?.. I assumed he's not after checking out Rooster's link there :) just curious I guess.
..mmm..nou...i have no idea who is that guy (Jayenkai)..i have seen that nickname only once, when i wanted to join there and during registration, some anti-bot text appeared which i had no clue what it is, hence, i never registered..so, upon failure of registration, email form opened which addresses that guy, which i just canceled and basically, never get registered there..hehehe..
..i have no idea who is he..must be some alpha boi over there..hehe..

I'm not trying to honor BRL here...
Just to clarify, this is nothing to do with BRL as much as it is the beloved community website Blitzcoder (https://web.archive.org/web/20050329033955/http://www.blitzcoder.com:80/).
I make no comment on the rest. Just wanted to clarify that bit. (I do think the name-calling was a bit harsh)
Jayenkai is not a bad guy. He can swear sometimes though :)
He also has the agameaweek website.
I'm with Paks, he's a good lad really, yeah, he swears a bit and that (Dont we all?), but overall, he's had a lot to deal with in real life, and still is really, granted it's not an excuse, but, we can all get a little quirky sometimes... I think that's just what happened there..
He wouldn't of meant it personal I dont think, just wrong choice of words if you ask me.
I visit both boards, and love them equally, anywhere where I can settle in and talk tech and nonsense amongst old coding friends who've in most part have been around since I first bought my BUID alll them years ago, it's comfy see! And it's equally good seeing new avatars as well! ;)
Anyway, yeah, that's just my thoughts on it, like I said, I wouldn't take the comments too seriously! ;)

No worries LineOf7s and thanks. I also want to clarify that with the non-affiliation disclaimer here (http://blitzcoder.org/forum/non-affiliation-disclaimer.php) and will also have to add that original BlitzCoder and this Socoder site.

Ok Dabz lol, no worries btw I think we already had that discussion and thread here before.. ;D
Small issue for me and moving forward because there are more things up ahead, so first on the agenda is doing this to my own thread here to close this mini drama lol..

cheers.
Sounds more like a jerk. Just ban him.
I was actually banned from socoder when somebody told me to fuck off! Yes, it's very clicky there, and even though I was being attacked about something I was working on, and I responded with sarcasm - I was the one banned!! Because the person had been there longer I guess. He wasn't banned, even though he was doing all the attacking and swearing. So I wouldn't go there again even if I was unbanned.

That was unfortunate Steve, but the guy is at it again.. http://socoder.net/?Topic=6559
Title says
Lineage and HonorHonor? says the guys who swears a lot and not too take it personally and bans people like old time Blitz members.
QuoteHe's taken the complaint to SyntaxBomb instead of bringing it to me.
He's the one who's in the wrong here, why should I come to him? You owe me an apology Jayenkai, and maybe a retraction of that 'moron' thing, if you're not too proud of yourself.
People are most important, domains and sites come and gone. I haven't done anything yet and he's making these fantasy assumptions.. and that's really sad. Lineage and Honor.. where are we? the medieval times?
I don't know, but is there a higher authority for Blitz users here other than MS here? that seems to be what he is implying and the role he is trying to take..
reach out dude, I have no grudge against you, I don't even know you in the first place, even though you started this nonsense, I'm waiting..
Oh dear, well, as a member who visits both sites, and enjoys using them both, I think I'll grab the popcorn! :D

hehe yea Dabz, I thought this was over so I already ate mine.
Hmm now I'm dragged into this at socoder with a snide couple of comments about my spelling. That speaks volumes about people there - and complete denial of banning me for a month.
Received a really nice apology from Jayenkai, so obviously he's not all bad.
He talks about 'locking out', rather than a ban. That seems the same thing in my eyes, but anyway, as far as I'm concerned the matter is over (for me at least).
Personally I'll only come to one programming site, and this site suits me just fine. :)
I like gossip at lunchtime...
But I would prefer some semi-naked girl photos too, but I've found them on that forum & posts...
Seriously, Did I miss something important? (really, I've lost the path...)

I prefer to let this go degac as there are better things to do and important stuff to worry about. I got work to do as somebody needs my help for a bit and a perfect time to cool it off. In short, I'm being accused of something that I have not done yet, along with this name calling thing.
Good for you Steve. I don't expect any apology as obviously the guy only picks his fights and decides not to own on his arrogant mistake. Some people really likes to spend their time making assumptions instead of giving it time or at least helping others.. it's a shame.
@Jayenkai: It's not flat file dude, it's PDO latest stuff so again with those assumptions.. have fun making more.

There has never been anything of pornographic nature on SoCoder, if that's what you mean as "that forum".
My apologies degac, I misunderstood, I thought you were referring to SoCoder. I've just been put right by a very reputable source. ;)
@GfK over at SoCoder :
QuoteYeah I seem to think it was somebody using it to host warez or porn or something. I mean... surely you'd just ban the user so maybe there was more to it than that.
Yes mate, there was. Three separate legal letters threatening action for hosting illegal warez. That was the point I thought enough is enough even though I did try to clean the server but couldn't guarantee it wasn't compromised in another way. It was a mistake to offer hosting space for every member and that will not happen again :)

I think the hosting thing was my idea, and thus... My fault! :(
Sowwy!!!
Anyway, since we're on about porn... I'll just put this here:-
^Sheer filth

Lol, was it your idea? :P - The idea was fine as hosting wasn't as cheap back then as it is today.

Careful, If you have too many good 'ideas' your toes will fall off...Dabz once had a good idea to cut his toe nails with a sythe, and his toes fell off lol. :P
Gotta love Blackadder.
well food P0rn is better than nothing :D :D , I'm hungry now! Cheeers!

For a forum creator and moderator to sign up at another forum, that he has no intention to participate in, for the sole purpose of complaining and criticizing the forum, has to be one of the lowest things I've ever seen. The fact that RonTek didn't immediately ban him just goes to show who really is the better person here.
Man he seems full of him self...
I hope I never wind up like that.

You might. To avoid it, just make sure to not enjoy the aroma of your own farts.
On the topic of this, Jayenki has some arbitrary, bullshit-ladden, standard that he's whining about.

Ron handled that pretty well. Hats off to him. Greater man he is in that relationship!
