That's wonderful. All in same structure is a real good thing.

Qube · June 21, 2017, 23:26:04

Just to update, this is still going to happen soon soon. I've just been bogged down with real life coding work

This is really a great thing

I was new to the site, using them as a source and then, gone.

But now Great!!!!!!!!!!

Cannot wait

Update : I've have done the code for conversion and forum insertion but there are a handful of irregularities to code around. These should be done today and when ready to insert into the the forum I'll put it into maintenance mode to avoid any issues with MySQL ID's. As the script will be pushing probably 50+ posts a second I think it's best that it has sole priority on it's job.

I estimate that the forums will be unavailable for approx 30 minutes tops for pre and post work. I will take a full database backup beforehand just incase some anomaly wreaks havoc with the forums.

Fingers X-ed!

Blitz Code Archives are up

There may be a couple of errors here and there and I know they need reordering ( date issues ). But, they are in

Looks good!

can I pose 2 suggestions?
1) remove the period from [.bmx] and [.bb]
2) change the '&lt;' into '<'
3) any way to show more posts per page?

Thanks for putting online the code-archive & comments!

Quick note:
1. if you click (as user) UNREAD (post) you will have something like +150 page to read! (can you make it as 'read' for everyone)?
2. it seems that the archive is 'inside' the forum... good for posting comments, dont' know if so good for searching

Quote1) remove the period from [.bmx] and [.bb]

Done.

Quote2) change the '&lt;' into '<'

Fixed.

Quote3) any way to show more posts per page?

Only for forum wide and not by board.

Quote1. if you click (as user) UNREAD (post) you will have something like +150 page to read! (can you make it as 'read' for everyone)?

Quickest way is to go into your unread posts, scroll to the bottom and click on "mark all as read"

Quote2. it seems that the archive is 'inside' the forum... good for posting comments, dont' know if so good for searching

Search works fine?

Ooo Blitz Code Archives have appeared. This place suddenly got a whole lot more substantial. Nice one Qube.

Mikey · July 01, 2017, 02:52:00

Thanks for the BB code archives.

Wonderful Job

Thank you for bringing them here.

There's also the domain set up by skidracer (I think?), it preserves the categories:
http://wasted.nz/codearcs.php

Ehh...thinking about it, why couldn't those forums just have moved to wasted.nz instead of being taken down entirely? It wouldn't be related to BRL anymore, like intended.

RonTek · July 01, 2017, 10:27:57

Nice!

The goal was to burn down the old communities in hopes that everyone would move over to monkey2 which is currently a ghost-town.

btw: There are still are a lot of '"' in the code archives.
