View Full Version : Replacement for UBB
Jeff Hunter
2006-11-22, 01:47
I've been working on getting a replacement for UBB set up here for the past few weeks and things are coming together. I've installed a separate database server to handle the message database and I went and bought a copy of vBulletin. Right now I'm working on porting the UBB data over to vBulletin on a test server. The version of UBB that totse uses is so old that there are no ready-made conversion tools around, so I've had to take a UBB converter for a more recent version of UBB and adapt it.
One thing I've found is that vBulletin in particular and PHP in general are both pretty hostile to non-ASCII non-UTF-8 characters, which means that any posts using non-ASCII non-UTF-8 characters won't get ported over.
Also, starting immediately, user names with non-ASCII non-UTF-8 characters are going to get shit-canned.
So if you're using a character or characters in your handle that aren't on a standard US keyboard, or if you're using a character that's typically used in programming (such as a pipe or brackets), your account will probably disappear real soon. It's nothing personal, feel free to re-register, but don't use non-ASCII non-UTF-8 characters or your account will just get shit-canned again.
Based on my schedule the conversion and setup may take a few more weeks, but I expect to have everything done by the end of the year.

Aww snap it's the man himself.
I want it to look the same, no bullshit looking forums like they have nowadays. The temple has a specific style I like.
Thanks, Jeff! You rule! You're nearly better than me! I kid, I kid. You're awesome.

By not saying anything about the look and feel of the forums, I'm assuming that you're keeping TOTSE display and navigation exactly the same, except for new coding. I'm quite bored of the UBB myself, and I'm open to any new changes you want to make. Could you maybe give IMG tags another chance?
And just to let you know, awesome site, awesome forum, awesome everything. I don't know what I would do without TOTSE.

I hope there'll be NO avatars or signatures or any of that shit. Totse would be become just like any other forum and 75% of the users would leave. We want Totse to have the same design and same login process where you leave your username and password for every post. Having to login is a fucking pain in the ass. Totse is great how it is right now. KEEP IT THE SAME, JUST GET NEW SOFTWARE SO PEOPLE CAN'T NAMEHACK AND DO ALL THAT SHIT. That is all, Ol' Jeffie. Can we donate over paypal?

This robotrip is for jeff.
Do you have a regular account, so you can post without attention?

No avatars, and no signatures. IMG tags will be acceptable, with some limit to page stretching. I expect to see a helluva lot more shock images.
Please let us have a little more than just our name and Regular/Moderator underneath it. We don't need avatars or signatures, or post count or anything, but something would be nice. Like how we used to have the Location descriptor.

I wonder if Jeff ever feels sad because nobody actually takes time to chat with him. It's like with God, nobody takes time to say "So big guy, how was your day?". It's always "Help me with this, or give me that", and an occasional "please" and "thank you", but never any real conversation.

Underscores are perfectly legit. Pretty much anything you can type from the keyboard without using ALT-codes is cool.
As much as I hate change, this is for the better. Won't have threads eating themselves, and the mods will finally have stickies. Yay stickies! I wish my old DXM thread could see it now...
I'm all for keeping things stripped down and clean like they are now, too. I would like to see email links reinstated, as with those disabled there's no way to contact an individual, as "hey, you!" threads get killed rather quickly. I wouldn't mind a retro skin for those of us who still crave the black/blue/yellow look, either.

A change would be good, but not too big a change... I'm normally not a fan of vBulletin - how it looks, the 30000 different things it seems it can do. I like totse for its simplicity. And a PM system could be good, but knowing your average user here, it would probably be abused. Just keep an email slot in the profile - not everyone wants to be contacted, anyways.
Also, please, do not get rid of totse's current post icons and emoticons. I like these more than any others on any forum I've seen. http://www.totse.com/bbs/frown.gif (http://www.totse.com/bbs/frown.gif)

I agree with alot of posters in here, the style of the UBB is what makes the totse forums so characteristic, and I wouldnt like it to change, I dont know, its like if its part of us...
A good idea would be to renew everything but maintaining this old style.

As much as I hate change, this is for the better. Won't have threads eating themselves, and the mods will finally have stickies. Yay stickies! I wish my old DXM thread could see it now...
I'm all for keeping things stripped down and clean like they are now, too. I would like to see email links reinstated, as with those disabled there's no way to contact an individual, as "hey, you!" threads get killed rather quickly. I wouldn't mind a retro skin for those of us who still crave the black/blue/yellow look, either.

This is going to fucking suck. vBulletin sucks ASS.
Why didn't you just go with UBB.Threads? It is way better than most other forum software out there, and it would have the same UBB look. At least get something better than vBulletin. I will pay to have something better than vBulletin. In fact, I post on a lot of forums but none of them use vBulletin. Why? Because vBulleting fucking sucks.

Jeff Hunter,
Will mods be able to access any more tools for moderation or are we going to have the same basic overlay
As well are we going to to by chance ever get that SMTP server back up and running ?
That also being said i have noticed as has everyone else
A large amount of shit in ka-fuckin-boom that draws alot of negative attention to the site and promotes alot of stuff that is unsafe or potentially harmful to people
and this is very worrie some and for quite some time i have been trying to figure a way to hopefully clean it up or set some way of screening articles with out the whole sensor ship issue
Is there a way we can setup a small panel or some such thing so each corresponding article IE BB or BLTC gets dropped in a mailbox and is assessed and then Accepted or Dumped
this way we can be a slightly more respectable site and not one that promotes stupidity ?
i only wish to help if there is something more i can do to fix certain issues i would be glad
but my main focus is on the KFB section if we could resolve something that would be great
with what 4-5 loyal years service i have sufficient background to root through the crap that lies within
Anyways although my grammer is horrid i hope you truly do read this as that section has been a thorn in all of our paws since the dawn of time
Thanks for your consideration

If it turns out that it's necessary I'll make a thread in SG where everyone can ask to have it done with their account.
Hopefully everyone who wants to have it done sees it... I have exams coming up and I won't be on much in the next few weeks... and my schedule after that is terribly busy as well http://www.totse.com/bbs/frown.gif (http://www.totse.com/bbs/frown.gif).
