Request: Player TYpes Survey

I have no idea if this is on the level, a scam, spam, or something else, but I thought I'd pass it along. I mean, who wouldn't want a $15 Amazon gift certificate?

I get rid of them every day. Sometimes several times a day... I am using the built-in anti-spam features of phpBB 2.x. Unfortunately they weren't designed with today's spammers in mind. On the plus side, phpBB 3 is coming out real soon now. (They are in their 5th beta release right now.) I don't wan...

We've moved again. This time, barren.coredcs.com 8000 should keep working without any problems for almost everyone. We do have a new IP address though. The new IP is 68.72.3.38. If you are one of those unlucky souls that has to use IP addresses, you'll need to start using that one instead. This move...

I've gotten a report that at least one person is unable to get to BR using the new address. I really don't recommend using the IP address directly, since it may change in the future without much notice. But if you can't connect any other way, try connecting to 206.176.218.8 8000.

We've Moved!

We've moved to a different server. For the first time since, oh, sometime in the late 90s, we are no longer on CORE Digital's servers. Instead, we are running on my own colocated server. This should give us better performance, nightly archived backups, "unlimited" disk space, full control over our e...

It looks like Kiri had autoprune turned on for some forums. Chit-chat Room was set to automatically remove any threads that hadn't been posted to in 100 days. The Quest Headquarters were set to 30 days. How do people feel about this? Personally, I don't see any reason to be pruning the Chit-Chat room.

Here, I encourage you to use this like a BR question area, where you ask things you've always wondered. Ask me specific things and I will either answer you right away or try to get an answer for you. I think she did :P She is trying to get an answer for people. The way she is doing that is by dropp...

NEW ADDRESS FOR BR!!!

Attention! Please start using the following address for BR as soon as possible! barren.barrenrealmsmud.com 8000 At some point in the not-too-distant future the barren.coredcs.com address will break. If you start using the new one now, you won't notice anything when the change happens. It will always...

Welcome to the revamped forums. Here's the deal. I have done a complete reinstall of the latest stable version of phpBB and copied over the BR-specific stuff. This probably broke something that I didn't think of. If you spot a problem, let me know. We have switched themes. The woodgrain is gone fore...

This actually came as a huge surprise to me. I am not sure yet how this is going to happen. Kiri and I are just starting to work out the details. But I am not looking to make big changes. In fact, I am going to try and change as little as possible in the beginning. If you have questions or concerns,...
