First, if the server cost were covered, then we would have no ads. Second, the ads can generate up to $140 a month, from my experience on other sites. This one hasn't reached that, and I am experimenting which companies pay out more. Compare this site to others, and you tell me which look more cluttered, I am not using ANY pop-unders, only simple ad banners. One up top and one down below... If you want to pay the $120/ month server bill, let me know and I’d be happy to remove all ads, and you can become an admin. 

"Clicksor" was just added today, so I doubt its the cause. If you are still having problems, I would say its either the GoogleAds, which I don't think are causing it. I have not problems, with it, on any of the skins. However if you are seeing the 403 error, then thats your computer blocking the google ads, which is fine, but may be causing your own problem.

I prefer IBM's drives; they tend to have a 3-5yr warranty, nice speeds, and cache. This server use to run off two 80 GB drives in a raid. I would also recommend getting the extra PCI-SATA card for the little extra cost, you should notice a difference. PM me if you have other questions. Nice to see you around.

Lol, ok... ¿

hitting f5 doesn't change the unique visitor count. That number is based on individual users. If you visit the site daily, you still count only as +1 a month to that number. I realize those pages are becoming dated, however where should i send them all?

The only reason the main page is still there is because there is some type of demand for it somehow. It got 17,000+ unique visitors last month, and nearly 100,000 page views. That some pretty decent traffic.

Spy Bot S&F and ad-aware is must haves. FireFox v1.5 is out so make sure you have that. I would set firefox as your default browser. Changing defult browsers will tell if its on your PC too. If it continues to pop stuff up, then its a bit worse. Also, when using spybot and ad aware, make sure you do the updates, reboot, hit F8 when computer is booting up BEFORE you see the windows XP Screen. and choose safemode. and do the scan in safemode, so that it can get rid of anything thats normally active in a normal boot.

I agree, however, its not costing anymore to leave it up. It actually gets about 15k individual visits a month, and almost 100k page views a month.

Flood Control is set for 30 seconds, and you guys are complaining? What do you have, multiple monitors and sessions, just trying to increase post counts? lol, Maybe post counts will be "hidden" or something in the future if thats the case.

When you edit your post, its set to give you the option to "tell the world"... Merge member's concurrent posts When a member posts twice within n minutes, once after the other in a topic they will be merged into one post. Enter the number of minutes to capture concurrent posts. Is re-enabled @ 3 minutes. How is that? or is 1-2 better? I know some topics are rather quick, and don't want to merge the topic into grouped by posters.

The only reason I left the skins on the forums visibly, was so people don't wonder what happened so quickly. If i would have removed them, I would have a lot of complaints about lack of skins. So now you get to see them broken, if they are, I believe most are unfortunately.

Is the combined post a bad thing? I didn't even notice it.

Try removing them and re-adding them. If you still have issues, PM me.

Once things get rolling, I am sure there is a skin out there to disable the new interface and make things older.

The blog feature is still here, for some reason, on the new skin the link is not showing up in the top right.

I'll take that as a joke. Its called an upgrade. What boxes are you talking about if you are serious?

Ok, well the upgrade went pretty smoothly after doing a test with our very large database. However it seems that the blogs button in the top right isn't there, and there are a few other issues in the background currently still to be resolved. Skins aside from the v2.1 skin, may have problems as well. Try using the v2.1 skin to correct these, until the skins are updated. Mike - TSM Owner & Server Manager

Come on guys, this is the site feedback folder. Not an argument folder... If you want I will move it to HD or somewhere then you can argue.

Thanks, for some reason, the sessions table became corrupt. All is fixed now.

Seriously, screw xbox live, get XBConnect or one of the many FREE alternatives, that works better, because it creates a connection between you and the other team, no server in between such as Microsoft's sucky ones.

The forum software upgrade should address this.

Aim Chat? Let me know when you guys want to discuss things and when.

I would agree with the Floppy Drive, man I miss those suckers. They were always reliable, maybe not the fastest or shiniest, but never failed.

It’s a sign of respect, not matter how many times others have done it. Just because wal-mart has Katrina relief funds, doesn't mean your local hair cutting place shouldn't. This site will never forget its original roots in wrestling, as you can never forget your past 100%, not matter how much you like it or hate it.

This week I am planning on doing the upgrade, the exact time/day will probably be announced later. Right off the bat, we will lose the extra skins, but they should come back shortly. There may also be intermittent down time which I perform other database maintenance before the upgrade.
