Our souls with high music ringing; O men! It must ever be
That we dwell in our dreaming and singing, A little apart from ye. (Arthur O'Shaughnessy 1873.)

Yay! MarinaBreak is finally on the DB! Thanks!

I don't speak as good as I write, and I don't listen as good as I speak.

Actually, MarinaBreak has been on the db since July, it's just that with moving house etc  not had time to do enough updates to make it worth writing a news item about things.
I also want to write up a separate page for the English version of Bokurano Daiboukenn 3 with links to the translation, but I thought it'd be best to get the news out asap.

I also have to apologise retrospectively to Freeman69, since I said I'd get the entry for Echo Quadrant done months ago and didn't.

As usual the db is very much a work in progress and there is still looooooooads to add, though hopefully now I can be a little more regular about doing stuff.

hi, why has the system about restricting accounts been added?

I used to be a knee like you, then I took an adventurer in the arrow.

2017-10-18 18:52:20

Because we were getting half a tonne of spambots registering but now the spam is cut to nothing.
The only current problem with the system is that only myself, Sander or Richard can remove the restriction from new accounts, which has meant some people have had more of a wait than I would have liked.

With spam bots being as persistent as they are, plus their ability to bypass captchas, I'm in favor of a registration system that has a human to intercept and send them packing. Sure it means more work for the site admins, but vetting new members is probably less work than cleaning up the messes spam bots tend to leave in their tracks.

hi has crazy party been updated i've beta51. any updates to pragma's awesome crazy party game?

2017-10-23 12:09:25

51 is the latest version of crazy party , however since I have been moving house and it's been a while since I posted my update log it also listed the update of the download link in the db from 48 to 49, as well as the more recent one to 51.

either way, 51 is the current latest version and the db page has the link to download it.
