ya i read that post, but when i went to the site, it was still there. also in the post below it someone said it expired in 2005, so i thought the guy who said it expired dec 2004 was BSing or had read something wrong. today was first time i saw it was gone.

@ zasadar, its damn useful, thats why! na j\k, i mostly wanted one for a list of scripting functions. (of course thats assuming there would be one laugh.gif )

I don't know the entire story but the man maintaining the site must be really busy.

I don't run the site, nor can I take additional task to maintain or even create one. Xantium and HSDEMONZ has offered to host it under a subdomain on several occasions, but I know zilch on PHP, 'coz I'm an MS guy. Xantium suggested Php nuke, which I heard should be really good. I just haven't had the time to sit down and look at it. Anyway, if anyone is willing to donate their time and is very good with PHP, let me know. I don't need a flashy site, just something people can go to, as an alternative source of info.

i'm curious...why would it involve alot of PHP?  i mean what kinds of things would need to be on the site that couldn't be accomplished with plain ol' html?  i know there are things that would be nice to have on the site that would need to be done with php, but i can't think of many.

Well, that is quite true. I still need a good designer though, as my taste for graphics is not something I'm proud of. :lol:

my ability to conjure graphics is quite limited, but i'm rather fond of my own tastes smile.gif  of course, i doubt others are as fond of them laugh.gif

im sure anyone with moderate abilities could make a decent enough site for what it would be needed for, as said, nothing really too special, as most everything can be covered here on the boards,
it would mostly be stuff that is in the stickies and FAQs and stuff prolly.

nah the domain ran out. i gotta renew it tonite or tomorrow. holidays are rough for me at work because I kind of work in retail (custom a/v installation) and I literally work 7 days a week from november to january/feb.

Ive been thinking about just giving it up, I really dont have time to finish the site and maintain it (god only knows where Javienn has gone), and theres a huge starving community out there.

The new site design has been finished for months, but I think ive been trying to put too much functionality into it before the launch and have biten off more than I can chew. I have user account creation and panels working, skin feed from xbox-skins, a simple msging system, and some other shit.

If anyone here that is really GOOD with php (and has been around here for quite a while) I can turn over the site and domain. when I say good, I mean write apps from scratch, NOT "oh well I got this code from hotscripts.com and edited it with my name in it".

I take a LOT of pride in my work and refuse to give it up to just anyone that wants to just fuck around with the design and layout and guesswork at the coding to get it finished.

Any takers PM me with a damn good reason why you should take it over. Id really like to see my layout used, but I could care less about the existing php. its kind of sloppy but it works.

With that said, im going out on my only night off to get loaded.

I really think you are going too far out there for the website. A simple website with the features, some news, a link to these forums, and possibly some screenies is all you need. Oh yeah, the logo too and that's done. I mean, who are you competing against? Something like this would take what, a week?

i'll have to agree with isaac_24.  the messaging sounds very cool but very unneccessary.  we have these forums for that.  i'm assuming the messaging was the reason behind the user account creation, so that could go too.  the skin feed is a definite keeper.

i just wish we had a site that provided detailed documentation in a user-friendly manner that was also attractive and professional looking.

however, i think just doing this will take more than a week for someone that is gainfully employed and cares about the finished results.

god, i miss my edits

i started working on a guide for installing unleashx a while back.  it's intended to quell all the forum posts like 'How do i install unleashx?'  i need some help with the 'File Placement' and 'Accessing Your Old Dashboard' sections.  the help i need is that i don't know the path/filename of thclite in a typical installation of thclite.  i also plan on adding screenshots of the filemanager in the 'Accessing Your Old Dashboard' section.  any other helpfulness would be welcome.

Installing UnleashX

EDIT: perhaps after this guide has been pollished, it could be added to the new site?

EDIT2:  i also plan on making a document with this format/layout for each section of the control panel...detailing the options listed in that section; explaining what they do/affect.  finally, i'd like to make another document formatted like this that covers menu editing...simple editing from the dash and advanced editing from the config.xml...not to include batch-listing...that would be another guide.
