Don't shoot the messenger

Postby Themis » Sat 26 Jan, 2019 13:18

It is with great sadness that I have to report the demise of our dear friend, Rep Button.
You will know he was taken away and has been worked on intensively, but alas, his time had come, and he could not be saved.
This will of course be a sad blow to the community, especially those to whom Rep was an integral part of their life.

Dr Zaman and his team laboured mightily but sadly

We have been struggling to try and keep this on the new phpBB version, but it's just not compatible and a security risk, so we have to disable it completely. It was really just a matter of time till this happened since the people who developed the reputation mod stop working on it a long time ago... Sorry guys. :wall:


In memory of Rep, you are invited to send one ft, :paranoid: I mean share your recollection of Rep's greatest moments in this, his memorial thread.

He will be missed

Oh do keep up :roll:
They had to update the forum software. The rep add-on was causing hiccups with the new set up, so it's been temporarily switched off while they fix it (probably after the end of the debauchery season). I am told it will be back.

What about open outsourcing?

Alot of games actually let their more tech minded fans contribute something towards the game, and it's obvious Wizards coding abilities aren't the best.

If someones willing to get the plugin back up and working surely Wizard couldn't say no to someone taking a workload off his hands and not even for profit?

What can I do to you that life hasn't already?

I guess I will never be defeated as the reigning rep whore of the forums. Now if you'll excuse me, I must begin preparations for my ritual suicide.

I spent a while searching trying to find a picture of the rep button but couldn't find one so had to do the best I could do come up with what it looked like from memory. If anyone does have a picture of the rep button let me know and I will correct the meme unless you desire to do it for me :)

I LOL'ed. I would rep you but... well, you know. :D

I hope someone kept a database of what people had as their reputation before it disappeared, and if it does get fixed it can be restored. Not that that would affect me much.

This is an outrage I would have passed Winchester and he knows it.

AE will die faster if forums die. (Or when i leave)
Bring reps back..
