716BBS.com Today's Date: Time: Established May 2000. You are visitor # 11039 716BBS.com News March posted by AMPro - posted on Mar 3, 2003 - post #000027 Time is Marching on... and time... is still Marching on. Hey. Been very busy for me lately, but I have had a little time for programming lately. Made a few modest improvements to the board software that aren't even worth mentioning. Have a few major improvements in mind that keep edging closer to the top of my to do list. Other than that, not much new. Feb 2003 posted by AMPro - posted on Feb 1, 2003 - post #000026 Hello. It's February. Not really much news on the board other than people have started using it again. That's been nice. There have been something like 10,300 visitors to the site's homepage and 2,340 posts to the message boards. I should start writing stats programs to calculate the posts automatically instead of adding them by hand. Add that to my list of a gazillion things to do. Well, welcome. Glad to see you're still here. Tell us what's going on with yourself and all that. Head to the nostalgia board and remind us of some old stories that we've forgotten or something like that. Yeah, tell us a story. (Mikey didn't even have to bother me to write this this time. Yay!) 10,000 posted by AMPro - posted on Jan 7, 2003 - post #000025 Hey, we just went past 10,000 visitors. It took a few years but that's still pretty good I guess. The activity seems to have picked up lately (thanks to Unicornz, thanks Ang :) Happy posting people. Happy New Year... posted by AMPro - posted on Jan 1, 2003 - post #000024 Yah. Okay. So once again ChainMikey's been after me to write something here. I had been waiting until I had something to announce but time to work on this site just seems to get more and more scarce. So instead I'll just wish everyone a Happy New Year. Hope you're all doing well in your endeavors and thanks for stopping by and keeping in touch. May Peace be with you (seriously) -AM Congratulations DRAKE! posted by AMPro - posted on Mar 10, 2002 - post #000023 Well, it has been a very long time since I've written one of these. Pardon the delay. The very first order of business is: CONGRATULATIONS TO DRAKE, WINNER OF THE 716BBS.COM 1,000th POST CONTEST. Hope that $100.00 comes in handy bro. And congratulations to Koz also who will be receiving $20 for posting the actual 1,000th post. Now maybe we can get some posts going in the other message bases. :) Also, everyone please welcome Jim, The Central Scrutinizer, as the newest employee of AMProSoft. So far he has been a tremendous help in getting http://www.Where2GoOnline.com running more smoothly. A very big public thanks homie. And last but perhaps most, 716BBS.com has an ALL NEW LOOK. Drop in and have a look at it and tell me what you think of the new graphics. No Chainsaw, I haven't forgotten that I promised to animate something for you. For posterity, 716BBS has recently passed 7200 visitors to the front page (please enter via the starting page), and has recently passed 1,750 posts to our message boards. Groovy. - There have been lots of requests to reactivate the live chat. Lots of people like to pop into our live chat and pick on it for never having any live chat. Well up your nose with a rubber hose. I've tried setting a time that people could agree upon but there is a lot of disagreement. So what I've decided to do is just make a general "Chat Hour". A lot of the posts on the board come after midnight so I have decided to make midnight to 1am a chat hour. Hopefully that doesn't interfere with Mr. M'Monin's tv schedule. :) I will try to make it to 3 or 4 chats a week and stick around even if no one is there, so it can be like a thing where if you think of it and your not doing anything between 12 and 1 you can just drop by and see if anyone is around to chat. Of course if this time is inconvenient for folks I have no problem with anyone who wants to organize thier own chat in the chatroom. A lot of new stuff. posted by AMPro - posted on Dec 13, 2001 - post #000022 First and foremost we have three more new message bases all of which are off to a nice start. We have "The Book Nook" for discussing the books you've read, the ones you're reading or would like to read and your thoughts on reading in general. We have "The Artists Loft" for drawing cool pictures for anyone who's been missing those ascii art subs. And we have a new "Sports Sub" for those who like to talk about point guards and penalties. Secondly, YOU have a chance to WIN $100.00 from AMProSoft and 716BBS. Just click the button on the right side of the board that explains all of the contest details. Good luck to everyone. Also, since I last wrote there were lots of problems with the Poetry sub which have subsequently been fixed. Thanks Mr. Chainsaw for the help in troubleshooting. If you're poetically inclined the Poetry Sub is working again and ready for your artistry. For posterity, 716BBS has recently passed 5800 visitors to the front page (please enter via the starting page), and is about to surpass 1,300 posts to our message boards. Groovy. Peace Peeps. October posted by AMPro - posted on Oct 31, 2001 - post #000021 Wow. It's been quite a month. Firstly let me say (00MHappy Hallowe'enM00) During the month of October 716BBS cruised past 5,000 visitors. Yay! We got to more than 1,000 posts. Yay! With a lot of help from the increasingly popular current events board. We got a couple new and improved versions of the Message Board program, and started to have fun with the pictures and all that. Even had an event for the first time in ages. All in all I'd say it was a great month! Thank you. Peace Peeps. 2.05 is ALIVE! posted by AMProSoft - posted on Oct 18, 2001 - post #000020 Hey, I've just put up the beta version 2.05 of my Message Board script. You'll see that I've been quite busy. First and foremost I'd like to thank my buddy Chainsaw for suggestion the preview button feature. That's a BIG improvement. Now you can see how your post will look before you post it and you can see if you messed up the codes or not. BUT There's no reason to mess up the codes any more because now the software puts the codes in for you. If you never could figure out how people were doing the colors and big letters and stuff, now it's super simple to figure out. You just click a button and it's done for you. Speaking of colors, there's a whole color pallete in there now too so you can get as goofy and colorful as you like. It's simple. AND Now there are even funky little icons like smileys and frowny faces and all that fun stuff. Lots of new features to enjoy. I'll convert the rest of the message boards over to the new script when I finish it. I still have more work to do on the SysOp side of the script but the user side is basically complete. Enjoy! Peace Peeps. It's finally here! posted by AMPro - posted on Oct 3, 2001 - post #000019 Woo Hoo! Version 2.02 of my message base script is finally complete. Lots of little bug fixes and feature updates. Most notable improvements: • There are now little check boxes on the lower left corner of posts. You can click inside the check box for as many posts as you like and then those posts will show up on the posting form when you go to post. That way you don't have to have two windows open or flip back and forth to remember what you were gonna post and who you were gonna respond to. • And, when you're responding to those people, there is now a Quote Code you can use to make a little quote box. The quote codes are (OOQ to open the box and QOO) to close the box. Try to always use correct matching (OOQs and Q00)s because otherwise it can make your posts look funny. I've found it makes a nice quote box if you next them and use the (OOM to center. For example: (OOQ (OOQ (OOM AMPro said: M00) Q00) This is what AMPro said OOQ) Then write your reply underneath it. If that's confusing don't worry I will explain it better when I write the updated help file next week sometime. Or try to anyway. ===================================================== Okay. It's finally BBS Event time too. Next Friday, October 12th at 8pm at the Higher Grounds Coffee House which is on the corner of Sheridan and Millersport we will meet up and watch MidiDerek's Band rock out. They are called Modern Art and they are quite good. See ya there. Peace Peeps. The coding madman strikes again... posted by AMPro - posted on Sep 26, 2001 - post #000018 Well I have been coding 'round the clock for about a week and a half now. As you can see from zooming around the site there have been a ton of updates and there are more to come. • There is now a Calendar script. No more out of date calendars for us. Now we have a working, automatic calendar as far out as the eyes can see. • There is now a gallery script and the galleries have been expanded quite a bit. About 4 times as many pictures as before, and they're categorized now. • Most notably though I've written a new message board script. This script is WAAAAAAAAAAY better than the old one. I don't have to go and archive the old posts by hand anymore it has a full archive searching system. You can search through old posts looking for a keyword or search a range of posts, you can have the message board list posts forward or backwards, and you can scan through the posts by titles only now to quickly hunt for a post you need to reread. Also, I've added another new code to the posting codes. It allows you to center things in your posts, it's the (OOM code. Enjoy it, it might be especially useful on the new poetry sub. • New Poetry Sub?!?!? But AMPro, you were talking about that like 8 months ago! Yeah well, what can I say, I was busy. But the new subs ARE in fact HERE! They're here now, and you can post on them. We have added a bunch more subs (Poetry, Current Events, Entertainment) and there are several more on the way. There's been a lot more activity on 716BBS these last couple weeks while I've been adding all this new stuff. Thanks for dropping in. Pardon all the dust from the remoddeling. Stop in the message boards and drop off some greetings, news & opinions. Peace Peeps! -/\
