I like Toto, that's my favourite Italian name after watching Il capo dei capi on tv. He just says "Allora!" and kills people. Can we call you Toto?Quote:

Of course, that was before our Henry passed and you didn't see so many darkies then.Quote:

This is what I mean by open source:I looked up SMF and got this definition:Quote:
Open-source software (OSS) is computer software with its source code made available with a license in which the copyright holder provides the rights to study, change, and distribute the software to anyone and for any purpose. Open-source software may be developed in a collaborative public manner.
That sounds good to me bc I consider myself to be a novice. But obviously, the code would have to be installed by a very senior programmer to make sure the code is desirable, according to TD's requirements, and clean.Quote:
Simple Machines Forum software, or SMF software, is an open source, Internet forum, message-board program developed by Simple Machines. The name reflects the communities' initial goal of providing a program that could be operated by novice programmers and require minimal server resources.

I still don't see how you inferred any sarcasm in my two posts to you but let's move beyond that. What would be the benefit to you, I or the other members of changing the forum software to "open source"? How, in your opinion, would it improve Teakdoor? [I ask because it is not clear from any of your posts in this thread. No sarcasm implied or desired.]Quote:

I think it's a pretty good and improved forum now that marmite got chased out and the tough guy with little head went up to become pollution.
I thought Thetyim to be a decent mod. Anyone know of why he vacated?

Departed and never returned.
Still residing here, I believe.

A mini-hitler. It was embarrassing when TFP got locked out of his account and the BS that Twatyim put him through.....

Good points or bad, it makes fuck all difference because, as has already been pointed out, the admin couldn't give a toss.
The slide into senescence has been clear for years and is almost certainly irreversible at this late stage. All that remains now is to make sure that the care assistant wipes the forum's arse once in a while and then, well, just wait for the inevitable.
You have inside knowledge? The way you lot are bitching would, if I was the owner, cause me to fcuk the forum off. Is it really worth the hassle? :confused:Quote:

There's no maintenance now and no effort goes into sustaining the forum (and whether or not you liked him, DD put a huge effort into curating the place) - it's just a matter of paying the server fees, which are low and getting lower all the time. Does it matter, though? No, not especially. It's hardly keeping me up at night, but it's still a bit of a shame.

Now, why would they want to do that? To install changes to the code so that some of the good suggestions on this thread, or others not thought of yet, could be implemented. Now I think there should be a quorum of all members (those with at least more than 100 posts) who vote on what the new change would be: up or down. Make sense? ;)
I understand what you mean now, wjb.
OK. Do you agree in principal?
Do you mean everybody should have access to tweak the software as they like?

i don't know how other open source projects work, when it comes to security. I think everybody can download the code but there will be some kind of restrictions or supervision in place as far as uploading and installing anything.Quote:

However, changes can be made to the software using mods (modifications). See here:

The new repo system of gold stars/cabbages is such a modification (albeit an old one). I expect forum owners can also modify their own sites as they wish. It is up to the owner/s to take that responsibility and risk. Personally, I doubt there is anything needed by TD that isn't already available as an approved mod.
