And so ends the hunt for “something different.” I’ve found b2evolution to be just about the slickest thing ever – it does everything boastmachine was supposed to do, has a full backend (in several hours of getting things set up, I’ve not once opened up a shell window), looks and acts cleaner, and has options for expansion that I’ll be looking into for a side project I’m working on.

The casino ads are caused by a vulnerability within Boastmachine itself. The author’s only attempt at fixing the issue is either by forcing people to type in a code to make a post, or to edit some file every 3-4 days to filter out casino shit. Yeah right. So begins the hunt for something different.

Don’t upload porn. I’m serious. The rule of thumb here is going to be this: if I see nipples, weeners, or tacos, it’s deleted. I (and some other folks) look at that section at work and that’s about the last thing we need to be caught looking at.

Finally got the upload section ironed out. It’s amazing what knowing a few PHP commands will do for you!

As of 5:40 this afternoon the new layout is live on madpwnage.net. The entire site adheres to the XHTML 1.0 Strict specification set down by The World Wide Web Consortium and is powered by boastMachine 2.9b.

The upload directory is coming back shortly.

And yes, so is a logo for the upper left-hand corner.
