Just been poking around. Take a look: http://web.archive.org/web/19970408111518/http://www.spidweb.com/index.html -- First (basic) http://web.archive.org/web/19990418002008/http://www.spidweb.com/index.html -- The second design at it's best http://web.archive.org/web/19991112030639/http://www.spidweb.com/index.html -- The third design, the design before now http://web.archive.org/web/20000229034134/http://www.spidweb.com/index.html -- Jeff tries to encourage people to use a longer domain..? http://web.archive.org/web/20000510042748/http://www.spidweb.com/ -- Site is back, but still no forums. http://web.archive.org/web/20010302022232/http://www.spidweb.com/ -- Still no forum. http://web.archive.org/web/20010402031314/http://spidweb.com/ -- Yaaay! The forums are here! Old Ikonboard nostalgia! http://web.archive.org/web/20020205081150/www.ironycentral.com/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi -- Spidweb switched to UBB. Somewhat ugly though. http://web.archive.org/web/20020523233131/http://spidweb.com/ -- The new design! And Jeff decided 'forums' was the better term.  http://web.archive.org/web/20021004065719/www.ironycentral.com/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi -- The forum starts to look a bit better. http://web.archive.org/web/20021209052808/www.ironycentral.com/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi -- Someone mucks around with the board's template. http://web.archive.org/web/20021209052808/www.ironycentral.com/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi -- Jeff is poked at to get working on BoA. http://web.archive.org/web/20030206212652/www.ironycentral.com/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi -- The forums look a lot nicer now. http://web.archive.org/web/20030519052001/http://www.spidweb.com/index.html -- The list is hacked. http://web.archive.org/web/20030602204817/www.ironycentral.com/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi -- And the forums on the same day. -------------------- Blades of Avernum Script Archive - Submit your script now!

I believe the domain change was a reaction to www.spidweb.com being briefly taken by squatters. -------------------- I'd be tender, I'd be gentle And awful sentimental Regarding love and art I'd be friends with the sparrows And the boy who shoots the arrows, If I only had a heart.

Are avatars even possible? They would definitely assist in jazzing things up a bit around here. I mean, now, it's just all kind-of...gray. Not to say we don't appreciate you, Drakey, of course!

they had avatars until *some* people started killing the load speed with gigantic avatars that took up half the page on 1024x768 resolution. -------------------- Urban wisdom is not actual wisdom.

Any decent forum has suitable image size controls. :rolleyes: Also, Ikonboard and the Third Design are when I just came to spidweb (first I remember). About a week later they switched to UBB. -------------------- Blades of Avernum Script Archive - Submit your script now! Posts: 612 | Registered: Saturday, October 13 2001 07:00 |

I miss avatars, and I loathe SW for taking them down for 'space reasons'. I mean, an img src only takes up a few bytes. -------------------- AnamaFreak (3:59:56 AM): Shounen-ai to the MAX ...there really is nothing that can compare to hot gay sex with a mythological icon. --665 Posts: 2367 | Registered: Friday, June 27 2003 07:00 |

It wasn't the problem with that, it was the problem with people hosting it on their computers with a 28.8k modem so the images couldn't load fast or at all sometimes. Then some browsers were (and still are) picky and refused to load the page until the avatar loaded. █Reality Corp.█ -------------------- ♫ The truth is screaming BIG ♫ ♫ A light so bright ♫ ♫ Whether day or night ♫ ♫ It can't be hid ♫ § realitycorp@gmail.com § ►► Chance is back online! ◄◄ Posts: 245 | Registered: Tuesday, February 17 2004 08:00 |

You can always turn off image loading in your browser. I see Spiderweb's point, although I think simply limiting the size of avatars to something reasonable would have worked well in most cases. Paterick's dragon avatar, anyone? ?Alorael, who also wanted to make his publically displayed name into ASCII art. Alas, he was not permitted enough characters to make anything entertaining.

WOW! I can see my long lost RP in the misc forum... Ahhh memory lane, I sucked at Rping then and i suck now... On the avatar note... I agree avatars give you that nice "I am ME" feeling, and i thinh the huge banners in the sig's were more of an issue. -------------------- Please visit the RP Paridise. rgf-network! The chance of someone looking at you is directly proportonal to the stupidity of your act. The idea is not to give your life for your country, but to make the other bastard die for his.

Couldn't we just use a list of acceptable avatars, like there was on the original board? (Sorry about the signature. Different monitor resolutions or something) (Though you have to admit, that was quite a word) -------------------- Always remember you're unique. Just like everyone else.

A set of acceptable avatars would have to be hosted onsite and would chew up bandwidth. So no. -------------------- I'd be tender, I'd be gentle And awful sentimental Regarding love and art I'd be friends with the sparrows And the boy who shoots the arrows, If I only had a heart.
