Forum Registration Disabled
Author: Duke | 
Due to abuse by spam bots we've been forced to temporarily disable the new user registration system within our forums. Unfortunately phpbb3 isn't all that well equipped to keep bots and nefarious users from registering so tightening things up will require the addition of a few anti-spam mods.
Unfortunately I haven't really worked with phpbb3 all that much so there will be a bit of a learning curve associated with installing said mods as I'm quite sure there will be template edits required which I'm also new to with phpbb3.
If you do wish to register however you can simply use the "Contact Us" form at Lifesupporters.com and indicate the following:
- Username
- Preferred e-mail
- Reason for registering (this is a filter to ensure you're not a spammer).
...and I will register you manually then e-mail you your login details.
My apologies to all of you legitimate users but when you're online most of it is structured the way it is due to the spammers and nefarious idiots all over the web.

Dropping Support for IE 6 - Author: Duke |
Even though the final aesthetic touches are now being applied both to the main page of fragtard and the forums, issues still remain with Internet Explorer (all versions) with the worst performance being in IE 6 and previous versions. I'm still working toward getting the full site running well in IE but only for later versions of IE (7+), all previous versions will now be ignored. The reason for this is quite simple really given our target audience is primarily focused on gamers who usually keep on top of both hardware and software upgrades. Of course even if you don't have the latest versions of IE you can still view the site as it's intended by either downloading/installing Mozilla Firefox or Opera. |
Fragtard.net is now up and running. Author: Duke |
It's been a bit of work but now I think we're to the point where it's time to officially open up and welcome you all to the new site. Even though the forums are now online some issues still remain as you can see in our Theme Issues Topic. Of course these are the issues that I'm aware of so if you run into something that I've missed, please post it. Now the real work begins because building a gaming site that stands out amongst the thousands of other gaming sites online is no easy task. This is why we're asking for your suggestions on how we can cater Fragtard.net more to your tastes. What I'm hoping to create here is not so much an online gaming community but more of an online home for gamers. As with Lifesupporters.com, Fragtard.net will be a community built by it's audience because I truly believe it's you that brings the soul to the community, I only offer a body. It is this thinking that has made Lifesupporters.com one of the friendliest and supportive sites online and I feel the recipe to the success of Fragtard.net. Should you have any insight or simply a question, comment or concern, please post it in our Suggestion Box Forum.
