Let it be known that David F Murray is awesome

One day, I'll explain why.

Tecmo Player Map

There are a lot of people out there who often times make you sign up to get the good stuff on their site.  I find this to be utterly pointless which is why I don't make people do that for my download section.  On the flip side, there are often times people who lurk on your site that do not have a compelling reason to create an account.  Finally, I have that actual compelling reason.

The Perils of Conversing

Please be aware that the following conversation could

1.  Make your head explode.
2.  Give you syphilis
3.  Create temporary blindness.

I thought about commenting on the conversation, but halfway through I blacked out, busted open my skull, and woke up in a pool of blood.  Thus, loyal reader, you are on your own.  Enjoy?

OH SHIT!!! NOT AGAIN!!! ugly2.gif ugly2.gif

The owner of NeonTecmoClearWorld.us.affiliation is a little sore at me for asking a league to move to Puretecmo.com

One month ago, I would have responded to his inane ramblings at least 5 times by now.
I mean, look at this statement:

Angry Message board owner:  The difference about MTL moving to TW from PT was zach asked me I have never approached anyone about moving a league from a different board to TW. I find it very bush league and you have openly admitted to having done this more than once now. 

I guess I mistook the peace agreement. It's only intended on the message boards. One can still lie and manipulate and be underhanded. You go ahead and keep being that guy.

If not pointing out the fact that he just called me a proverbial "Jumbo Shrimp" on that board isn't change, then I don't know what is.




The MeatSpin Tecmo League

The funny thing is that said owner doesn't really care for the "MeatSpin" Tecmo League at all.
In fact, it's the moderation or constant threat of moderation that was the main reason for it to move BACK in the first place.

This is a classic example of why two league message boards are necessary:  It's extremely tough for a message board that runs something that is competitive by nature to cater to everyone.  If there were not a Puretecmo and a NeonTecmoClearWorld, someone would eventually create the other one at some point.

Face Lift Part II and WORLD PEACE

One thing a guy has to realize is that changing the way a site is laid out can have some big side effects.
One thing I can do with Joomla is take a site and basically put the header over the top.  This way a guy doesn't have to worry about navigation/integration, it just works out for you.  However, phpBB already comes with a header and you either need to mod this thing or chop it off.  Here we just chop it off and integrate it under Joomla

Pretty Awesome!!!!!

However, 3 big problems

1.  The cost of this power is completely re-writing the URL for the board.  This means that while the old links would re-direct properly, any new ones would be dependent on always having Joomla.  That puts baby in a corner.

2.  You need to not only generate the phpBB stuff, but also the Joomla stuff.  That's a heck of a lot more processing.

3.  This completely kills a mobile theme

Thus, the solution is making a header that looks like Joomla.  While you fix all those problems, you are then left with having to update your links twice every time you change the layout.  Thus, hopefully I don't change shit around all the time.

Finally, peace on earth.

I finally received my answer 4 months later

Peace was brokered

Given all I was looking for was an answer and to not be over-moderated, looks like I hit the jackpot.
