    Hmm, On the original BBS, the title was community, not TOTSE. And PM's will swamp the DB full of crap. Who is going to even get over 200 PM's. Its a little wierd to have a forum for porn though. The tread idea was nice.

    Actually the problem is we're trying to get some Google rank. Zoklet uses Zoklet.net and other sites use their names. Using TOTSE gets us better results on Google.

    The PM thing was temporary, I would marginally reduce them anyway. Btw My Pm box maxed out two times already lol.

    Check your PM, I found something we should install ASAP.

    Why search? I think having a code to search is fine.

    Visitors could search this site without Intervals. In other words someone could fuck us by searching the forums.


    Hot Topics Disabled.

    Again, these changes are here to prevent from this site going down again, until we fix the issues or upgrade to a better hosting solution.

    • New Site Developers forum added. Currently Mods/Admins/Super Mods can see it. New users will be allowed access to it. The forum will remain hidden because it deals with site information which we really don't want to go public :).
    • Infraction forum has been moved out of the M&A as a subforum of Help & Suggestions and Regular users will have access to it. ONLY REGULAR users can view it [except for mods or higher].
    • New Mods added.
    • A New Sub-forum will planned to be added in Arts and Design. The forum will be called Photography and We might add a second sub forum for videos [directing,filming etc[. But Photography forum is required.
    • New user group is created called Developers. Users in that group can access the Developer forum. The users will have same Regular user title and they're almost exactly the same as regulars.

    A lot happened. A complete log of it would be really hard but in the end, we switched completely.

    But I will mention that one issue has been resolved. The old linking issue is now fixed, this mean all totse.info links now actually work.
