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.
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.
Don't worry, I will restore the functionality. Lets hope everything works out.
Marketing Forum has a mod and it no longer shows in the New Post page.
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.
Holy fucking crap Dfg, good job on this! You know it's been bugging the crap out of me for months, expect to see a lot of additional hits from all the backlinking we did
