Hey Guys,

Well now that most of the usergroup issues have been solved I am sure you are all happy to be able to post your ads once again. Hopefully going forward we will have no further issues with this and no one will ever need to contact me again :)! Okay, so what else is going on here, well I have been trying to keep myself active on here while maintaining a pretty hectic schedule. Between running my own companies, gaming community, projects (gcpanel), and women (which can be a full-time job in it's own right) I have very little time to do the things I want to do with GSPTruth. I ask that you all please bear with me and my slow responses to your messages. Sometimes I will read them and hop offline to do something else. I promise you all I am in no way ignoring you if I do not respond immediately (same goes for AIM).

So what's next? Good question, as many of you know I am trying to build GSPTruth into more of a review focused community where users (your customers) can come online and rate your services. The problem with a venture like this is that you need a good solid system in place to properly moderate and ensure the reviews you are getting are valid. I am still working out ways to make it easy for me to validate those reviews so it doesn't turn into one giant sponsorship spam-fest or companies asking friends to post reviews.

So as of right now I am waiting on a new release of the review system I plan to use as our base. We will be customizing it to fit our needs as we move forward. Once I have that I will begin the design phase (once again) and begin creating a new look for GSPTruth. And I am sure you are asking...what will happen to the forums? Nothing at all. They will be here to help promote the community. It will be double work moderating both parts of the site, but in the end it will be a great community based review site. I hope to turn this website into a rich source of knowledge for future Game Server Providers and potential customers looking for a various services.

Any feedback, questions, comments can be posted in this thread and I will answer them when I have a chance to.

Hey Guys,

Took me all day, but finally found a way to mass change all of you service providers. You should now be in the usergroup that will allow you access to the Advertising forums. If you still lack access, all you need to do is edit your profile and under the "Service Provider" section choose 'Yes'.

*Note: The cron will run every half hour. Do not message me asking to move you, wait it out.

Lastly, many of you should have noticed that your signatures are missing "OH NO", that's because I reset them all. Why? Well, quite a few people were using what I would call "colorful" or "distracting" signatures. I have locked many of the colors (if not all) and limited your signature to 4 lines. You also have 2 links guys, no more than that. You cannot change your size either!

Complain if you want, it will never change. Get a nice professional looking signature.

Hey Folks,

Please do not take it as me not answering your PM's, I am here and I am getting them, but I am looking for a much easier solution to this. I am looking for an easy way to adjust usergroup permissions for users through their profile choices. Which will mean that users will not have to wait for me to add them, and simply specify that they wish to sell services.

I will keep you posted on my progress to complete such a program. If you were in the path of the blizzard that hit us (and some twice), hope you enjoyed the snow ;).

Regards,
John

Hey Guys,

So I upgraded vBulletin to the latest version and there are some quirks I am sure you will all notice. But for the most part the forums is operating normally. I invite everyone to submit bug reports or problems they have while using the forums.

Onto the ads. If you have an ad campaign with us, please re-send your ads. We had to ditch the old ads system, but the best part of this is that the new ad system is, well, better :). You will get ad reports every 7 days emailed to you. So if you are interested in opening a campaign, please visit:

Thanks guys,
Enjoy!

Hey Guys,

Just wanted to make an announcement about my latest project. I have been working with a close friend to develop a new linux-based game server control panel. There are quite a few out there, none I really like so I decided to put my ideas and design abilities together to develop something new. It is in it's very early stages but we are moving along very nicely. If you would like to leave your suggestions for features or discuss this more, head over there via the link below. Thank guys for your support!
