GP Update on Forums, RSS, Format, LJ Archives etc...

October 2, 2006
GP is pushing ahead on our new look. Here's what's new:

 We've imported the old (LiveJournal) site's August, 2006 articles into the new Wordpress format; tweaking a few formatting issues here (mainly the fact that apostrophes generate some really weird character strings) and updating links for some photos.

Meanwhile, all of GP's articles (with comments) from the LiveJournal days are - and will remain - available from sidebar links. You can get your LJ fix either through a calendar view or by usings a tag search. When you use the tag search link, a scrollable list of tags pops up. Alternately, you can add the tag you want to search with by adding it to the end of the URL that the tag search link generates. For example, here's one for Louisiana in case you were researching that state's video game legislation.

LiveJournal die-hards can still get an RSS feed of the new GP articles (sadly, sans comments) directly into their LJs using this link. Thanks to the numerous LJ GP'ers who sent that along.

For those who are using RSS without LJ, here are RSS feed links for GP news and GP comments

Forums: the new GP Forums should re-open later today or this evening. They are up and running, but I've got them closed to posting while I do some maintenance. I left the door open Saturday night while fixing up and several users slipped in and had a time! You'll need to re-register if you were a member before. However, I have a list of user names & associated e-mails addresses, so I'll be able to resolve any issues over user names.

Law Library: added several juicy legal rulings to the Law Library for you to read, with more to come.

..you don't mean you deleted everything again.. do you?
I think he does KN...

Anyway, WHOOO! FORUMS!

BTW GP, how is registration for the articles coming?
WE MUST REVIVE OUR THREADS! REVIVE OUR FORUM!

WE WILL TAKE IT BACK!

CAPITAL LETTERS MAKE THIS POST LOOK IMPORTANT!
I concur with the above post.
There is obviously no sane choice but to repeate every post, including the historic first image.
...Even the dreaded gun's rights thread?
No no, I'm referring to when me and KN completely overtook the new forums when Dennis forgot to lock it. We were in the process of reviving the forums with the usual stickies and discussions. But then Dennis found out. Then he locked it. Then he moved the forums.
OIC
Worry not, for I have an screenshot of the first thread, and the contents of some of the first page of it. TREASURE IT:

*Appears from the abyss that is full of lurk and work*

Enjoy your ban.

*Goes back into they abyss*
I think the top banner image of this site needs to be a link to the main frontpage of GP.com.
That's appearantly a weeee bit hard if you don't know your way around the files that comprise Wordpress.

I don't know why this isn't a standard feature =/
Forums is teh bax.

w00t.
QUICKLY! EVERYONE TO THE FORUMS!
If you have loved ones or friends that have survived breast cancer, it
OMG SOUNDS LEIK A GOOD DEAL AM I RIGHT?!?! LOLOLLOLOLLOL!

GoodRobotUs: You mean Garriot's body has gone to meet his mind? ;)

Tao2001: He's not as grounded as he used to be?

Matthew: So we can legitimately say that Lord British is a loony now? Or at least a space cadet?

gamepolitics: chuma, yes. we have covered previews of him going at least twice, but it deserves a mention
Posted 10/12/08 at 07:35am
Chuma: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/7664963.stm
Posted 10/12/08 at 07:34am
Chuma: Oh, and Dennis? Richard Garriott flys into space. Worth a mention on the site methinks?
Posted 10/12/08 at 07:33am
Chuma: To be honest, I'm waiting for him to overstep the mark and either do something illegal or get sued. It'll be hillarious.

Michael Chandra: ezbiker555: Rather than not having proved, wasn't it that they sort of proved there weren't any games involved at all?
Posted 10/12/08 at 06:21am
Tao2001: I think the whole "don't feed the animals" boat has sailed. He'll be an attention whore no matter what.
Posted 10/12/08 at 06:16am
King of Fiji: @Leet Gamer Jargon: No offense but isn't feeding an attention whore like Jack Thompson something one shouldn't be doing ?
Posted 10/12/08 at 04:38am
Leet Gamer Jargon: Yay! Jack's back! I can laugh (at him) again!

PHOENIXZERO: Twice my comments on the JT/Palin story have gone MIA, what's up with that?
