New Forum

New forum, new era and a new platform. Start fresh. Personally, I can't stand phpbb that much and as I'm funding the new era I wanted to go with something different, something that I can modify as I want and that can get in the features that I've read over the years that people want - and more importantly it's meant to be more stable than phpbb!

I'll add a new features part up later on, but one will be the ability to give a post a thumbs up or down, so you can say whether you like someones post or not. Once I add the list, feel free to add if there's anything you'd like to see added to the forum.

There's also an RSS feed for the forum as well 🙂

Still working on the default theme. Once complete, I will work on a secondary darker one for those who don't like the light. Got to get the default one sorted first though.

Any problems with the site, please let me know and I'll get it fixed asap. Although I'd hope that there won't be any problems that need fixing. Already have the hang of this forum, and you'll notice that the first thing I've done is to add in a feature when registering to stop spambots. Took me a good half hour messing with the core files to get that working... anyone would think that you're not meant to mess about with core files 🙂

Hope you all enjoy it though!

Is it possible to make certain people moderators of certain forums (I'm thinking mainly for our GM Game).

Good job though benjawi. Everything looks pretty good.

I've had a look and it's easy to add a person as a moderator of selected forums. Would take all of 2 seconds.

Cool. Also I'm having trouble posting a signature image. I tried the code the forum gives but it didn't work.

I haven't actually looked at that, I'll have a look at it now.

Try it now. The default is set to no for signature images. This is due to broadband load. I've enabled it, but what I might do is set some variables for it so that images are set to not exceed a certain width and height and a rule of one image per signature.

So this is why the other forum was dead the past week... i didn't notice the link on the other boards until a few minutes ago.

anyways it looks good here seems like it has some potential.

can i have my old global mod position back when the time comes up for it? i know it's not like we need much help here now but i enjoyed doing a few simple things that i did often. thanks 🙂

so yeah i'm so glad that 4w is still rising up from the ashes since last fall.

It wouldn't be 4W without you being a mod Snake. I'll set it up. Now go get as many people to sign back up as you can  😄

Why thank you my good sir.

That was pretty fast too i saw this the other day but i was in a hurry so i didn't have a chance to respond.

Good to see 4w is rising from the ashes once more... it always will so long as the core of our group remains which it has.

I don't want to be the guy is difficult and whining... but we really need more talk here. every topic outside of the GM and 4cw or whatever have jack shit going for them all have like 1-4 threads tops... there really isn't much reason to even stop here.

So i think we need to get more stuff going.. i suppose it doesn't help much with culture differences as i believe the majority of you guys here are on the otherside of the pond so much of the stuff i really don't get and i'm sure other westerns don't either.

i know i'm not exactly much of thread starter outside of video games.. but it's my thing

again i don't want to bitch and moan.. but lets try or is everyone starting to move onto other places?

We've got like 18 people that came over from the other forums. At this point, I think everyone here is just waiting for everyone else to do or say something, because there's really about zero interest shown and no one wants to be that guy who gets stuck trying and fails. It sucks, and it'd be awesome if we could get the old 4w-wrestling.com address back because at least people knew about that, but at this point I doubt it would even matter.

I guess move on and see what greener pastures there are, but hang around just in case.

Can't accept that. This (the old boards years ago) used to be great. I don't even like forums but couldn't keep away.


I'm even willing to pay cash bonuses to whoever reaches 500 and 1000 posts (without spam, I can't bring myself to pay for spam) for £5 and £10 respectively.


I have a bit more work to do on the boards and some advertising, but I can't do that until the weekend as I'm seeing Iron Man 3 tonight after work, and then tomorrow after work I have to entertain guests... before going to see Iron Man 3 again :-)


It would be helpful if everyone else could do anything necessary to advertise this place to get people here.

Sir Wolfie, you make good sense.

also i wasn't meaning i'm moving on i was wondering if many others were though.

I'll try and spread some word about this place to anyone who hasn't found this place yet.

Hello yet again, folks. So many re-incarnations of this site. Feels very much just a part of my past (a big part), but still... good ol' 4W eh? I still keep it bookmarked and lurk one in a blue moon.

Cheers, to old friends.

Edit - re-posted to include avatar.

Second edit - why doesn't it display? O_o It displays on the sidebar thing that says 'welcome back'. Odd. On a somewhat related note, I actually liked the BB3 layout over-all.

Might have to make a whole new post rather than edit.

Almost God like? Maybe...

Thought I'd drop in and have a look around.  Seems a lot quieter than the old boards, but I suppose that's to be expected.

Hope it picks up as I used to love 4W.  Going to add the site to my toolbar and check in, might be up for a little 4CW as well, if anything is happening there.

If you're using the default skin or the Dark Victory version, you now have social media buttons on the side bar. Get using them to help get the forum out there.
