Hey hey hey everyone! I have finally given in and setup paged comments for the posts. Currently, they're set at 100 comments per page so that should make the Muhammed Caricatures page load much quicker. Please let me know if you find any problems and send me the page link that was corrupt.
Also, I have nearly completed the forums. They are located here. It is important to note that these are beta. It is also important to mention that you must be registered in order to post in the forums. This has been done for obvious reasons. I am looking for feedback at this moment more than anything else. I want to know how people feel about the topics and layout. Please take a peek and provide as much detailed feedback as you can in the comments here.
UPDATE:
- Fixed forum not displaying issue for now.
- Registration for forums is the same as the regular blog. So if you're registered for the blog then you are already registered for the forums.
- When registering, please make sure that the confirmation email doesn't get flagged as spam. Some users have reported not receivin their password upon registering, it is because it was flagged as spam by your email provider.
I wish everyone a great New Year and I eagerly look forward to 2007!

Yeah, 100 pages with posts that consist of of the same thing being being stated over again and again.
My Non-Existant-god,
Where are all our hindu posters at anyway?

Well I registered, but I didn’t recieve a email from both accounts I tried to register with (one being revlictherogue@gmail.com, the other theinfragablekrunk@gmail.com)Both didn’t send me a email with my password.
I dunno if you haven’t made it so people can access it yet or what.
In anycase, it looks good, id guess you might want to throw in Wicca, (because it’s always fun to make fun of kids who watched “The Craft” (Even though I do find Fairuza Balk pretty damn hot) Hindu, because even Apu can take a joke…and bullet.
Some other topics for the religion showcase
Atheism, “A=A and Ayn Rand is a cunt.”
Nihilism, “God is dead.”
Agnostics, “I’m not sure, and that makes me better then you.”
Satanism, “We were are looking for a few outstanding individuals.”
Wicca/Astaru, “Not just for goth kids anymore!”
Hindu, “1, 100, 100 million, who’s keeping track?”
Anyway, That’s all I can think of for now.

Revlic,
Please check that the emails aren’t been labeled as spam because that happens more often then not. I just did a check with a gmail account and the response mail got sent to my spam folder.

Heya Gasmonso,
Just signed up, email worked fine. Howver, I can’t access the threads. I can view your profile and your posts under the profile window, but attemptiong to navigate further in to the boards just brings me to a page consisting of the header and nothing else. I’m using Firefox 2.0 and logged in, this also happens with IE.
However, when not logged in I can access the boards, if not post on them. This is true of both IE and Firefox.
When not logged in the message at the top of threads reads: “Posting in this forum require registration.” and is missing an “s”. Small potatoes though ;)
Otherwise looking sharp! Well done Gasmonso!

Yay! An evolution/ID thread, oh my favorite subject of debate. I’m guessing that Historicity discussions will end up happening in the respective religion’s sections.
Also go Sid on having a philosophy section. I’d be glad to put my weight on the Evo/ID section, I’ve been dealing with that ever since my Highschool biology teacher said to our class “I’m sooo sorry everyone, I know none of you here want to hear it, but I have to teach evolution because of testing standards. I’ll try to be as brief as I can.” I may be a little biased in my own take, but I’ve seen both sides turn ugly enough.
I do wonder if there should be a Cosmology section, since many debates in Relgion vs Science tend to veer towards the age and size of the universe and not just Evolution vs Intelligent design. It may be fine to do without it though, it might fill up with the same stuff over and over again.

Hey, it works, thanks gas.
Cosmology?
I dunno, I figured star trek ended that debate long ago?

Make sure that people who join speak in english. Please?
They should receive 1 warning then just suspend them. I can deal with poor spelling and grammar and accents. But if they aren’t going to speak the language they have no reason to be there.

The boards look okay. I’d say just change the color scheme and you’re good to go.
December 31st, 2006 at 9:19 am
I have not tried out the forums just yet, but since no one else mentioned it i went to check on the paging system.
Is it a bug or a feature that newer posts are listen above the older ones? This forces you to read downwards inside a post but go upwards for the next post.
And before anybody else says it: I for one welcome our forum residing overlords.

I think have a problem similar to agnostic’s. I can log in and everything, and can see your profile and posts, but when I try to access a thread I get a “Fatal error.” I don’t know what this “Fatal error” is, but it sounds pretty bad, something to the degree of “Call to undefined function: stripos() in /usr/local/www/www.religiousfreaks.com/htdocs/wp-content/plugins/wp-forum/forum-functions.php on line 862.”
Other than that, though, looks good.

Oh, and it says I last visited “1969-12-31 18:00:00.” If this is true, I think it’s time for me to switch to Buddhism, although I think it’s more likely the date simply wasn’t set and it’s going from the beginning.

Registered. I think eventually the login, registration ought to at least somewhat match the rest of the site, though it’s not really that important.
Also I didn’t notice the ability to edit posts. This was one of the reasons a forum had some appeal.

Arktis:
Ok, I just created a test account with normal user privlages and posted a message in the forums. I was also able to edit the message. That all appears to be working fine. I will in the future though limit the editing to just 5 minutes after a post so users can’t go back and change what they said weeks later.
Also, the color scheme will be modified to match the site over the next few weeks.
Snurp:
I am aware of that bug and will be fixing soon :)
Humanistic Jones:
I will grant you moderator privs on the evolution forum soon.

Luh-ving it!

Small request here, could you make the editing time a bit longer then 5 minutes? On a busy discussion you could have the problem that someone else posts before you submit, with some valuable info on which you would like to respond.
If someone can describe better, please do.
Also, Opera has the annoying tendancy to randomly forget that i’ve signed in, am I the only one?

September 21st, 2007 at 2:46 am
there’s got to be a way to combat all this spam… quite annoying…
September 21st, 2007 at 5:18 am
A little captcha with every post, but wether or not that’s desireable….
I think it’s very odd that they’re mostly on this only.
