Of course, there is also the thriving community at MC68000.org catering for the 68k crowd. Therefore, we might as well just close the forums here down completely. Oh wait...

The move has been made, and everything should be back up here. As always, please report any problems to me!
Edit: Oh, if you're having problems staying logged on, you might need to clear any cookies from 68kmla.net and 68kmla.org (to be safe).
Just an update on this folks...
The Wiki has been moved over to the new host already and is now active at http://68kmla.org/wiki/. Please report any problems/bugs to me. The new server is using lighthttpd instead of Apache, so there could be some unexpected problems.
I will probably move the...
I'm not sure when those two dropped of the first page. Must have been when I was rearranging things last time new smilies were added in. They've been restored to their rightful place(s) now :beige:
It's not an April fools joke (just unfortunate timing on my part).
Basically we're moving the forums over to a new server, so the DNS records on all the domains need updated to reflect the new name servers. Unfortunately, cinemafia has gone a little AWOL, so we can't get the DNS record for...
At some point over the month or two, the forums are going to move from their current home at http://68kmla.org/ to a brand spankin' new server and (not so new) web address at http://68kmla.org/. We don't expect the actual downtime to be more than 24 hours, but due to DNS caching issues it could...
They've been added. I've cut down the list shown on the posting page a little bit (to tidy things up), so those (and a few of the older ones) can be added by clicking the "View more smilies" text.

They appear to be saved as resource fork icons, which makes extracting them a bit of a pain. This method seems to work:
Get info on the file in the Finder.
Click on the icon in the upper left corner and copy.
Open Preview.
Select "New From Clipboard" from the file menu.
Save as a PNG...
The install of phpBB we're using here is completely stock, aside from some tweaks to the templates. We're using reCAPTCHA on the registration page (which is an option as of 3.0.6, but there is a modification for 2.0.x that adds it) which seems to keep a lot of spammers at bay. We do get the...
We (well, I) have the archives for the era beginning with the transition from the Snitz forum (30th Dec. 2003) until a backup was made on the 23rd Feb. 2006. The only thing that is actually missing is between then and the server crash on the 5th Apr. 2007. I've been considering merging that...
I believe that in previous years, this sort of set up has been acceptable. The main thing about the 'Challenge isn't the arbitrary rules, it's having some fun with old hardware that you wouldn't normally have time to play with. So, have fun [:o)] ]'>
Don't be silly. Punctuation is a vital part of ensuring the legibility of text.
It's more about the post/not-post ratio than anything else. If you have a line or two of post and 11 lines of signature (which doesn't add anything to the discussion topic) then the signal to noise ratio is pretty...
So do I. But, it's still over the 255 char limit... however, the one I've just imposed (as possibly one of my last gestures as an admin here) isn't [:o)] ]'>
