Browsing the forums I just see some stuff is really annoying, so I updated the rules. I doubt anybody who have a good brain will have problems with them:

Rule 12: Code-Posts
[1 Point, 1 Month]

Rule 15: "Help?" Thread
[2 Points, 1 Month]

Show all Rules:

As you may have already noticed, you get a 403-error-message when you try to access the mainsite. This is because we had to disable it because for whatever reason, there's an increased amount of database-accesses causing the server to shut down. We don't know what exactly causes it (whether it is a component on the mainsite or a hacking attack) but we'll work on the problem to get the mainsite up ASAP. Please be patient.

The forum awards have been introduced and distributed among members that deserve them. If you want to check which icon has which purpose, please check >here<

In case you think I forgot somebody, please inform me via PM or posting in here. Please note: this is no request thread and I reserve the right to deny requests.

Some guys which visited the new LFEv9.0 and read the news may now know that I want to connect the Forums with the mainsite so you guys don't have to register twice but and you can create stuff on mainsite.

Actually this is possible for mybb and joomla, but not for our topsites script. I tried to find a script for joomla but there's only one for joomla 1.0 and joomla 1.5 legacy, but not for 1.5 native ( I switched the site to legacy and tried the plugin and it still didnt work , so it's hopeless ). Since the topsites are very inactive after months anyways I now have another suggestion to spread the visitors from LFE to other fansites:

a Link Archive

as you can see I already started with... well, three sites and no option for users to submit a link. Give me a bit more time to fix this

What I need is a bit help with categories for the links. official sites are the one thing sure, but what about all the fansites? should I only categorize them by language or anybody has a better idea? no it's not possible to let a site join two categories ( at least not by default, but if you've a genius idea I might search for a plugin ).

I would delete topsites (probably forever) and since the pagehits are counted we still get a rank-system...

opinions, suggestions...
thanks
