Why is it that the NZXT. Lounge always seems to be under construction? First it is because we have a poop for brains host. Second, we have always been a big fish in a small pond.
Our host is responsible for ~75% of the problems the Lounge runs into. However over the last two weeks or so I have spent roughly 15 hours on the phone with them and nearly have the server settings perfect to run the forum (mainly the arcade). We will now experience less lag and more features. This however is not yet complete and I am still working on getting us moved to our own database with new file storage options. Which I hope to have completed within the next two weeks.
There are several new features on this vBulletin that will allow me to do things I have never been able to do before for the Lounge. This is one of the reasons that the Lounge seems a bit off it's game lately. Usually when the forum is under construction it is because I am trying to get something to work. Well now I am just trying to configure all of the options. For the first time ever, we have had more capabilities than I have known what to do with. We have so much new script it is just simply not configured for the forum and it will take time to do so. Once more, the version of vBulletin we are currently utilizing is still in beta, so I am holding off from theme design. You may notice from time to time that the forum looks like crap, but it will be better to use.
One of the biggest changes you may have noticed is the Gallery. This script is very powerful and very customizable. So far I have focused most of my attention here. Many of you have so far neglected to upload your images here and I urge you to try it out and let me know what you like and dislike about it.
I would finally like to propose to you that my personal deadline to get this done is March 15th 2008 (My birthday). This is of course pending when DFI decides to return my RMA mobo back to me.
