Digital Sportspage

Hi everyone,

I just made a much needed server update. It looks like everything is working well - but if you notice any issues, please post here.

Hope all is well.

Hi all,

Hope all is well. Having a problem on the admin end where something (though I can't figure out what that something is) is not working.
Will work on it this morning.

Great - if there are any problems with the old skin on the new software, don't hesitate to let me know.

Rodster - I just uploaded two themes; one being the "old" look (called subsilver2). On some forums, it's a little wonky with the updated software, but I just tested it and it seems to work. To make the change:

1. Click on your username in the top right and select "User Control Panel" from the ...

pretty crazy. How long was the site around before the boards? I wrote for the original Digital Sports years ago.

Anyway, glad to have you people in my life.


Hmmmm....it started in 1997. There was an article on the early history of the site in the Hartford Courant in 2000 - it's pasted below ...

Yeah - I just noticed that the forum has been around for 18 years. It's a bit wild to me. Thanks for everyone who make it a great community!

Board maintenance should be done. I upgraded the forum software and hopefully it will be stable. If there are issues that you notice, feel free to post here or PM me - will try and figure it out.

Heads up - I'm doing some forum maintenance this afternoon/evening, so there may be some intermittent downtime. Will post again when everything is up and good.

Hi everyone,

There were some forum issues due to a server upgrade that messed up the forums. I've set up a temporary fix - but I'll probably need to do some work on the forums over the weekend. So there may be some downtime then as I get everything up to speed.

Thanks for the kind words everyone. Maybe I'll have a chance to game online soon...

No worries about costs; I have DSP on a server w/some other stuff I pay for, so it's not any extra cost to me.

And I got that last post; so we should be 100% clean.

...and also, just a heads up. I do quiet maintenance of the forum, other work behind the scenes, pay the bills for the server, and occasionally lurk. Unfortunately, I don't have the time that I used to for posting....I've only just recently gotten back into gaming. So I'm still around...just quietly.

Hi everyone,

First, let me apologize about the delay in getting to this. For some reason, I didn't see the PMs about the spam until yesterday.

Anyways, there was an issue with users who wanted to join the forum not being approved. It is done manually, and I haven't been getting the alerts to ...

I'm on it....should fix it in an hour or so.....

Cut out the personal attacks. Next one = ban.

Cut the fighting out, please. This is a warning.

Haha...

There's a second stage of upgrades I need to do - but they're not urgent and probably won't happen until the end of the month.

Well, that was quicker than expected. It looks like everything is still working. However, if anyone encounters any problems, please let me know.

....as I need to upgrade the forum software. Hopefully it'll be finished today (Sat. 11/1).

Confirmed.

It wasn't flagged offside. For offsides, the linesman holds his flag straight up in the air and holds it until the referee acknowledges it with a whistle. Then the linesman uses the flag to point where the offsides occurred relative to the linesman (e.g. downward on the near side of the field ...

It's interesting as it allows for some tactical flexibility - Cameron at RB, then have Johnson attack Belgium's outside backs (who are really center backs). Or just drop Cameron in Beckerman's slot - he's a little stronger and faster, and should neutralize Belgium better. Or you can even drop him in ...

Planning on it. I need to pick up my game ticket from FIFA today. Staying one more night in Natal and then flying to Salvador early AM tomorrow with two work buddies who have been on the now epically infamous, disastrous American Outlaws package trip. They've been lucky enough to be on the "good ...

Confirmed.

Charleston trades 2B Rafael Abcejo to Youngstown for LF Ricardo Lopes.

vii. Keepers

A few years ago my Sunday men's team had an awful keeper. Konami have accurately moddeled him as if you drill the ball right at the keeper with full power, at least a third of the time he'll just palm/spill it into his own net. It's great! And by great, I mean it's bullshit!

I saw ...
