News / Re: TI really buys Omnimaga: more details

Yeah I saw the roadmap >.<, at least some of the important features are back though. (such as new posts)
The roadmap doesn't even cover the issues/requests list. There is a lot to do.

I save my vacation for Christmas. I'll be getting a little less busy in a couple weeks though. There are lots of things to do outside of just the theme though, so its a toss up on what gets worked on first.

I meant a realtime feed on the home page, not a constant update on 377000 posts :P
There was no real time feed (Unless you count The posts bot on OmnomIRC, which we still have). There was a little recent posts widget though.

Well if they wanted to buy the site I'd price it higher then that. I already know how much I'd charge yearly to run the site at the current support level we have. Let me tell you, it ain't cheap.
I don't know about support since it could turn away certain companies, but I know that just the fact that Omni has existed for almost 13 years, an entire decade online and had large following through certain periods of time (and even though activity is way down right now, it attracts many people who need calculator support), would be a good excuse to jack the price up. If it was sold to another individual the same way Casiokingdom did, then maybe it could be priced lower, but to an overly greedy company like TI? In such case you should go ahead and charge as high as you can if they really want to acquire the site.
Support costs wouldn't turn away companies. Most of the money spent on anything is for support. To run a site corporately you have to pay someone to keep it running. Currently there are a couple of us fulfilling multiple roles (such as DBA, server admin, application developer etc) and working long hours (sometimes all night) to make sure that this site can run.
Any company would be paying for that service to keep a site that they own running.

Plus you'd have to have a computer that could handle it. And server load would be high.

I'm going to re-work the notifications eventually.

697
I sure hope not. The resources required for that would be massive. Post data is 300MB+ before parsing as is.

Yes, and it will only be compatible with IE5 sorry.
Joking aside, a realtime feed where you can see what is happening is a cool idea. I might design something with together.js and polling the database for recent activity to allow something similar-ish.

Yay ! Facebook buys Mojang, TI buys Omnimaga, ... That's a lot of awesome companies buying awesome program developpers around April ;)
I'm hoping that the new Facebook redesign is 10% fake. I actually like it better, but the fonts are a bit too large. :P
The facebook redesign was out months ago for some people.

you guys held out for the good deal offers, right? i thought we weren't going to be doing this unless they agreed to produce merchandise / upgrade the server / etc.
Of course. Full time salary for all the admins too.

Gaming Discussion / Re: Wanting to trade Mirror's Edge - Steam
« on: March 31, 2014, 06:23:00 pm »
Unfortunately I already have mirrors edge, so I can't really trade for it.

My one comment is though, you think you get motion sick playing on a normal screen... Imagine how bad it is playing on the occulus rift X.x Never again.

Axe / Re: [Controversial] Better Axe Documentation Could Be Needed
« on: March 26, 2014, 08:21:03 pm »
For having Omnimaga host an integrated wiki, somebody can put in a request for that. I'd have to talk it over with the other admins, and make sure the integration was understood by enough of us that I (or whoever built the integration) am not the only one who can support it.

Having an integrated wiki that requires an Omnimaga account to register would be nice, but honestly I think if we want to start adding more documentation for things on a wiki, wikiti is a better option.

For this it would probably be better to use github like albert mentioned.

Read my post above yours. I made it clearer since both of you didn't understand.
Ah, well then this isn't the right place to be asking for that. You should submit a request to ourl.ca/request

It's a bit misleading this way though. Recents shouldn't have a sub menu with those two options. Instead they should be tabs like on the old forum. ;)
I'm not sure what is so misleading about having a menu item marked as recent under the forum menu.

Currently the full menu (not all of which most members can see) has these menu options:
Home, About, IRC, Downloads, Forum, Tools, Help, Admin, Moderate, Profile, My Messages, Members Logout

Adding another menu item for Recent posts, which logically falls under the forum category doesn't really make sense.
