The email functionality is built into SMF and we are not going to go in an change things right now. The emails also currently contain the total information they need, including a link to the reply, a link to unsubscribe and the text in the reply.
What you could do if you don't like how it looks is set up an account on IFTTT.com and have it handle the forwarding. You can control the contents of the text with that to only receive the subject line.

You can disable the user's signature in Layout > "Don't show user's signature".

I use that for sigs and avatars. I personally don't like the ponies but I think its a personal choice and shouldn't be banned. I do wish there was a restriction on the size though, because big sigs are annoying when you have to keep scrolling down... Mine's only like 15 pixels high.
There is currently a size restriction. When we notice someone with a signature that is too large we ask them to resize it. If it is still too big we resize it for them.
Even if I'm not fine yet with some people's signature showing their wild immaturity, I'm fine with this option.
Maybe you should be a little less rude about how you word that? Some of the members may take offence with you calling them wildly immature.

blue_bear_94: I apologize for any disturbance this topic causes for you as you code.
Don't apologize to him, he should be apologizing to you. He has been quite rude to everyone in this topic.
I recall the days where there were just as many music posts as code posts. One of the reasons I loved Omnimaga was the community and its acceptance of people who all shared a common themes. Calculators, gaming, computers, music. Either way I would appreciate this topic to travel more in the direction of being relevant to its topic. If you have questions about the server, minecraft, or just want to say hello to me (I'd love to catch up with a few of you) then this is the spot to do so.
Omnimaga is suppose to be a safe place for people to learn with each other. It doesn't have to be programming, it can be music or playing games. I'm going to have to update our mission statement when we do the 2.x upgrade to the forum.

I see it that Omnimaga is a dynamic community, it just happens to be that the main focus currentley is on calculators, but that doesn't mean that anything else would be diss-allowed.

Doesn't mean everything else would be allowed either.
But this detracts from the main focus.
Hey guess what. I'm an admin, and the admins have said that this is allowed. You've also been rude to people for quite long enough. Enjoy a temp ban.

As a sidenote, someone should calculate the respect:post ratio of some users.
http://www.omnimaga.org/ratios.php?id=14228
(Btw I didn't check your posts much, but after 734 posts, you only have +4 post ratings. Such ratio, which is far lower than Saintrunner's, tells me that we might want to look in your backyard first, before questioning Saintrunner's posting quality. If you are trolling/trying to start fights on the forums, this might be why so few people reply to your project topics.)

Make that +3.

Also, the posts that are usually downvoted don't cover my projects, so you can find another explanation.
How you act when you aren't talking about your projects shows if you are a good fit for this community or not. Trolling and being rude is very explicitly against the rules.

Ah ok. Because they probably truly improved I think since then, management-wise. Back in Early 2009, I had to setup a ban on *!*@*ubiquityserver.net because of the massive wave of spambot registration attempts that came from there, and I doubt you would have switched to Ubiquity if that was still the case (not to mention right now they run pretty fast in general). >.<
From what I understand, when they were mentioned on a site about good VPS providers they got a bunch of fraud registrations. They are doing much better now though.

Wait, didn't Ubiquity start a few years ago (2008-09) as Ubiquity Servers or were those a different company?
Same company

If you have a small budget go with ubiquity cloud. Same thing omnimaga uses for there host

https://www.ubiquityhosting.com

they are still in the middle of start up so things are slowly changing but for the better!

there pricing is also really fair
Plus the co-founder and CIO, Brett Guarnieri is on our IRC channel (BrettN  on efnet) if you have questions, and their support is awesome.

Forum Arcade Games / Re: Final Omni Arcade highscores (top 3)
« on: January 22, 2014, 04:31:52 pm »
Wow I actually accidentally a high score once :o

RIP arcade, maybe we should go make games ourselves now >.>
I use to have highscores.

Making our own wouldn't be a terrible idea, but to be honest, other sites have way better arcades that should be used ;) (armorgames anyone?). If we have some cool team projects that can be embedded though that would be great though.

I wish that emus didn't automatically ungroup 8xg files when sending them to archive. It makes it impossible to play Zelda: Dark Link Quest, Reuben Quest: The Lost Mirror and any other game that uses hacked picture files (that need to be grouped before being sent to the calc).

By the way, do you think supporting Android 2.2.2 would be possible?
I would assume this answer would also apply to 2.2.2:
Yes the old version used to work on everything greater than Cupcake, but that's because it was literally just an activity to wrap the Wabbit core. Eventually it can be 2.3 compatible just requires significant changes.

withgusto Migration Update #2
==============================
We have reached Day 10 of migration! 

Unfortunately, as you might have noticed from a lack of downtime or
notice, the migration process has a major delay... apologies! 

Some people thought we have moved already because there were no more
messages. The news you get on startup only shows ONCE. To show the news
again, run:
    system-msg --all 

(Our admin Eeems will implement a --last soon, no worries!) 

We will ALWAYS announce whether we have moved or not, as well as any
schedule changes or planned downtimes. Do NOT assume that we have done
anything unless you see it here! 

That said... 

Current Status
---------------
As I mentionned before, the backup software is written in-house. We
write our own because the type of backup software we want has never been
made before! 

The backup software is a comprehensive Debian packages and system backup
that figures out what packages are installed, what files inside the installed
packages have changed, and if there are any new files added to the system,
either via pip or some external software installation. And, most importantly,
we want to do this kind of backup efficiently. Why backup the entire HDD
(or all the system files) if you can just backup the stuff that "changed"?
It's easier to restore to a different OS using package lists and a changed
files archive than a tarball of files that you can't really use! More
importantly, the data from the package list allows for package restoration,
meaning that fewer things break on the user side of things! This also
allows the next step of the backup to be much easier - just backup the data
and not the system files! 

But all of this only works if there's hard work put into coding, debugging,
and making sure it really works. (The debugging part is particularly
painful...) 

The backup software is almost done - it's running a backup now, and
will complete within an hour or two. If it crashes, I'll fix the bug,
and then the backup starts again... which means another hour or two.
(I'm going to implement state saving after this, but not before due to
the risk of potentially screwing up the backup.) If it succeeds, I'll
download the backup and verify that it did what it needed to do
successfully. If everything is good, we'll run it again on backup2,
and repeat. Once we're done, the global data freeze will begin. We will
announce this when it happens. 

Moving Forward
---------------
We can't give you a definite timeline, but we're hoping to be done with
backups by the end of this week. We still need to write a restore script
(which is harder than you might think), but no worries - we'll try to be
faster! 

Again, sorry for the delays, and thanks again for flying withgusto!

EDIT: Oh, right, you should make it more geek-ish: /^(omni|eeems|irp|saphira)\.irc\.omnimaga\.org$/
Err, actually the regex would only match that value, {omni,eeems,irp,saphira}.irc.omnimaga.org would return every single one of the results (Try echo {omni,eeems,irp,saphira}.irc.omnimaga.org in bash)

Userlists and operlists in the stats seem to be off most of the time... I'll look into it more later.

This looks pretty nice. Do you plan to eventually make a stats graph for IRC activity too (like the post graph)? (Maybe using the past logs, although that would go on status.omnimaga.org I guess since it isn't Omninet-only)
Erm, that site has stats graphs for IRC activity on stats.irc.omnimaga.org. I could do something using the logs but I'd have to build an API. Put in a feature request on https://github.com/Eeems/EeeZorBot/issues for external stats api on the logger.
