As of August 6th, 2008; Ghoztcraft is officially 3 years old. The first time I created Ghoztcraft was on 08-06-2005. In the last year we've literally doubled our hits if you take a look at our post from last year. And a few weeks ago I posted out about 10 million milestone. I must say, it's a dream come true to see the site as active as it is.

Around the same time Gc turned 3, we also managed to hit 10,000 members. Which is also a nice milestone to remember. So what do you say Ghoztcraft, can we hit 20,000 members and 20 million hit's next year?

victory.gif Oh yeah, and don't forget about our 200+ VIP Members! Without you guys it wouldn't be possible!

Round of applause for the community,

Remember, any donation that you make helps out everyone, and we appreciate every single cent donated to Ghoztcraft. All of the donations go right back into the site to help better our servers, community and software.

Starting today, Lifetime VIP Membership will no longer be available. You will now be able to donate 13.99 For 6 months, or 9.99 for 3 months. After your VIP Membership time has expired you will have a chance to renew it and send another donation. Thank you to everyone who has donated so far and helped us reach over $2,000 USD in donations!

A new position is now available at Ghoztcraft. This is (or could be) a rather enjoyable one. It's title is "News Manager". What you will be doing is.. well.. Managing the News at Ghoztcraft.net. The idea is simple. We will provide an email and RSS Account to manage any news you need to review. As you find interesting articles of news you post them on the site in the appropriate News Forum.

This includes gaming news, world news and other news. And when requested, Ghoztcraft's News. You'll be able to manage that entire section, approve, edit/delete other topics/posts which members post and you'll be responsible for keeping it organized and up to date.

There are some good things about being a News Manager. You get to read lot's of news and I can guarantee you'll learn something. You'll find lot's of cool software, read all kinds of articles and keep up with todays latest gaming news, world news, and interesting facts. And of course, post them on Ghoztcraft, which means a high post count for you.

So, anyone interested, sign up here. There are no basic requirements, but I will be the one approving the applications. Goodluck. I'm also not sure how many of you I'll pick, but be assured that this "job" will take time to do, and can't be done sloppy.

I would like to apologize for downtime and lagging frustrations. Trust me, I am the most frustrated person while dealing with this. The Purgehosting.com server (hosting Ghoztcraft.net) was recently upgraded to Apache 2.2 and PHP 5.2.6. After doing so, many websites and scripts stopped working because of the new security features. However, most of them have now been fixed, so hopefully we don't get anymore downtime.

Also, when the server goes down, feel free to message me and let me know. I may not respond, but I did get your message. So anyway, just so that everyone knows whats going on. The server is/was being upgraded and things just need to be tweaked out until they're good for the server (in plain English). I can't say not to expect more downtime/lag, but expect less.

So pretty much the message is "bear with us while we improve our services". Also, feel free to post any errors, bugs, or glitches you find around the site so we can fix them. It's hard to find all of them.

Thanks for understanding,

If you haven't already noticed, the shoutbox got a major overhaul today. Over the last few days I've been working on getting it setup for Ghoztcraft. It was created by InfernoTechnologies and this is what I was able to get in trade for the InfernoRPG. Remember, we had a vote with what to do with it, and we came to the conclusion that we should sell it and buy something else for the site. Well, here you go.

So, check out the shoutbox, try out the new features, it may take some getting used to, but I'm sure you'll love it and it will grow on you. It's still in BETA, so there ARE bugs and they will get fixed over the next few weeks. You can refer to this help topic for more information.

Please post any bugs here you find that haven't already been reported, thanks.

I'm proud to announce that after over 12 hours of slave work my home redesign is done. I have been sketching out layouts in paint for the last two weeks trying to figure out how exactly I wanted to do this. I wanted a home page because now you can easily read all the news in one place (powered by ajax) and have a simple place which links o all of our best pages.

When I asked people for a review, 9/10 times the first word from their keyword was "wow, sexy". I hope you enjoy it. It's my design, I did the layout and all the buttons from scratch, etc..

I've got some good news and some bad news for you. First the bad news because everyone needs to know these things, then the good news because we know you love my good news.

The bad:
We've got a few problems with the site right now from the back end. Apparently there's some whitespace added to every page (giant space of nothing in the source). And until I figure out where it's coming from various things around the site are broken. Including the exported RSS feeds.

Another problem, is that an attached image to a post doesn't load.

I'll get this fixed as fast as I can as soon as I figure out what caused all the problems!


The good:
The Uploader is public again for a limited time only. Sign up now and upload and share our files publicly. This includes images, files and more. You can create and manage your folders, the script automatically creates the img code for you to post your uploaded images.

Located Here: Ghoztcraft Uploader & here.


The Ghoztcraft VIP Shoutbox is now public, this may not last however, so use it while you can. This also means there are new Shoutbox rules. Do not flame in the shoutbox and no posting huge images. HTML is also no longer allowed.

Thanks for reading!

There was an error with the Downloads System that prevented a user from submitting a file that was over 8MB. This has been fixed and I was able to successfully upload a 22mb file. A max, you should be able to upload as much as 60MB without any problems.

The CommunitySEO script was updated, but there are a few bugs with the system. Any lo-fi topics don't load correctly and will redirect to the board index. All other small bugs have been fixed. Topics should get a slightly faster load time as of about a week ago, disabled a few server side feature.

The gaming forums have changed a bit. There are new forums, and new icons for the forums. They've been moved around into different categories and this has been requested for a while. So check it out and start populating the new forums!

The default tab in the Profile View is now the Signature. Expect the layout from the Ghoztcraft Skin to be transfered to the other skins within the week. Changing the default tab to the signature allows for a quicker page load and helps with browser compatibility problems.

Please vote on what to do with the InfernoRPG! I don't have time to manage it and anyone I've tried to pass it on to has found it far too complicated and time consuming. It was a 100 dollar script and it's not worth just having lay around, if I sell it we can use the money to get something else for the site.

Thanks everyone,

After some time messing around we managed to get a nice feature added to Ghoztcraft. I'd like to take the opportunity to get the community involved in the site and take advantage of your creativity! Basically, we now have the ability to have a different logo in each forum (not just a static logo, or in our case, the randomly rotating one). So, this means we get to make logos/designs and have some fun.

Anyone that makes a forum logo can add their name in the logo somewhere (optional). It must be small and it cannot over power the rest of the image. It must include the name of the forum, the name of the site and our slogan. The rest is completely up to you!

Post your logo here as an attachment (not using the [img] tag) and then if approved I'll apply it to the appropriate forum.

You can make a logo for any forum we have. For example, if you wanted to make a logo for "Starcraft 2", then it might look something like this. And it would go here: Starcraft 2 Forums. So, since I've done that one, feel free to make some of your own. We need not only the gaming forums, but the News forums and the community forums, and everything else.

Note: This does not exclude subforums, this is the Ghoztcraft Skin only (default).

I don't expect you do all of them, but if you're interested, then attach it to your post here.

Here's the image information:
Width: 852px
Hight: 101px

Must contain: "Ghoztcraft" & "Gaming Made Easy" & the name/title of the forum/section.

PS: A special thanks to nyyankeefans for making this happen.

Goodluck!

I've got some more news for you. I've made various changes around the site which I know you'll love! Everyone, once in a while I spend a few hours working on the site, keeping it sexy, new, interesting and fun to browse; I've changed everything from the downloads to the forums both internal and external. So, I'm not going to list everything, but hopefully you can browse around the site and find the goodies.

So, with that said. I strongly recommend using the Ghoztcraft skin (version 4.7); I've done many changes to it and it looks great. First I'd like to let everyone know that the profile view is done. I've been tweaking it until it was perfect. I changed various other things around the skin which should be very appealing! Eventually this new Profile View will get integrated to the other skins as well!

I almost completely changed the forums. Sections have been renamed, and forums have been moved around, as well as a few new forums and some old one where deleted. No posts where lost, they where either moved to the new appropriate forum or just renamed. So, take a look at the new layout and tell me what you think.

Pay special attention to the following: The new "Clan and Guild Forums", we're now allowing guild and clan leaders to house their clan in our forums! More details coming soon. All the news is now in one general area, we had debated creating a news section for each gaming forum, but that was just ridicules. Please note that new RSS Feeds have been created for the news forums. You can use the RSS feeds to view the most recent news from Ghoztcraft on your favorite reader! Oh, and a new Programming Forum! I'll leave the rest for you to discover.

The Downloads also have some new features. You will now see as "Quick Download" Link at the top of the page, you no longer need to scroll all the way down to find the download link! Also, the screenshots are no longer popups and will open the image inside the window! As depicted in this screenshot: View Image

In the near future we plan to provide game patches and full game demo downloads! So look forward to that one.

The news link at the top of the site now loads the Ghoztcraft News Station forums. Gaming News is not displayed on the main page, but you will find a new image I created which links to the Gaming News section.

An Update to the Ghoztcraft Firefox Addon to accommodate for the recent changes will be released soon.

Have an awesome day gamers!

I've just finished my latest design and Ghoztcraft is the first to use it. This is the finished Aurora design (Aurora 3). As before, Aurora 2 is no longer available and is to be replaced by Aurora 3. If any Aurora 2 users don't like Aurora 3 (Doubt it) then I can bring it back.. But having it there for just 5 or 6 users is a waste of effort on my part. Anyway, I hope everyone enjoys it!

Screenshot:


We need a new logo, so I've attached the PSD. You will notice that the background is transparent! Please make sure you save it as .png high quality, this gives the person making the logo much more flexibility.

You can change to this skin using the skin selector at the bottom of the page. All Aurora 2 Users are now using the Aurora 3 Design. You must be registered to change your skin preferences!

This skin will be free for anyone to use on their IPB website and will be released on XGhozt.com and Invisionize.com shortly.

Enjoy,

The staff at Ghoztcraft, would like to wish you all a very happy and safe New Years. Get out there, party and enjoy yourself and celebrate the new year. 2007 was a great year for Ghoztcraft and myself. Here's a picture to put it in perspective: Ghoztcraft 2007 Statistics

Here's to another great year! CommunitySEO has been paid for and installed on Ghoztcraft.net. This is one step closer to Search Engine Optimization, over the next few weeks you will see a few tweaks here and there, or you may not notice them. But what you will notice, is the increase in search engines indexing us, and more guests which should hopefully lead to more members.

You may also notice that the 6 or 7 icons below each post have been replaced with 6 icons at the top of every topic:

Please use them!

Happy New year,

I'm just letting everyone know that the site will be "offline", with temp forums up tomorrow. I'm not sure how long it will take me, but I'm going to do some ghoztcraft optimization. I will post in the news with the updates once I'm done, and you will all be able to check the temp forums for updates during the offline time. Towards the end of the day VIP Members will have access to the site when it's offline (simply login) but not at first as I need to edit some system files.

These updates will signify the new year for Gc!

With that said, Happy New year and wish me luck,

Ghoztcraft.net has just affiliated with D3Scene.com. D3Scene is for World of Warcraft but of course, they are supporting other games aswell. The Warcraft 3 section and the Mu Online section is pretty huge and you will most likely find all the Hacks you are looking for. You might already have heard about the website, this partnership will surely help them and Ghoztcraft as well.

You may have noticed changes since the December Updates thread; It's important that you read this, as this news post will effect everyone as a community. Over the last few weeks the Ghoztcraft Administration has been discussing changes to the moderation at Ghoztcraft. Several Mods have been set to Retired, and not all of these where forced.

You can View the Mod Team here: http://www.ghoztcraft.net/forums/the-moderating-team.html

So, we've got some updates for you guys. There are a lot of positions open now and we desperately need some more moderators. I encourage everyone who thinks they are up for the job to create a staff application. You can create one by clicking on "Join Staff" from the Main Menu:

Your application will be created where current staff members can review and discuss your proposal. If approved, you will get a PM containing more information. Also, I know many of you have been complaining about permissions in the forums, they are being fixed as you read this.

I\'ve just released a new skin, made by me. I guarantee this skin will blow your mind and you will love every part of it. I created this skin over the last week, if anyone was wondering why I was so busy, this is why. Thanks to everyone that helped beta test and give their opinion, your time was appreciated.

You guys are going to help me by reporting any bugs, missing images, bad layouts or colors that don\'t match. I need you to report them as soon as possible. Why? Because this skin is for a contest at invisionize.com. (Details here)

That means this skin will be publicly downloadable and works on IPB 2.2.x - 2.3.x.
This skin will NOT load on Internet Explorer 6. All IE6 Users will get redirected back to the default Ghoztcraft Skin. This is because the skin is too good for the browser and it cannot display it correctly. Skin functions normally on all other browsers.

Please tell me what you think! blush2.gif
Enjoy!

Song in Profile
You are not allowed to upload any copyrighted music on our servers. You must hot link any files from another host. You are allowed to use the Uploader to upload your own music clips or media files. All copyrighted Music will be deleted if reported.


The Rules: http://www.ghoztcraft.net/forums/rules.html

Songs do not have to be approved before they are in your profile, and they will not automatically play when a person views your profile. You will need to add the Author and Song Name manually when adding the URL to the song.

We've relocated to a new server. This new server should be MUCH faster and better equipped to handle the requirements to run this place. I hope everyone enjoys thew new speeds and execution time in page loads. As with any update if anyone finds any errors or problems anywhere please notify me as soon as possible.

The Shoutbox is online.
We now require email validation for all new registering users.
The Game Servers are temporarily down.

Keep in mind that some parts of the site will work for some people and not for others. Anyone that still sees the suspended page on the old server will eventually get their DNS updated and directed to this one. Some parts of the site such as the wiki using a subdomain will have the same effect.

And remember, it's thanks to the VIP Members that in part allow us to Upgrade to new servers.
