New Steam Functionality by kalkin - 07/29/10 @ 10:28 PM PDT #

You can now retrieve your Steam ID and fill out your Steam field box through logging in using the button directly to the right of the field. If you are wary that its some kind of phishing scheme then when you click the link you can observe in the URL the green secure verified Valve Corporation connection. Look for some increased functionality from this feature in the near future.

bADS by kalkin - 07/15/10 @ 07:58 AM PDT #

Sorry for all the problems with the Ads that we've had for the past 9 hours, I was experimenting with a new ad network that turned out to be absolutely horrible. That ad network has been removed, my bad! Won't happen again.

Ribbeat Vol.2 by kalkin - 07/12/10 @ 06:33 PM PDT #

The guys over at Stereotoads have made another album, this time with TVHEAD at the helm. The theme was instrumental hip hop and you can download it here

Ch-ch-changes by kalkin - 06/17/10 @ 01:43 AM PDT #

Made some under the hood changes to FA today, Bump limit is now set to 400 for all boards, and the number of pages for all boards has been increased to 15.

Random downtime by kalkin - 06/02/10 @ 08:48 PM PDT #

FA has been having some downtime due to a recurring error that I'm working on fixing, please excuse any downtime. Hopefully the issue will be fixed soon.

You called down the thunder by kalkin - 05/13/10 @ 01:03 AM PDT #

New Games board added with /sc2/, while the board is called Starcraft 2 discussion of the original Starcraft, pro matches etc. is also allowed.

Launching FA Steam Chat by kalkin - 04/23/10 @ 10:10 PM PDT #

A link to the FA Steam Chat has been put in the sidebar for FA, feel free to come hang out and talk! We'll be trialing this out to see if its popular and people like it, if it doesn't work out then it'll be removed. By the way join the Steam Group

Yo, a little help here? by kalkin - 04/23/10 @ 01:25 AM PDT #

This is a poll to gauge community interest in a Fighting Games board, please vote here: Fighting Games Poll

Updates by Tech Support - 04/07/10 @ 08:48 AM PDT #

A small set of updates have been applied to the boards.
Most of the updates are to help make moderating easier; however, the posting system has been modified.

If you're getting a posting error and cannot post anymore, please use the new appeal system that is built into the error page, i'll be checking it and approving them daily.

User Boards by kalkin - 04/01/10 @ 12:34 PM PDT #

The User Board system has been created. User boards cost $20 a month to upkeep and come with Moderator status for that board. Want a board about Philosophy? Sure! Just pay $20 and it's yours for the month, keep in mind that user boards must be safe for work content in order to be bought for FA.

/mw2/ is now Bad Company 2 with the game launching today, that is all. (I mean they're basically the same anyway right)

We're back by admin - 02/25/10 @ 12:47 AM PST #

After a short interlude! FA was hacked, but we've restored it. Posts are all there but any images/files will be lost.

IRC by admin - 02/24/10 @ 08:15 AM PST #

The IRC server has been updated to irc.fightingamphibians.org, please use this to connect from now on as choprocks.us is dead.

Whoops by admin - 02/13/10 @ 12:47 PM PST #

Accidentally lost some boards when working on the site, they've been remade. Sorry for the minor hiccup.

Anyway, the community board structure has been entirely moved over to Skirmish Frogs. Look for some more changes involving SF soon.

That was unexpected by Tech Support - 02/01/10 @ 06:34 PM PST #

Our host was having problems with php on all of their servers and were fixing it up until just about now. This was not a problem on our end, and could not be forseen.

Should any problems arise, contact Kalkin. He will be able to find out what is going on with the website and why it is down. Lastly, you can contact me only if problems get severe.

Update:
In the future, if there are any problems, please see status.fightingamphibians.org for the latest news on our hosting and any current issues we are having.

Need a light? by admin - 01/29/10 @ 09:58 PM PST #

The Starcraft community has put together a tournament within their own group that is going to start on February 19th.

Check out the players and teams here http://sc.fightingamphibians.org/?bmsh. Games should be around 5pm EST. The SC page will be updated with more info closer to the event so don't forget to check it out again later.

Gotta move that gear up by Tech Support - 01/27/10 @ 09:06 PM PST #

You may have noticed quite a few posts disappeared. This is because we transitioned from one server to another, and posts made during the transition were not exported to the new website. This is also what the maintenance was about, making sure everything was ready for the transfer. When the maintenance ended, every post after that will be long forgotten.

I hope this hasn't become too much of a hassle, thank you for your patience.

Drama by admin - 01/20/10 @ 08:19 PM PST #

Currently there is a poll going on /dra/ to decide its fate, the link to vote is in this thread. http://boards.fightingamphibians.org/dra/res/1035.html

Ribbeat by admin - 01/18/10 @ 02:20 AM PST #

Stereotoads has put together an album called Ribbeat Vol. 1, feel free to download and check it out! The theme was relaxing/downtempo music, see the post here >>/fm/77
No promises about the quality of the album though...

Themes and steam by admin - 01/14/10 @ 04:46 PM PST #

Added some new themes for the site in the top bar/site menu (KusabaX and Photon). We've also changed the steam field around a bit, it now has normal email functionality if needed and adds a steam icon to your post if you insert a valid profile id.

Rules by admin - 01/09/10 @ 10:14 PM PST #

The rules page has been updated, please make sure to read it!

Steam field in posting by admin - 01/08/10 @ 12:44 AM PST #

Replaced the email field when posting with a "steam" field. The difference? Instead of email addresses, you can put a profile ID in this field instead.

Example, set your steam field to 76561197999779383
What this will do is when people click your name, it will open up the profile ID page for ID 76561197999779383 (Which is Kalkin's steam page) by making the URL become steam://url/SteamIDPage/76561197999779383

Now to find your own profile ID, just access your profile page through the steam browser (it should be your home page for the community tab). Look in the URL bar, and your number profile ID should be there, right after /profiles/. If the numbers are not there and it is a custom Steam URL you do not need to delete that URL, just hit the Home button in the Steam browser and it should go to your Steam profile with the numbers. Just copy paste the numbered part into the steam field!

Unfortunately, you have to use the # numbers for the profile ID, you can't use custom Steam IDs/urls or it won't work. (also sorry I had to edit this post several times because we were tinkering with it and changed how it works so please make sure you're using it correctly!!)

Enjoy
