The hacker from a couple weeks back did a number on the gallery. :(

I've been working towards getting everything back up and running, but there have been some complications - the new version of YaBB, the forum software, no longer works with my gallery software, but I need the security upgrades in the forum software... damn snake eating it's own tail is what I have here.

Currently I'm looking at the possibility of moving to some forum software with a database backend instead of the current text file based one, with the idea that it must support a member and message import from the existing software and have an available gallery plug in.  And it needs to be free, and not too vulnerable to security hacks.  And I'd like a pony to go with that please, spotted would be best.

So how much does a "spotted pony with free software included" cost nowadays, anyways? Are we talking hundreds or thousands?

I always wondered how this could be free... it's an incredible resource.

Made some good friends through here as well.

How much money do you need GrimJack?

Will

two big thumbs up for v bulletin!

Grimjack...is it possible to zip the photos from each of the galleries and at least send them back to their "owners"...via email??? we could rebuild the galleries on the new board ourselves that way

just a thought.
