I'm thinking of buying XenForo. It looks like the forum software of my dreams. Too bad it doesn't have an arcade plugin yet.
I liquidated my Explicit Extension subdomain. I believe it was the cause of my AdSense being disabled.

I just got an E-mail informing me that my AdSense account has been disabled. It's accumulated around $30 over the years that I haven't collected yet. I have no idea what I've done to get them suspicious. I'm just running a humble web page. Now how am I supposed to get free money?
On to site-related news, I'm currently constructing a "Sengoku Rance"-like battle system with JavaScript while learning JavaScript at the same time. I've already written about 200 lines of code and it's not even close to finished. We'll see what happens when it's completed.
Added my last.fm page so you can see what I'm listening to.
Added my Steam page so you can 3/2/11
I have a confession. I've been addicted to papercraft for the last month or so. My need to build just went from coding to Minecraft and now to papercraft. Why didn't I get into it right when I knew I was gonna be unemployed for a while? It's the perfect hobby while screening for music.
To make things worse, the phpBB guy who was helping me fix some problems suddenly stopped replying to my posts(this was last month). I guess we're both at a loss. I don't feel like re-installing the forums and setting everything up again just because of a small bug that only appears in the admin panel. :(
To make things even worser, I'm having those delusions of grandeur again, much like my previous unfinished game projects. This one involves creating a browser-based MMOSRPG. I already have some of the game mechanics and page layouts in my head. The battle system would be somewhat like that of Sengoku Rance or something similar. The story would be recycled from a previous unfinished project. I even have a theme song already playing repeatedly in my head whenever I think about it. Since I'm no Zuckerberg, I have no idea how to implement this, except that it requires a buttload of coding on multiple languages. What is it with me and ideas?
In other news, I found out how AdWords works. Yes, I got charged $0.79 for 1 click. Also, who did this? Because it certainly wasn't me.

I think the forums look pretty awesome now. It definitely looks simpler and more organized than before. I retained some aspects from the default style because of how good it looks with the background. What I love most about this style is that every single page validates under XHTML 1.0 STRICT.
No more page stretching!
Converting this style fixed some errors but didn't fix others, so I have some more work to do.

It took me a whole day to figure out why the divs on some pages wouldn't center in IE. I scoured all over the webs for a solution or workaround. It turns out that it was IE's "quirks" mode(the "fuck-everything-up" mode) that kicked in, because I put some comments above my doctype declaration. So to all you would-be web developers out there, always put a doctype declaration and never put anything above it.

I actually wanted to get the forums out by New Year, but I found out that I need to update my custom style to match the phpBB3 version or there will be errors. Since my style is based on subSilver2, there are barely any step-by-step instructions. Most mods even support proSilver before they do subSilver2. I might either have to port my style to proSilver or use a program that shows the differences between two text files in order to update. The former sounds like a better choice in the long run when future phpBB3 versions come out.

Changed the forums background to match the homepage. It looks better than ever!
12/1/10
Converted the shoutbox from an iframe to an object. Disable NoScript on this site! Don't worry, you can trust me!
11/22/10
Added a non-working menu.
Everything now works as it should in IE. Somehow, it has something to do with me trying to get the page XHTML-validated.
11/19/10
I accidentally the whole layout. It doesn't work in IE!
Made it work in IE.
Did some formatting.
Took a whole day trying find out how to make alpha blending PNGs work in IE and I STILL haven't figured it out yet.
IE NEVER DOES WHAT IT'S TOLD!

Added a personal password to shoutbox before someone decides to imitate me.
Added character counter to shoutbox.

Got sick of my MSPaint logo, so I changed it.
I'm finally happy with how the forums look now. I better give it a few more months just to make sure.

Added something to which Google told me not to point any attention. They did allow me to label it as a "sponsor".

This isn't really an update. I just want people to know that I pre-ordered the StarCraft II Collector's Edition back in May. Newegg charged my account and was in the process of sending the package. It turned out that they didn't have any packages left, so they irrevocably RMA'd(returned & refunded) it. So, I'm sitting here, a day after the SC2 release, sulking at the fact that I'm not getting the game any time soon and that I'm never gonna get the kick-ass flash drive.
tl;dr: Newegg trolled me. :(
6/17/10
Added a counter so I could get a gist of how many people visit this page.
Changed the anti-spam question in the shoutbox.

I have good news and bad news. The bad news is I'm gonna die on Tuesday! :( The good news is I'm gonna be resurrected a month later! :) What does this have to do with the site? Nothing really.
Next, I want to point out some unusual occurances happening to the VIP. It's gotten incredibly popular throughout this month. The average monthly bandwidth it takes up is usually 1.5 TB. Last month, it went below 1 TB. This month, however, it's projected to take up over 4 TB of bandwidth! Someone or something out there is causing VIP to go viral.
I don't really mind the sudden increase in regular listeners, but... Actually, I can't think of anything negative that can come out of this. Carry on.
Hm, actually, I really should get off my ass and "finish" those forums to house everyone who happens to be visiting because of the VIP.
Proof that it's been under construction for two years.
As you can see, I'm an adamant admirer of alliteration. Also, see that top-right menu link to the "Arcade"? That will be my primary focus. Finding all the great Flash games like I do with finding great VG music.
Check out some of the crazy BBCodes I added.

Just got a PSP last week, so site will be delayed yet again! In the mean time, listen to some music. To clear up some confusion, I, Cats777, have created and continue to solely update the VIP and WAP (and CCRadio in the near future). There is no group doing this. I really do spend much of my time listening to music.
Decided to postpone the browser-based MMORPG project until someone makes a working mod for phpBB3.
6/11/09
Did I say the site and forums will be up in a month? I meant this month.
Decided that the project will be purely PHP-based instead. Can't be arsed to pay extra for VPS hosting.
5/11/09
Project will no longer be isometric due to the amount of unnecessary animation work it would take. Since I'm planning on having Zelda-like gameplay, I'm gonna limit sprite facing to 4 directions. Imagine animating 8 directions!
I'm counting on the site and forums to be up within a month.

I've just created a PayPal account for the first time! So naturally, I added a Donate button.
3/19/09
Added primitive anti-spam to shoutbox.
3/18/09
I found an awesome "under construction" image.
Changed some code.
1/26/09
Decided to do the project in Java. In before "lol runescape ripoff". Project will be pixelated isometric and is estimated to reach alpha in 5 years.
11/25/08
For those who were with me in the last forums, 11/24/08
Decided to reveal latest version of world map.
4/20/08
Added news
Added shoutbox for no reason
