Not a fan of how space battles internal linking works, but I cannot argue the site works

I don't know about the others, but spacebattles has it's own server. It's not a very good one, and they don't have a full time sysadmin who knows what they're doing.

Would not suggest their solution.

Anyone running Xenoforo is using a private server.
They don't have a free hosting service.
I checked this out the other day, after discussing it with Ero.

just because it's being hosted on A server doesn't mean it has to be a server administered by you. DigitalOcean is an example of this.

No, no,
sorry I was half cut when I posted.
I meant a paid server.
Xenoforo do not have free hosting like Icyboards.

Been trying to join the TFF Discord but it doesn't seem to work. Not getting any sort of invite message or anything when I click on it, just my current servers.

Are you using this one? http://thefanfictionforum.net/announcements.php?aid=15

Or the one T.L. posted earlier in this thread? Because I had the same problem with his link.

I was using the one posted in this thread earlier. Thanks for the right link. Didn't see it earlier.

I do not use that, not because I do not want to, but it wants me to sign up...

Too bad it was not instead a simple RSS feed for status... Oh well.

Yes, too bad we use an actual full featured communication system instead of a 20 year old one way feed.


Are you serious?

Actually... yeah... a feed needs no login, it needs no real maintenance except to be updated with the news or blurb, needs no separate site to go to to access, it is automatic if the user has their feed reader set to auto update.

All it is, is a raw file, in a specific XML variant format, sitting in some known static location on a server. Easy stuff.

I use RSS/ATOM feeds for monitoring tons of stuff, examples:
- Web comics, like Outsider
- Anime Music Video feeds from AMV.ORG
- Tech news, like Ziff Davis PC Magazine
- FanFiction authors, from FanFiction.NET, MediaMiner, FicWad.Com, etc... (email alerts in comparison suck)
- Category feeds from FanFiction.NET and FicWad.Com
- Other news services like National GeoGraphic, Weather, and Animal Planet
- Some software programs I use their makers have RSS feeds giving notice of updates, issues, etc...

It has returned to life! Awesome.

Is there some default dark theme available? Not familiar with xeno yet. Or is that something that is coming?
