| Some interesting statistics | Tuesday, November 08, 2011, 06:52:01 |
Looking over our site stats I noticed soemthing. While it is no suprise that windows holds the highest numbers (54%), the number of windows users visiting the site with internet explorer is far far less. Maybe 15% of windows users actually surf this site with IE. The majority use Firefox or Chrome. To all you Mac addicts. If you are getting a new Mac this year and have nothing to do with your old one, we are in need of a Mac running any version of OSX. We can provide for shipping if need be, but beyond that it will have to be a donation (unless some well-to-do sole out there wishes to buy this project a new Mac for christmas). To the rest of us, if you have an Apple store near you, you can also help by asking if they have an older outdated machine they are willing to donate to this project, unless by chance one of the geeks that works/owns the store also happens to be a programmer. |

| Yet more new spam | Wednesday, October 26, 2011, 07:26:34 |
| During a quick jaunt through the site I have found another avenue spammers have taken to tarnish our beloved site. Where you ask? In the blog comments it would appear... So, its time for another assault on spam. This time though, it may just have to wait until after the move... If any of you find any other place that has been spammed let me know via forum email. I know the wiki gets spammed from time to time, just never seen it in our blog before :( Posted by: pheonixstorm |

| Making a move | Wednesday, October 19, 2011, 05:22:48 |
| Thanks to our own www2 we will be moving the website over to its own server. Needless to say we have to setup the new site first so it may take a few weeks to get settled. Until then we will continue to keep our sf.net site running. Don't forget our domain address is vega-strike.org which for now will point here. The domain address will be the first change and we hope to have it direct back to here until we can get everything operational on the new server. For now just be patient. We hope everyone will enjoy the new experience much more than this cramped outdated jumble we currently call home. Posted by: pheonixstorm |

| The death of spam | Wednesday, September 28, 2011, 19:34:20 |
| Awhile back ace123 made a few changes to the forums that has so far been fairly effective in keeping spammers from posting on the forums. BUT, it also keeps new members from posting as well until their post can be approved by a moderator or admin. Soon this will change back to the way it was. Starting over the next few days I will be making changes to the forum code to try and keep all spambots from even being able to register. Last night I deleted over 2,000 spam accounts and another 55 that popped up between then and now. The first step to spam eradication will happen today, once I finish updating my copy of the entire vegastrike site. By the end of the week we should see no more users named "Unistawilia" or "allcottalmond". Maybe we will get lucky and these changes will be 100% effective. Here's to wishful thinking, may it come true. Posted by: pheonixstorm |

| New windows fixes | Tuesday, September 27, 2011, 05:29:53 |
| Fixed: mouse/keyboard bug from thread [SOLVED] Windows: mouse unavailable when task switching in which alt-tabbing out of the game would freeze the mouse in the upper left corner of the screen. On the other side of the alt-tab the keyboard would no longer work inside the game. This was an issue with SDL and has been corrected. Possibly fixed: Crashing at startup due to yet another dll. This time with the OpenAL dlls. Follow To: Windows users with sound issues to find the possible fix. So, two bugs out of the way I hope. For those who can now play, have fun with beta 1!
