Hai everyone! We just completed Phase 2 of SC 2.0! Users can now reset their passwords, format their posts, and edit existing posts, and finally, we have added to Phase 2 an unplanned functionality, a Public Chat! Which will serve as the basis for future chat functionality to come.
In Phase 3, we hope to add the "Like/Dislike, and Quote" functions. We also will be adding the ability to embed videos, and post links. We also hope to add basic intendant powers, avatar functionality, and list of online users. Phase 3 covers a variety of more functionality than Phases 1 or 2, and so will likely take between 10-15 days to complete.
Any donations to fund the next two weeks of development of Phase 3 is greatly appreciated. Our costs ate listed below. It takes a lot of hours in front of the computer to do this stuff, and hours away from existing clients. We are very thankful to Wilful, and the anonymous user for donating for Phase 1, and Phase 2, and we hope you all will continue to support us as we continue ahead to create the best forum that ever existed!
Of course users who donate $100 will gain a unique blue name on SC 2.0, and a honorary Donor badge which will only be available during development of SC 2.0. Please send donations to Paypal address: [email protected]. Please leave your username in the message so we know which username to give donor status, and make blue.

General
[ ]Restrictions on Tor use (to prevent blatant abuse of its anonymity)
- Need approval to create an account through Tor browser
Note: This is mandatory once we get to this phase. Why? Simply put,
people can and will abuse anonymity to keep acting out perpetually.
[ ]IP banlist
- Need user's IP to be not on it when creating an account
Note: Also mandatory, see previous note @ "Restrictions on Tor use".
Makes no sense to have known usability-wreckers persist with behavior.
