Rage Cage Gaming Community

So if you hadn't noticed, the website was down for a little while this afternoon.

Unfortunately I have some bad news. While letting The Crooked Warden setup some forums, he managed to hit on a really bad bug that ended up breaking two forum nodes. We were unable to remove them and they were causing website errors that prevented the website from loading.

I tried to manually remove them out of the database, but it caused other headaches on the back end. I had no choice but to revert to a backup I made of the website. This backup was made on March 5th.

What does this mean?

Any changes made to your account, password, avatar, and any content you created on this website after March 5th got sucked into a black hole. I have the database with all the posts up til May 16th, but I don't think it's really possible and practical to patch that content back into the website at this time.

I apologize for this error and I'll be sure to make more frequent website backups in the future.

Hey Ragers!

So this week I'll be taking the time to post a look ahead. Team Fortress 2 still remains the largest played game of the entire community. 214 hours versus the second slot of DOTA 2's 158 hours, and the third slot of Anno 2070's 58 hours.

This makes me consider a summer project I can consider doing if I have the time. I was thinking of creating a working set of custom achievements and a fake money system that integrates a Team Fortress 2 server with our website. It'll be an interesting idea to bolster our community. I'm not sure if it'll work or not, but it might be something to look into doing.

Hello everyone,

Sorry this weekly update is a bit late. I had a couple of final exams on Monday, but now that they are out of the way. It's time to get back down to business.

The Guild Wars 2 discussion thread is heating up. If you are taking part in the game, Pogo has a thread for it going here: http://ragecagegaming.com/threads/new-official-guild-wars-2-thread.295/. Bare in mind that this is an unofficial group.

I've moved the steam profiles to the left side of the messages in the User Info content box. I think it looks a lot cleaner this way, and now it doesn't interfere with messages.

Finally, I'd like to end this news with some statistics from the people who've linked their steam profile to their fourm account:

Hello fellow ragers!

I have decided to start posting weekly updates to give you the ins and outs of the community. Think of it as a newsletter that will get you to visit the website at least once a week. Of course, I would hope you all visit more.

Starting off, the Minecraft server is back online. It boasts both a survival multiplayer server and a creative world free of NPCs and creepers that will blow up your art work. If want the connection information or would like to be added to the white list you can go to this thread. You can also view the dynamic map we have setup for the server at http://minecraft.ragecagegaming.com:8123/.

Secondly, I know a couple of you are playing Tera. I can't officially condone that MMO as an official Rage Cage Gaming Community game, but you are welcome to use mumble to connect with others that are playing the game.

Finally, we have some available resources on...
