The forums now reject registrations with Albanian selected as the language. This is not due to prejudice, this is because it's the first language in the selection and almost every spam bot just leaves it that way. If you truly need to have the board in Albanian, you can change it in your profile. Administrator approval is still required to activate any forum account. I usually check the forums 2-3 times a day. There is no real need to contact us over activating accounts. As long as you don't follow usual bot patterns like sticking ad links for prescription pills in your WWW address or signature, your account will be activated. |

| Forum Registration Posted By: Sabin on Thursday, July 03, 2008 |
|
 |
A while back we switched forum registration to require an Admin to activate the account. We did this because we were receiving a large volume of spam accounts and as a result spam threads on the forums. I’ve received a few messages in IRC this week about new IRC accounts not being activated. If you would like a forum account, please contact CWO, Stormrage, Camus or Sabin in IRC to have it verified and activated. A second note: You are now able to register with Gmail and Hotmail email accounts again. |

| Project Resurrection Underway Posted By: Sabin on Thursday, October 26, 2006 |
|
|
Crystal Gate is looking for input as we work towards the creation of our new and improved shard. This includes almost a complete rewrite of current scripts for increased efficiency and new features. The project has been dubbed "POLCG Rewrite (Project:Resurrection)". We are really looking for as much input from players as possible, so if you don't already have a forum account it is recommended that you make one and join in the discussion. This is a great chance to have your voice heard and help return our shard to greatness. Every opinion counts and helps stir interest and more development. The link for the specific rewrite section: http://forums.crystalgate.org/viewforum.php?f=29 CWO's introduction to this project: This project is something I have been doing side-by-side with the regular scripting I've done for CG. This is entirely a need for Crystal Gate if it is ever to survive in the future. There are many things that will be brought under control and flexibility of what can be done under this rewrite will not only better support current features of CG but also be a foundation to creating new features in the future. First of all, this is an ENTIRE REWRITE and completely written for the newest version of POL (currently POL 097). The other POL upgrades were just conversions. Taking our regular scriptbase and just patching it up. The former practices have proven to make our scriptbase ever more unstable and creates many troubles to script for. This rewrite will not only introduce new features for the shard that will be completed even before any player ever logs into this shard but it may even put some old features that have been around forever on the back burner or even eliminate them. I will list everything that is removed so that we may discuss a possible return of that feature. I am willing to implement any old things that were axed as long as the playerbase supports it but they may not be put in until after the new rewrite is live. One thing I will have on this new shard is as complete of a documentation as I can write as I'm writing the scripts. This will be included in the help system and it will be made public to the shard on the web in a text form which I hope that maybe someone will come by and organize it possibly with screenshots and other things to make a complete guide to playing Crystal Gate which will hopefully attract players. Keep all discussion within this forum to the project. Constructive posting will be enforced by me in this forum. |

| Forum Registration Change Posted By: Sabin on Thursday, August 24, 2006 |
|
 |
A while back the forums were changed to require registration to gain access to any of the content on the forums. As of now we have changed it so it only requires registration if you want to make a post. It grants access to information for those who just want to read, while also preventing guest users from spamming/abusing the forums. To access the forums you can either click on the "Forums" item on the Navigation bar or just use the http://forums.crystalgate.org address. |

Due to our host Blackjoe moving and most likely being without internet for an extended period of time, Crystalgate is moving over to the United States with CWO. The server should stay here in the US at least until October 1st. Any questions or concerns consult the forums. Discussion of the move: http://forums.crystalgate.org/viewtopic.php?t=4618 The server address is the same as always: crystalgate.dyndns.org,5004. |

| May 3rd Gladiator Tournament and 40 online! Posted By: CWO on Saturday, May 06, 2006 |
|
|
We had hit 40 online again! The last time we were at this number though, it was a bad thing. Now its a great thing, the shard is starting to see its rebirth. Theres no better way to celebrate than having an event followed by an event. Both of them on the third were tournaments. A 1v1 followed by a FFA. Dwael posted a very nice account of these two tournaments with many pictures. See post (Must have a forum account to access this post) |
