News / State of the Site adress Q3 2022
« on: October 20, 2022, 10:21:17 PM »
So things have not gone to plan, covid being the driving force.
First and foremost I essentially went from making $37 an hour equivalent to 18, to now ABOUT 12.00 an hour on short term. This leaves me short on cash, hard. For those of you wondering how this happens, its the result of the loss of 20 hours a week over time, and then having to go on disability (which has consumed more time with appointments tests and bullshit then working did.) Covid KILLED over time DOA.
I have found a service that will help me modernize what i want to do, AND make it most importantly. MOBILE COMPATIBLE. This is something that is new to me, and has been a source of major fustration. However, with the pay cut, I cannot afford to utilize this service Currently. after bonuses and taxes, I will probably be purchasing this service.
That being said, the good news is, since I'm not going to worry about the main coding any more, just gonna wait till an afford to have them do it, I can focus on the other major requests, and that's the arcade and the art studios.
Most the art stuff is set up, just gotta convince people to use it. Arcade though needs some serious work, i need to find either onsite secure flash emulator, or a non flash based arcade, both of which seem to be nonexistent.
Still working on it, but I don't want anything half assed.

Web Comics / A God without power is still a God
« on: August 30, 2022, 11:57:01 PM »A God without power is still a God
After gaining recognition from Jehovah Mekoddishkem, for completing his/thier role in the world, Juestan rules his/their Universe, and is down right bored. With a look, he/they can quell what little unrest there is. Sin is impossible, Hell hath claimed the few thousand souls that belong there, the righteous rewarded, the slackers in faith and fellowship building their repentance and his/thier City.
What is a Representative of God to do? Rescind his/thier power, and allow the world to become interesting!
Sidenote: The ripple lines represent Juestan's martyrdom. In this universe he was drowned by having his head held in a bucket, his executioners believing that's the way to humiliate a man who claims to be more then a man. This also makes him/them a lesser Magister in the Multiverse, having had an easier and less influential role in his/thier world while it was active then other Magisters. This won't be super important, other then the symbology.
my web comic, slow updates, but it's a start

Stock Market / You can't win them all.
« on: May 31, 2022, 07:33:13 PM »
Don't panic sell. even if you lose inflation wise, hold you stocks so you don;t actualize real losses.
Lesson of the day here is
1. You can;t predict when a madman is gonna start a war, but every half century is a good start.
2. Oil is a long term loss, should be avoided like the plague. Why people don;t know this is beyond me.

So apparently Moha misconfigured something while I was down for surgery, but I"m highly impressed it took then less then 5 minutes to fix it from contact.
Meanwhile I am not recovering as well as as i should be, so I've not been able to work on things as i should. hopefully i can get this resolved and get tihs up and running the way I want it soon.

Stock Market / Long term verses short term
« on: March 24, 2021, 09:48:17 AM »
Everyone says buy low and sell high, this is good advice.
There is so much more to long term stock trading then share price!
So yes, for day trading find a volatile stock and map its patterns and catch it on a low.
But if you plan on LONG TERM, you want to find the lowest priced stock you can that pays DIVIDENDS per share.
The idea here is you are writing that money off for few years anyway, why not get some of it back, for FREE!
For instance I have stock that pays .25 cents a share every quarter. I have 200 shares. That means $400(fees snd taxes come out of dividends, and this stock has multiplers determined by the board) garunteed money every year, even if it loses money on the market! If it loses money, I Invest it back into it and get MORE shares, and more dividends. This is the smart way, you really can’t lose much long term, and you HAVE INCOME.

News / State of the Site adress Q4 2020
« on: January 28, 2021, 05:25:08 AM »
I;m going to try and do this at the end of each Month after the quarter ends.
So for the last 3 months of 2020:
What was accomplished
1. Migration to a host and multiple years of hosting set up.
2. Maintenance page up, and site plan made.
3. Fixing (replacing) the database errors caused by Rowan's deletion of the database (Which actually started like in July upon review of the admin logs....)
4. reserving as many names as possible for returning members.
What was NOT accomplished yet
1. Site Base redesign.
2. re-implementation of the GU reporter code and GUR.
3. Migration from SMF to a platform that can handle being a one stop shop.
4. The GU app
5. New Logo
What has been accomplished in the first month of 2021
1. Domain name secured for years to come.
Q1 2021 goals
1. Finish basic redesign of main site
2. Get GUR back up and running correctly in new design
3. New Logo finished and New GU banner Done
4. Get Zel's svc repository running.
Q2 2021 Goals.
1. Get racing subsystem operational and in beta
2. Get blogger/Writing system operation and in Beta
3. Get art gallery into operational and into Beta
4. Set up Cafe Press.
5. Finish any outstanding Q1 goals
Q3 goals
1. Finish Q2 goals and get at least once system into Release format.
2. Have saved enough money to hire an App developer to help make the GU app.
Q4 goals,
1. Get the site back to at least 1000 members, with 100 actives.
2. start forming affiliations with other websites.
3. Get non obtrusive advertising set up. (see the buttons on the bottom SMF/Helios puts on there? stuff like that.)
Ideally by the end of 2021 I want everything back up and running. probably not going to happen given my job, but we'll see. These goals are site wide only, and do not include any projects or personal content I will be making.

News / Verification Questions Help
« on: October 10, 2020, 08:17:36 PM »
New members must answer the three Questions. I specifically made these hard for a robot. However, to make them easier For humans....
Spetember 11th was the day of the Trade Tower bombings. If you don't know what year the is, its easy to look up.
Fog Horn Leghorn was a Giant Anamorphic Chicken in Looney Toons that liked to beat canines with fence posts, and canine is not the answer.
And if you don't know about the missing link to the Zelda series, i guess you need this hint.
I will NOT answer questions about the verification questions.

News / New forums new rules.
« on: October 04, 2020, 05:57:29 PM »
Until I get everything out what I want in offical rules, the seems to only be 2 things I need to go over.
Fighting and trolling. We are done with that, or I will start banning. If you don't like something I say, PM me about it, otherwise if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all. Again everyone but Jim has had their chance to say their piece, and these will be posted on the archives later when I get to it, and if need be sooner.
Meanwhile, Home page is coming. now that i got everything transitioned proeprly, tht is the priority.
After that, see the prevoius topic for the road map, I will probably start with the Racing system first as is that's the most time sensitive, then story booking and art gallery after that.
If anyone has ideas or wants a different priority set, et me know, I know the arcade has been requested a bump, but it's going to take a lot of work, and never was a big draw, so I'm hesitant t make it a top priority unless I get more demand for it.
ADULT CONTENT. Everyone that is currently registered has been registered for over 15 years. Rowan obviously has ran the place for the last 9.5 years, Zel is my brother, James I know, KOH has been here at least 15 years, and Zordon has been around since I was an admin before(Same college as me), albeit he got deleted at some point.
Anyone else unless I can verify you in discord as a long time member (MOH, SZ, OVerlord, SDG, Joe, etc), will have to have a valid DL on file proving 18 to access ALL of GU. The art and story book sections will be off limits to non age verified members, as will the new university.
