Hey Doobs, just wanted to keep the community in the loop here. I've been talking with the fine people who have picked up ABXD (the board/forum software we are using) development and they are actively working on improving the board, which is outstanding (Acmlmboard has a long and colorful history and I'm glad it's not dying out).
Because of this, and the fact that this project is really getting the communities interest, I want to make sure we do things right and everything isn't destroyed by my potential error or the need to upgrade. So, here is the nitty gritty: Sometime in the coming week I will be taking the board down for ~3 hours for maintenance. I want to re-organize the directory structure of the site, and clone it to create a "development" board where I can test all new League features etc without potentially disrupting the main board. I also then want to add the development board to a repository with version/change tracking so I can keep track of our new features and easily port them over to new versions of ABXD! I'll make a post here and in the subreddit a good 12 hours or so before I take the site down. |

Never used this package before but it seems very zippy and that's always a plus! Good work! |

What I like about it is you can insert HTML/CSS almost anywhere to make things look slick. If you find some free time be sure to play around with your "Post Layout" in your user profile, everyone can make their post-boxes unique.
I'll try to find time to style mine out as an example in the near future. |

I've never heard of Acmlm before this. It seems however to have a good layout and some nice features. Looking forward to what's coming!

Posted by PerfectAverage I've never heard of Acmlm before this. It seems however to have a good layout and some nice features. Looking forward to what's coming! Acmlm was big into the ROM hacking scene years ago and developed this board from scratch for his website. It's pretty unique and has had countless reincarnations and forks/branches. |
