Just curious: what ever happened to Site Chat? As I recall, it wasn't usually highly populated, but I didn't know if it was axed, or just moved someplace?

• How helpful have our members been when you've had a programming/web dev problem? Is there anything you would change to make how we help people better?
  -Don't change a thing, this is the best formula. Fast, complete and comprehensible responses is what DIC is all about. Why change the perfect formula?
  
• Have you hesitated before posting because you didn't know if something was against the rules? Has this discouraged you from posting in the Caffeine Lounge?
  -What has mostly discouraged me from posting in the lounge is the potential reactions of other members. Supersloth and Capty are the most known for giving out their comments raw. Still I find that this is ok, because otherwise the lounge would probably filled with crap.
  
• Did you feel welcome as a new member? Were the replies you received friendly?
  -Nearly 20 days after joining, I won an Ipod nano, so yes I felt very welcome. 99.9 percent of the replies I got were very friendly.
  
• How do you perceive the overall attitude of the site? (Friendly, childish, mean, Fun, etc.)
  -Friendly, Comprehensive, Helpful
  
• Have you visited the Caffeine Lounge? If you have not posted in the Lounge, please let us know why not.
  -Of course I have!
  
• Is the information on dream.in.code well organized and easy to understand? Are we missing any topics, or are any of the topics to broad?
  -I'd like a rate my boxx perm thread in the Hardware and Mods section, just for fun. Also, a cool site category under resources or a link of the day thingy would be nice.

Sloth was kind enough to add fields to the Profiles, but nobody uses them, which really sucks. Also, we could have a community gaming team, which would be cool.

EDIT: The flyer roxors my boxors! I'll post it everywhere at school. We should have more meets too. Make it twice a year or something, and somewhere else than NM would be nice.

DIChat was removed for a while, I think its going to be reserved for special chat nights and interviews etc that we do every once in a while but as far as the average saturday night or whatever went it wasn't popular enough to advert it all over the site.

The Lounge works better for general BS.

i was there, i talked to myself, i conquered

Chris just wants more posts rather than chatting

[skyhawk133]

Nope, in fact I'd much prefer a chat room. I enjoy chatting with members and friends. I've got 4-5 IM's going whenever I'm online. In the early early days of dream.in.code, we had a chat room with 15+ people in it all the time and we would talk for hours and hours. The last time I had the IRC room up, hours would go by without anyone saying a word.

[MarkoDaGeek]

Yeah, the DIC chat used to be something else... I wonder what happend.


I prefer posts. When those chat rooms get going I don't understand what people are jabberin about.

[capty99]

ah, good ol irc. jaredigital and i had a couple flame wars in there.


christopher, how about a ruby snippets section.
im in the learning stages and will add my stuff as i get it down, and it would be nice to see some other people throw some up there.

ill take responsibility for putting up more content if no one else d oes thoough.

[skyhawk133]

Your wish is my command... or something like that. I'll take care of it today.

[capty99]

Before i reply fully in this thread (i am to new to this forum to fully answer all the questions) i have the following sniplet of comment:
The requirement that you must have made 10 posts before you can use the personal message system is not only not very handy (to me), its also pretty unclear.
I hope that helps

I think it's a thing that doesn't allocate message space to those members who have joined, but only say one or two things. If you want to be a real member of Dream.in.code, getting 10 posts is quite easy.

Capty, sorry, didn't see this question until now.

We were never with Dream Host, our servers are with Ev1Servers.net. I will probably be moving dream.in.code to a fully dedicated server with The Planet (a subsidiary of EV1) on a brand new piece of hardware. This may take place as early as next month, but most likely I'll wait until the school year is over.

Thanks for the feedback. I'll track down the piece of code I used to use to notify users with <10 posts that there were limitations.

We had to implement that limitation due to the amount of spam that would be sent out by members who simply registered to spam other members.
