Portal Updates and Beta Signup

Portal Updates


Here are some updates on our Portal:

*New Theme: Arclite by DigitalNature
*Contact Menu is now available. You could now contact us by visiting it or contact us through the forums
*Registration Link and Login Link to the forum is now available via the Member’s Area on the Sidebar.
*Updated some pages and error pages.

Beta Signup


I have opened up a beta signup for public registration / signup.
This beta signup would include all upcoming beta versions of GCM and some in-game tweaks and the right to suggest some in-game events for the upcoming versions. Anyone who become a beta tester would be having a Forum Badge / Title. If you would like to signup, you could visit the beta signup page at http://gcmboards.co.cc/?page_id=187 or visit our forum for faster response on your Beta Signup form because it would be read by all the staff when you post it at the forum and would be easy to determine if you have passed the beta signup. You may need to register to our forum if you would like to signup for one.

Have a nice day to everyone!

Limit Server Loads and Forum Updates

Server Loads:

I am currently aware of Spam Bots that post a thread in our forum but our forum automatically deletes them but they add traffic to our servers making them slow.

I recently integrated a Server Limit which limits the Server load to 5.0. This also includes Spam Bots (mostly) that tries to spam and steal or acquire some loads and bandwidths.

If you do have suggestions or you do not support this, please do post them here.

Server Status:
Gzip Compression Enabled
Server Load (max): 5.0

** Server Load (max) is the required value of the server load (traffic or usually bandwidth) before MyBB Denies any access of our forums. However, it does not affects our portal.

If you would like to Ping our servers (for better functionality) Follow some steps below:
Windows Users:
* Click Start Button
* Click Run. A dialog box must appear.
* Type on the dialog box “ping http://www.gcmboards.co.cc” without the quotes.
* A command prompt will show. Check out the time for the ping (usually have “ms” label)

Mac OS Users:
* Click Finder in the Dock.
* Click on Macintosh HD in the window.
* Click on Applications.
* Click on Utilities.
* Double click on Network Utility.
* In the Network Utility Window, Click on the Ping Tab.
* In the field under “Please enter the network address to ping, enter “gcmboards.co.cc” without the quotes.
* Click on the Ping Button to start pinging.

** You could help us by sending some information about your Ping Test.


Forum Updates:
I have uninstalled or removed MyPlaza Turbo due to functionality. I’m getting some unwanted things from it and also uses most of the database usage.
Our forum will only be using the Game Section which you could suggest for a new game.
If you would like to suggest one, please do post them here:
http://gcmboards.co.cc/forum/gaming-center-f-21.html

I have added a FavIcon on our website (Icon which appears beside the Addressbar usually found before the http:// tag)

Thanks for your unlimited support!

** Please note, Search Engine Bots (such as Google and Yahoo) is an exception to this.

P.S. Jim777 posted this in the forums. I do not take credit.
