@Seamus
Can you link us to one that has the 'dark' look you want?

@mietze We also appear, at least many of us, to be more incapable of giving a fuck. X place is bad? Eh. Quitting is easier these days, far more things competing for our attention.

And then love and adoration of my players as they read their wiki in Snipple?

Victory.

If you're not keen on self-styling, there's a decent-looking template to redesign the look of the tabs here: http://snippets.wikidot.com/code:tabview-csi

Definitely! Thanks for sharing that. Hadn't seen that before.

Thank you for this. I am trying to teach myself how to make wiki magic and stuff like this really, really helps me out!

Kudos to you on your awesome.

I've moved the copy of @Diggy Diggy Hole. It can now be found here:

(I've also updated the link above. Cheers.)

Okay! Too bad there weren't any more entries. The idea of contests like this is a good one to instill creativity and actually get stuff done with a deadline; ever since Optional Realities ran their contests I've pondered running something Evennia-centric along similar lines. Time will tell.

Thanks for the replies, if I decide to pay a little, I might try skynethosting.net. I was considering biting the bullet to remove ads on wikidot alone, but that seems like a better deal if I can get the recurring discount.

That one sounds attractive for that price.

Now if they can spoof IPs (not all that hard), then things get more complicated, but usually that results in other problems first.

To elaborate what she means for those unaware, I will translate.

Chime: 'Applications that can ban ips after a certain number of authorization failures are great!' slight shift in posture 'Until someone that knows that you're using one modifies their headers and blocks your IP so you can't log into your own server.'

You might even be asking, how hard is it to tell that these programs are being used? Not hard. Trivial even. They're not even recommended. By anyone. Anywhere. Except here I guess.

However if we're being fair, Security by Obscurity isn't a recommended solution either, it's just one of those things that you tack on as an after thought because you can.

Case in point (For thread necro): If you rely on either of these things for your security you've already lost.

2nd Case in Point: This is why my thread wasn't entitled: How to secure your hosting box.

Should be!

No, really. Copy, paste. Mess around with it. Best way to learn.

@Glitch - Why is it eating the square brackets down in the category code? I'm not having any luck with unicode.

Maybe you want to know how long someone has spent approved, so I created a function to pull that information from the middle of this code (but not, yet, via the isapproved() function). It hasn't been tested, yet, but I'm sure it will be.

Here's the commit.
