Notes


It's been a long time since we've had a Zunecast (yeah, I'm calling it a Zunecast, wanna fight about it?) and last time I was unable to participate thanks to technical difficulties...


Jalapeno Bootyhole is looking for a summer intern: a brilliant, talented wordsmith whom he can mold into the next great writer of online parody role-playing games — a very in-demand career choice, we might add. Does this sound appealing...

I'm happy to announce that greasemonkey superstar Invariel is joining Crotch Zombie over the summer to work on a game extension to Forumwarz. Invariel caught our attention by writing a useful script to make Forumwarz raiding easier...

Wow am I jealous :(


It has been about 6 months since we launched Forumwarz Episode 2! The initial plot for Forumwarz was written quite some time ago. Based on a few meetings where the team discussed what we'd like to have in the story, Jalapeno Bootyhole wrote up an outline...


As part of the continuous effort to introduce more players to Forumwarz, we have coded up a Beta system for running affiliate ads. We're looking for people who have sites and are trying to monetize them. Basically here's how it works: We give you ads to run on your site...


We've listened to your feedback on itembuildr and pushed out a few updates: The item-generating code is a lot better. There should be fewer random repeats of the same item class. You should never get the same item class twice in a row...


One of our most requested features for IDC is the ability to ignore other players. Lately I made some changes to how IDC works on the back end that allowed me to implement the feature...

I will never ignore JB in IDC ♥


You can now purchase your own word filters in IDC. To avoid rampant abuse like people purchasing word filters for "the," a moderator has to approve your filter. Word filters have to be at least 2 characters long, and they'll cost 3BP for 10 weeks of use...


I spent some time re-factoring our image uploading system to allow for more user submitted content. It was a lot of refactoring, but from now on it's much easier for users to contribute to our game. The first step was implementing custom emoticons...


We're pleased as punch (the tasty kind that you drink, not the painful kind you get from mean people) to announce that we've added five new mods to create an all-star, balls-out, ass-kicking team of internet arbitration...


I've been updatting Twitter a lot more lately than the blog, mainly because most updates don't warrant a full posting. If you have a Twitter account you can follow forumwarz for more frequent updates...


Forumwarz is looking for a great new moderator to help our team with day-to-day activities. It's a fun, responsible position and it'll give you access to the secret, inner bowels of the Forumwarz engine. If you're interested, read this thread and tell us why you think you deserve the gig!


Today I'm delighted to announce the launch of itembuildr, our latest system for players to create content in the Forumwarz world. Whereas forumbuildr allowed players to create forums, itembuildr allows you to create items that your player can actually equip! Here's how it works:...


Thanks to a recent ad campaign, Forumwarz recently passed the 150,000th registered account mark. When we launched Forumwarz nearly a year and a half ago, we had no idea if people would enjoy it or not, so hitting this milestone is quite meaningful...


Today we've added scullyangel to our moderator team. I think having a woman on our team will ensure that Flamebate remains the most intelligent and respectful forum on the Internet for many years to come.


Fan Service! For those who have finished Episode 2, we have partnered together with Celerysteve to build you a new mission that parodies one of our infamous forum members. The quest is only available for a limited time, so be sure it check it out sooner rather than later...


A bunch of people showed interest in the conversation editor I showed off in the screenshots of our admin section. I decided to record a screencast that shows off how the tool works...


I wrote up this article for Building Browsergames, a cool site for people who are interested in building games like Forumwarz. I'm cross-posting it here. For most retail computer and video games, once your game gets shipped into stores, the job is done...


There's a short interview with me up on Building Browsergames. I think it's a promising site that's geared towards helping out develoepers who are interested in building their own games like Forumwarz. (I've also agreed to do a Forumwarz "Post-Mortem" for them...


While it's not as obvious when you're going through quests and having fun playing, underneath the scenes, Forumwarz is just a database. Every forum, attack, conversation and cinematic is represented in the database somewhere so we can keep track of it and modify it as we need...


fig 1.1 So Kyoubai has been quite the success! Since it launched just over two weeks ago, we've hosted over 40,000 auctions with 150,000 bids. At any given time, there seems to be over 1,000 auctions to peruse for stuff like rare .moar files...


<START TRANSMISSION> Greetings, The wait is over and with the Domination round starting Wednesday January 28th a slew of changes will be implemented to improve Domination and provide better balance for all players...


We're delighted to announce that Kyoubai, the official Forumwarz auction house, is live! To celebrate its birth, we've seeded it with two special auctions. Note that for the following links to work, you must have a bookmark to Kyoubai. The quest begins around level 5...


In our upcoming auction house Kyoubai, we had to limit players who had purchased cheats from the fun of selling and buying items, since that could drastically upset the economy. This brought up a fairly frequent request to allow players to convert accounts that had cheated into ones that hadn't...


From time to time, people ask about the content of Forumwarz, and why we don't ensure that our players are 18 years of age. I feel like it's time to responsd. Remember that Forumwarz Inc. is a Canadian corporation, so we are only concerned about our own local laws...


We're getting pretty close to launching our first major feature since Episode 2 was introduced back in October. It's called Kyoubai, and it's an auction house that allows player to auction their items to each other for Flezz...


Happy New Year, Forumwarriorz! And congratulations to the very first pwners of 2009: srtop it and Rape Train. (Great names!) We expect the new year to bring a lot of exciting changes to our site and a bunch of fun new content updates, so keep an eye out...


Ahahahaha! I just got this in my Tubmail and it's too good not to share! Doctor Robert wrote a song about me.


I just created a thread in Flamebate for a new on-going contest we're running. You might have noticed ads for Forumwarz around the web. They’ve worked out pretty well for us in the past, bringing in thousands of new players...


Previously, everyone's E-Peen(tm) length was relative to the leader. What this meant was that there was one user with a 13" peen, and everyone else's scores would be scaled against it. It was good on paper, but people hated it...


I pushed out a few enhancements to the job board today. Most are to address confusion players get when they beat a forum and don't get paid for the jobs they complete. Usually what happens is people don't know a time limit is attached to a job, or how long it took them to complete it...


Effective immediately, we've changed the prices for several items in the "Buy Stuff" area of the site: The Game Dolphin is now 3 Brownie Points instead of 4 Changing a Domination Team Name now costs 1 Brownie Point instead of 2 Lottery Winner has been split up into three levels (worth 1BP, 2BP...
