 Columbus Day Tournament |
| There will be a Columbus Day Halo CE tournament held tonight, as an effort to put down some of the inactivity around here lately. You will need the Halo CE game, and are advised to have at least these maps. (if you have the UFG Map Pack, you have them). - BC Raceway Final - Sciophobia - IceTrack The entire map pack is recommended. Other maps may be voted on in-game if everyone has them. The tournament will begin at 8:00PM Central Time. Check the Calendar page for a quick translation into your timezone. We hope to get everyone in attendance tonight! Also, Ventrilo will be available on the MrDamien.com server. If you have questions, contact me before the tournament start time. -UFG-Kirk |

| Recent Inactivity |
| Hey UFG! I've noticed we've been decreasingly active in recent times, which is something I'd like to change! I know that some of you still do check the website often, which is awesome!  Unfortunately I myself have been guilty of not doing that sometimes.I anticipated it... and it happened. I started school, got a little overworked and stressed out, and I stopped paying attention to you guys, and certainly lost any motivation I had left to do website coding. However, I'm finally regaining my focus and perspective, and ready to take on some new coding projects. I don't have an ounce of free time anymore most of the time, and this isn't likely to change until summer break, but I miss Halo tourneys with you guys, and I miss PHP coding for this site. Some of you are aware of the drama that occurred here toward the end of the summer. Others of you might be completely oblivious to it. Regardless of what happened then, I'd like to think clan politics have stabilized, which is another great reason to try to bring some life back into UFG. I'd like to have a tournament on Halloween, but I'd love to try to schedule a game sometime before then. Anyway two pieces of minor news: - I finally got around to some backend stuff... this news system was using Unix timestamps instead of MySQL DATETIME format like the rest of the site... it's been brought up to speed. - I finally got around to making mouseover comments on the emoticon images... so if you don't know the code, you can find it pretty easily. I encourage everyone to try to get the forums active again, let's see what we can do to bring life back into this place - which amazingly - didn't totally die off this time! -UFG-Kirk |

| UFG Website Updates |
| Maintenance is an important aspect of website development, especially when you're maintaining a complicated system that you created, and forgot how half of it worked. lol, I'm just kidding! ... Account System Code Modification So I've been reworking some of how the account system functions. Previously, your name was stored in the database with its UFG prefix... For example... $name = "-UFG-Kirk"; Now, it's stored as a separate prefix and name, which will help my automation system change your tag once you've qualified. (I can't believe I overlooked that!) $name = "Kirk"; $prefix = "-UFG-"; It makes much more sense when you think about it. Since this system has been modified, please report any bugs you experience that are related to your user account. Thanks!Accounts Renamed If I screwed up your name when I manually went through the database, and re-entered everyone's names... please let me know so it can be fixed. Stupid Users The following users left their timezone set to Greenwich Mean Time (UTC). Please go to the Timezone Preferences area of the Member CP and set your timezone correctly! - Power Kille - Fuzz Random Promotions Since you've been with us for awhile, the following users can feel free to carry the {UFG} tag. (Eventually this will be available AFTER qualification, but since that system isn't done, feel free to move up in the world!) - Fuzz - Pastry Dead Account Maintenance The following accounts have been removed for failure to activate before I noticed them. - DaxyZehaday - ProSpartan105 - gajxbiuri Not that these names are fantastic, but we might as well let UFG people who are actually PRESENT register these names. This is why I periodically remove accounts that have not been activated. Plus, an optimized database is a happy database. -UFG-Kirk |

| Enemy Territory Tonight! |
| Hey Everyone! I would like to do a recreational round in Wolfenstein Enemy Territory tonight. If you don't have the game, I encourage you to get it now. I would like to do at least monthly recreational rounds in Enemy Territory. WolfET is a completely free game, and can be downloaded on our "Wolfenstein Enemy Territory" downloads page, on the navigation panel to the left. If you want to be able to minimize the game while playing, you will also need the ET Minimizer utility, available on the download page! Custom maps and Jaymod will be downloaded from the server on-demand, so don't worry about them. Just download and install the game. The game should begin around 9PM Central tonight. (For the time in YOUR timezone, just go to the event calendar page). Server: dragonserver.ftpaccess.cc Shouldn't need a port, it's the standard 27960. -UFG-Kirk |
