Title: Calling all Cheddarmongers!!
Post by: cheddarmonger on February 16, 2007, 10:45:20 PM
Please help me stress test a new Cheddarmonger site!

It is at http://test.cheddarmongers.org

Create an account, create a photo gallery, post, upload, goof around!  All feedback is greatly appreciated!

The site will be evolving greatly, so don't be surprised if stuff moves around on you.

Cheers,
-- David

Thanks, guys!

I'll post invites on the FoD after I do a bit more configuration.

Opinions -- how cool would it be if I added a built-in email client, so that folks could send and receive cheddarmongers email from that site?

Okay, the testing is done, and now the real site is live!  More or less.

Go to http://www.cheddarmongers.org/prod and start from there!  I think I got all the test accounts moved over okay, let me know if there's any problems!  I'll be reintroducing more and more content over time.

I am glad it is working out for you Dave.

Did you get those spam bots sorted out D.
Title: Re: Calling all Cheddarmongers!!
Post by: cheddarmonger on March 09, 2007, 11:04:22 AM
Yep, I got the spam bots dealt with, I think.  I removed all the spam and tightened up the security.

I'm not completely happy with it, the original problem still remains, poor performance!  But at least I have it working the way I want.

Seems better to me, running a bit quicker now, the spy bots might have slowed it some.

I got the Gi6ers Collection (http://www.cheddarmongers.org/prod/pic/gi6ers)  live on Cheddarmongers, so check out Matt's gallery of miniatures!

(http://www.cheddarmongers.org/prod/gallery2/d/5045-2/gi6ers.jpg) (http://www.cheddarmongers.org/prod/pic/gi6ers/)

You can have a gallery, too, simply by joining!  The host can be kinda flakey sometimes, but the site is full of fun features.

Capacity Count -- at last glance, Cheddarmongers.org is using about 370 mb, out of a maximum of 100 gb.  Plenty of room left, so you're  :welcome: to join Cheddarmongers and post as much as you want!

And, I have about 1,450 free email addresses to give out, if anybody wants/needs a cheddarmongers.org email address!  Wristy, how do you like using cheddarmail?

Cool!  Any and all questions, comments, suggestions are welcome.  I want to make the site as friendly as possible, so I appreciate your input.

Cheddar I will add a few pics over the weekend. I have a terabyte of space left and feel guilty using up yours, But I will put up the gold and platinum plated minis. I was actually thinking of starting a page for them like you did with Thrud for them since I have a ton of their stuff already. I just need some spare time to do it. I was thinking of doing the same for CH once we start releasing items.

It's come's in handy for the adult site's, all the spam goe's to that email...  :icon_cool:

Joking a side, i can't remember getting any spam if any on my Cheddarmongers email.  :icon_razz:

Nice work David! Are you going to put a banner at the top next to the mouse?
Title: Re: Calling all Cheddarmongers!!
Post by: cheddarmonger on April 20, 2007, 12:12:44 PM
The mouse will be replaced by a banner.  Whenever I can come up with one.  So far haven't had any luck in grovelling for someone to do one for me.

WHat do you want done for the banner?

I had envisioned a cheddarmouse on one end, the word, "cheddarmongers" across the back, 3-dimensional, as though it were carved out of a block of cheese, and maybe a pile of dice at the other end.  Maybe 2 or 3 paintbrushes across the bottom.  Whatcha think?
Title: Re: Calling all Cheddarmongers!!
Post by: Baldemyr on April 20, 2007, 10:43:02 PM
Lol.  I am dealing with contracts right now but within a couple of weeks i could maybe give it a go.  No more grovelling.
Title: Re: Calling all Cheddarmongers!!
Post by: Custom_Hobby on April 20, 2007, 10:45:57 PM

By the way; I had to change the look; the layout messed up in certain conditions...  but I really liked the 3d, so I'll try to fix the theme.

I split off the DIY thread, feel free to go there and discuss stuff!  We just bought a house in August/September, so I have lots to contribute!

As for the Cheddarmongers thread - thats here!  The site is growing and improving just about daily.  I'm using my calendar to keep track of events and painting challenges, and I'm starting to use blogging to keep track of my character in a D&D campaign...  :cm

Thanks, but I think I'll stick with what I've got for now.  Still trying to find someone to create a banner for the site!

Are you still a member?
Title: Re: Calling all Cheddarmongers!!
Post by: Perv on July 08, 2007, 05:37:19 AM
no I only paid for 3 months usage and that was a couple of years ago so loads of new stuff has been added.  I dloaded about 60 ani's but only used about 10 of them.  Mainly animals as they were the best ones at the time but got the samurai and ninja ani's on my website from there too

Incidentally; the CM site is at less than 1% of capacity!  So there's plenty of room.  Come on, all you aspiring Cheddarmongers!!
