Gears of War, The softer side

What is with this sensitive song doing in my beefcaked, bald-head Marined, monster chainsawing, over the shoulder shooter? Finally, someone has seen fit to put some more machismo back into the game.

GamersCircle Forums are up and online.. again

Written by andy on Tuesday, November 28th, 2006 in GamersCircle.

A while back, I started the GamersCirlce forums using phpBB, which was free and pretty easy to setup. There were a lot of great mods for it, but what I didn’t like about it was the lack of anti-spam and security, so managing the forums become more work then fun and I decided to shut them down.

Then about 2 months ago, I brought the forums back from the dead using Simply Machine Forums (aka SMF) as it was a ready to install script on my hosting service, but I found it lacking in features and support.

This brought me to the next step and the conculsion of getting a license for IPB or Invision Power Board. Thier support is great, they have features that I am looking for like RSS and much better spam and security control.

So, if anyone would like to get on board and start talking about anything, there is a link on this blog and on the main GamersCircle site or you can just click here.
