Happy new year!

Post by orudge »

Well, it's now 2008, as I'm sure you will all have noticed - a very happy new year to you all! It's been quite a significant year for the forums, mainly because it saw the launch of phpBB 3 at long last - as some of you may remember, I've said for the past few years (indeed, ever since the forums first launched way back in 2002) that "this year will be the year of phpBB 2.2", later phpBB 3 of course. Well, last year, my prediction was finally right. :P Did you know that the forums are twice as busy now as they were in December 2005, at least as far as bandwidth is concerned? In terms of projects, TTDPatch has seen various new development features added, and OpenTTD has made it up to the 0.6 development versions, featuring many exciting new developments, especially in the realm of graphics. No doubt 2008 will see much more of the same.

Happy new year! :)

I wonder whether we have two times much requests or just two times larger pictures in attrachments :)
If you need something, do it yourself or it will be never done.

My patches: Extra large maps (1048576 high, 1048576 wide) (FS#1059), Vehicle + Town + Industry console commands (FS#1060), few minor patches (FS#2820, FS#1521, FS#2837, FS#2843), AI debugging facility

Other: Very large ships NewGRF, Bilbo's multiplayer patch pack v5 (for OpenTTD 0.7.3)

Well, attachment sizes did go up, but we still had 10.1 million hits last month, versus 7.7 million in December 2005. ;)

That is true - all donations are really very much appreciated. I've not had all that many donations for the forums over the past few months, but they still cost a large amount to run! If anybody does want to donate, please have a look here. :)
