Finally managed to update the phpBB!

Where you still involved with early upgrades to the phpBB code even with manual labor and other unpleasant things had, there is now a respectable solution.

Especially the phpBB beta was still heavy in their first releases up to straight-and to keep the data. (I only remember the UTF-8 conversion)

Today I am now dealing with an update of my test board and discovered this great tool. Simply upload data from the archive and follow the setup.

Customizing the database to the new version now done automatically. The actual hammer is the update file, where you are just in earlier mod, still had to compare each file, all files automatically and displayed differences compared to the original as well as previous to the New.

Class work, I say just because!

Your Body-Snatch.

PS: More updates to come!

Story of a hostility

With the shutdown of "The Stars" for me one of the darkest chapter of my story ends in the network.

You're probably wondering right now about what is "The Stars" and what I have to do with it!

"The Stars" was, according to operators' Funsynchro The largest database on the Web "and was the kind of site that offer Synchros for download, as it used to be fun doing synchro.

Through this common orientation learned to know sooner or later. How exactly this happened have already in April described.

Could in any case after a few attacks (Linksteal, complaints, ...) but a common solution can be found from both sides should provitieren.

Then more precisely by the frequent exchange of information, probably also some vulnerable pages of fun-synchro were launched. Exactly at that moment had an admin gates of "The Stars" and waited to beat.

When I got a few days later I was called away my email a request for deletion of all "illegal" by your data provider in my inbox. Why am I here "illegally" is in quotes is very simple, my provider did not know whether the offer of synchronizations against the German law violation. Anyway, he had sent emails to the right owner and who knows how that would be expected, I would not have taken the side of the net.

Then followed a rather quiet period, created a new Fun-Synchros for me was on my schedule, so I had no time to even look at Fun-sync over.

But now you can see for a long time, only an error message on their side and also someone from the scene reported that the administrators would have probably lost any desire on their project.

Apparently managed to "The Funsynchro largest database on the Web" failed the stream of time on the Internet withstand.

Rest in peace ... ...

But what I've learned, never trust the former enemies, and never tell a lot about you, because everything can be used against you. Let's hope the fun is now something of synchro no longer blooming.
