Now, start over from scratch is a reference to the files, NOT the database. This means that deleting everything and reinstalling will not remove posts, scores, and the like. I will also do a backup of the database should anything go foul.
Now the project is going to be big, so my plan is to do it when I have decent time to hit it. At this point, the plan is to install:
- forum
- portal
- arcade (including multiplayer)
- chat/shoutbox
I do not have plans to bring in any more styles (like the AcidTechRed that use to be used) unless I get a large call for them, since each style requires that much more work for every modification I make. Example: I install arcade, I have to change files for the prosilver and subsilver2. If I had two more styles, I would have to make the same changes for each of those as well. As I get so little traffic as it is, it just seems like too much work. However, people have proved me wrong before, so I will humor people who might otherwise have a style in mind.
Later down the road, I will work on the emulator for those people who want it. I will also be adding a new forum for MODs to the board, so guests who happen to venture to my site will know what I have installed, and know what it looks like. I will post more when I know more. I possibly will make the changes tomorrow.
