New Website

Hi guys,

The new website is finally here!

I would like to thank 00pump for all his hard work in helping with the website and he spent many days writing his profiles, cycles and articles. Thanks bro, we owe a huge part of the site's success to you and it's not going unnoticed!


Updates were not only done to site content, but also on the technical side. The site was completely redone and is essentially brand new. Unfortunately, there were some disadvantages... I had to code a migration script to port users over to the new site and those users not active on the forum were deleted to make space in the database. I also decided not to port avatars and members will have to upload them again. All file attachments were removed as they were taking up a vast amount of disk space and many were lost deep within the forum anyway. I removed the ability to attach files as we don't really have a use for them anyway.

There is the possibility of bugs, but we will get them sorted as the site matures. I'm not expecting anything major though... touch wood!

00pump and myself will update profiles, articles and cycles as we go, but you are welcome to email us any recommendations or point out errors we might have made. Doctari promised me today that he expects to return at the end of the year and he is bringing back the studies he did in the last two years when he were gone. He is not allowed to discuss any details regarding his research yet as it's still being reviewed. He mentioned though that it's going to turn every PCT theory on it's head and it's going to revolutionize male fertility treatment around the word. We will have the honor of publishing that info first on the internet.

I hope you enjoy our website and you are welcome to email me recommendations and questions.

Regards,
Admin

Nicely done! felt so deprived today without my usual tab open but well worth the wait, really looks great!

Wow, you converted that quickly! Ja i put some days in, no where near the time and frustration you have been through, but looking very mean and sleek and well worth the effort, thanks

Sweet

looking freakin awesum! Luving the new layout and look

Also quickly read a profile or two an scanned sum sample cycle's, Nicely written Admin and 00pump. Very discriptive and like the personal exp aspect to it.

A job well done i say.

Site is looking great. Love the new look and feel onf the forum. Very clean. I'm a developer as well so i can understand what must have went in to get this up and running. Well done. Big up's to all that were involved.

As for Pump.... all I can say is... GIVE THAT MAN A BELLS

Bravo guys!

The site looks fantastic!!!

Admin, i really dig the new photo's! Raided Sweets from heaven for some colour ehhh?

Really appreciate the effort Admin!!!

So what's the ETA on a mobi site. I probably spend 95% of my time on the forum off my BB and it would be nice to have that functionality.

Thanks guys looks awesome!

kick ass

any reason why i dont have an avatar anymore admin haha

Great work, the new site looks awesome

I have looked at making a mobile friendly template for the site and it's not that hard, however the forum is a problem because it contains allot of things that that will have to be crammed up into a very small viewing area. One solution is to make use of ajax menus for stuff like avatars, karma ect and only display the absolute necessary things like, username, subject and post text. Modifying the forum software myself to do this is impossible and will create allot of difficulties when upgrading and keeping the site secure, so the easiest and most reliable solution will be to program my own mobile forum solution that rides off the database currently being used... then install that in a sub domain like mobi.anabolicsteroids.co.za and detect a mobile visitor and automatically redirect him to the mobile site...

I will have to do some digging in the code to see how the site and forum handle sessions ect. This is a big task though and best would be to speak to the forum developers as they might be interested in getting an open source project started.

EDIT: vBulletin already have a mobile feature and I looked at migrating to a standalone forum, but getting the site and forum to share users is not so easy and there is no bridge available to do this reliably. As soon as you update something the entire thing needs to be modified again. Some site use database triggers to keep users between databases synced, but the beauty of this site is it's simplicity. This was intentionally done by me, because simpler is better. KISS - "Keep it simple, Stupid!"

Site is looking great! Thanx admin and pump (and everyone involved)

I have noticed that in the "Oral Primobolan & Proviron (Beginner lean mass cycle - Oral Only)" cycle, it says you need anavar and anavar, instead of primo and proviron. Little type o haha

Anyway, thanx for the great service you guys have and is still giving us!! Kudos to ye all

Thanks, we will fix that, keep reading an updating us on our mistakes

Have u guys considered using Tapatalk? It would be much easier than developing a mobi site.

Wow, this is a big suprise....fantastic look to it....

Thanks guys, good look......

One thing that i've noticed is after reading a new post or thread, when u go back it still says new ( stays green ). Is this just me?

Also another typo by intermediate lean mass and strength cycle, at the items needed list betasleep is in there.

Thanks

R-E-S-P-E-C-T

well done guys!!

Contact us section is missing DJ's details. I know allot of new guys joining will want to contact him.

The advanced Bulking/Strength Cycle (GH, DECA, Supertest etc) is missing Dianabol is the list of items needed.

Also... there used to be a locked sign next to a thread if it was locked... But that seems to have disappeared.

Thanks for the bug reports, guys.

Nice find, bones... I think that is a much more practical solution and will see what I can do. I don't think there is plugin for kunena, but maybe it's not to hard to code.
