Hello OtLanders!

Recently there has been some complaints about us moderators doing a weak job in our moderation, the forum is growing, and we might miss a few threads which contain insults, threats, negative/childish arguing.

But the staff, just as much as you, want a good, friendly community here at OTland.

So I post this thread to teach you how to give us a helping hand.

There is a report button, next to every post in a thread. It looks like this...

 

Due to the tragic accident near Smolensk, Russia, where Polish president, Lech Kaczyński together with his wife, Maria and part of government staff (including most of Polish Army chief generals, priests) lost their lives due to aeroplane crash we, OtLand staff want to share the pain with you, as there are many of you between us. 96 people were flying on government's Tupolev 154M, all of them died.

Most of you just won't understand it, because you don't know what Katyn is and what Katyn...

 

Although most of you would have expected this to be the update to vBulletin 4, we are not quite there yet. We are still working on it, but we can not really estimate when it will be ready. However, we have been working on another smaller update which was just applied.

This update includes bug fixes, changes to the downloads board and changes to our staff. All the previous board moderators were promoted to global moderators, while two of our global moderators have resigned due to lack of...

 

I thought I'd let everyone know the benefits of becoming a donator, and tell you what we're going to use the money for.

Since we don't have any annoying advertisements that we get paid for displaying, this is the only way we can get money to improve OtLand. We prefer to not add any annoying advertisements on our forum since we know how much everyone hates them, we are not trying to make money for ourselves but to keep OtLand alive and to improve OtLand. The money we get by donations will be...

 

The staff recruitment board has finally been closed for this time. Unfortunately I have not had enough free time to leave comments in all the threads, but I didn't really base my decisions on what was written in the threads but more on contributions from the user, their activity in the section they applied for and their reputation (no, not reputation points) on the forum.

The new moderators are:

• Archez
  • Community category, Downloads section
• Feloth
  • Downloads...

 

Hello folks.

When I went trough the forum, I have seen some nasty avatars around here, these are mostly sexuality (*where sex organs are fully being shown*) and gruesome tinted avatars. These images aren't appropriate to be on a public forum like OTLand where everyone can have access to.
The same applies to images posted in a thread.

If you would see any sort of those avatars I mentioned then you should report them right away with the report function and we will take care of it...

 

In the past days, I've cought members posting infected files, it wasn't any common trojan/virus. They did not get infracted/banned, but please scan your files before posting the download links to avoid infractions/banishment.

Kind regards,
Otland Staff.

 

It's finally time to start to look for new staff members again, after demoting some of our inactive staff members. If you are interested in helping us out, please post an application in this board: http://otland.net/f398/. There is no specific template on how your post should look, you are free to structure it as you like and provide what information you feel is necessary for us to know.

We'd like to thank the following users for being with us for a long time and helping us to keep...

 

Last year at 28th May, OtLand's birthday, we had approximately 10,000 registered users and at that time, we didn't expect to have more than 20,000 members by now. But as you can see on our user count, we have managed to reach over 40,000 users! This pretty much proves that OtLand has grown faster this year than in the first year, and it's still growing :thumbup:!

We'd like to thank everyone for still being around and supporting us. Especially the Donators, we've received a lot of...

Hello!

As mentioned in this announcement, we promised you some updates to OtLand. We've just started with those updates now, but instead of applying all the updates at once we will apply changes from time to time so we can receive decent feedback from you members for the changes we make.

Today the Mapping board was moved from the Art section to the OpenTibia section and a subforum named Competitions was created. The arcade scores have been reseted to give other members a chance to...

 

Otland staff wish you all happy Easter and we hope you enjoy your free day(s)!
If you haven't noticed yet, the logo of Otland has changed to a Easter theme. ^_^

Happy first April .

 

It has been a while since I last posted an announcement, that is because I've been busy with many other things. It's time to focus on keeping OtLand up to date again.

Today we updated all our outdated plugins such as vBSEO, and we also purchased the vBulletin Blog plugin. You can use it as a personal blog, or group blog together with other members if you're developing a project and want to post teasers etc. Blogs can be found here: http://otland.net/blogs/. It will be possible to...
