OtLand Update

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 time to help us make OtLand a great community.

The global moderators who resigned were Jester and Snel pUppie and we do like to thank them for their time they have been helping us.

The changes in the downloads board include a new board where data packs can be posted without executable files to reduce the risk of malicious software being posted there, and all unsupported distributions have been moved to a sub forum in the distributions board. If you are maintaining a distribution and you want it to be available in the distributions board, you can try to post it there and see if it will be approved but unless you have contributed a lot to OtLand it is not likely to be approved.

By the way, regarding the http://otland.net/f14/furys-new-body-competition-61188/. It is still open, and will remain open until we update to vBulletin 4.

Kind regards,
OtLand Staff.

When it's ready. Just wait, we can't give you a Release Date yet.

Whats the difference on vB 3.8.5 and vB 4? Any huge changes?

Everything

So this means if I would want to post a new distribution I need to do something for otland, or did I misunderstand something?

If you want to post a new distribution you have to be known in the community, have a good reputation (not reputation points). Contributing to the community is not essential for it to be approved, but it will increase your chances. If your distribution is using The Forgotten Server engine with customized data, please post it as a data pack instead.

I like this idea of using mainly TFS, it really will make all scripts compatible
vB 4 seems to be interesting Can't wait too...
