Title: But we aren't hosted by lightfyre
Post by: joeshmo on April 01, 2006, 03:37:26 pm
Lightfyre no longer exists! I think we should get rid of the things that say: Hosted by lightfyre and
Lightfyre, simply the best hosting
At the top of our page. In fact, you are hosted by dizinc.com

I used to be hosted by lightfyre, but they are gone.

Its part of the skin so deal with it.

No, I dont have to deal with it because it can be changed easily.

True, you can just take out the text with ease... if they want to they'll do it when they have time

Well why not now?
Title: Re: But we aren't hosted by lightfyre
Post by: Penguin on April 01, 2006, 05:55:35 pm
I think leaving lightfyre at the title is good, because it reminds us about which hosting ZFGC ran on in the past.
Title: Re: But we aren't hosted by lightfyre
Post by: joeshmo on April 01, 2006, 05:56:38 pm
Er... Lightfyre no longer exists though, its like a fake ad. Its also misleading.

Not neccesarily.  Maybe someone should recreate lightfyre?
Title: Re: But we aren't hosted by lightfyre
Post by: Limey on April 01, 2006, 06:02:24 pm
No, it should be removed, why keep it if it doesnt exist and we dont use it? XD
Title: Re: But we aren't hosted by lightfyre
Post by: joeshmo on April 01, 2006, 06:04:38 pm
No... When brad had lightfyre, he never took care of it after zfgc left. I think it was a highspeed connection, its illegal to host websites on a highspeed. He needed a T1. It closed without any warning or backups, no letter of apology was givin to the hosties. So no, it can't be recreated, nor do I want it to.

Ok, ya I agree.  But how do you use dizinc.com to host?  I registered but I can't figure out how to use it.

I have no clue actually. Its one of their name servers I believe.
Title: Re: But we aren't hosted by lightfyre
Post by: NeoGeo-x on April 01, 2006, 06:28:13 pm
Is it really that freaking important?

Besides, just adblock the lightfyre-logo if it bothers you so much.

Hmmm.  Well this sucks XD.
Title: Re: But we aren't hosted by lightfyre
Post by: joeshmo on April 01, 2006, 06:30:16 pm
Theres no point in adblocking it, its false advertisement. It just shouldnt be there.
Title: Re: But we aren't hosted by lightfyre
Post by: NeoGeo-x on April 01, 2006, 06:33:33 pm
As I said, what does it matter...having it up there doesn't do harm to anyone. It doesn't take money from people, it doesn't hurt your eyes and doesn't slow down your browser. I'm sure the banner will be removed eventually, though I don't see any reason to do it right *this* instant.
Title: Re: But we aren't hosted by lightfyre
Post by: joeshmo on April 01, 2006, 06:49:00 pm
I don't see any reason to NOT do it right this instant.
Title: Re: But we aren't hosted by lightfyre
Post by: Drew on April 01, 2006, 06:52:35 pm
LMAO joeshmo you make me laugh man, just your attitude, makes me laugh :P
The reason we can't is because there are no Admins on... and there haven't been all day so far... so we'll ahve to wait ;)
Title: Re: But we aren't hosted by lightfyre
Post by: joeshmo on April 01, 2006, 07:07:21 pm
Hmmm... No admins...

/me gets an evil idea

Just kiddin. I really dont see why none are on though. It seems like there should be. I can wait, it just ticks me off that my old hosting company is being endorsed by something I actually like!

I got a better proposal for you. Why don't you leave and come back when Metal or someone else edits the banner out of the skin? It's not really that easy to remove the banner from the skin, unless you have decent experience with those things. Chill man, and spend your time at something useful instead.
Title: Re: But we aren't hosted by lightfyre
Post by: metallica48423 on April 01, 2006, 08:43:21 pm
someone would need to make a version of the banner without the lightfyre part in it...  I have no graphical editing skills.

and Joeshmoe: I do have a job, i do work for a living, i can't be on 24/7/365
Title: Re: But we aren't hosted by lightfyre
Post by: joeshmo on April 01, 2006, 09:53:36 pm
I didnt say you had to be on 24/7. There should just be an admin on usually. Not EVERYONE works 24/7. Also, my name has no E after it. You dont even have to "edit out" the banner. Just delete the logo_right.png. It looks fine. I dont think layout editing is too hard.
Title: Re: But we aren't hosted by lightfyre
Post by: AleX_XelA on April 01, 2006, 09:59:03 pm
Hey metallica and NeoGeo-x both have a point! Cut him some slack joeshmo. Don't forget that he has 2 forums to deal with and a private life to attend.
Justin, you may also want to remove this whenever you can :

Thats another reason adblock doesnt work here.
Title: Re: But we aren't hosted by lightfyre
Post by: bob23 on April 01, 2006, 10:10:53 pm
Best topic ever!

I have an idea! joeshmo should re-make the banner for metallica....
Title: Re: But we aren't hosted by lightfyre
Post by: joeshmo on April 01, 2006, 10:28:12 pm
Only one part of the banner is a problem. The one that says: Lightfyre, simply the best hosting.
Title: Re: But we aren't hosted by lightfyre
Post by: bob23 on April 01, 2006, 10:29:38 pm
I know. Remake "right.gif" so that it fits in with the rest of the image.
Title: Re: But we aren't hosted by lightfyre
Post by: Kleaver on April 01, 2006, 10:47:07 pm
It would be nice to keep it in, but with like...something else instead of Lightfyre, cuz it looks kick-ass with this skin ^_^
Title: Re: But we aren't hosted by lightfyre
Post by: joeshmo on April 01, 2006, 10:57:41 pm
/me has shifty eyes

I'm not great at image editing, Yeah it does look good but its false advertisement. You can just get rid of it
Title: Re: But we aren't hosted by lightfyre
Post by: bran371 on April 01, 2006, 11:13:59 pm
The background of the ad looks awesome though. We should be able to get rid of the text and leave the the background there.

Then again, I don't really care...
Title: Re: But we aren't hosted by lightfyre
Post by: inverder on April 02, 2006, 12:43:20 am
guys seriously give metal a break, the forum is back up, worry about the graphics later...
Title: Re: But we aren't hosted by lightfyre
Post by: joeshmo on April 02, 2006, 12:46:18 am
I wasn't pressuring metal to do anything. Not immediatly anyway. Actually I was. Its not that hard... Delete right.gif, thats it.
Title: Re: But we aren't hosted by lightfyre
Post by: gm112 on April 02, 2006, 12:46:30 am
who cares if its there...like somebody said in a past post that the logo reminds all of us the old smf zfgc besides it goes good with the title
Title: Re: But we aren't hosted by lightfyre
Post by: joeshmo on April 02, 2006, 12:47:37 am
Not really. lightfyre is DOWN now. False advertisement and such.
Title: Re: But we aren't hosted by lightfyre
Post by: gm112 on April 02, 2006, 12:50:39 am
like anyone cares? we can pretend it still exists :)

EDIT: how about you just block the image? thats better and umm... alot of people like it there(i think)
Title: Re: But we aren't hosted by lightfyre
Post by: joeshmo on April 02, 2006, 12:52:32 am
No we cant. Its like me advertising GA.com if it no longer exists. Plus, lightfyre is just plain evil. They closed without warning and stuff
Title: Re: But we aren't hosted by lightfyre
Post by: Pyro on April 02, 2006, 12:53:25 am
Then dont go to it if you dont like it...and if you dont like it..change the skin >_>
Title: Re: But we aren't hosted by lightfyre
Post by: joeshmo on April 02, 2006, 12:55:40 am
No, none of you get the point. ADVERTISING A FAKE WEBSITE IS STUPID! It just is. Posting links to pages that dont exist is just stupid.
Title: Re: But we aren't hosted by lightfyre
Post by: gm112 on April 02, 2006, 12:56:33 am
deal with it joeshmo... change your skin if you think its stupid nobody really cares about it being a broken link
Title: Re: But we aren't hosted by lightfyre
Post by: Pyro on April 02, 2006, 12:57:06 am
omfg stfu...Okay...it was there from the skin....he just imported the skin into the forums..he never edited...SO STFU UNTILL HE CHANGES IT! OR CHANGE YOUR DAMN SKIN! ITS ONLY ON THE DAMN DARK BLUE SKIN! SO CHANGE IT AND STOP WHINING!
Title: Re: But we aren't hosted by lightfyre
Post by: Piers on April 02, 2006, 12:58:59 am
I agree with Pyro. It reminds us plus compliments the skin at the same time.
Title: Re: But we aren't hosted by lightfyre
Post by: joeshmo on April 02, 2006, 12:59:38 am
/me sences a flame war.

Stop being stupid! Did you even read my post?

ADVERTISING FAKE WEBSITES IS STUPID
Title: Re: But we aren't hosted by lightfyre
Post by: Pyro on April 02, 2006, 01:00:16 am
Okay then, If you think its stupid...THEN LEAVE THE FORUMS! NO ONE CARES WHAT YOU THINK!
Title: Re: But we aren't hosted by lightfyre
Post by: gm112 on April 02, 2006, 01:00:53 am
joeshmo stfu...go change your skin or something before the entire forum flames you
Title: Re: But we aren't hosted by lightfyre
Post by: joeshmo on April 02, 2006, 01:01:49 am
Pyro, flaming is the most immature thing a person can EVER do. EVER. I'm not going to leave the forums. You don't even understand what the hell I'm saying so stay out of my topic. If you don't like me, stay out of my topics!
Title: Re: But we aren't hosted by lightfyre
Post by: Piers on April 02, 2006, 01:02:20 am
WRITING BIG DOES NOT MAKE YOUR POST BETTER
If I was a mod I'd lock this topic right now....
Title: Re: But we aren't hosted by lightfyre
Post by: joeshmo on April 02, 2006, 01:03:33 am
Look, I never said writing big makes my post any bigger. It just seems some people have problems seeing the actual ideas that I post and want to flame me for no reason. Funny how that works, isnt it?
Title: Re: But we aren't hosted by lightfyre
Post by: Pyro on April 02, 2006, 01:03:54 am
-_- Omg dude, I didnt want to flame, but you being such a dumbass..Okay if you didnt like the image being there, you didnt have to make a WHOLE damn topic...You should have just PMed Metallica...Instead of making a topic that all you can do is whine about how "Stupid advertising fake sites" is....
Title: Re: But we aren't hosted by lightfyre
Post by: Piers on April 02, 2006, 01:04:57 am
Ok, if you don't like it don't look at it. The end.

joeshmo your asking for it...*FLAME WAR!!!*your going to get flammed outta here..oh and btw joeshmo STFU AND GET THE !@#$% OUT OF HERE YOU LITTLE ANNOYING !@#$%!
Title: Re: But we aren't hosted by lightfyre
Post by: joeshmo on April 02, 2006, 01:06:24 am
But it is stupid. And theres no reason NOT to make a topic. Also there is no reason to tell me how stupid I am. I am not whining, simply stating facts.
Title: Re: But we aren't hosted by lightfyre
Post by: gm112 on April 02, 2006, 01:07:42 am
in about a hour youll be flammed outta here by the forums i bet you any money AND pyro was right STFU and PM metal instead of taking your bs to the public
Title: Re: But we aren't hosted by lightfyre
Post by: Pyro on April 02, 2006, 01:08:29 am
You know...If I was a mod, I would have either Locked this, or Moved it to spam..because thats what its just turning into...like Piers said..If you dont like it...dont look at it...Like..How does it affect you? Does it effect how you browse? Does it affect your social life? Does it cause any deaths? Is it important? NO! SO STFU! AND STOP COMPLAINING ABOUT THE DAMN IMAGE THATS UP IN A CORNER THAT NOONE PAYS ATTENTION TO!
Title: Re: But we aren't hosted by lightfyre
Post by: gm112 on April 02, 2006, 01:09:48 am
i'd do the same as pyro  also maybe metal should hear about htis.
Title: Re: But we aren't hosted by lightfyre
Post by: joeshmo on April 02, 2006, 01:10:28 am
/me laughs.

I'm sorry, but this is really funny.  Two little kids are trying to flame me out of the forums. I'm not going to flame you back, its immature. Why create a flame war out of a simple matter of removing an image and some text? Its really not that hard what I'm asking.
Title: Re: But we aren't hosted by lightfyre
Post by: Pyro on April 02, 2006, 01:12:08 am
Okay listen..for one im not a little kid, 2 stfu please your just making yourself look like a dumbass,3 stop whining, 4 if you dont like how metallica is running this place...sue him...and 5 stop spamming...
Title: Re: But we aren't hosted by lightfyre
Post by: gm112 on April 02, 2006, 01:13:35 am
and im not no little kid neither.joeshmo you sound like a immature brat
Title: Re: But we aren't hosted by lightfyre
Post by: joeshmo on April 02, 2006, 01:16:27 am
I'm sorry pyro, but I dont quite understand your post. Am I making myself look like a dumbass by not being immature and flaming you back? I'm also not aware that I'm whining, I'm simply stating that I dont like it, its easy to fix. I do like how metallica is running the place. I just dont like an ad for a fake website. I'm not spamming either, its really you thats spamming. Look at your posts and see what I mean.
Title: Re: But we aren't hosted by lightfyre
Post by: gm112 on April 02, 2006, 01:17:28 am
DUDE YOU ARE WHINNING! YOU WHINNED FOR THE LAST 4 PAGES! YOU SHOULD BE BANNED FOR THAT!! BECAUSE THATS JUST PURE SPAM IDIOT!
Title: Re: But we aren't hosted by lightfyre
Post by: joeshmo on April 02, 2006, 01:19:06 am
What the heck GM. How long have you been on zfgc? Typing in all caps is not cool. Despite what you have learned, caps lock really is NOT a cruise control for cool. Please stop flaming.
Title: Re: But we aren't hosted by lightfyre
Post by: Pyro on April 02, 2006, 01:20:17 am
...LMAO!!!! Your not whining? Okay..then what are these 4 pages of? It took you 4 pages to simply state that? I dont think so...and if you dont like the "fake advertising" there, then start your own forums and stfu, maybe Metal wants to leave it there, maybe he doesnt, but it doesnt matter, hes not focusing on the skins, hes more focused on running the forums, hes not worried about some little picture that no one pays attention to....what are you gonna start to complain about next? the other advertisments? Oh and btw, its not "fake" its old....the sites not up anymore, doesnt mean its fake, it means, ITS NOT UP AND RUNNING...!@#$% your a dumbass..anyways im gonna leave this topic now because im just wasting my time on a dumbass....
Title: Re: But we aren't hosted by lightfyre
