Well, as you know, I have several web projects going now and instead of making a topic for each of them, I thought I'd make one topic with all the updates and any other information about my web development pursuits. Also, feel free to use this topic to comment on any of the projects and give ideas.
Removed From Game (http://removedfromgame.com/)
Description: Currently undergoing a major change. I plan on making this have links to all my other projects and just general information about me. Basically, it'll just be a simple personal site and I'll just be adding whatever I want to it. More info about it later.
Latest Update:
RFG Client (http://removedfromgame.com/cli2/)
Description: Houses artwork and links to things plus all sorts of little extra features. There's several things to do there than just browse the images. If you know how to use linux... or even DOS then you can find some stuff. Try talking to it. Memes. Anything. Lost? Ask for "help".
Latest Update:
- Added in a new command based on DJ's suggestion.
Image Uploader (http://img.removedfromgame.com/) *New
Description: Just a simple image uploader. Made to replace Imageshack for Omnimaga.org users and anyone else I give permission.
Latest Update:
- It's all up and running. Next is adding thumbnail support then a gallery.
I Can Has Ducky! (http://www.icanhasducky.com/) *Kinda new
Description: This was an old site I made that houses all the funny screen captures (screencaps) from the making of Megatokyo (http://megatokyo.com/). The artist draws the comic live online and occasionally goes off and draws random things and such. This site was made to show other fans who didn't get to watch the live drawing what they missed.
Latest Update:
- Haven't updated in over a year but I'm planning on reworking the entire gallery. It'll be more visually appealing and able to be searched through. Also, setting up a log-in for myself and some trusted mods to add to speed up editing/adding/deleting things uploaded.
Dynamic Userbars (http://userbars.removedfromgame.com/)
Description: A site that generates userbars with your own text that you specify in the URL so if you want to, say, update the progress of your project all you have to do is change the URL of the image instead of fixing it and reuploading it then changing it. Convenient! If you don't want to make to URL from scratch, then I included a generator. (This project was entirely just me testing out the GD library.)
Latest Update:
- No changes but I'm still looking for ideas if you have any.
Chat Logs [No link and no official name yet]
Description: This will be a site a lot like bash.org where anyone can start an account and add quotes and chat logs to the site and anyone can browse through them. It can take logs from several chat programs and will display them in a format much like the chat program it came from. Each user will be able to add any number of these logs and can delete them at will. I may also allow private logs and such. We'll see how this evolves.
Latest Update:
- Just in a testing phase. I have a screenshot of this version somewhere... I'll post it later.
Killed Projects:
Naruto Jiyuu [No link]
Description: This is a forum roleplaying site with the Naruto universe as the setting and it's own original storyline, characters, and roleplaying system. This project was started by a friend of mine and we currently have a team of 4 people working on it. Unfortunately, I'm the only coder of the bunch, but that just means they get to work on all the hard stuff like the story and system's details. I'll be modifying SMF to work with the system. There will be profiles for each user's characters, a database for all the jutsu with the forum system auto-linking the jutsu names in posts to the page with that jutsu's information, and... well... a lot more. This will easily be my biggest project.
Latest Update:
The team is currently designing the system that I'll have to code in later. There's a temporary Invisionfree version that's been up for years (where it was originally started) but it seriously sucks and has nothing to do with the version we're working on now.
*This project was killed off by the other team members officially 8/4/10.
Dragon Tavern: Boss Hunter (http://removedfromgame.com/DT/)
Description: This is evolving into a fansite for the casual browser RPG, Dragon Tavern (http://www.dragontavern.com/?ref=platemail-spotted-54). It was originally just going to be a place to record boss kills for bragging rights (and a way to practice interacting with MySQL using PHP more) and is going to become a full database of information and will host guides and such. I'm also talking with the admin of the game and seeing if I can get my site integrated into the official one a bit more. We'll see.
Latest Update:
Got rid of every table (yes, no <table>,<tr>, or <td> tags anywhere) and validated the site for XHTML 1.0 Strict and CSS on W3C. Man, I'm cool. =D
Other Updates
- Learned XHTML.
- Evolved past the need to use tables for formatting. =D
- Started getting my sites validated by W3C.
- Contacted the admin of Dragon Tavern in hopes to get added to the team to help develop the game. I haven't gotten approval yet, but I have a chance. I mostly just want the experience and have told them I'm willing to work for free because of it. Hope that helps~
-
nice :D
-
It's good that you aren't using tables anymore, they're really outdated. I remember using tables 10 years ago when I first learned html. O_o
-
Sadly I think some forum softwares (or mods) still use them. I don't mind if there are a few but I prefer divs since they're easier to customise
-
Well, thought I'd give some updates since I had a little time to have worked on the sites and plan some stuff. (First post is all updated.)
Summary:
- Removedfromgame.com (http://removedfromgame.com/) is being changed. If you want to check out the old linux client thing, it will remain up and updated here (http://removedfromgame.com/cli2/).
- Added in information about the image uploader, got rid of the Dragon Tavern site (it's still up but I've stopped playing the game and am not updating anymore), and made small changes to each site but nothing special.
- Cleaned up my server a bit. Got rid of the old Pokewalker guide that I mirrored from Serebii and other random files.
Finally, the next thing I plan on working on is either the thumbnail feature of the img uploader or the new RFG.com. Depends on what I feel like doing more. Might be done later tonight.

guest@rfg:/$ The Game
Unrecognized command. Type "help" for assistance.
:(
Nice to see some work on your web stuff. As for the img uploader, do you think I should add it to http://www.omnimaga.org/index.php?action=ezportal;sa=page;p=7 ?
-
If you'd like to. I did make it for omnimaga users and it is useful.
Still, that's up to you.
Also, I forgot about 'the game'... I'll have to add that in soon. =P
Added.
-
I definitely think it should be added.
Good Work! Only have any of you tried typing "help" yet?
-
Lol rickroll'd x.x
-
The rickroll has been in there for awhile. I'm surprised more people didn't try "help" before. ;P
Anyway, new project in the works. I'm not disclosing any major information on it now, but you can see a mock-up I made entirely in Photoshop from scratch. (the Text tool is a PAIN to use to make it look like tables) Yes, it's just an image consisting of 92 frames. x.x
Anyway, here it is.

Yeah, I know it's very pink... but it matches the character that I had to use the best and honestly makes for a pleasing color scheme that doesn't hurt the eyes and lets you easily see all information.
Don't worry, I'm not just starting up a random new project for no reason... I'm writing my own database scripts from scratch so it'll be great practice. Helps me work with mysql and gives me a chance to make my own search engine. (Not like Google... but an engine for searching through my own databases and such)
Anyway, off to start getting the design actually coded in and working.
-
That's really cool. Would using the guides help with the text tool and such? Just a thought.
By the way, that evolution chart makes me think of Pokemon :P
-
I made it a bit more red than pink now and I did have to use guides for most of it but it still wasn't easy. ^^;
Also, I have the banner, background, and navbar coded in properly now. Slowly getting this done.
And you'd be right about the Pokemon part. The site is for a Pokemon hack that really deserves more attention than it currently has. =P
-
Ah ok, nice. Thought guides might make it easier...hmm...oh well. What ever works :P
Ah ok. That would be the first hack I've seen with people evolving :P
-
Nice {AP}. You might want to hide the site from Genolo, though, else he'll hunt for lolis :O
