Ok, so you might be wondering, “Hey, that guy was posting regular blog posts, then he just stopped, wtf?!?”.. Well, yes, I’ve stopped posting for a while, but it’s not because I’ve lost interest or quit or anything. It’s because I’ve been working behind the scenes re-coding the spot database from the ground up.

Just throwin’ it out there..

Anyways, I’ll start posting again soon, but until then, I’ll be coding. ;D

UPDATE(10/15/08): Lately I haven’t even been coding that much as I am uncertain on the direction I want to go with the spot database. Until I make up my mind, I don’t think much will get done on it. If anyone has any questions about the spot database, reguarding features etc. or just want to try it out; comment on this post, IM me, or hit up the contact page.

Yes, today marks sk8fever.com’s four year anniversary.

This blog may have only been open since the beginning of august, but it was part of a relaunch of sk8fever.com, which has been around for four years!

(more…)

Some new features have been added to the site and you may or may not have noticed.

The first feature is the forums, these new forums are integrated with the blog and the site so no new registration is needed, you can either use your blog username or post as a guest. There are only a few categories as to keep the forums simple and easy to use, more categories may be added in the future if needed.

The second addition to the site is the FeveRcam, this is a webcam that is randomly updated with images from FeveR HQ. Sometimes it will be images of the landscape, or other times it will act as a normal webcam, either showing what’s going on at FeveR HQ, or previews on upcoming features. You can see this in the sidebar.

As many of you may or may not know the Spot Database used to require login, as it was integrated with the sk8fever forums.  Well, in my decision to disable the forums I have been contemplating on how to deal with the Spot Database, and how to implement user submissions.  In the end I decided that anyone  should be able to submit or edit a spot, no registration of any kind needed.
 
You may think “well then how can I track my submissions?”, but as I also had that in mind there is now a field at the bottom of each submission/editing page where you enter your name.
 
Not only does this field serve as displaying you as the author, but it saves the name in a database.  Therefore, everytime the name is used, it’s submissions are recorded in the database alongside the name.  This is of course now active, so submit those spots!

The site is done but content is still being added so stay tuned for updates.
If you would like to be emailed about updates, have any ideas, or want help with the site Contact Us, and make sure to describe which of those in the email…

Some features include
-A detailed daily blog with media, coding tips, and weekly segments.
-A Spot Database with search and easy user submission.
-No registration or login required at any time.

Anyways, welcome to the site, and we hope you enjoy it!
