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!

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.
