PHP-Games

"If you are into php game development this is the place to be, our forums are clean, easy and user friendly. We offer game owners and their clients a place to talk about the games and game engines they love and play. Each registered game engine has its own unique folder,where developers are free to express themselves without worrying about staff censoring comments they dont like. We offer an unbiased medium where players and game developers can express points of view on in game issues. Our administration and moderation staff are mature and active individuals dedicated to respecting everyones right to free thought.

A big section is geared towards game programming particulary for the mccode game engine. Over 500 free modifications are available for this game engine alone. New game engines like Horizons and Pardiowars have each their dedicated board also.

With private clan folders, special areas for game development and advertising, as well as advance notice of upcoming beta testing positions, we have something for everyone. And we are not done yet...things still to come include an onsite arcade.

We already have close to 15,000 registered members with approximately 300,000 hits per day. Most of our forums are open to non registered viewers with the exception of a few special areas. We aspire to make php-games "THE NAME" on every mmog player's lips."

CE Revamp Move

September 11, 2009, 03:02:12 PM by mdshare

Tomorrow we will most likely redirect CE to the new board.

You will have to request a new password to be able to login.

The system will send you 2 mails, first one for the password reset. Second one with a new password generated by the system which you can change afterwards.

If you have any problems we will be present at our chat which is also implemented on the new board and that can be accessed as guest.

Not everything will be functional yet, and some posts of the past days on CE will not be transfered.

Nickson aka Templar

Some notable changes will be a scripts vault for members where free mods can also be uploaded to as zip, tar

Also less advertising banners on the board itself and a new advertising system will be introduced which will have a much higher impact than the classic banner advertising.

Thanks,

CE Team

Hi,

I suggest every game owners / programmers or people thinking about creating / owning their own game to read this interview http://phpgamespace.com/interview-with-danny696-a-passionate-game-player as it certainly contains a few things we do all need to think about while creating our game.

Enjoy!

Strong enforcement of the rules.

September 02, 2009, 11:38:24 AM by a_bertrand

Maybe you have seen it maybe not, but we started a strong campaign against any rules breaking. I personally removed a lot of posts and even a few threads due to either bad words, bad answer, off topic answers, copyright infringements and others.

I even raised the warning level of a user for some good reason, and the poor soul now cannot post anything without prior acceptance of a moderator. Of course if he change his mind / way to act he will be freed after a while.

Why do we do that? Because we believe it's time to change the mood of this forums. There is a lot of great people here, a lot of good ideas and a lot of web games (good or less so). Now still, we do had the bad habit to answer in rude ways if not directly flame somebody and the effect if those behaviors are that new users may run away as soon as they see that such things are allowed here.

As we do want to improve the overall quality of the forum, the number of skilled people participating, and the overall quality of the posts we will be very strict and check basically every post (if nothing slip between the controls). You can help too, first by act in a positive way, second report what you believe is not good  / acceptable (and provide a reason why you think so).

Sincerely,

Alain Bertrand

Global Rules

September 01, 2009, 03:46:35 AM by mdshare

• OBSCENE LANGUAGE: While we do not expect everyone to speak like an angel, we will not tolerate language that, in our discretion, is considered vulgar and/or obscene. The use of such language, whether or not you consider it vulgar, is not acceptable. This includes its use in casual and public speech, racial links, ESP contacts, or even in a character's name. A good rule of thumb would be what one might hear on prime-time television. However, it will always be up to our discretion.
• HARASSMENT: Continual unwarranted verbal harassment, or unprovoked harassment via character action, is not tolerated. Any user going out of their way to harass another user through the use of the forums, or private messages, can and will be punished.
  Please note that scrolling (continual filling of the screen with text simply for the sake of annoyance) falls under harassment. This can be a gray area and we try to be lenient towards a greater freedom of expression due to the inherent conflicts and backgrounds between our users races. This, however, does not give the user license to say anything that they want (even if it is not considered obscene) as often as they want, to another user.
  'Verbal Harassment' -'Mind <censored>' - Using words and mannerisms toward another user to convey unwanted sexually suggestive actions. Ok, this is a definite gray area and we try to be lenient towards a greater freedom of expression due to the inherent conflicts and backgrounds between our user races, but this does not give the user license to say anything that they want (even if it is not considered obscene) as often as they want, to another user.
• REPRESENT YOURSELF AS AN EMPLOYEE/STAFF: This includes  faking staff email addresses, and faking staff messenger service names. Any user who does this in any form may, and probably will, be locked out of any and all Makephpgames.com products forever.
• STAFF HARASSMENT:
  Continual abuse of the assist command, the report command, or harassment of a staff member through any means is not allowed. Punishments may vary from short lockouts to give a user time to cool off to permanent lockouts in extreme cases. Please note that ?staff fishing? (going to different staff members for help with the same issue until you get an answer you like) is strictly considered harassment and will be punished.
• PORNO OR OTHER ADULT ONLY MATERIAL: Contains highly explicit or graphic descriptions or accounts of sexual acts, including but not limited to sexual language of a violent or threatening nature, directed at another individual or group of individuals, particularly when unsolicited is not allowed and will be punished as well.
• VIOLENCE: Depicts violence in a gratuitous manner, without journalistic or artistic merit, primarily intended to agitate or cause emotional distress is not something we want to see. Avoid it or face the consequences.
• VIRUS / TROJAN AND OTHER MALWARES: We will block and report any attempt to send files containing or facilitating the transfer of software viruses or any other computer code, files or programs designed to interrupt, destroy or limit the functionality of any computer software, hardware or telecommunications equipment.
• ILLEGAL BEHAVIORS: We will punish and report people which advertise illegal causes/ideas/materials/etc or incites illegal activity, such as instructional information on how to build a bomb or make counterfeit money. As well as any other activities deemed illegal by staff.
• COPYRIGHT INFREGEMENT: We will punish and report to the owners whoever infringes anyone else's intellectual property rights, including, but not limited to, any copyright, trademark, rights of publicity, rights of privacy, or other proprietary rights.
• ELITE (LEET / L337) SPEAK: SMS talk, or elite talk is not something we really want in our boards. It will not be strongly punished, but please keep in mind that not all are English native speakers and therefore we would like to keep the text readable by as many as possible. In extreme cases this rule will be enforced to the fullest of any other rule however.
• THREAD BUMPING: Everyone wants to get as much exposure as possible, and we do believe that from time to time it?s useful to bump a thread, however don?t wake up very old threads, nor spam to be kept on top. A bump once in a while is fine, more is not. If we spot such activity we will simply delete the thread, and if we see you continue such activity we may even block your account. A good time-frame for thread bumping is leaving at least 48 hours between bumps, however given good reason posting more often will be acceptable.
• MULTIPLE THREADS ON THE SAME SUBJECT: Don?t post the same thing over more than one forum / category. This is just annoying and will be considered as spam and all threads by said user on the subject will be removed. This can also result in possible further punishments depending on the case.
• MULTI-POST: Try to edit your posts if possible, and only reply to yourself if at least 24 hours has passed between your last post and now, or if, for whatever reason, you cannot edit the last post. If doing it for the latter reason please leave a message in the post stating such to prevent accidental punishment.
• ADVERTISEMENT / SPAM: We are all interested in driving more traffic to our own projects; however there is ways to do it, rules to follow and especially right places to advertise your work. Spam/Advertisements in the wrong sections or other peoples thread will be removed. In the case of other peoples thread this will be case based and if given permission by the thread starter it may be acceptable if all other rules are followed.
• CATEGORY RULES: Some category may have specific rules, like thread tags requirements or other. Please read the sticky category rule and fulfill them, if any.
• BE CONSTRUCTIVE: If possible, instead of ?flaming? somebody, be constructive. For example instead of saying ?your site sucks!?, say what you really don?t like and what could be done to improve it. That will help everyone, and make the community more friendly.

CE News

August 31, 2009, 09:42:40 AM by mdshare

The CE Network will return to myself this week, was planned for today but ok seems it will take a bit longer.

The reason herefor will not be discussed unless shedh will.

A new structure and most likely a short downtime might happen also. But not sure yet depends on the portability to a new forum engine I like a lot.

Thank You

~CE Network~
