The software running this portion of the PlatinumGeneration website has been upgraded once again.

There won’t be any significant changes to the external appearance of the site; however, the backend is much improved and will be useful moving forward.

There are still plans to move PlatinumGeneration forward both with the forums and the main website, but they have come to an almost standstill, not unlike previous attempts.  It will take a good deal of time to get back into a position where the site can move forward, as well as establishing who, what and where we want PlatinumGeneration to be within the next couple of years.  I certainly appreciate you staying with us through this rough patch and hope that you will give us a hand in moving the site forward during the coming months.

Thanks for your time,

Hey All,

Please excuse the recent dead time on the site, I’ve been focusing and working every hard on finishing up my Bachelor’s for Business Management.  I’m also now going to be almost immediately starting my Masters program, and as such will likely be somewhat distracted over the coming months; however, with some newfound time to sit down and work on things, I will be spending some time in the coming days upgrading the PGen forums, and the software that runs this website.

I’m also hoping to see some changes made with regards to site -> forum interaction.  I know there is a bridge out there that can bridge the software running this site to the software running PGen’s forums, and I’m strongly considering utilizing that to improve this site exponentially in terms of news posting and on-site interaction.  This will also make it incredibly easy to establish the many portions of the PGen Website I have waited years to put into place.  If this manages to materialize properly, we could be looking at a whole new PGen (I know, those of you that have been here for a while also know, that this very statement has been mentioned before, and I’m hoping there’s a lot more credence to it this time around…).

Desperately hoping to have more news for you all soon!

Chris

Update 11/14/08: While the forum software has still to be upgraded, the software used to run this site has been upgraded to the latest version.  This doesn’t offer any significant features to note, more back-end security fixes; however, this is an important step forward for PGen in our attempt to get back into the world of the living.

This is just a note to mention that the Forums and the software running this main site have been upgraded to their respective latest versions.  Several major changes have been rolled out on the forums, whilst nothing major has changed here on the main site.  Check out the post in the Announcements forum for more information on all of the newest features available!

Thanks for your time,

Chris

Hi All,

Just a quick note to mention that the forums will soon be upgraded to the latest stable version of vBulletin as soon as we are finished updating the templates to ensure compatibility.  This will open up new features for users as well as staff members and will allow for a more user-friendly experience.

Thanks for your time,

Chris

Hi All,

Just a quick note to mention that we’ve upgraded to the latest version of the blog software that runs the main site here.

There are no changes of note to users, as this is simply a bug-fix release and focuses more on security than anything.

Thanks for your time,

Chris

Hi All,

Because of the volume of SPAM accounts showing up at the moment, I’ve been in the process of deleting every user besides Xero and myself, as the vast majority have been your run of the mill SPAM accounts.

I would like to note that if you made a REAL account on this system, and it was deleted with the others, please contact me through the forums and I will make sure that your account is not deleted again in the future. Again, this is only for genuine, no-spam accounts.

Thanks for your time,

Chris

Hello, and welcome to PlatinumGeneration.net!

As you can see, I have taken the initiative to create a blog skin to match the forums’ default skin, PureGen (originally created by James).

As Chris said, this blog is only the beginning. We are constantly discussing ways to better PlatinumGeneration.net and there will be much more in the future, including more interactivity with the community on a whole.

Very soon this blog will be bursting with content from our contributers. But you don’t have to wait until then! Join our forums! We’re always discussing something, and are always open to ideas from the community!

Remember, these are only the beginning stages. The PlatinumGeneration reboot is underway, so stay tuned!

Hi all, and welcome to the new face of PlatinumGeneration!

After some debate amongst the Administrators and Developers, it has been decided to open up PlatinumGeneration’s main website once again, in the form of a WordPress-powered website.  That doesn’t mean that we’re going to be a blog-site; however, it will be a predominant feature at least for the immediate feature.  As time rolls on, we will continue to develop and roll-out new sections of the website for you all to enjoy.

Please excuse the initial mess, as we are working to establish a new design, and are currently only left with the WordPress defaults.  We will fix this as soon as is humanly possible.

Thanks for your time,

Chris
