Sinisterly is now 12 years old! I originally started the forum August 18th, 2012. I'd like to thank everyone for sticking around this long. Special thanks to everyone that's contributed over the years. "12 Years of Service" will begin to show on people's profiles soon. We'll be running the same giveaways we did last year, as people seemed to enjoy those.

Some giveaways:

About mothered:
It's been about 1 year since mothered disappeared. He was an excellent staff member and friend. Despite efforts of staff/members, there is no new information about his disappearance. With the lack of information, we're unable to suggest a reason for his disappearance. The site would not be where it is without him, so I hope he is alive and well (wherever he is).

There was a small issue with the upgrade page, where NSP would not be charged for upgrades in specific scenarios. Some people were also missing their Gold award. This has now been corrected. Since this issue was only present for a certain amount of time, very few were impacted. I have given most people the benefit of a doubt and reduced people's NSP accordingly. There were a couple people that took advantage of this, and have since been banned or had their NSP reset.

Extra thanks to the person who reported this. With the scale of the board, it's sometimes easy for things to go unnoticed/unreported.

Happy New Year everyone! 2023 was an interesting year. Wishing everyone an excellent 2024. Have fun and stay safe.

PS: We were down 1-2 hours due to outage/DNS changes.


Don't drink and drive. Uber is cheaper than a DUI.

While I've always pushed for freedom of speech/information, we're making some moves to disallow certain content in the marketplace. I have no issues with people talking about their experiences or sharing information, but I do not want the forum to be affiliated with certain transactions. While I understand people dislike these changes, they are to ensure we are able to stay online in the future.

These sorts of threads are strictly prohibited and will be removed going forward:

• Refund Services
  
• Open Up Services
  
• Combo Lists
  
• Stolen Accounts
  
• Private Databases
  

While we have already been cracking down on these sorts of threads in the past, we will be much stricter in the future. We may sell ads/stickies for 3rd party sites or other platforms, but our goal is to prohibit any of these transactions from taking place on the forum. For those that are only interested in the content we're removing, I suggest seeking another forum (there are plenty).

Thanks for understanding.

Recent surges in BTC fees have led to more requests to use other cryptocurrencies for upgrades and ads.

As always, feel free to message if you have questions or need help.

Sinisterly is now 11 years old! I originally started the forum August 18th, 2012. It's been a long road, so I'd like to thank everyone that's stuck around. We'll be doing some more giveaways over the course of this month. "Eleven Years of Service" should start appearing for those of you that have been around from the very start. We'll probably have to update the "Years of Service" plugin, as we originally only designed it for 10-12 years.

Some of you might have noticed, but the current UID is above 250,000. That means we've passed 250,000 registrations. To lessen the load on the database (and thwart the efforts of skids), I've decided to purge accounts based on a few parameters.

Your account will be deleted if it falls under either of these conditions:

• You have 0 posts and have been registered more than a year.
  
• Your account is unactivated and was registered more than 90 days ago.
  

If your account was deleted, but you would like to continue using the forum - simply register again.


Thanks for understanding.

A small number of people had their accounts/upgrades wiped. This only happened to people with low post counts that registered/upgraded in the last 2 weeks.

Some posts were lost, but if you had upgrades you are welcome to make a new account and PM me. Simply give me the transaction receipt from before and I'll know who you are.

Had to perform an unexpected server migration this morning, so we were down a few hours earlier. Right now I'm sorting out some minor incompatibilities with plugins (newer PHP version). The site should function normally for the most part, although there are issues with Alerts/Mentioning/Quick Edit. Planning to have most issues ironed out today.
