Wedge

Yeah, that's pretty much what I found, I just mostly wanted to check in case other countries did something funny.

(There is a reason I'm asking, you might have spotted in lurking in the screenshots of the new ban system.)

Can people give me a complete list of official GMail domains that can receive email, including GoogleMail domains? I kind of need this and I can't find it online thus far.

So far I have:
gmail.com
googlemail.com
gmail.de

Domains that are not GMail domains:
gmail.ru

I'm not actually expecting much more, just want to make sure I get the right ones.

Quick, name one other pure blogging platform out there that isn't WordPress.

Therein lies the challenge. WP is crap, of course, but there's a real shortage of other platforms that aren't hosted. Yes, there's MovableType but I'm still not sure how much of it actually requires Perl any more. Other than that... I'm struggling to think of any that you can actually host yourself on standard hosting.

On the other hand, there's a multitude of forum packages - off the top of my head, there's Wedge, SMF, MyBB, phpBB, PunBB, FluxBB, Vanilla, YaBB... *deep breath* IPB, vBulletin, XenForo, Woltlab Burning Board, WowBB *deep breath* and that's before getting into the likes of Joomla and Drupal's forum modules (the 'official' ones), or for that matter things like bbPress.

Much as I hate to legitimise it, http://www.forum-software.org/vote-for-best-forum-software-of-2012 lists a lot of software.[1]

1.

I don't like legitimising it because it's not about the software, things like that are simply about how many people shout it from the rooftops, and you have people like the MyBB fanboys who are about as bad as the Apple fanboys in shouting down opposition and ignoring the truth. They're not all that bad, but all the ones I've had the misfortune to encounter are.

Message:
! Added new type for settings in the admin panel: percent. Using much the same code as the profile/issue warning template, it's now possible to add a shiny draggable selector for settings. Also added a note to the profile to say that if it is changed, the admin equivalent should possibly be touched too. I would note this isn't really finished, but I wanted to get a 'working' version committed. It isn't pretty at all at the code level, but it does support multiple selectors per page, too. I totally didn't need this for my new ban system or anything. (plugin-info.rng, ManageServer.php, ManageSettings.php, Admin.template.php)

Sure... the problem is that there are people who have it in their head that OOP is the 'answer to everything' and anything that isn't fully OOP is fundamentally wrong. Mind you, there are plenty of other issues to address in the free space first...

Not really :P

Seriously, I'm not saying it would be better or worse, just that as it stands I'm reminded strongly of Nike, and vaguely (when prompted) of Amazon, not of anything forum related.
