@allison @anemone I don't know. Not being able to use an input device when you don't have an internet connection seems like a pretty big deal.

@allison @anemone Apparently, I'm the only person who isn't picky when it comes to input devices (besides hating membrane keyboards).

I don't pay attention to the current trends of keyboard or mouse manufacturers, but ever since I've heard about Razer putting literal DRM in their mice, I've been sticking with either old or open-source input devices.

@allison @anemone If you're that cheap just get a used keyboard. I've been using a 2004 Mac Keyboard as my main for years.

@allison @anemone You could've gotten a Launch Lite from System76. It's similar to the one you got.

>it's things like changing the site itself

But most of those are done by actually changing the sites files on the server, which is either done through FTP, SSH, or direct (physical) access to the server, and those use completely different accounts. At least on forums, admins can create new subforums.

I could make the TOS, FAQ, and related pages editable through the admin panel, but I feel like only one person should be in control of that, and I am aware that a lot of sites have co-admins, but from my experience, they don't really seem to have a say in much and just do things under the blessing of the owner admin. So, they are basically elite moderators.

@beardalaxy @graf A browse mods page has now been implemented.

Here is a rough estimate of what still needs to be done:

* The ability to search for anything by title
* Pagination in the browse pages
* Edit game/mods page - Technically I finished it, but re-implementing the way screenshots work means that I have to modify it. I also need to create an edit page for mods as well.
* Delete game/mod script - Working on that right now. I need to make sure that deleting a game/mod also deletes the screenshots and other files
* Delete/ban user - Again need to make sure the deletion is a cascade.
* Admin control panel - This is a list on it's own. I need to make sure the admin has control of everything.
* Report tool - I have a report table in the database, but I haven't implemented reports yet.
* Client-side form validation - This is only for the benefit of the user. Basically, it's JavaScript that validates a form before sending it to the server so the user doesn't have to press the back button if they mess up
* The ability to change passwords
* User avatars
* Links on user profiles - Links to relevant social media, websites, and donation pages
* User comments - Haven't even started implementing them yet.
* User ratings - Haven't even started on this either
* Contact page - Either you or graf will need to set up email addresses to contact the site's staff
* Installation script - Finally, I will need to write a PHP script that will automatically create the database, the necessary file structure, and the first admin account.

Things I'm Considering:

* Moderators - Right now, there are only admins and standard users. I could add support for moderators, but I don't know what privileges they would have that admins won't. Admins can basically edit and delete any content along with banning any user. I feel like moderators would basically have the same privileges as admins in this case. On forums, the only difference is that moderators can't create boards or change ranks of other users. I don't know what the difference would be here.
* Forums - I could either have one forum per game/mod or have general forums for discussing things like game development, modding, or gaming in general. Though adding either of these would just add more complexity and more work for any admins or moderators. Maybe later if the site becomes an active place.

Take note that even though I have meager experience with back-end development, I was never an admin or moderator on any forum, blog, wiki, or any other community site, so my knowledge on this is quite limited.

Anyway, I plan on having this thing done by the end of next month, if not earlier.

@gabriel They can simulate entire worlds and universes and I can interact with them.
