@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.

The U.S. Embassy in Russia warned Americans to avoid large crowds for 48 hours, ahead of Crocus City Hall attack.

How did they know?

You got FIFTEEN YEARS of Redis completely libre, and the existing code before today will continue to be libre for eternity. Calling the license change bait and switch makes you sound retarded.

Normally, I try to avoid purchasing anything from Amazon, but this is a rare exception since I can't find this elsewhere, it's an essential item, and I can't convince my family to install a full-blown filter, but at least my family won't scold me for drinking water out of the rain bucket anymore.

J.P. Morgan funded the building of the Titanic,

and cancelled his long-awaited journey just hours before its proposed departure.

Three of the wealthiest men on earth, whom were against the creation of the Federal Reserve Bank, happened to be invited aboard for its maiden voyage.

All three died when the ship sunk and the Federal Reserve Bank was created.

(this is contradicted by newspapers of the time stating there were no victims...)

Decided to add more rooms in the procedurally generated dungeons to add more variety. Sand rooms can now appear but they are functionally no different than floor tiles.

Welp. It's official. #Redis is no longer #OSS

While I wasn't a contributor to the core, I presented on it dozens of times, talked to thousands, and wrote a book about it.

I probably wouldn't have done any of that with that kind of license.

Very disappointed.
