Features

This forum was written by Daniel D'Agostino (also known as Dino), started on 21st February 2003. It is written entirely in PHP, with no use of any database at all. You don't need to make an account, just enter a nickname and post. Accounts may be implemented in a future version though.

You may use D-Code, which is very similar to BBCode, as well as smilies.Smilies

Here is a list of smilies available:

D-Code

D-Code is just like BBCode, with a few differences. You should not attempt to use code before you read below, as some things are different from BBCode.

• To make text bold or italic, enclose it in [b]bold tags[/b] or [i]italic tags[/i].
• To include images, just enclose the web address in [img]image tags[/img].
• Links are just like in BBCode. To make a link, write [url=, the destination address, close it with a ], write the text that should appear as a link, and close the link with [/url]. See example further down.
• If you want to show code, you can use [code]inline code[/code] or [pre]block code[/pre].
• Quotes work just like on other forums. Just enclose quoted text in [quote]quote tags[/quote].
• Spoilers are something found in very few forums. They allow text to be hidden from immediate sight, so that things such as game spoilers will not spoil things for people not wanting to know them. Those who do want to read spoilers can just highlight the text to read it. Spoilers are done using the [spoiler]spoiler tags[/spoiler].
• Lists can be made by using the [list]list tag[/list]. This will make a list using bullet points, and that tag makes the first bullet point for you. To make more bullet points, you make to make more bullets with [*].

Examples:
