Meta / Background Images!
Last post by Kett - Jul 11, 2025, 01:27 AMI did a little hacking around in the profile template and now you should be able to set a custom background image for your profile.
Go to Profile Details and set a custom URL for your Background image like so:
And it should work!

Last post by Kett - Jul 10, 2025, 10:26 PMQuote from: revoblam on Jul 10, 2025, 10:23 PMmaybe we should make a bunch of topics that are just spam nonsense stuff, call it the gunktraps
I know of some who put up a few hidden honeypot links to take care of this stuff.
I don't know if I want to serve nonsense text or zip bombs though...

Meta / AI Scrapers?
Last post by Kett - Jul 10, 2025, 09:11 PMThese forums get a lot of views from guests, like a lot a lot. Thing is that these are probably all AI scrapers.
While my intent has initially been to keep all content in the main boards public for all, this was a little before the AI bot situation got really bad.
I still do want to keep things here public, but I need to figure out how to cut traffic significantly.

Worldbuilding and Lore / Re: Atrea and Atreans
Last post by Kett - Jul 10, 2025, 08:35 PMPalaces and Districts
The main area of Atrea is divided in Districts, which each has a singular towering Palace at its heart.
Hexaureans use the Palaces as habitation, but Palaces are machines which use departed souls from beyond Atrea as fuel to spawn more Atreans.
An Atrean Reaper's job is to venture beyond Atrea into other worlds to collect souls which have gone rogue and bring them back to their own Palace. This is a role traditionally taken by Tetraureans given their balance between strength and magic ability.

Worldbuilding and Lore / Atrea and Atreans
Last post by Kett - Jul 10, 2025, 08:35 PMFigured I'd start a thread to share details about my a location in my lore, Atrea, and the residents therein, Atreans.
Though it has not always been this way, Atrea functions in a sort of caste system categorized by a few differing anatomical features that Atreans sport. The most obvious of these features is the amount of ears Atreans have, and that is what gives each rank its name.
COMMON RANKS
Binaureans - These have two ears, their bodies usually sport more muted colors, they do not glow. These are the lowest class, common workers, the strong base over which Atrean society functions. They're physically strong and incapable of magic.
Tetraureans - These have four ears, their bodies are usually dark and have glowing spots at the tips and as face markings. They're usually in charge of matters of protection. Tetraureans fill the roles of the guard and some are sent out of realm to take care of magic-related crises that can destabilize Atrea. They're capable of some magical feats, but need tools to channel that power. Hexaureans are given weapons crafted with this express purpose.
Hexaureans - They have six ears, their bodies sport bright and vivid colors which glow in almost their entirety. They're usually tall and slender, and their bodies are frail. They're capable of incredible magical feats and do not need tools. They represent the elite in the caste. They've established their place as the governing body of Atrea and are responsible for planning and laying out Palaces and Temples for construction, which is then delegated to Binaureans. Despite the fact that Binaureans, Tetraureans and Hexaureans all have the same cognitive ability, Hexaureans tend to be much more intelligent due to the governing body's focus on education towards the higher ranks.
Octaureans - They have 8 ears, their bodies are void black and their eyes glow crimson. They do not participate in society and are left to rest in high towers. They are to be left alone. They're powerful enough to shatter any other Atrean with their voice alone.
