A week from now is patch day, you'd better remember it. >.>
New topic breakage and VIP front page fixes are both submitted, they'll be deployed as soon as I can find the boss.

Weird. But I'd rather see this as his icon:
Let's keep it on topic... Hey Rooks, fix my front page!

I can't tell you the level of frustration I had having the hot rod at shows this year and people who were smart enough to notice it had a Ford engine in it weren't smart enough not to say "I like that you put a Ford motor in it!"

Ah, for once someone used that term correctly. Give an example of your idea of it commonly being used incorrectly, as I'm perplexed now.

Had he said 'engine' we'd have a problem. How so?

Cause Tesla's don't have engines, silly.

Engines typically convert some kind of fuel into locomotion via a chemical reaction like burning. It was a light-hearted joke, and we're really mucking up this shrine to Rooks breaking our front page.

Eh, go for it, it's not like you can make a new thread right now anyway.
Plus, free bumps for patch notes, not that this week's are all that exciting

That is just one type of engine, yes.

Gotta make sure they're sturdy, gotta cancel out that noise, yo.

After seeing the title Guide Maker I think you should create a new one that is Fresh Maker, which goes to a random user everyday.
pls

I broke something fairly major, hotfix incoming. what? VIP front page.
No. Rooks will be remembering this when he's 95, in a nursing home, gumming his mashed potatoes. He could very well be gumming them now. We, the virtual community will never know :P

FYI, no patch this week. FFXIVPro 2.0 is nearing completion, but this week (and in particular tomorrow) is extremely busy for me RL, and I don't want to half-*** it. I only had a couple of minor tweaks going into the patch other than that*, so I think it makes sense to just wait a week and give a bigger one on the 8th.
* = Pretty much all BG Wiki related. Try out and help support the new FFXIV BG Wiki here!
By Rooks 2015-09-01 11:27:25
Not a real patch, but a tiny update to fix the BG Wiki links (along with a couple of other minor display changes that were sitting around).
A real patch is scheduled for next week.
[+]
The site has been updated.
This patch was almost all under the hood work; XIV data mining work (update on that below) and a lot of cleanup in preparation for new hires. I made sure to get a couple of user-facing things in, though.
[XI] The inactivity trigger for achievement point inclusion is now 60 days instead of 30.
[XI] Synergy achievement points now display correctly.
Forum sections are now links on their own.
The array of available badges has been expanded (more below).
Badges now grant titles (more below).
FFXIVPro.com now has a sidebar link.
Various pieces of phrasing around the site have been changed and clarified.
The "About" page now automatically updates, and my dumb ass is in the admin section.
Changes and fixes to various moderation tools.
Changes and fixes to various administration tools.
Refactoring of pieces of the code base.
Badges:
There are now badges for winning MS Paint contests (which will be awarded when someone gives me a list of winners or I backread and find them), contributing to guides even if you're not the author (shoot me a PM is you or someone you know qualifies!), and finding/reporting bugs on the website. They also now grant titles, selectable from the "Account" page. I've also added a tool to make them easy to add from the admin interface, so no more waiting for patch day. They still need a tab on the user page, though.
XIV data mining:
The relevant fields have all been mapped (with a huge shoutout to Lakshmi. Teven, who was indispensable through the process). The importer is complete, and all that's left is completing the deciphering of the icon format. I expect to fully update XIVPro's item database next week.
