How often do you update your site?
Your site seems to be lacking in the updates department… its kinda boring. Just FYI.

Staying Connected
That’s right. I said it. Big whoop. Wanna fight about it?
The llama has had a stable uptime of over 12 hours for the first time in awhile with no sign of any 502 errors.
The main problem was the shell script that was being used to connect the llama to the unblocked internet. I created a script because my ISP blocks inbound traffic to my server. It worked, for the most part, but wasn’t pretty at all.
I’ve opted to start using something with a pretty GUI to ssh and keep the connect alive. First I tried using Internet Secure Tunneling from Han-soft and SSH Tunnel 4.0 from rs4u.com, then I found Bitvise’s Tunnelier. IST was ok, just freeware with a 30 Day trail period, which doesn’t seem free to me. SSH Tunnel was just plain confusing at first. After you setup what tunnel you wanna create, you have to reload that app to have the changes take place. Took me 20 minutes to realize that. Tunnelier is free and has everything I need and more. I advise anyone looking for an app that auto tunnels to check this one out.
On top of all that my voip router was in front of the house router. For a week or so it was dropping packets left and right. I could only sign on AIM for about 30 seconds after a router reboot. The internet was unbearably sporadic. I put my voip router back behind the other router and that seemed to stopped whatever was causing the problem.
We had put the voip router first thinking that the house traffic was taking precendence over the voip traffic because my calls would drop after a minute or so on the phone. Dragging out a 3 minute phone call in to about a 10 minute process. I found out it was the first gen cable modem Cox gave us [read:cheap bastards] had issues with the new lines they had laid.
How To Stay Interesting?
My question is, “How do you keep a web site interesting without, what WhiteOwl says, ‘[i]recycling whatever content I find while exploring the sewers of the Internet[/i]‘ or creating a dullard blog of the minuscule details of my life that know one gives two shits about?”
How does one start a thread? No body does it. Most can start a conversation in person but not in a forum? Is it to hard for a person to add more of a thought then “lol”?
Membership Milestone
Today redllama.net surpassed GGBK in number of members. Granted GGBK has 18 and the llama has 19. It’s a big step in the growing phase. Next goal? Surpass crashed.
Downloads Section Now Available
After two trys of installing the Downloads module, it works. Upload what you want to share. Don’t use redllama as your remote hard drive.
As of now you can’t upload to redllama but link files from another website. They are releasing the upload module with Dagonfly 9.1.

redllama Theme for DragonFly (CPG-Nuke 9)
If you notice anything out of place or have a suggestion for the redllama theme, let me know. You’ll notice alot of changes happening soon.
Like I’ve said before I’m going to revamp the theme so you can’t tell it’s a nuke.
redllama: Now With CPG-Nuke Favor
So I got PHP-Nuke 7.6 converted over to CPG-Nuke 9 aka Dragonfly but, like the moron I am, I forgot to re-dump the database so I lost like 4-5 posts. Which is OK I guess since I lost no member info. I felt bad telling everyone to rejoin the first time.
CPG-Nuke seems to be a little bit faster. The code seems a little cleaner and the admin part is a little nicer. I just need get everything set up to my liking now.
