Did you install that extension?

You did, didn't you?

Welcome! Jul is quite the gem.

You could say it's a bit of a jewel.

Yep. Would've done something more, but it was something of a miracle that I remembered. I knew it was around July 23rd sometime, but not the exact date.

...

Jul 1 of this year I've been a member of Acmlm's board(s) since 2001. That's a really long time; at this rate, I'm going to end up having been a member of this community for over half of my life.

My only wish is that I had taken better care of it.

--------------------

There have been ideas for a while to allow more customization of these things. I was hoping for sidebar styles like custom titles, but you know how those go.

As for the rest, it's possible, I guess. Maybe I could make it so that you could select from a few set styles of sidebar (normal, "minimalist" (like mine but different)), I dunno. Effort.

The CSS could possibly be changed, though, but keep in mind that for the most part, the fields around your post weren't meant to be changed. (There's a reason your layout is in the post table cell, after all...)

--------------------

I wonder how far the code has divurged between the board and the Jul git repo. Probably too much to ever reconcile them...

That's a shame.

--------------------

That is how it would be implemented here, probably. The idea would be that you would have to unlock it (like custom titles) and it could be taken away from you if you abused the privilege.


...I wonder if using the item shop for this sort of thing would be a worthwhile idea? You could spend the coins you get on them, heh. (And it could be self-balancing over time, since you naturally get more the longer you're around.)

Justus League. If you've ever wondered why some people (incorrectly) spell it as JuL, now you know.

It's a reused joke from somewhere else; the gist is that the original "incarnation" was a small side-forum for a few people, like you sometimes see people doing. It was pretty quiet and was mostly just a private place for friends to gather.

JL2 (this place) started much the same way when things with blackhole89 and friends were going sour over at board2... and after he threw his temper tantrum, it turned public and became Jul proper soon after... That's why early regdates are 7/03, while the "real" anniversary is 7/22.


The undercurrent of "elitism" is still here, of course; there's a hidden powerlevel (that you can't see unless you're a mod or admin) that allows you access to a few extra forums. It's mostly reserved for people who are trustworthy and long-term members. It's just that now it's on the board instead of on a separate one, heh.

For the most part, though, you aren't missing much if you're not a part of it. It's mostly used for venting/ranting amongst friends.
