Master Bates Posted September 8, 2000 Share Posted September 8, 2000 OK, I have had a great idea for a Website related to CM, and it is a unique idea. Before I can launch, I need one last thing: A CGI script which can be customised with different inputs, such as drop down menus. Basically, I need a customisable Guestbook script. I have looked high and low for a suitable script, but without luck. Anything I have found, have not worked due to inexplicable errors. So... any help on this one, people?? ------------------ Quality, wholesome family viewing brought to you by Master Bates and Seaman Staines.

Wilhammer Posted September 8, 2000 Share Posted September 8, 2000 As you no doubt realise, though we have a wargame community here, their are children reading this forum. Your moniker and your sig is out of line, in my opinion. This IS NOT a flame. I am a concerned father who plays CM with my 9 year old in addition to the PBEM's.

Wilhammer Posted September 8, 2000 Share Posted September 8, 2000 Look for "Matt's Scripts Archive" on the web. I had a friend in HS named Paul Bates, and, well, I guess that is you last name as well. Thanks for your understanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master Bates Posted September 8, 2000 Author Share Posted September 8, 2000 Well, I would like to take this most opportune of opportunities to say that as Chief Principal Web Master of this new CM site, I shall have a "black book" of people who shan't be tolerated. But because I am a most generous person, this thread can serve as an online begging bowl for people who don't want to be banned from my forthcoming Web Extravaganza. I really can't stand for these unneccesary comments about my name, I just can't let this continue! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cartman316 Posted September 9, 2000 Share Posted September 9, 2000 KIA, More likely...a Yugo. Yeah, your website will be unique in that it will be the only CM website NO ONE visits.

Guest dirkd1976 Posted September 9, 2000 Share Posted September 9, 2000 Come on guys.......give it a rest. He asked for some help and everyone is giving him crap about his name. I can understand the concerned parent, but lets not let this get out of control. To Mr Bates: Sorry man, I cant help you, wish I could. I just dont want to see another flame war start.

ironcross Posted September 9, 2000 Share Posted September 9, 2000 After the recent flame war, i think master bates screen name is slightly more refreshing than some others i could mention. Lets cut some slack before it gets ugly. Sorry master b cannot help you though try that link a few replys ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawyer Posted September 9, 2000 Share Posted September 9, 2000 Bug(er) off! I'm tired of the "cute" sex and political names and threads that aren't cute at all. They aren't even interesting, yet they feel a need to regularly post on the CM forum. If you want a serious answer MB, get a decent handle. No cheers to you until then.

Master Bates Posted September 9, 2000 Author Share Posted September 9, 2000 The easily annoyed are irritated by my handle: this is surely a good thing!! In the meantime, I may be progressing on the CGI guestbook front. I have found an excellent one called, "BNBBook". When my Website is launched, I will deserve, and will receive, more respect. This thread is now closed!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamstersss Posted September 9, 2000 Share Posted September 9, 2000 More respect? More??? Don't you mean some? ------------------ Did someone compare this to the Ealing comedies? I've shot people for less. -David Edelstein Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Bates Posted September 9, 2000 Author Share Posted September 9, 2000 Elijah! No! Any more of this and I will have to start a bandwagon to get you banned from these forums! Thankfully I am a gentleman and I am able to hold my temper: send me $800 - US of course, none of that other rubbish - and I will refrain from such actions.

THAT'S WHY YOU CHOSE IT, to get attention. Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dittohead Posted September 9, 2000 Share Posted September 9, 2000 And further more no thread can be locked up until there has been at least three references to hamsters or other small furry rodents. So Master Bates with Hamsters will have to endure further lampooning. Ok that's one, need two more. Plus I believe masterbates.com is probably taken.

Pham911 Posted September 9, 2000 Share Posted September 9, 2000 Pfffft. My take on this whole thing: Real question that was, sadly, asked by someone who also happens to get a kick out of trolling. It wasn't a troll to start with, but I think the opportunity presented itself... It's not quite as sublime as a "don't feed the trolls" troll, but a late bait troll is almost a magical thing.

Wilhammer Posted September 9, 2000 Share Posted September 9, 2000 MB, "I really can't stand for these unneccesary comments about my name, I just can't let this continue!" is to be expected as it was you that elected to "expose" yourself to deserved harrasment. No doubt, you chose this moniker in the hope to get a "rise" by your clever use of your "handle". All kidding aside, I for one would like to see a sensible contribution by all participants on this board, but chosing a name that is designed to be vulgar is adolescent, rude, and will serve you no other purpose than to be thought of as a poorly opinionated fool. This IS NOT a flame, it is an assessment. This "Assesment" is no doubt shared by the collective, and will likley prevent you from being "Assimilated". The non assimilated will either die from intellectual mal-nutrition or wind up saying the wrong thing and be ejected permanently. It is your path to chose, but if your goal is to be a seriously considered contributor to the board and the CM community, I suggest that you supress your anarchistic desires and show a bit of discipline. Damn it man, this is a military simulation board, so simulate your participation as a gentleman, if not for your sake, for the sake of the decency of the board.

Michlos Posted September 9, 2000 Share Posted September 9, 2000 Instead of trying to use CGI i would suggest using ASP.

Master Bates Posted September 9, 2000 Author Share Posted September 9, 2000 I just can't find the right script. All of them only seem to allow simple text field entries, whereas I am needing dropmenus possibly driven by a customisable template html file. I'll look a bit longer, but then probably give up.

Master Bates Posted September 9, 2000 Author Share Posted September 9, 2000 YES! YES! I have got BNBBook working and I am customising right now. This means that I can begin testing my site today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcusm Posted September 9, 2000 Share Posted September 9, 2000 Ok serious question. Who the H*ll is Master Bates and why is that name offensive? Is he some porno actor or what? Certainly none I recognize. I would choose Peter North in that case, makes more impact . marcus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
