Can't promise super intense participation, but you know I'll do my best.

ZFR: Hi,

As Joe mentioned already, he's done an excellent job in creating one board to host all our Mafia private "quicktopic" chats. While the game is active, the Mafia/Observer chats will only be visible to the players who take part in them. Once the game is over, they will be visible to everyone.

Joe has done a really great job in making the whole process very smooth and documented the instructions really well. Please give a round of applause to Joe.

Strictly speaking, you'll only need an account if you get a role with access to private chat. However, to make things quicker, it might be a good idea to sign up now already. A lot of you are already there.

Please be aware though, that the admin (that's me for the moment, later it will be passed to whoever is hosting the next game), will know the email address you signed up with, so if you want to keep that secret use a (semi-) disposable one. Note though, that if you lose your password, you will need your email to recover it. So perhaps the best idea is to use a junk email; I have one that I use to sign up to all temporary accounts.

Is it possible to disable the visibility of people's online status? I noticed it's visible beside every post and it seems like a way people might be able to guess at who the mafia are.
Ok, I may have managed to break proboards. I'm not supposed to be able to find the secret picture sharing board, right?

Good catch. This has to be done by each person.

Go to Edit Profile - Privacy - Invisible (YES)

Even admins can't change this for you.

I think I made it so we could share your nudes?

I reckon it's fine, I think it was set to 'don't appear on the site but be visible to people manually entering board urls'

As for how to remove appear online it looks like individual accounts can set it themselves but I haven't yet seen a way to do it centrally. But there will be!

OK, found it.

Nothing broken. It's set to hidden, but permissions are "Everyone". So it doesn't appear, but you can view it if you know it's there.

It showed up in the GOGfather's activity. Even though the board is invisible to me on the main menu I could access it and see the naked pictures.

Phew, as long as it's not possible to find scumchats the same way.

Well it seems it could potentially be a problem so we should try and shut that down too.

You keep poking at cracks! We'll make her watertight eventually!

But quicktopic is gone. I don't care if we survive long enough to be picked up by a party boat!

Woo, GOG mafia revival! If GOG keeps up their approach to the forum, the mafia players will be the only ones left.

You can thank Joe.

His "we won't get enough players" was what really tempted Fate.
WE ARE STILL OVER NINE HUNDRED THOUSAND MILLION BILLION TRILLION SQUILLION JILLION PLAYERS AWAY FROM OUR GOAL WITH TWO DAYS TO GO
So everybody, please - ask your friends
Also while you've all been slappin each others backs over fourteen people I've fixed those issues with the new forum. You're welcome.
