• Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.

    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

    E-mail problems

    E-mails from the forums aren't working at the moment - I've been having to run around trying to reconfigure the mail server and set more DNS records and get the IP delisted from some general list of IP addresses that are not considered meant to send outbound e-mails, and hopefully this'll get it...

    Freeform pronouns

    By popular request, the pronoun profile field is now a freeform field. The values entered in the previous drop-down field have been imported into the new one, unfortunately as the identifiers for those answers, so where your pronoun bit would previously have said "she/her", it'll now just read...

    Sutoraiku High

    Last year, I released a demo version of my magnum opus, Sutoraiku High, a visual novel about drama, friendships, prejudice, bullying, total societal upheaval, and high school romance, with an anticipated release date of April 2020. I am happy to announce that today is April 2020, and...

    Bingeworthy TV

    Many of us may be lacking in stuff to do during this pandemic - so what bingeworthy TV series have you watched lately that you’d recommend to others? My favorite TV series is still Breaking Bad, and the ongoing spin-off Better Call Saul is also pretty excellent - so if you want a lot of...

    Feedback wanted: Style requests

    I’ve already made a couple of main site styles for the forums (you can switch in the bottom left of the page), but there are a bunch more, and probably style elements that could be different. This is a catch-all thread for style feedback. Anything bothering you about the current styles? Hoping...

    COVID-19

    You might all be sick of talking about this, but! How are you doing in these pandemic times? Are you infected? Quarantined? Worried? What’s the official response been like in your countries? Do the authorities seem to have a handle on it, or is it pure chaos? What should be done? What’s the...

    Forum revival TV Tropes Mafia revival

    Back in the distant past, I attempted to run a game of mafia called TV Tropes Mafia. Literally fifty people signed up for it, and I had a lot of fun (with opaltiger) creating roles for it, and then after a couple of very hectic days where nobody knew what was going on, the game sputtered and...

    New decade, new forums

    Welcome to the newest incarnation of the Cave of Dragonflies forums! As you can see, I've upgraded the forum software to a shiny new XenForo over the more than a decade old vBulletin 3.8. As of this writing, I have not yet created any custom styles, and I'm sure there are a bunch of kinks to...

    Gen 7 sprites now working with sprite BBCode

    Hello, everyone! I'm inexcusably late with this, I know, but you should now be able to use the forum's sprite BBCodes for Gen 7 Pokémon. First, you can use 'sm' as the sprite set to get the sprite from the 'unified' sprite set I created for the Favorite Pokémon Picker, with 128x128 sprites for...

    Tapatalk mobile integration

    A couple of days ago I installed Tapatalk on the forums, which means if you like to browse on a mobile device and find the forum layout makes it inconvenient, you can install the Tapatalk app for your device and it will give you a native interface for all regular forum functions. Obviously this...

    E-mail actually working

    I have finally, finally managed to simultaneously remember and have time to look into the issue of why the forum had stopped sending e-mails (for things like password resets), and I think I fixed it. Go test it out.

    Proper database-based read thread markings back

    I was encouraged to try turning this setting back on and seeing if there is an intolerable amount of 500 errors. Let me know if it's too horrendous.

    The State of the Forums

    As you will probably have noticed, the forum server is awful, and you'll probably agree with me in being fed up with it. Most recently, the forums seem to have been showing a server busy message for several days straight (if accessed from the right IP - the "Temporarily Unavailable" message you...

    Some Optimization, Also Reputation

    Since people have been complaining about the server busy message a lot recently, I went and changed a resource-intensive setting I'd missed before. Now forums are not automatically marked as read when you've read every thread in the forum until you've actually viewed the forum's thread listings...

    Infractions Visible

    Members can now see a little red or yellow card in the bottom-right corner of any post that has been infracted or warned. This is to make it more open and transparent when people get infracted, so that members can see what kind of behaviour is unacceptable even when mods haven't publicly replied...
