I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

a look back: aol add-ons

Post by .saint » February 29, 2004

alright i figured i would post this cause its bothering the hell out of me...

anyone remember those aol add-on's some of the kids would call them 'progz' or 'proggiez' and whatnot? alright well if any of you remember my name on here used to be 'fone' i used to program those add-on's years ago. back when aol2.5 and aol3.0 were around. i helped make a few of the well known ones. super mad cow, fate ultra, level9. anyone remember those? haha well im in the search for fate ultra 9.0 and super mad cow. i just want to have them and bring back the old VB chat room convo's and countless hours of coding that us little punk aol kids used to do..

if you or anyone you know can get ahold of fate ultra 9.0 or super mad cow final i would really appreciate it. i know its a long shot that was over 9-10 years ago when we put those programs together but worth a shot.


on another note. i put together a program called 'interact' it was a multi function chat program kind of like aim.. this was.. wow probly 8 years ago.. well i foudn the program and it still works kind of... i was thinking about getting back into the coding scene and throwing together a new version of interact. one that can be distributed on thejdm.com and used by the memebrs to keep in touch... you know something very original. no other car web forum i know of has its own chat program to distribute to other members. they might have a webchat but this is a full function program. it even has the option for plug-ins. it comes standard with AFK [away from keyboard] bot. a world chat and private messages. you can also customize the program's color setting. pick a handle and password so you are the only person that can login to that name. here is a screenshot of the new version of interact i started about a year or 2 ago. then i kind of gave up..

would anyone like to see this program actually finalize? or is noone really intersted enough to care about if i actually consider it or not?

omg you helped with those progs?! i was a punter man myself. you could usually find me in pr: punters with doja and them. i'll keep a look out for those programs for you...

as for 'interact,' i say hell yea! how far along is it? damn, i swear i haven't opened VB for years...literally. i learned winsock back in the day but i wouldn't be surprised if i didn't remember ANYTHING. but if you do need help or anything, let me know. :nod:

I had interact when you were working on it last. Sent it to me at my mom's to make sure it worked. VB never held my interest enough to finish anything.

I think it'd be rad to distribute it on here.
