2023 Vizzed Awards - Happy 19 Year Anniversary

2023 was definitely a lower point for Vizzed. Traffic wasn't terrible, but my IT position kept me so stressed and busy throughout the year, it resulted into me being unable to invest the time into the site that I had planned. The only 2 notable updates to the site included:
-New Post Editor, which is still somewhat in development.
-Implemented Various Security and other various optimizations to the site's code.

Vizzed.com turned 20 years old earlier this year. I might still find time to make a 20 year anniversary video before the month ends, but unlikely at this point.

A lot of veterans returned to the site in 2023, which was very exciting to see. It gives me a lot of hope for 2024. Something that also excites me for 2024 is that my work schedule will be more flexible. I'll be allowed to work from home again (1 day a week) and I'll be allowed to adjust my hours so that I can work 4 days a week at my job, giving me 1 day a week where I can focus on Vizzed. For those who don't know, my weekends are set aside for my family, and after a long day of mentally exhausting programming, I don't have the brain capacity of motivation to work on Vizzed after I get home from work, so usually the only time I work on Vizzed is when I take days off (from time to time I'll do things after work or on the weekend, but it's not common).

Next year will be the 20th anniversary of Vizzed Board, and also the 10 year anniversary of the Minecraft Server. I have something special planned for both events



You can find all of the awards and additional information here

RGR Plugin Update Fixed!

The RGR Plugin 2022+.msi file that we released a year ago is no longer valid. This is because the SSL certificate associated with that installer expired and I messed up a few things when I went to renew it. This is why the games in the Retro Game Room stopped working about a month ago.

We have a new installer which you can get here:
RGR Plugin 2023+.msi

You will have to uninstall the RGR Plugin 2022+ on your computer before installing that, if you have the RGR Plugin 2022+.msi installed.

To uninstall it:
  1. Go to Add or remove programs, which you can access by typing into your Windows search bar.
  2. Find RGR Plugin 2022+.msi from the list and uninstall it.1693699478.png
  3. Then go ahead and install the new RGR Plugin 2023+.msi.

For more thorough instructions on the installation process, go to this thread:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=104450

I'm hoping we wont need to have another update next year.

I want to give a HUGE thanks to supercool22 and pokemon x for their recent donations, which helped pay for this new installer.

The RGR Plugin is currently unavailable due to SSL renewal issues. It should hopefully be back up sometime between Saturday and Monday (8/5 - 8/7).


pokemon x discovered a temporary solution:

Step 1- Go here https://rgrplugin.vizzed.com:2761/

Step 2- Proceed to page despite warning if it says something about Security Certificate is expired accept anyways.

Step 3- Close page and go back to a game and it should now work again.

Vizzed.com domain turned 20 years old this month! I actually wasn't even old enough to buy the domain 20 years ago. Jake-A-Roonie bought it for me, and then the following year I turned 18 and got a debit card so that I could start paying for it.

Vizzed.com was founded 1 1/2 years before this version of the site was created, and it was founded roughly 1 year after the first Vizzed Board came to life. So the history of Vizzed has a lot of different milestones and anniversaries, but this is probably one of the biggest. Not many sites or domains last this long on the internet. It's incredible that I've been able to have a community that continues to use the site, even after all these years.

I'm still working on putting together a YouTube video. Not sure when that'll be done, maybe in a few weeks. Either way, it'll still be released before the year ends, so it'll still come out during the anniversary year (just not the year and month).

Thank you everyone for being a part of the history of Vizzed.com

I've implemented some extra security to the site. A hacker discovered a few exploits 2 months ago, and was kind enough to show me what the exploits were, and how to fix them. If you're reading this hacker, thanks again, and feel free to email me or contact me if you notice anything else.

If anyone notices any issues with the site that started occurring after this update, please let me know ASAP so that I can fix it.


Securing the Inputs
I've updated the script that analyzes and cleans any data that gets inserted into the database. I also updated the headers of the site.


Securing the Passwords
I've updated the site's password encryption. The old was very outdated. The new one makes it so much more difficult to crack a user's password.

NOTE: User passwords will only use the new encryption after a user changes their password (and for new users). So, I highly recommend everyone update their Vizzed password at some point, if you want to ensure your account is more secure. I'll eventually make an alert that reminds each user to change their password.


HTML Cleaner
I'm utilizing HTMLPurifier for most input that involves HTML. This analyzes any HTML that gets submitted to the site, removes anything that might be potentially malicious, and also fixes the HTML if there's anything broken. Inputs that would utilize this include Posts, various profile editing, etc.

This also allowed me to eliminate the z tags that sometimes get placed into various thread titles, posts and other sections of the site.

It's time to elect the 2 users who will be admins of the site in 2020 from July - December. You can vote for 2 Admins. They're listed below, click them to see their application:

Allysa8th

SonicOlmstead

deggle


Here's how this works

Respond to this thread with up to 2 users you think would do a great job. The more users you choose, the less weight your votes have. So if you feel really strongly about someone, then vote for just 1 user.

Here's what determines the weight of your vote

The weight of a vote depends on the user and how many votes that user makes. Users who have a high rank, been around for a long time, and have a high post count, will have a vote with more weight. This is fair because those users should have a bigger impact on the results since they're more familiar with the community and have a higher reputation compared to someone who just registered with the single purpose of altering the results.

Here's the formula for figuring out the weight of your vote:
User Level * Power Level

And if you have multiple votes, it'd look like this:
(User Level * Power Level) / Vote Count

The User Levels can be viewed from their profile and also next to their posts to the left. A User Level is based on how long a user has been here and how many posts they have.

Here's the numbers that represent each Power Level:
0 = Newbie
1 = Normal
2 = Trusted
3 = Elite
4 = Site Staff
5 = Local Mod
6 = Global Mod

Rules
-Can't vote for yourself
-Can't vote for more than 2 people
-Posts with negative ratings will be investigated and potentially ignored

Voting ends on Monday, January 2nd.


Be sure to submit your votes to this thread:
