I know GI3 is still in beta, but the GI4 beta will be starting imminently.
If you’re interested in getting involved, drop a reply and I’ll keep you updated via your account’s email.
Don’t expect major design changes - this is a back-end rewrite - but it should come along very quickly because we’re moving to a similar technology, and the code behind this isn’t too bad as-is.
All data will be automatically migrated when I switch the sites over, but during the beta it’ll have a separate database.
on 6/8/20
I should add, there will be some design changes & I’m particularly interested in making it responsive.
on 6/9/20
Also, I can try recruiting some people I think may be interested once the 4.0 launch is out! :D
on 6/9/20
Great! :) I'll get back to you shortly. I would expect I'll have something up and running either this weekend or next.
Still a lot of work left for the overall design but I'm thinking something like https://imgur.com/a/zCEbLVU

Glad you think so!
The forum is working as of yesterday night, so I’ll probably try to get it up and running on a full testing environment this weekend.

Flicked the switch! You should have a GI v4 option in your navigation bar which will take you to the beta.
Once you've clicked it once, it should remember you and you'll be authenticated to access https://beta.gamer-island.com/

the email on my account is probably old. needs a change, can't find an option too, but i'm interested in this beta
on 7/2/20
Enrolled :) you should have a link in the nav bar.
on 7/2/20
Regarding your email - I can fix that for you, but I wouldn't bother personally. You can sign up with the correct email on the beta and when I migrate the data across you'll be able to change your email on the new site.

Hey Hopper, looks like the error was you trying to make two accounts (maybe a glitch caused it to resubmit - I'll investigate)
Have you checked your spam folder?
on 7/2/20
Looking at logs, it looks like you might have clicked register twice in click succession and the first one went through and the second one caused an error. I'll see what I can do around improving the user experience in those circumstances.
on 7/2/20
Yeah I did accidentally hit Submit twice. My bad. And verification email must have been lost in the e-void lol.
on 7/2/20
That's odd, you sure it's not in spam?
In any case I just verified it for you so you should be able to login now :)
on 7/3/20
ok ill join
on 7/3/20
Enrolled :)
on 7/4/20
Very odd. I'll be investigating why the sign up emails keep getting funnelled into spam soon, and will take a look into this when I do to see if I can figure out what happened here.
on 8/11/20
Hey Ashley! I would love to help test out version 4.0. I’m also a website developer and I’m wondering if you have positions open? And will there ever be a game?
on 8/11/20
I've subscribed you in the beta.
Please don't post fake announcements here anymore, and FYI deliberate attempts to exploit a site as you've been trying are illegal without prior consent (see https://security.stackexchange.com/a/6370 if you're in the US).
I'm very happy for you to give it your best shot at hacking the beta environment (with the notable exception of anything in the vein of a DDoS), but I would ask you not pollute this production environment with them. To save you the trouble - all SQL queries are prepared, user output is automatically sanitised prior to output, and CSRF tokens are mandatory on all forms. I take this stuff seriously :)
And nope, sadly I doubt there'll be any game in the near future.
on 8/12/20
Sorry about that. I was just playing around with the website and noticed i could make threads in announcements, I proceeded to click the button and fill it in, thinking it wouldn't work, but it did. Again, sorry about that.
on 8/18/20
Sign me up!
on 8/19/20
Done! :) should be a button in your nav bar when you're logged in
on 8/23/20
Awesome
on 9/10/20
Subscribed you into it by the way, IEatCrayons.
NB the beta is currently non-functional as I'm moving it onto a different hosting method. Should have it back up and running today.
on 9/11/20
All back up and running now :) this is the last DB wipe I intend to make
on 4/29/21
If i can still attend, count me in!
on 5/7/21
You sure can :) sorry for the delayed response
There hasn't been any updates for a little while and realistically I think it'll be a solid 2-3 months before I next have time, but it's reasonably close to done, I think.
on 5/8/21
Thank you! :)
on 6/4/21
im in lol :P
on 9/5/21
If this project is still running, can I attend?
on 9/7/21
Sure thing, authorised
on 1/4/22
I would love to join the beta if still available
on 1/29/22
Is the v4 beta down? I have the button that takes me there but it won't load.
on 2/3/22
Hey ash. Me again. Im down need access
on 2/4/22
^ would love to try it
Btw gravitat.com stole your files
on 2/4/22
Gravitar.ga
Sorry.
Major typo.
on 2/5/22
Nah, they stole some other site’s files. Not really concerned.
I gave you access a couple weeks ago - you should see a button in your navigation bar that says GI v4 you can click to try it out. Hasn’t had any changes in a while though I’m afraid
on 2/5/22
Whoops - I just saw Branan's message above. It was indeed having issues, but should be fixed now.
on 2/10/22
^ just tried and it still doesn't fully load. Please note i use wifi and data so my ips change.
on 2/12/22
Yeah - something’s wrong with the hosting and keeps bringing it offline. I’ll investigate later today
Note that when it does work, if your IP is changing you will have to go back to this site and hit GIv4 again to re-authenticate yourself
on 2/15/22
Can I have an account
on 9/19/22
i moved house lmao
