18 November 2018 We are changing the community clans system to an hole new built in system that is provided with IPB. Group collaboration (Our old system) is no longer supported and to which point it's no longer on the marketplace, with recent errors that we are receiving in the back end that's affecting many other issues, Also the cost of the plugin. The new change hasn't got many features, however over time we will be added new patches with features. We have plains/goals that we are currently working on What Are Clubs? Clubs are a brand new way of supporting sub-communities within your site. Many people have requested social group functionality in the past and Clubs are our implementation of this concept. Each club has three levels of user: Leader A leader has all of the permissions of a moderator, and can add other moderators. They can also add content areas (see below). The club owner is automatically a leader. Moderators Moderators, as the name implies, have the ability to moderate content posted within the club. As the site administrator, you can define which moderator tools can be used. You could, for example, prevent any content being deleted from clubs, but allow it to be hidden. Moderators can also remove members from a club. Users Anyone else that joins the club. If you are aware already that the community have been moved over, and I can say it's more stable then before. If you need any help then please post an topic under this "Support & preview community" and any ideas that you like to see or be added then please also share. Regards!!

I been in the front line ever since Bayside Gamers was born, we started quit poorly with basic knowledge and since then it has become a milestone. Each day when I login I always looking forward to see new content, in my line of duty is to be a administration and I'm loving every moment of it. Yet, with problems that we get it's apart of running a website and I definitely consider of regretting. Content is slowly becoming popular and when there are content, members join, and when we get new members, Yep, more content. I always say that every day I'm always learning new things. Some of your might know or not that we upgraded our forum software from 40.13.1 to 41.1 from invisionpower. Read full released blog. We transfer most of our resources over in the past couple of hours, and would like to apologies for taken allot longer than we expecting. If you come across with any issues or bugs whiten with bayside then please don't hesitate by posting under website error selection. We definitely look into it and fix the problems. Regarding errors, I have just noticed that the Toolbar is showing incorrect false data, definitely be fixed, So please don't post about it . In the next couple of weeks, depending if there is no hold backs, Bayside Gamers will be updating the layout and the design of how we look, We still be keeping the theme, Just the new logo and many new futures. We will update you all in out next update thread, So there won't be sneak peaks. I would like to tell you that Bayside Gamers is looking into getting more community team members, It will take weeks maybe month or so when we will be seeing more people that will join the team. If you are interned in joining the time then please PM me (empire) and I will speak to you from there, however please understand if you don't get accepted. I be posting this at a later date, I would like to also thank our fans across the globe, who have stuck by us despite countless hurdles being flung our way that have repeatedly. As I recently mentioned in one of my last tweets, the sheer diversity and global spread of our fan base is incredible, and we really could not do anything like what we're doing now without all of you.

Welcome back members! Whether if your new or you are a member that has been with us from the beginning, you are all going to see quite a change in Bay Side Gamers! After the very long awaited anticipation we have all had for the past several weeks, we have put a mass amount of hard work such as coding,modeling, and organization into our website to make it better than ever for everyone that stops by to visit us! As of now, our new and improved website that we and all of you can now call home is now open for all to see! I had a pretty long trip down many roads of problems and delays with a vast amount of things and even some of you have wondered "Is bayside closed?" Well, to answer the big question, the answer is we are differently not, we are still around and are running at full steam ahead on our boat to success for everyone! (especially on twitter). As for me, "Empire" it's been most definitely very difficult for all of the ups and downs the site has had due to various reasons. I have put allot of money and time into building a website that I always wanted. A site that I felt comfortable with by the way its ran, and by the way it looks. We did this by moving from SMF to IPS4 website software. The staff agreed that this is the biggest, and best option to go with despite our financial issues we came across numerous times. Personally I really love IPS because of it's professional feeling and welcoming atmosphere it can provide a website. I first started testing this software a while back when I used to be a moderator for about 18 months on a old gaming forum which is no longer running due to poor management. While the community administrator chose poor decisions against what the rest of the staff recommended to make it get better, and made the site eventually lose interest to all of it's users, I was still active on the website to help try and keep it alive until the day the owner finally shut down the website. With my prior experience of being a IT Technician, and having a much more time and dedication to this website than anyone else, I look forward to making this the best website that is enjoyed by everyone that finds us, and with that said I would like to thank everyone for taking the time to read this, and for taking the time to sign up with us. To Our Members We have decided to build a fresh start all the way from the ground up because we had around 33 members and only 3 to 4 are active on the previous website that had SMF software loaded onto it, and since we were running SMF at that time we had errors and bugs and I was going nowhere with the modifications that I had wanted. SMF has released an new update some months ago and since then, it helped make our website go nowhere and possibly get even worse than before. So, I decided that I dislike the software and so did my team, and after deep long thinking, discussing, and researching, I decided to change to a more professional software that gave me all the apps that I need that comes with support and that is much better to use for our type of website. To Previous Registered Members You will need to register with us again due to the fact that we started from the ground up and unfortunately were not able to save everyone's accounts. Once again thanks for your understanding. Please keep reading on, with the new updates and add-ons. Forum (Main page) we are allot gaming and modification for the GTA series , we are helpful and supportive group of people. The forum will be changed around, till then we have to decided if we like the current or whatnot. The layout will still be on going work with the way the categories are layout, not to worry as we are working to improve it and feel free to post under the site errors and suggesting. If you are wounding that you can't post or start and topic, it's because that you are new and we have spam bots looking over you. Once you make more posts you will move up and get more permissions. Home Page The home page is still under-going work, What you see now on the home page is this topic (that's if you are reading from the homepage) if you want to replay link below. There is nothing else to say. It will be done once it's done, and we will update you all with the new home page. Reviews & Articles We added an new system to Bayside Gamers. A brand new page that's full of different categories regarding gaming (Game Directory) and tech support, as well as tutorials for Grand Theft Auto. The reviews/articles page is made from scratch with the articles database and pages merged together to bring an hole different perspective. The main purpose of this is to post about random new gaming release's, assist others with issues, and to display different social media channels. If you guys want to see more categories, or if you think that this is a good idea that we have added, then please feel free to contact our team to let us know your opinion on everything! Community Guidelines & Privacy Policy We are not enforcing any community guidelines at this point in time, because you all should know the very basic rules anyway. We are going to let things go ahead and see what happens, and soon we will add a specific and detailed community guidelines page, depending on the issues that come up and present themselves as problems to the site. The privacy policy is A very important item that every website should have, we are aware of this however at a later time we will have it displayed for all to see but for now we're skipping this step in order to make the website public to everyone as soon as possible. Gallery/Downloads One benefit about using the IPS software is that they have many great gallery and download apps, it's clean, well organised and can add many more options into the database. We added fields, a revamped layout for actual download pages and the ability to link mods together. We hope that the downloads section is a big improvement for everyone compared to before, to our team is most certainly is. The Gallery is the place for any member to upload their gaming images and to share their great editing work that they have created for the games they love to play. The Gallery can also help display modifications that you guys are working on, or that may of been created. We have added many sections for any random game you may play (since we are more than just focusing on GTA). Regarding the download section, at the moment we only have GTA available because we are still creating all of the other fields for other games. We did this once again to try and get the website open to the public as soon as possible. With time to come, we will soon have more categories set for all of the games you know and love. If you have any ideas as to which games you would like categories for, please let us know and we will do our best to add the category for you so that everyone else is able to enjoy your modification as well. Keep in mind that that we will be adding (in details) the rules for the gallery and download section in the near future. Bayside Gamers will soon grow bigger and better, with the help of all of you! Help us build this website into the website everyone wants to see now and in the coming future with everything you guys could hope and imagine! Remember, without your support we have no idea how to improve the website to the way you would like without getting feed back from everyone. Well everyone, I personally would like to thank you for joining us and hope that you help us continue to grow by spreading our name around to your friends, colleagues, neighbors, anyone you know that you think that would like us, or that enjoys gaming just like we do. We hope to see you around on the forums -Empire, Community administer
