Our WordPress installation here at International-Anarchy.com supports OpenID authentication. What does that mean for you? Well if you have an OpenID and wish to make a comment on our website, all you have to do is provider your OpenID URL when commenting to pass on your user information. For Team Members given access to the WordPress backend, you can now use an OpenID to login to the website, simplifying and speeding up authentication.
You can look into the OpenID project here: OpenID.net
And finally, you can get and OpenID for use here: MyOpenID
In short the best way to describe OpenID is this:
OpenID is a free and easy way to use a single digital identity across the Internet. With one OpenID you can login to all your favorite websites and forget about online paperwork. Now, you get to choose the login that’s right for you. Get an OpenID today!
I am also looking into a few different options to support OpenID on our forums too, so stay tuned for that in the near future.
Lanwar sent out an e-mail detailing the next event! We need to see about getting a TF2 team prepared for this event, I will post details about putting a TF2 [IA] team on the forums later on.
MML was great and now we are preparing for our fall event, Lanwar 42 in October! Registration for Lanwar 42 will open this Friday night, July 18, 2008 at 10pm!

I just moved our forum system to phpBB3. So far everything is working great, the only exceptions to the rule are the following…
1. You MAY have to update your password before you can log in. The log in panel will give you a message saying that you have to reset your password. You can try to log in again, or you may have to reset your password.
2. Be careful with the [youtube] tags now. You have to not only use the button above the posting area, but you have to include the URL WITH it’s full address. Meaning that it must read something like http://www.youtube.com/blahblahblah That www is NECESSARY for the youtube BBCode to work. Old posts will need to be updated over time; that is the post has to be edited, old youtube code removed, and then the youtube link plus bbcode re-entered.
3. USERS MAY HAVE RECEIVED MANY COPIES OF THE SAME E-MAIL FROM OUR FORUMS! I am sorry about that, it was a phpBB issue and has now been corrected. You will receive one more mass e-mail message from the forums apologizing for this inconvenience.
The New Version of phpBB3 allows for ATTACHMENTS in posts. Now you can attach various files with ease, and all the files are stored to your user account for management.
That is all I have noticed for now. The forums, as always, are accessible from http://forums.international-anarchy.com/ If you guys find anything else please post about an issues on the forums or let me know.
MillionManLan 7 was another great event! It took place in the University of Louisville’s Student Activities Center on July 3rd to July 6th. [IA]Jaffa and [IA]Zealot attended along with friends Emu, Gamelockaz, and BlackPanther. Click the image below to view the Flickr Photoset for the event. I will add more photos as I get them.
Valve released a new “Meet the Team” video from their ever popular Team Fortress 2 game. Later on this week we will get a chance to see the “Pyro Update” introducing unlockable weapons and skills. Steam announced that this update will take place on Thursday (June 19).
In his former life as a tracker of dangerous game in the unforgiving Australian outback, the Sniper would spend months by himself. Prolonged isolation taught him a valuable lesson: You don’t have to rely on other people if you never miss.
Team [IA] would like to welcome Michael “Disclaimer” Harris to the team! He has played with us for quite sometime before as an honorary [IA] player. Today marks his official membership onto the team. Thanks for joining the group Disclaimer, we are excited to have you!
Remember MML7 is on July 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th. I will post an update of where the team will be sitting and who is going to the event once we have a better idea of that. This is shaping up to be a historical event and if you care about Lanwar at all you are not going to want to miss it! If you have any questions please drop me a line on the forums with a PM or start a thread.
All posts were marked with who wrote them before. I now have updated a few of the configuration files on the site that link to the Author’s page. The link is embedded into the Authors name displayed on the post. On the Author’s page you will find an archive of all the posts that user has written on our site. I am going to bed now, a hard earned reward for today’s rollout!
That’s right folks! It is time to turn in the old, static HTML web pages of before and move on up! Today International-Anarchy.com moves up to a WordPress installation. This will not only make updating the site easier for me, but I can now have members of the team do news and other front page updates. Visitors can also make comments on all of our news articles, which should be a wonderful new feature. I would like to thank [IA]Jaffa for being an AMAZING beta tester! He helped speed up the roll out of our new website! So sit back and enjoy the new site guys!
ATTENTION TO ALL [IA] MEMBERS:
Be sure to contact me when you can so I can set up your WordPress account on our site!
