Team International Anarchy

No real news, I just need somewhere to leave this.

PS, Can anybody tell me how to embed Youtube videos?

Peter? I took care of you Beach!

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!

I have given up on Joomla. Far too complicated for our basic needs. I have installed another CMS that is ready to roll. This software has been easier to set up, and once I have the final tweaks done, then we will move to it. These basic HTML pages will be archived away for reference. Stay tunned to this page and I will let you know which CMS I am using now for the Team.

The Team Fortess 2 Team for International Anarchy took 2nd over the weekend at LanWar 40. Our 5 man team included Jaffa, Zealot, Botulism, Sloppy_Surgeon, and Swiftekho. The team took 2nd to pure.Gaming in a hard fought Final battle on cp_dustbowl. I would like to thank Jaffa, Swiftekho, Sloppy_Surgeon, Botulism, Arrows, and EMU for their hard work to take us to 2nd place. Great job guys!

Our Ventrilo died the other day because our Voice provider tanked. I have set up a new server with TypeFrag and so far it has be wonderful! Lanwar 36 has come and gone and the team had a blast! I am still trying to find the best Joomla configuration set up along with re-configuring the team E-mails. That is about all I have for you guys. I plan on just forgetting about the next version of Joomla and finding the perfect set up with 1.0. Once it is in place only Security updates will need to be done. For now there is no reason to always be on the cutting edge. Just like our forums, if it isn’t broken, don’t mess with it!

The reason I have not been updating our main page as much, and the “News” section in the forums even less, is that I am currently preparing to upgrade our site to use Joomla for our news and content management system. The current static HTML pages is just not the trick, and with the 1 year anniversary of this site being online I thought it was time to upgrade to a more professional look. In the following months leading up to the first of September I will be leading the rest of the team members on with some beta testing for Joomla. I plan to launch with 1.5, if it is out of Beta by then. If it is not, then we will plan from there and may not make the deadline. Stay tuned to this space for more information.

We are now one week away from the next Lanwar event, Lanwar 33. As we approach it more I will post details about our local Counter-Strike server that will be hosted and directions if anyone needs them.

As we close out 2006 we look forward to a new year of gaming, friendship, and of course LanWars. Yet, we also look forward to the new features of both the Team and our website. We have completed the move of our website to a new domain name, www.International-Anarchy.com. Once the DNS records have been processed correctly, the old domains will just point to the new location.

[IA]Sweden has resigned from Team International Anarchy. We wish him the best of luck in his future gaming career.

I am excited to announce the addition of a new team member, Sloppy Surgeon! I hope he has a great time hanging out with team IA and to enjoy the many lanwars to come.
