    Most of Rockstar's games are heavily influenced by movies with a similar storyline or genre. I'd say GTA3 was in some part based on Gone In 60 Seconds, Vice City was based heavily on Scarface, San Andreas was based on a number of movies such as Boys N The Hood and stuff... Red Dead Redemption was influenced by a number of western/cowboy movies...

    What could GTA5 be based on? Obviously it depends where the game is set and which year it's set in, but by considering the possible movies which could influence Rockstar, we may be able to come up with the setting or storyline :)

    I currently have no ideas, but that's for you guys to come up with. Although I did see "From Paris With Love" last night and I think something like that has quite a big GTA feel to it.

    peering in at a basement fire on Sunday a week ago:

    a car wreck a few days later. there was a van upside down off to the right:

    Yous a fireman? Dam I want to have sex with you now even moar.

    Christ, you've seriously only just found out he's a fireman?

    Exactly. Where do you think his username comes from? He puts out bushes that are on fire. Hence TreeFixy... But he can't spell...

    99% sure nearly all of those domains are just registered through the same registrar that R* may have used for a few of their domains. There's no way most of them belong to Rockstar. People are just picking out domains that look like they might have something to do with GTA, but seeing as there's no details in the whois for the domains, there's absolutely nothing that suggests they belong to Rockstar at all...

    Subscribing now. One more question though; I'm happy to pay the fee for subscribing but is there a way to donate a bit more money, just to say thanks to Psy and help keep things going?

    Thanks for the offer but it's really not necessary. Paying for a gold member helps to cover the costs of buying licenses for the forums and to renew the many domains I have each year, but I'm not running this to make a profit from the members. I do make a bit through advertising, but I'm happy enough with you guys just visiting and contributing to the community.

    I'll have to find a way to get something set up for processing payments on these forums soon though, just in case anyone wants to donate or buy gold membership.

    For the front end website I'm using their integration as a trial. If we get a lot of traffic through it, they'll stay, but facebook particularly is a pain in the arse. I coded the site to validate to web design standards perfectly, and Facebook made up their own stupid code which doesn't validate with any normal website, so the whole site doesn't validate. Would love to take it off but I'll try it out for a few weeks first and see what it brings. For the forums, they're built in and stuff like facebook login will definitely be staying.

    Well the language is quite important, but one way to do it would be something like...

    Get the highest number - e.g. 1000

Work out the percentage difference between each number and the highest

10 = 1%
341 = 34.1%

Highest number is font size 20

each font-size is whatever % of 20 relating to their number

10 = 0.2% = 0.04px
341 = 34.1% = 6.82px

    Only thing is I don't know if setting the font size to be like 14.7px actually changes how it's displayed or not... But that's probably how I'd do it. There could be a better way but I dunno, not something I've looked into. That's probably not the best way to do it.

    I've noticed on the main site a few issues.

    The first one is that when someone makes a posts something and someone makes a comment, under comments it will say 2 even though there was one original post and one comment.

    The Second is that if I try to enter my Display name as the name for the comment, it says that the Nickname has been reserved (I'm assuming you have to loggin) ; but, i don't see anywhere to log in when it gives me the error message. A login to continue link would be good.

    The Third is that i don't see a link to the forums anywhere.

    1. I can't replicate that issue on the website. If something has no comments and I make one, it says it has 1... I think the reason Boing says it has 2 is because I changed the way the comments were counted after some comments were posted. Usually I'd do a query to count the number of comments on an article, but to save an extra query on every page load, now I set a field in the article itself with the number of comments. Once you make a comment it adds 1 to the number of comments. Obviously for boing it wasn't set to 0 when the first comment was made or something. Won't be an issue on any new content.

    2. Admin usernames are protected from being entered when making a comment, unless you're actually logged in as an admin at the time. There's no actual member login system for the front end site, everyone posts as a guest, but admins have their names reserved to prevent people pretending to be them.

    3. Forum links will be coming once the site is ready to go live.
