UBB.Developers Forums Announcements Announcements U-Zine Articles January 2002 | Team UBBDev Update: New Home, New Avatars, Go Nuclear!!!

Team UBBDev is pleased to have recently announced some exciting changes for our fellow Haxxor members.

Navigating around the Haxxor Homepage

First off is the launch of our official Haxxor Homepage . Here you will find a wealth of information for both the n00b and l33t haxxor. There is the Haxxor FAQ and info, the All-Star page, Sub-Team Stats and the Protein Gallery. With loads of info and helpful links the Haxxor Homepage is the place to go for all your conformer crunching questions.

All Haxxor pages conveniently contain instructions on how to join the team, navigation links to the other pages and the Haxxor Icon Legend.

The Haxxor Homepage contains important links to all of the Haxxor pages. In addition, important Haxxor News, will be posted there as well. Currently, the Haxxor home details the addition of the Anthrax Project at United Devices.

The Haxxor FAQ , provides some answers to some of the common questions people first have regarding Team UBBDev and the United Devices Cancer Project. For additional information check out the More Info page.

Haxxor All-Stars provides up to date standings of our participants. This information is based on your current Haxxor Avatar. If you have achieved a new level, but your avatar hasn't been changed, then you will still appear under your old level until your avatar is updated and the All-Star program is run. Yes we have a nifty little script that resident perl wiz jeologic was able to write for this very purpose. Only active UBBDev members will appear on this page. If you are a member of a sub-team, and not a registered user at UBBDev, then you won't appear.

Sub-Team members should make sure to check out the Sub-Team page , which lists the current standings for our various Sub-Teams, or Sub-Sub-Teams as the case might be. Each team is listed with their captain and members, and the team total. The competition should be heating up as several new sub-teams have recently been added, and should be giving Wando a run for his money. For those of you who are considering adding a sub-team yourself, or participating in the Team UBBDev referral program, you will also find important information on the Sub-Team page.

Then there is the Target Proteins page, where you can collect your UD Cancer and Anthrax trading cards. Soon to come, the Haxxor Trading Card Game, guaranteed to be more fun that the Pokemon, Magic or Harry Potter trading card games. Each protein is highlighted with a copy of the graphic which appears on your UD Think Agent and a description of how that protein is involved with the disease. For those of you who have often wondered what does that cool squiggly thing do...the Protein page is the place to go.

Here's an example:


Finally, find links to the Statsman page , the Team UBBDev Haxxor Forum and look for more to come in the future!

All in all, the Haxxor Homepage is the place for one stop shopping for all your haxxor needs. All Sub-Team Captains should make sure to link to the Haxxor Homepage so your members will have access to this valuable resource.

We've got more new flavors than a bag of Jelly Belly's

To keep you on your toes, Team UBBDev recently announced several new Haxxor Levels, that will keep even the keenest conformer cruncher busy for the next several years. After extensive market research the following new Avatar levels were officially approved by the UBBDev Board of Directors:

Code Red:

The choice of today's generation of coders has been added at the 500,000 point mark (replacing Coffee, which is now at 250,000 points, which in itself replaces Diamond which is now at the 5,000,000 mark -- It sounds much more confusing than it is).

Jolt!:

Beverage of choice for coders and gamers who need to stay glued to their gui from dusk to dawn. With twice the caffeine, Jolt! appears at 750,000 points. Not for the weak at heart, or those with sensitive stomachs.

Emerald:

Follow the yellow-brick road to the Emerald City at 1,000,000 points, and this mean green gemstone is yours.

Sapphire:

This gorgeous blue beauty is yours when you clip the 1,500,000 mark! When you reach Sapphire you are truly a rare gem!

Ruby:

No, it's not Ruby Red, or Ruby Tuesdays, but this Red Head will turn heads and mark you as the l33t3st of the l33t. At 2,500,000 points they don't come cheaply!

Diamond:
As mentioned previously, a Diamond is forever, and for some of you it will seem that long to reach it. The hardest of all substances is one of the hardest Haxxor levels to reach at 5,000,000 points.

GO NUCLEAR!!!

Our last two Haxxor levels radiate with glory. Be the first on your block to grab some U-235 and Pu-239. Yes, UBBDev goes Nuclear with the Uranium and Plutonium levels.


Drop an A-Bomb when you hit Uranium at 7,500,000 points. With a half-life of 713,000,000 years, you'll be glowing for years before meltdown!


And experience a meltdown when you hit Plutonium. With 10,000,000 points, even Oppenheimer would bow before your might!

In other team news......

Team UBBDev continues to kick some serious you-know-what. With new recruits and determination, Team UBBDev continues to rise in the rankings. We are now among the Top 100 teams in terms of Members and Productivity. Next stop Top 50, Top 25 and the Top 10! Keep up the great work, and recommend us to your friends, families and even the guy you sat next to on the Bus today! We can do it!
