Competition 2025 / Re: ZCT290 - Abandoned Mine

@alanrotoi This could be a great venue for a Death Race, Twisted Metal like story. Imagine Bernie Rubber being the villain who plays dumb, not to reveal he secretly is the evil mastermind responsible for the demise of the world and the situation where the rest of the drivers are in    !

I love this kind of stories Do you like writing?

As advertised, those scoreboard pages are now filled again, and several of the stats already pull 2001-2003 data 

Thank you! Those scoreboards shows a lot of learning and fun!

Does a link to the Stunts space count as an integration? 😅

For sure it counts

I've added Unicode support to the forum chat, bring all the emojis 🎉

At the same time, I've removed or turned off a bunch of things that made it behave more like IRC than a simple chat. Let me know what you think:

- Made the ChatBot less chatty, so it doesn't announce login / logout
- Disabled all channels except the main one: since 2008, there's been only ~100 messages in other channels, and the largest chunk were spam

Also:
- Removed the zebra background
- Removed the sound code, which required Flash and stopped working a decade ago
- Removed some extra bits we'll never use (e.g., Ruby server support, shoutbox support)

Actually, Abandoned mine opened a new column of tracks in the big map (stunts world?). It's placed east from Melee track.

Is "I like it the way it is" an acceptable answer?

Of course it is, and I'm glad to hear that we are not failing someone who recently joined us!

I'm interested in hearing if there's anything missing though: stunts.hu has been in front of many new eyes in the past two-three years, but I'm not sure it's doing a good job at explaining what the website is about, and where the fun stuff is.

integrate the stunts.hu chatroom with element?

Proper embedding is definitely a big task. Does a link to the Stunts space count as an integration? 😅

While I don't have much in the way of data or anecdotes to support any diagnosis on how the Portal is being used, I think visitors landing on it more often would be a good thing, as it offers a broader palette than any of our specific sites on its own.

One potential addition I can think of would be some kind of news feed, which might bring more of a feel of activity. A lot would depend, though, on what and how we would actually post to that feed. (A long time ago, the Portal used to have admin news posts, but it was taken down because it grew too static and wasn't adding much.)
