What a journey! Though I must say I miss the modding scene from back in the day, mods like ArmySystem not being available now makes me sad.
And now with flash gone, no more arcade mods.
I also dearly miss the skins made by Kim of SkinByDragonfly.
I first started with 1.3 IIRC. 2.1.7 was my favourite version 🙂

@Rikki thank you, this is really useful.
Is there something similar where in Pages we can include different blocks inside different database categories?  
Perhaps an idea for the next article?  

Alright, a slight modification to what @Rikki has above will allow you to use multiple feeds in to your individual forums.  I needed this as I have multiple Pages Databases that we use on one of our websites, and I wanted to pull information from more than 1 location.
{{if request.app == 'forums' && request.module == 'forums'}} {{$id = \IPS\Request::i()->id;}} {{if $id == '5'}} {block="forum_5a"} {block="forum_5b"} {block="forum_5c"} {{endif}} {{endif}} Now my ForumID is 5.  So when loading Forum5 in the sidebar it will now load 3 Custom Blocks.
You can extend on this easily enough to have a complete different set of feeds in each forum.

Really appreciate the changes and Pages updates, here's some feedback on what I still feel needs further flexibility that I'm finding limiting within Pages at the moment from a Database perspective for sorting and filtering results.
 

This. I grasp less then 2% what's possible with pages and love to learn more. How, why, what, where, who when.
