I know I've been absent a lot from this place. But there is a reason.
I've been working on a new site backend. Integrating forums, fanfiction, gallery and everything into one 'super site' and
the welcome move to a dedicated server.
To this end, on the 10th of November, the following will happen:
Forum Registration will be disabled.
Forum will be placed into a view-only mode.
Fanfiction registration and posting will be disabled.
This is to allow me to move all databases over to the new system. Set-up everything and make sure it is all working.
Expected downtime is estimated to be between 24-48 hours.
Other changes happening will be:
A massive database purge, removing threads no longer deemed necessary.
All users accounts that have not had a single post for more then 6 months (read users with a zero post count) will be deleted.
This is to help organization, and the make the database switchover more easier for me.
Any updates or a change to this plan will be posted here.
-
Fantastic news, my friend. I'm glad to hear about the changes and look forward to them. The move to a dedicated server will be a huge step up for CapturedWings :)
-
that's cool. I'm lookig forward to it :).
thanks for your time and info, SLi-san!
-
wonderful,i knew that this forum has got a huge potential which was just waiting to be exploited :wink:!
so the forum is going to benefit from a serious maturing,by cleaning abandoned topic and removing missing members who has never took part of the forum' life :keke:
so it means that the time loading when we change of topic or when we turn the pages and the time waiting to post a message will be shorten since the forun will be less overcast ?
a forum more fluid,readable and organised is exactly what we need to attract more and more dedicated members :okay:!
but during the two days of reshuffle,the forum may be perturbated,doesn't it?
i mean,are there going to be decelerations,display problems or impediment to post :sweatdrop:?
anyway we can handle that since the outcome is worthy :wink:
-
Ganbatte! May you have a complication-free switchover to the new system.

The time is nigh!!!
Prepare for the next generation of CWF!!! :D
-
Off-line will occur within the next 24-48 hours as I've had some minor setbacks (read: weekend coming :P)
Sorry the delay. But rest assured change is coming :D

And in this case...change is good :)

hey, that's my title :)
cool, I love the changes
-

Not some changes...EVERYTHING WILL CHANGE!!!
And for the better :D
< I hope...please, SLi...don't make me a liar...> :tongue:
-
:D
I'm just waiting on a response to a couple of questions before I purchase the dedicated server.
I can't be sure on how long it might take due to time differences.
I will post continuing updates up until I take everything off-line to make the switch-over :D
-
Well the order for a server has now been placed.
Now all we can do is wait :D
-
It sounds good to me!! :D
Just one question, will the page look very different from how it looks now? It dosen't matter if it will, I'm just curious :tongue:
-
Now that is something you will just have to wait and see :P
-
Now that is something you will just have to wait and see :P
You big tease!!! :tongue:
-
Another update:
Server should physically be ready within the next day or so.
However I now can not be certain when the move will occur.
I have no control of the domain capturedwings.net so I cannot change where it points too.
I can only wait for Little Wolf to respond to my e-mail about this.
Will keep everybody upto date.
-
cool! everything will change.. Pukyuu!!! i'm so excited!!! coolies! coolies! maybe next week i'll see a whole new different CW :laughing4:
-
maybe that shopthingy where you can use your cookies will finally work ^^
-
Then again maybe we'll get rid of the cookies system once and for all.
-
O_O why? TxT
-
Then again maybe we'll get rid of the cookies system once and for all.
i agree with sis, why? O.o
so far as i know, the cookie system works fine.....
-
the cookie system as it is has issues which have been brought up many times.
However, I will not say about its presence or lack off. You will just have to wait and see.
-
i agree with sis, why? O.o
so far as i know, the cookie system works fine.....
In its current system...no. No it does NOT work fine. It's way too abused!
-
Another Update:
Dedicated server is ready. I will be transferring my own domains over shortly.
However capturedwings.net still remains in limbo until LW gets in contact with me :(
-
awww... maybe little wolf-sama is busy with school or something
-
Well another update:
Server is already and I'm moving all my domains over within the next day or so (depends on how fast I can upload all that data).
Bad news is there is still no contact with Little Wolf. He seems to have disappeared of the face of the earth :(
-
Hmm... a few days have passed now.
No new updates so far?
-
Bad news is there is still no contact with Little Wolf. He seems to have disappeared of the face of the earth :(
Q.F.T. (other then me beginning to transfer everything other then capturedwings.net over to the new server)
-
I know one can get busy with life however I'd expect an administrator would check in on a daily basis.
I know as a moderator of this forum, I am expected to stop in EVERY SINGLE DAY to see what's happening in here. I expect no less from the others as well.
Hopefully you can get in touch with him soon and you can get this project done. Good luck :)
-
Well, being busy is forgivable - the forum isn't life, after all. Give our admins a little break, ne, Arcademan?
Whenever the switchover gets around to happening, we'll still be here. No rush for me, at least. ^^
-
Its important for me.
The longer this site remains where it is, the more money I have to pay out, and when you don't have much it can hurt the pocket :(
Working so much you don't have a life isn't nice. Trust me, I've known people that have.
One of my friends (has a different job now), used to work as a traffic controller, long days and when he'd get home (if he got home), it would be eat,shower,sleep just to get up at 4am to go back to work 7 days a week. That isn't a life.
Ok, enough ranting. Oh and I forgot the other reason: this sites resource usage, if it peaks again all access could be disabled and we wouldn't want that to happen would we?
-
Nope...won't give them a break. The administrators need to be available full time or what's the point of even having a forum.
THE WARLORD OF CLOW HAS SPOKEN!!![/b]
EDIT: SLi beat me by seconds. The costs of keeping this place up PLUS setting up the new place...I feel for you, my man. That's why I'm frustrated by the delays as well and it's not like anyone else is rushing to help out.
-
Its important for me.
The longer this site remains where it is, the more money I have to pay out, and when you don't have much it can hurt the pocket :(
Well, that's understandable. I just didn't think you needed extra pressure from the forum members. I'm sure if they could help out they would. Good luck with it. ^^;
-
No pressure from me...at least not yet :tongue:
I know some progress is being made since Arcademan Universe is getting ready for its new home, thanks to SLi :)
-
This is NOT good news:
Little Wolf: Last Active: October 08 2006, 07:06 AM
Maybe his computer croaked...or maybe HE croaked (God forbid!!!)
I hope we hear from him soon...

don't count on it......
when i send him a pm asking permission for the secret forumproject, 3 weeks went by before he even answered.......
-
maybe his internet connection is down? forum life isn't everything .. i know that from experience. i was a forum freak last year and it really got in the way of my real life. maybe he needs a break? and maybe he made other mods and admins so that when he's away they can be in charge. if he hasn't been online for that long then maybe you should go ahead with your project SLi. If he knows about it, he should/would understand that during the time he was away, capturedwings needed to move forward.
just my opinion.
-
Problem is I need him to be online.
I have no control of the actual domain name so I can't make it point to where I need it to go :(

He can't go on with the next phase without Wolf. Go back and re-read the posts here.
Life or not, an administrator needs to be here more than the average member, bottom line.
Not just opinion...FACT!!!
-
Just another update:
I'm just submitted a request to my current webhost to move 3 of my domains across, including my primary site, when that happens, access to this site could be temporary lost for a little while, if it does, don't worry, it will be back A.S.A.P.
-
Forums re-enabled for the time being.
This close was to allow the site to be moved safetly to a new server (within the my current web host systems not the 'big move')
Unfortunately its taking too long, so I'm reopening the site, however be warn this site could drop out for a while when the move does take place.
-
The delays are driving me up the wall...well, maybe not as much as SLi but you get the picture.
-
Update here (too many updates :shifty:)
The move will take place this weekend sometime (hopefully)
Host is waiting on activation of the control panel software before moving my account.
(finally a valid reason for a delay :tongue3:)
-
umm.. excuse me... how long is the forums going to be closed when the 'final' moving is taking place?
-
two/three days at the max. Typical DNS propagation (which tells your comp how to get to the site) takes around 24 hours.
Then the time for me to upload everything to the new server.
So, yeah, around two to three days.
-
Ah, the inveitable forum shifting.
I hate doing these things.
-
._____. t-two to three days... my god... (can i survive?) ^^;;

._____. t-two to three days... my god... (can i survive?) ^^;;
I was almost thinking the same thing, as another one of the forums I frequent (Neo-Geo Forum) has been down since Thursday. I only go to about 5-6 forums but I go to them quite a bit so having 2 of them down was a little hard :wink:
When this is all said and done, you'll find it was well worth the time and patience :)
-
Err... I have worse.
Down for a month! Ouch!
-
Well finally after 4 days of bugging my host, the domain pointers have been altered.
This site is now on a new server (note: this wasn't the big move).
I've fixed up all display errors, and I don't think any posts or stuff was lost in the move process.
Apologies for the extended downtime but it was out of my hands.
-

im like that too. im a member of ALOT of sites, mst bords, and when some are down, or have no updates in several hours i get very bored and anoyed XD
-
A post I made was lost in the move, I think. >_> Unless it was deleted around the same time, but I'm fairly certain it was on-topic for the thread.
I'm glad the forums are back up though~ Hurray. =D
(Edit - yeah, post was definitely lost, along with a cookie. Bleh. I guess there's no way to recover that post? The cookie was nice, but I'll have to consider that just gone as well.)
-
That's been a long wait, but it looks like it was worth it :XD:.
-
I seem to have lost a post as well, but it's no biggie. I'm glad the forums are back - good work, SLi.
-
Yay!! The forums are back!! *happy*
Thank you SLi, nice job!
-
Good that the forums are back up, thank you
-
Another Update:
Been in contact with LW, and the domain will be pointed to the new server soon. When that happens you will get a nice page saying so :D
Also the e-mail domain: web.de and any coming from .ru have been banned from accessing the site due to SpamBots.
If you are a legitimate user with a web.de or .ru e-mail address post in the Help Board (guest access allowed) with your username and I'll change your e-mail to a temporary one so you can log in again.
Sorry for this, but it has to be done to help reduce the appearance of SpamBots
-
FYI: .info e-mail domains are now banned also for the same reason as above.
-
I know its been a while.
I'd hoped to have the new system up, but me having the flu slowed me down and then the converter would not work properly.
So until its working properly, I've brought the original system back online.
The site is now on its new server finally, hopefully we will see a marked improvement in site performance.
Update: fixed bug causing the forum not to display (white screen or connection error)
-
Forums back on-line.
Some changes:
Users registered before 1st January 2007 and with 0 posts have been deleted.
Intro Archive cleaned out (reduced from 18 pages down to 4 pages)
Test Board cleaned up
Trash Board emptied.
New post thread created (:P)
Last Song Syndrome Thread deleted and recreated.
Some further database tweaks.
Unfortunately the speed issue is still present. The above changes helped a little but not as much as I was hoping for.
I will keeping working on it, but I'm running out of ideas.
-
Well I was able to log in more quickly than before today. Maybe it's my ISP though... :XD:
-
I've submitted a post on my hosts forums, hoping somebody there might suggestion something I've overlooked.
Baring that, I'll have to get my host to look into it (which I'd rather avoid since it may cost me money - the joy of self-managed servers :P)
-
The thing that is the slowest here is looking into a thread. The home page and sub-forums are okay. When you click on a topic to read it is when the horrible slowdown occurs. Responding to posts via quick reply or quote works great and going back to the forum page is again normal.
-
Which is why it has me baffled :angry:
-
I've finally managed to solve the slowness issue.
It took an upgrade of the database server to do it, as well as the forum software.
As a result somethings are different/missing for the moment (due to the upgrade)
1: Themes - our custom themes have bugs due to missing/changed functions in this new version, they will be fixed and made available again soon.
2: Arcade - incompatible with the new version, will try to update - UPDATED
3: Forum shop - again incompatible, may or may not return.
4: Characters remaining on post topic/reply screen missing. Will return shortly. - UPDATED
5: Who is online is at bottom of the index page now, will see if I can change.
6: Recent posts mod was incompatible, will try to update. - FIXED
7: News forum topics not showing in all forums, will try to fix. - FIXED
8: Gallery picture not showing yet, will return.
9: New feature: Edit post limit time, after post is made, editing is only available for 24 hours after its creation. Edits after that time can be requested by PM a mod/admin.
10: Lost of Spoiler tag - will return shortly. - UPDATED
I don't think I've missed anything, I'll do my best to get the forum back to the way it was.
At least it is as fast as it used to be ;D
-
Following on from my last post.
You might find some new things kicking around, but I won't say what they are ;)
Also, revival plans will start to be put into action.
I won't say all of them, but I give one to satisfy you all. :keke:
The Calander banner contest will be returning soon ;)
-
Finally the speed is back to normal. Good work, SLi!
And, just because I enjoy being a pain in the ***: you don't happen to know what's up with the avatars? Or maybe it's just mine... See, I tried changing it, but my account keeps telling me that 'the attachments upload directory is not writable. Your attachment or avatar cannot be saved'. Not that it's that big of a deal - I can survive without an avatar - but if it's a problem for many users, something's ought to be done about it.
-
Ando: Thanks.
The update of the forums must of reset some directory permissions. They are now fixed.
You should be able to update/upload your avatar.
-
You should be able to update/upload your avatar.
Nope, it still won't work. Maybe I should clarify; it's been like this for a week or so, maybe longer. Well, perhaps it'll take a couple more hours until it works.
-
Well, it worked for me now..

Arcade is not functional but then, who really uses it anymore? Waste of space with the games currently in it.
-
New feature: Edit post limit time, after post is made, editing is only available for 30 minutes after its creation. Edits after that time can be requested by PM a mod/admin.
bit strict. tvrage.com has the same rule, but its still a bit too strict :-S
-
No edits allowed after 30 minutes?!! Not cool. Thanks for for killing the Cartoons and Comics A-Z Game since it can no longer be updated.
-
I didn't even think of that.
Hmmm. See what I can do about excluding that.
Most forums have the rule simple to prevent posters from screwing up the topic by changing their posts.
Its more and more common, in fact excluding this one, all but one of the forums I visit stops editing after a short time (and that is a fair few).
I'll turn it off for the moment, but it might come back
Arcademan: Sorry about that, didn't even think of that need :'(
-
ComicBloc Forum has a 15 minute edit feature. Neo-Geo Forum has an edit feature in selected parts of the forum only and I believe after a week, no edits are allowed. TOKYOPOP currently has no time limit on edits I believe. Since I'm a moderator there, I can edit anything. I believe a fair time limit on edits should be used here however 30 minutes could be a little fast...24 hours perhaps?
-
I'll consider that.
*Thinks of a way for exclusions*
-
Update:
MySpace link in profile now.
LiveJournal link not present until the mod is updated.
-
Set to 24 hours before editing is not allowed.
Arcademan: see if you can still edit the Master Thread ;D
-
I think the only one's who actually can edit topics without the time limit are moderators though ne?
-
Admins, Mods (Global and Normal) and Arcademan for his topic :keke:
-
do people still have the option to lock or delete their own topis?
-
As far as I know - yes.
-
Just a question, why did the apearance of the page change????
-
because our old themes don't work until they are fixed to work with this new version of the forum.
-
This thread is really old. I think that you should make a new one.
-
This thread is really old. I think that you should make a new one.
What would be the point of that?!!
-
Beats me.
Arcademan: see if you can edit your post now please
-
Beats me.
Arcademan: see if you can edit your post now please
I have the 'modify' icon on my messages now.
-
This thread is really old. I think that you should make a new one.
There really isn't much point in making a new one when the new one will have the same purpose as this one, why clutter up the board with another topic that's exactly the same as the previous ;)
-
I noticed that we can eat cookies now too?
-
I'm still not sure if it the cookie system will remain yet.
-
new mirror topics are only needed if a thread gets excessivly long. this one is only 5 pages long, so theres no need for a new one yet.
btw, im lovin the new speed on this. before it took FOREVER fot the page to go, and on cable no less.
-
btw, im lovin the new speed on this. before it took FOREVER fot the page to go, and on cable no less.
and I thought I was the only one like this! I'm beginning to like this skin.
-
the only thing that i see diferent really, is that the webpage cookie doesnt change. i have to refresh on my replies pge like i do with FF... its nothing to really coomplain about ho...
-
Hey SLi?
I think something else broke :(
"Sorry - you don't have the proper permissions to post spoilers. "
Someone asked me how to use spoilers, so when I sent the message it suddenly gives me that :(
-
When I tried, I received the exact same message as Kasawa.
-
I'll fix that, damn permissions.
Ok, Everyone should be able to post spoilers now.
By the way, can anyone access the arcade: http://www.capturedwings.net/forums/index.php?action=arcade ?
-
By the way, can anyone access the arcade: http://www.capturedwings.net/forums/index.php?action=arcade ?
An Error Has Occurred!
You are not allowed to access arcade.
Just for that, I ate another cookie of yours :haha:
-
Meanie!
Arcade access restored. It should work now too.

Here's a cool arcade from the Neo-Geo Forum 8)
-
funny, I'm seeing 35 games installed.
*scratches head*

I stand by my previous post. Maybe it's an IE thing?!!
-
Seems to be working on IE for me.
(under a guest account - which can see the arcade but not play the games)
-
I can play game's just fine here :)
-
Still can't get them to come up.
Doesn't matter to me...the arcade here is pretty lame anyway.
-
one thing i miss is that box in the corner that showed recent replies. it was a short cut to some threads, such as ones for new chapters and such
-
It's on the bottom of the board now....
-
that will soon be changed :D
-
Wow the place looks great!! thought I would give some positve reinforcement. It looks so clean and organized and works great! I like it! :)

*scratches head*
Still stand by my posts:
No games available for playing
-
Are you saying you can't "play" the games are just that their aren't any that interest you?
-
The...games...do...NOT...load...UP!!!
Think I made that clear in my original and previous posts!!!
-
Strange, permission wise everything is fine.
It works for others, strange it isn't for you.
-
The games work fine for me. Everything's pretty much in working order for me. It's probably user end.
-
Kasawa Lanford do they work for you?
-Trying to work out if its a result of being in multiple member groups
-
Just tested out several games. They work just fine.
-
Guess I'll be like Rudoulph and not be included in any reindeer games...and for the record, it has NOTHING to do with my computer.
-
Well it ain't this end or nobody would be playing :(

Update:
I'll be back working on this site within the next couple of days.
For those that didn't know my laptop died on my a couple of weeks ago.
I've just got back from a 3 day trip to get another one - I had to go interstate to get one (saved me $900 in the process).
-
er, the new "5 word limit" thing is a bit strict. yes there oughta be a limit, but 5 words is rather much. maybe 3 or 4. i tried posting this on the spoilers thread and had to edit a dozen times before it would let it go thru :S
*drools*
http://su-chan.livejournal.com/140001.html
the splash.... kuro-fai.... *collapses*
-
the only thing i was worried about was the fact you couldn't edit your posts after a certain time anymore. this would have caused me a lot of trouble when TRC 3rd starts airing and i would start doing the downloadtopic but since that 3rd season will never be made/aired.....XD
-
For anyone that is interested, the gallery is back online.
*just need to try to find its custom theme again - seem to have lost all my backups*

Theme Change: some of our older members may remember the first theme we had: SS in Love
Well its back, as default for a few days. I will be doing each theme, and making it default for a few days, so I would like anyone who notices any bugs to please let me know so they can be fixed.
Bug Topic:
http://www.capturedwings.net/forums/index.php/topic,4130.0.html

Theme changed to SS Returns.
Same deal, post any problems.
- Access problem fixed, sorry people.
(Same on those that have me on IM's, they could of alerted me!)

YAY I LOVE S&S RETURNS <3
I mean, awesome. The site's working again!
I still think this warrants a new thread though. AND a notification e-mail to all CW.net forum members.
I found one design flaw in S&S Returns, however. The tables are divided by dark brown borders, where there's normally supposed to be a blank padding, or at least a white border.
-
There is a bug topic to post that kind of stuff in :okay:
Also, since I don't know if this problem was around before, SSinLove will be returning to default again.
-
glad to be badk... are the smilies fixed too?
one way to find out :)
-
Yep, the smilies are all fixed, apparently. All of them are showing up. I'm guessing it's because some of them were tied to a certain theme, and that theme didn't exist on the server. Now that the themes are back, the smileys are fixed. =)
-
This is awesome SLi, wonderful. *tosses cookies* For your hard work! ^^
-
still cant post spoiers outside the anime and the manga sections... =P
ah well, one thing at a time ^^;;;
-
Spoilers still on the to-do list, can't figure out their problem yet, doesn't help that they work for me.
- Theme switched back to SSinLove, as before, post any problems in the theme bugs topic.
-
why not create a second account, and change it's permmsions till you notic it. like first make it a forum mod, then go up from there?
found a wierd and anoying bug...*goes to post in bug thread*
-
Funny how I still CAN NOT get the games to come up for me so I tried something else...my other account here (yes I have one other here) and guess what? My other username has access to the games.
Conclusion? For some reason, only my username has no game access. Case solved.
-
Actually Arcade.. there is a eason for the problem as well.
When another board that I currently admin on updated to a better version of SMF, some of us found we could no longer access the game's section either.
Conclusion? Something screwed up in the update process, not sure if it was account related or not, only that it's not permission based though it has to do with some other code in SMF. Something that can't be fixed, so the only way around it is to create a whole new account and work from there.
Of course, you could always have that account deleted, recreate one, ask SLi to up your post count to what it is right now (and yes that is possible)
Naturally, that's your choice though ;)

I think it has to do more with the way my account here is set up. I'm in a unique position here but it's something I rather not discuss openly. In any event, my 'secret' account can access it which is fine. No biggie whether or not I'll use the arcade since the same old crappy games are still there ;)
-
Isn't having two accounts against the rules?

I have my reasons.

I have my reasons.
so.. shouldn't you get a warning :3

so.. shouldn't you get a warning :3
Sorry, I cannot give myself a warning. Tried but the program won't recognize someone giving themselves a warning or a ban.
In many places where I'm a moderator or part of the administration, I make a 'regular' account so that I can view the forum the same way as a regular member. Mods tend to see things in a forum that aren't the same as forum regulars so that's how I can tell how the actions of the administration affect the flow of the place. That's all. No harmful intents in doing such...just looking at the forum from twin perspectives.
-
so its like s secret identity ;P
i once had 2 accounts on a site that no longer exists. i wanted to do it because something happened in home and i wanted a break from being a powerful person and play an RP with myself :S and i was thankful for that second account so when my first account got hacked i was able to use it to redeem myself, so having a second acoount aint all that bad, so long as its not used for evil (like ive seen some people do...)

haha, this amuses me so much XD
-
Instead of creating another thread, I'll post this here.
Due to the increasing annoyance of spambots, the Help Center Forum, which was previously allowed guest posting has had that permission removed.
It was really the only way to stop them. My apologies to everyone, but spambots are the scourge of the internet and this had to be done.
-
It's for the best. No one wants to see that crap here (or in any forum for that matter).
-
Why guests were allowed to post within the help forum to begin with is beyond me...
-
uhh... to get help perhaps? ;)
Like when they are registering and encounter a problem with the process
-
Due to what just happen with this board, admin approval of new user accounts has been reenacted.
Sorry, but it had to be done, accounts should hopefully be approved quickly now :)

Posting this update here:
WARNING: This post might be a bit technical for some people, and for that I apologize.
In a few days, one of my registered domain names will expire.
This domain name was originally used, just so the web server had a name on the internet. I later changed that name.
Currently capturedwings.net uses that old domain name, to point to the Name Servers (that find where the site is on the net).
When the domain expires the domain will no longer be able to get the site IP (Internet Protocol Address - the numbers that tell where a computer is located).
I've sent a message to LW, via his journel contact page, advising him of this, hopefully he'll get the message and do the needed updates.
Note: Only Capturedwings.net is affected by this change. CapturedWings.org will continue to function, so if you are accessing this site via .net, please change to .org if suddenly you can't access the site.
-
Another Notice:
gmail.com domains are no longer able to register accounts here, this is due to a massive influx of spammer accounts using the gmail.com domain.
Note: This ban only stops new accounts registering with gmail.com, those members that use one, should have no problems.
Also if a g-mail account is your only account, I believe you can still use @googlemail.com instead (unconfirmed)
-
Notice:
If you are planning on registering with @mail.saratov.com, you won't be able to. A general search has found this mail to be associated with a lot of spammers, so I've decided to ban this mail from being used. If you use this mail, but don't do this type of stuff, then I apologize but you'll have to use a different e-mail.
Thank you.

As a follow-up to my previous post, capturedwings.net no longer works, when it will I can't say.
So please use capturedwings.org and let others know (who might not know).
Thanks.
-
Another update to CW.net.
LW has decided to let the domain go, as such only capturedwings.org will work for here on in.
I've sent him a message through his blog to see if I can get the domain before its too late (if it isn't already).
(I don't hold my breath, as I didn't get a response at all from my last message to him)
His last domain CSS&S, was never released after he let it go, kept playing transfer between registers, and will be 2010 before it is next up for expiration.
Last time I attempted to get it, greedy registers (read scammers) wanted like a $1000US for it.
-
Also FYI the other sites associated with this place also needs an .org to access like the Fan Fiction Site (http://www.capturedwings.org/fanfiction)
-
noted :)
-
capturedwings.net is now restored and under my control.
Enjoy peoples!
-
Yay! :D
-
Very good. I know it's been almost an ongoing war to get it so congratulations are in store :)
-
You have no idea, the host it was registered with was a pain to deal with. Pitty I'm stuck with them for 2 months before I can transfer to another register (stupid ICANN rules)
-
It may be a pain but in a couple of months it's all yours. Good things come to those who wait :)
-
Posting this as an advanced warning:
Shorting, I'm replacing this server with a better one (for less then what I was paying before).
While, I hope this server will stay up as I preform the move (as I've been told can be done), I will be taking a back-up of this site now just in case.
I'm not closing down the site during this period, as in past times, its just not nice to do when things are out of my control.
-
Server transfer is now complete.
Hopefully this server may be a bit faster then the old one.
Apologies for the extended down time, but it was out of my hands (DNS propagation - this took the longest- and problems with the Server Control Panel Software).
-
CapturedWings has been updated to SMF 2.0.1
Theme is default for the time being.
Additional settings rolled out:
reCaptcha added to registration.
Users with no post count now must answer a question to post.
Some others thing to hopefully drop spam attempts to a low level.
-
Heh. Talk about screen shock when I came here this morning.
-
hehe, Sorry about that. but as typical with forum upgrades themes get broken, so its default for the time being :D
-
For a second there I thought my link took me elsewhere o_o
