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

wonderful,i knew that this forum has got a huge potential which was just waiting to be exploitedÂ

!
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' lifeÂ

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 membersÂ

!

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 postÂ

?

anyway we can handle that since the outcome is worthyÂ

Off-line will occur within the next 24-48 hours as I've had some minor setbacks (read: weekend coming

)

Sorry the delay. But rest assured change is coming

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.J.P · « **Reply #12 on:** November 11 2006, 09:38 am »

Well the order for a server has now been placed.

Now all we can do is wait

Sandra-chan · « **Reply #13 on:** November 11 2006, 09:45 am »

It sounds good to me!!

Just one question, will the page look very different from how it looks now? It dosen't matter if it will, I'm just curiousÂ

D.J.P · « **Reply #14 on:** November 11 2006, 10:02 am »

Now that is something you will just have to wait and see

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.

Kuro-puppy · « **Reply #18 on:** November 13 2006, 11:49 pm »

maybe that shopthingy where you can use your cookies will finally work ^^

Arcademan · « **Reply #19 on:** November 14 2006, 11:54 am »

Then again maybe we'll get rid of the cookies system once and for all.
