Title: The other board...
Description: coming back, or not
Lady Timedramon - February 20, 2006 03:52 AM (GMT)
I wanted to know, before I started posting chapters of a story I'm working on, is the other board coming back, or are we here permanently? Because if the other board is returning, then I'll wait to post. If not, I'd like to post a couple of chapters for feedback.

From my knowledge, I'm on of few who read the annocement when the board came back to us the last time, it was some idiot turned Darkwave for 'possible illgeal activity' or something like that.. basicly against the sites terms. BUt the investigated and Darkwave explained to them and all and we got our board back. But this time, they are actully going through the board.Unlike last time. And from what I know, after asking TUN he said we'd probably be switching servers.. But I'm not sure of it all. BUt that's my personal knowledge.

I have no idea. The problem for DW is that the host is open from 9AM - 5PM Eastern time but he's on the west coast so by the time he gets home from school they've already closed. He's gotta find time one morning before school or something to call them and tell them to open up his account so that he can get all the data pertaining to the shrine so that he can put it up on another host. They've since ignored his e-mails so they are being a bunch of asses about it.
Silverwind - February 21, 2006 01:40 AM (GMT)
okay...i just reeeeeeeeeally need the site to come back. its okay if like it takes a while...but in my procrastinating ways I have not saved my fanfic....*is incredibly dumb*...
chellby - February 21, 2006 10:12 PM (GMT)
is there anything we can do to help with the problem?
and
what illegal stuff are they talking about?
*mumbles bad things*
FlamieofSapphire - February 21, 2006 10:22 PM (GMT)
This sucks... but atleast we have something to fall back on...
So really there is no set data that we might be up and running again?
Well I am not trying to rush anything.. just wanted to know. I sure hope the next hoster isn't an ass hole *kills rs shrine hoster*
Misha - February 21, 2006 10:47 PM (GMT)
Wow that sucks The Internet ppl are being such asses lately
Uchiha - February 21, 2006 11:34 PM (GMT)
^Indeed^ I really miss the shrine cause not all my buds are here yet! Stupid people that's not fair! :raspberry:
Mrs. Justine Elric - February 21, 2006 11:54 PM (GMT)
People please be patient with the new Shrine. Ok? I'm in no real rush to get the new shrine up & running. Be patient.
TheUltimateNewbie - February 24, 2006 01:16 AM (GMT)
The new shrine will be back in a few days. However, we gotta start from scratch. We lost EVERYTHING since they won't let DW get the files back. This means no posts, threads, skins, etc. We'll do a post count transfer since it would suck to start over for everyone.
Mrs. Justine Elric - February 24, 2006 01:18 AM (GMT)
That sucks, TUN! I can't believe this! Omg! *Starts to beat the people.* Ok, TUN I totally understand. *Continues to beat them.* EVIL!
The Great Alaskan Snow Dog - February 24, 2006 05:57 PM (GMT)
No... nothing? Oh, jeez, that REALLY stinks. Well, at least it will be coming back-- this substitute is really wacky for me and only lets me use it half the time. o.O
And when you say there's going to be a post count transfer... is that from this shrine or the new one? 'Cause it won't even make a difference if it's not from the new one-- I have, like, 250 fewer posts here than there. *laughs*
And I know I keep ranting on and asking and questions and stuff, but I have a couple more. (Just two, I swear. :p) One, will former events and happenings from the shrine be continued when it's restarted from scratch, like TUCD, fanfiction contests, and the FCC? And second, will we have to register again, or will our old accounts be transferred?
Hehe, thanks in advance.
Kole - February 24, 2006 06:44 PM (GMT)
Crap! That stinks. I had so much on the new shrine like the rps and stuff. Oh well, at least I don't have to worry about people ignoring my old fics. Jeez, people are being so cruel these days. And like the great alaskan snow dog, do we have to register again?
dark_as_light - February 24, 2006 06:49 PM (GMT)
i miss the new shrine! a lot of people haven't registered here, and they should becuase then we could all figure out someway to help DW. then we could all hang out at the new shrine like old times. that made a little bit of sense....
Twilight Spartian - February 24, 2006 08:10 PM (GMT)
Yea just to point out, i don't think a lot of people will be coming here, it took me like two weeks to get because i didn't know we were using it, plus i forgot the URL.

Everlasting - February 24, 2006 08:39 PM (GMT)
Oh, that's too bad. :( I'll miss all the stuff we're losing.
But hey, at least we can start "fresh"! And at least it's coming back.^^
WelcomeToParadise - February 25, 2006 12:26 AM (GMT)
It took me forever to realize we were here instead of at the new shrine cause it was all Germanified!!
AAH THE HOLOCAUST!! *cower hide*
*changes mind and pulls out gun* YOU ARE MINE HITLER!!! *charge*
Hahahaha :rofl:
Kay enough of that.
Now, I'm glad we're getting a post transfer, cause I was real close to being a veteran. Maybe I could just start at 5000 cause you love me. *bats eyelashes*
Well, hopefully we'll stop having problems after we switch hosts and the people who keep ignoring Darkwave get shot. Hehe. I'm going to start getting graphics now...I have nothing else to do, oh wait I have a story to work on, but it's non TT so I'll wait to put it up. And it's okay that we have to start over...who knows? We might think of better things to put up there than we thought of for the 'new' shrine.
Yay.
Miss Starfire - February 25, 2006 12:40 AM (GMT)
The new new shrine, that is! ;)
Avril L. - February 25, 2006 12:43 AM (GMT)
Whoa. We're 'starting over' AGAIN?! That really sucks. Oh, well, I guess we have no choice.
~*Starfire*~ - February 25, 2006 01:32 AM (GMT)
So like we have to post everything back up again? And we have to sign up all over again? O.O
Miss Starfire - February 25, 2006 02:11 AM (GMT)
WelcomeToParadise - February 25, 2006 02:36 AM (GMT)
Well no one takes my name, got it??? THERE'S ONLY ONE WTP.
Heh, actually, I was considering changing it.
CrimsonMirage - February 25, 2006 02:56 AM (GMT)
A new new shrine?
My god, I am so relieved. No more getting swamped with requests!!!! I shall make a limit on the number of requests I'll take at once, and it'll be alot more quicker, and I won't be stressed.
If anyone takes my username, they shall face the wrath of the real CM :o
The Great Alaskan Snow Dog - February 25, 2006 02:58 AM (GMT)
Oh, really? So I'm not going to be a little newbie anymore? XD *laughs* That is, I'll be a little newbie-- but WITH everyone else. Heh, okay.
So it's the new new shrine... XD. Just wondering (and yes, I know that I wonder A LOT), because the board is going to have to be restarted and everything, are we still going to have a spring fanfiction contest? 'Cause I was really looking forward to it. :p
Miss Starfire - February 25, 2006 03:03 AM (GMT)
If you guys want to have a Spring FF we shall have it! Oh, CM! May I be the first requester! We need userbars for the particpants of TUCD and the the finalists and the winners :) PLLEEEEASE!
CrimsonMirage - February 25, 2006 03:09 AM (GMT)
Anytime MS, you know I won't mind ^_________^
WelcomeToParadise - February 25, 2006 03:59 AM (GMT)
CM is cool like that; she always does ppl's graphics! She's awesome. *irresistible puppy dog eyes*
Hehe.
OMG Spring Fanfics. This year...are we still going to have a Non-TT category??
The Great Alaskan Snow Dog - February 25, 2006 04:38 AM (GMT)
Wicked! :D I'm looking forward to it, then. Heh, and am I allowed to participate if I'm on the FCC? (Wait... am I going to have to try out for it again?)
A non-TT category would be cool, probably, but I'm better for the TT-related stuff; that is, unless I were to write some HP junk, and I prefer writing TT over HP, so yeah. Eh, and now I'm rambling, so I'll just stop now. XD
WelcomeToParadise - February 25, 2006 04:59 AM (GMT)
I'm better at TT...but lately I've been like psychowriterblocked. So I tried an original and I sort of fell in love w/ the plotline so...yep...by springish I hope it's farther along...I'm only on chapter one.
Miss Starfire - February 25, 2006 06:17 AM (GMT)
This year will be a little different. I want to give everyone the same opportunity and reduce the popularity contest we had last Fall :)
Kole - February 25, 2006 06:06 PM (GMT)
I'm kinda glad cuz I wanted to change my username. (By the way, I was Kole on the ole new shrine...new old shrine... OH FORGET IT! My head hurts now. Anyway, I think I'll change my username to my new favorite movie(eventhough it hasn't showed yet). So if anyone copies it, they won't be found or heard from ever again. LOL. But my old names are up for grabs.
Uchiha - February 25, 2006 06:14 PM (GMT)
So will this place disappear once the old one comes back up again? We'll just have to start all over again just like we did here. This sucks but at least people who didn't come here we'll see back there.
"I'm a loser"
dark_as_light - February 25, 2006 10:40 PM (GMT)
oooo! a new new shrine?! that sounds fun! is this shrine still going to be around in case the new new shrine is shut down be the stupid people who shut down the first new shrine?
Miss Starfire - February 25, 2006 10:43 PM (GMT)
We have used this shrine as a backup several times now. I guess it will stay open in case something happens. I hope it doesnt but we never know.
WelcomeToParadise - February 26, 2006 12:30 AM (GMT)
Was popularity a big factor in our last fanfiction thingy??
Miss Starfire - February 26, 2006 12:48 AM (GMT)
Yes ma'm. We also had fics that were completed against fics that were not. Some other fics were 10 chapters long while others were 25+ chapters long. It was kinda unfair. But hey! We learn from our mistakes! This Spring 06 Fan Fic Awards will ve different. Yet, it is all for the best. Besides, nothing can be more strenuous than TUCD :p
The Great Alaskan Snow Dog - February 26, 2006 01:05 AM (GMT)
Eheh. I don't recall that being a factor in the last one... but that was Christmas, not the fall contest, and I wasn't even registered for that. (Yay for newbie ignorance! XDD)
So it's going to be up soon? Whee! *hyper*
Miss Starfire - February 26, 2006 02:51 AM (GMT)
Oh, no! I am not talking about the RS Winter one! The one I am talking about is the Fall 2005 FanFic Awards :p
The Great Alaskan Snow Dog - February 26, 2006 03:41 AM (GMT)
OH. *comprehends* Heh, sorry... ^^
