CapturedWings.net Community Update (Please read)
« on: November 03 2006, 12:30 pm »
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 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.

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

On an ephemeral evening, I tell a story to my friend.

Reflected behind my closed eyelids is a sweet field. Dauntless, I embrace you lovingly. I am together with you.

Out of love, I forge a pact with you. Like a breath, the wind will envelop you. You and I will be together wherever we go.

The heart of red will be enfolded in wind and forge the contract.

: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

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.
