Mr. Krystal Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 Okay guys, as we planned, there's going to be changes soon. It may not happing for a couple more months, but DZ and I will likely be moving the site to a new server to increase speed and make things better all around. This means that at some point, the forums will be locked temporarily (probably just a couple of days), and the site will not get updated. However, we've done similar moves before so there's nothing to worry about. When we move, a couple other things are planned. For instance, we need to get the chat set back up. DZ has been researching stuff possible software solutions. I recently found this: http://www.ajaxim.com/ It's basically a chat client we can install on our own server, you can log in with your own username and chat that way. I've got some planned updates for the site too. Lots of content to get organized for us. I should be able to finish our Brawl section, all our other games section, start a fan games section, and get some more music up by this summer. I will finally start posting picture media to the site once we move. I think we should use either Gallery or ZenPhoto to handle our images, since images tend to require a different structure than our site can easily provide. I don't want to be around editing the HTML myself for that many photos. http://gallery.menalto.com/ http://www.zenphoto.org/ When we move to the new server, I have a proposition for all of you. As you know, I run the Krystal Archive. It's fairly popular place with lots of readers. I don't have a forum for the site and really don't want to manage another one. What do you guys think of creating a single additional sub-forum, under "Star Fox Series" titled "Krystal Archive" or something? Either way, I plan to encourage KA readers to come here once we have the server speed to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorAllosaurus Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 I wouldn't mind having a sub-forum for the KA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Star Fox Runner Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 Go ahead and put up the Sub Forum Mr. Krystal. It would "increase business" for both of the sites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabre Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 Can you/they get rid of the 45 second posting/edit rule? It's really annoiying, and causes errors, for me anyway. It is usually linked to the the site not responding when I go to make a post. Hopfully the server move will fix these, but just an option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have to discuss that with DZ, but I think we could decrease it a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DZComposer Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 The flood control shouldn't be applying to edits. If it is, please PM me the details of how I can recreate the circumstances that cause it. Hmm... AjaxIM seems neat, but the use of lots of HTTP requests makes me wonder how the server will handle it. It appearently needs a database, but there are no system requirements on the site. Which database does it need? MySQL? SQLite? Postgres? MSSQL Express (I hope not, no Microsoft PLEASE.)? Also, there is no mention of whether or not this is closed-source software. I would prefer that SFO stay 100% Open Source if possible (but that's an ideology thing). I'm not a big fan of javascript (including AJAX), but that is a pretty minor thing in this case. I may throw it onto my Linux box and see how it works. Oh, and extra awesome points to lordbowser for th DOTT avatar. I loved that game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
