Closing of ACF.

[7minutes]

ACF will be closing down!

Err...Now that i have your attention.

I will be closing down acf soon on a temporarily basis as i have to switch hosting companies as my current hosters have been treating me rtaher poorly *sniffs*

In the downtime i will HOPEFULLY, get cinder (the admin) to do some updates, please PM me any ideas for updates, basic and advance and i shall see what i can do.

Following discussions with cinder i may be getting control of acf and be having a proper web designer to update t he site on a monthly basis.

Well, i'll let you know more info as time passess.

Any of the oldies and new starts, thank you for your benign and admirable patience....

[Mac]

Dude, can you tell us the date of when downtime will begin?

[Lady Sano]

and when it'll be back, maybe.... possibly.........?

[Mac]

It's temporary, LV, whilst he switches hosts. That's all. ^^; it'll be back up after that.

[Wardishy]

Does that mean we will have to start all over from scratch, with the topics and such? :(

[Mac]

No.

The forum's database won't be deleted so the posts and topics should still be here when the site comes back up.

[Wardishy]

Oh, good. I just wanted to make sure.

[Keated]

Unless of course, there's another cataclysmic pruning going on? ;)

[The Guiltiest Gear]

Dude, can you tell us the date of when downtime will begin?i was wondering too,and perhaps estimated uptime..uh is that a word @.@

ill miss the place,but if i can survive 1 downtime i can survive another

[Keated]

ACF will be closing down!


Can you promise me that if we ever DO shut down totally, you'll inform people in large pink writing? XD

[Mac]

xD

Keat, I don't think the great ****-up of 2004 will ever happen again now that I can prune stuff. ;)

[Lady Vamp]

Dude, can you tell us the date of when downtime will begin?

Yesh, I would also like to know. And when it'll be back up. Could you maybe PM me because I doubt I'll remember to look back in the thread.

[Saeba]

the only forum i get on....damn

[Mac]

Okay, I've got some particulars from 7minutes

a) The site will still be up for a while. However, the site will be taken down within the next two weeks

b) downtime should last a short while, depending if cinder gets too involved or not.

That's all that he really told me right now. So there isn't much of a reason to panic. ^^;

[Hara Michiyo]

7minutes is my boyfriend, and this is the first I've heard of this! I want to know how long for, and when too. Maybe I'll find out when I see him this evening.

[ReiRei]

well glad to know it will be on a better server! Keep us posted please

[7minutes]

Unless of course, there's another cataclysmic pruning going on? ;)

No, no pruning. Pruning is bad, very bad.

I'm talking, well i was talking with Cinder about this as i've found a better site that wont hassle me as much but, suddenly, talk with Cinder has come to a grinding halt :cry:

No new updates, sadly.

[Lady Vamp]

So is ACF still closing down?

[NP]

pruning? it makes things go wrinkly?

[Mac]

pruning? it makes things go wrinkly?

well no, but the last time someone prunced the forum they screwed up. xD

well, second to last time. I prunced the site about two months ago and nothing went wrong. o.O;

[Lady Vamp]

What is pruning? And is ACF still closing down or not?

[Mac]

What is pruning? And is ACF still closing down or not?No it isn't closing down!! >< it never was anyway....

and pruning is uh ....... removing dead topics from the site to fre bandwidth.... yeah.

[Hara Michiyo]

Yeah, like I did, and slayed everyones post counts.

Cinder is being his usual lazy bugger self, it will change serveers, just, sometime.

[The Guiltiest Gear]

so its uncertain wheather its still going down this week @.@?

[frank]

*shrug* donno, dude.

[Kharmy]

O_o Huh? Closing down?

[Mac]

O_o Huh? Closing down?for a server change. it isn't pernament. :D

[Lady Vamp]

That's what I meant by "closing down" :swe2:

[7minutes]

Hmm, I'm not speaking with Cinder at the moment, its HIGHLY unlikely ACF will change servers, so no downtime and no updates.

Sorry Guys, this is a nightmare.

[Erk Mizuhara]

I wish Cinder would just hurry up and sort this stuff out.

[Mac]

Yeah, I just figured out why the bloody shop doesn't work. :/

[BrokenWings_Sene]

why.

[Mac]

it probably won't make sense to anyone that knows nothing about SQL or progamming.

basically, there's some sort of syntax error relating to line 3 of the shop's code. that's all. o_O;

[7minutes]

Cinder informed me he is planning to do some work to acf.

*dies*

[Mac]

Cinder informed me he is planning to do some work to acf.

*dies*:/

That's good new, but you really need to get the servers changed. Have you seen how slow the site is? ><

Oh yeah, tell him I know what's wrong with the shop. Tell him there's some sort of syntax error in line 3 - if he doesn't believe me, tell him to use the ADR convertor to try to convert the shop and it'll tell him.

[kurisu]

bummer. im having problems with my shop, but my site is down at the moment anyway so its not effecting anyone.

[7minutes]

Spoke with Cinder again, we are changing hosts, so we'll have more leg room for that whopping 100 page of 'What you think keated/frank/7mins etc looks like" thread. Also, Cinder spoke of removing the front page, instead you'd come straight to the forum. This is mainly due to the lack of updates...

Also, i've pm'd Keated requesting some info from him and looking forward to a speedy reply.

Did you tell him about the shop bug thingy?

And what host are you changing to? I know a guy who runs a server company called Neoservers LLC, it's a really decent server you know o_O

[Keated]

As I said in the PM, it's pretty much all quiet on the western front here at the moment, just a few RPG problems, and if the system's being replaced then hopefully these problems will go.

Oh, there was also a problem with name colour changes... I'm not really the best person to ask about technical faults XD Haven't had that many complaints recently though

[frank]

I know 7 minutes can be cryptic, but what thread is he talking about?

And names for colors or vice versa, most members just accept that it doesn't work and new ones figure it 's bells and whistels anyway.

[The Guiltiest Gear]

but when is the question X.x

[Keated]

tonight was, I beleive, mentioned

well yes, the RPG does need tweaking i.e. the help files being installed, weapons and stuff added to the inventory....

I still want cinder to add a 'dragon' race. I even found some dragon sprited he could add to the database >.>;

on the shop - like I said before, there's a code error. That's why it doesn't work. all cinder needs to do is to check line 3 o_O; there's some dumb syntax error.

In black and white. Syntax error on line 3. :/ That's why the shop doesn't work.

[NP]

So... it's updated?
