Long overdue, but a forum upgrade was needed, and a good wipe as well…

We’re now running SMF 2, and I’ve got a few kinks left to kick out and such. The logo is one thing I will be changing, don’t worry.. just something I gotta make first beforehand. If some of the text is hard to read for some of the viewers, let me know and I’ll see about changing them. Be specific though, or else I won’t be able to find the right value that needs to be changed in the CSS.

Anyway, feel free to register on the forum, have fun, and enjoy the place. That’s what we’re all about.

‘Bout time ain’t it? I finally got a stats service running along with a site to go with it, so its all purrdy. Yes, purrdy, not pretty… purrdy. Texan in me. =P

Ok, that aside.. you can follow the Stats link on the right side (making an iframe would be too much of a hassle on a WordPress page, trust me), and while the post is here, y’all can use this link: ShadowHime Stats. Have fun, and expect a few changes soon when I update the CSS info to reflect ShadowHime colors… and change a few images.

Alright then, the Information page has been updated to include the new server info. The shadowhime.net is set to a round robin, so you may get either server, while the other one, irc.lolifox.net, will get you to the new one.

On a side-note, SSL is supported on both servers. I think I forgot to update something in the tutorials area or something, so I’ll fix that when I get a free moment.

Before anyone asks me, no, I have no intentions of supporting IPv6 at this time. Its still a pretty new tech (kinda.. its been around for some time over in Europe), but since we’re US-based, there are barely any IPv6 providers and such. None of the servers are compiled for IPv6 support at this time. If it becomes widely popular, maybe then I’ll reconsider on recompiling the servers for the support.

I made a slight change to the pages. Most allowed you to comment in them, but I disabled that as I didn’t want people commenting in them. Surprised I never figured that out before…

The major change will be on the Services page. I decided to move the BotServ Rules to its own little area and I’m going to make a form y’all can use if you wish to use that instead of having to go on the IRC. Bogus requests will automatically get deleted. If you had a legitimate request and it goes unanswered for a few days (say.. 5), then you may try again. If still nothing, feel free to bug us in #help about it.

This is an odd one. The irc.shadowhime.net has been working, but now it doesn’t. I think when I renewed the domain, the arecord got deleted somehow which provided the ability to use irc.shadowhime.net to connect to the server. Funny, because my shippo.shadowhime.net still works fine for stuff I do locally and all that. Well, I sent in a request to my web host and see what he has to say. If anything, this should be fixed by the time you even see this post.

[Fixed] Read the comments.

So uh yeah, Noratetsu failed me and I waited long enough. Took upon myself to do something simple unless someone wants to do something a bit more fancy. Is it the best? No, far from it. I’m no expert in Photoshop and I barely know anyone who is. And anyone who does do graphics often require money, money of which I don’t have.

Anyway, for me, its alright. At least its anime-esque for once, so I guess that’s all that matters. I’ll see about fine-tuning a couple things when I get a chance, but I think for now, it’ll do.
