Title: Site Maintenance
Post by: Ramsus on August 05, 2009, 08:26:19 pm
Site maintenance is mostly complete -- feel free to make full use of all the online portions of the site.

However, expect all of the chat services to be down for another few weeks. If you have alternative chat services to offer for the interim, feel free to post them as a reply. I'll add them to a list of alternatives for the chat page.

Oh no ;_;. How will I survive....  :picardno

Too bad it has to be right before I'm leaving the country for over a week.

Have fun with the maintenance : ).

Maybe this time that dreaded error that prevents me from coming to the forums for a week or two will be gone.

You're probably on top of this, but the site clock is six minutes slow...

I too has it six minutes late. Wait, actually five. Maybe not from the future but actually connecting to the Compendium's past?

Darn.  Well, on the bright side, there are season premieres for me to watch this weekend.

 :( *sniff, sniff* the final season of Monk.

 :) New season of Psych.

I can wait until Monday.  Just gotta pull through the weekend. 

Can't wait to start the CT Pinball Project.

Someone should offer the entire site available as a torrent download, updated every 3 months or so, for backup purposes, and for something to read during downtime and periods without internet.

I've often wished I had the entire compendium avalable to read through during periods of computer repair, no net access, and for fear that it might one day be gone, and so much great reading, thought provoking topics, and perfected information forever deleted.

Heck, it could spread and the compendium would never truly die.

Kind of like what OCRemix does with it's remixes, but with the compendium, every page and text file and board topic is important to someone. Not just the articles, but every link I click on here is relevent somehow, has info no other page has, and no other site has any of any of that.

I wish firefox had a "download whole site" option... :(

Heh.

Download ==> http://*.google.com ==> ALL

Actually, though, there's a good idea in this: You guys should package the entire encylopedic aspect of the site--the scripts, sprites, rips, and the encyclopedia itself--and offer it for download, either via torrent or directly.

Might be easy for some place to steal that stuff and make a site of their own >_>.

People like to steal sites a lot.

Man, I remember a long time ago I had this digimon downloads site that had some traffic. Well the ISP charged me for bandwidth usage and my dad was mad so actually he ended up changing ISPs... so somehow someone stole the site and uploaded it onto their server. One day I found it and I was like "oh haaaay, that's my site : D. Awesome that it's still up".

No worries; we religiously back things up.

Even the Concerts page, which I'm probably not going to update again, has had every Youtube video linked to it backed up.

Hey there,

when i first heard the IRC here was dying, i made a sister channel, and now its the unofficial IRC for here, with the webchat being the "official" chat...

irc.ircdotnet.net
#compendium (which will redirect to #chronopolis)

or www.ircdotnet.net

first link will give you a live chat.

so, mr ramsus, when will that webchat thing be back? id love to try and test it out.

Post by: ZaichikArky on September 03, 2009, 09:33:33 pm
To anyone trying to enter kando's irc channel: Right now, the port seems to have died. The new one we're using is 7001. I'm not sure when/if the old port will be operational. Also, the new port doesn't redirect to #chronopolis, so the channel is also #chronopolis.

I remember Zeality saying that Ramsus is really busy learning to play the guitar so he's not interested in working on the webchat indefinitely. You're better off going to the IRC though the problem that people have with it is that

1. Laith is a regular

and

2. No regulars from the Compendium go there anymore.

I'd go there a little more often, but I've been busy lately. These days, it seems like I just go there to talk to Teaflower anyway, so I may just quit going there all together... I would be more inclined to go if Z girl and Faf came like they used to, but neither really go there anymore... and if they do go there, they don't talk.

yea we get visits from zephira occassionally, as well as zaichick, but no fapnir :/

anyway port 6667 has been fine for some time.

irc.ircdotnet.net
#chronopolis

or www.ircdotnet.net and click the first link.

would be nice if this was linked to under the irc part of this page :(

I don't talk because it's an utter hellhole of Compendium and ZeaLitY insults rather than a proper IRC. I'll frequent it again should it improve, but from the way it is...

I'm getting accused of "spying" just for being there today, when the reason I'm there is:

yea we get visits from zephira occassionally, as well as zaichick, but no fapnir :/

Honestly, I mean jesus christ it's like the channel is just there for arguing. It was fun back when we could all just frigging talk and have fun, disagreements or not. Come on.
