Title: Things are returning to normal (2009)
Post by: yksehtniycul on August 29, 2009, 01:37:13 AM
I've noticed http://www.digitaldevildb.com/bbs/ works now, though we are still having trouble with the main website at http://www.digitaldevildb.com/.

http://www.digitaldevildb.com/index.php works however. At any rate things are slowly coming around for what it's worth. Feel free to tell the world http://www.digitaldevildb.com/bbs/ is back, and hopefully http://www.digitaldevildb.com/ will be as well asap.

Yay! :D Not sure if everything's fully back to normal just yet, but at least everything's workable :p

It's going to take me a while to get everything back to / as good as it was.

You're right... I was able to get to the front page from http://www.digitaldevildb.com/ just now, so I guess one of the host support people fixed that for us in the meantime.

Chirp chirp,

I'm sorry but I don't know what to do next with this place...

I could invest a lot of my time into fixing it up back to normal, but there is no interest, so I'm sorry, but I just don't know what I should do (I feel like others should be doing more basically)


I setup the wiki, but the other sysop who was (and is technically still) on board, has been under the weather apparently, and now says he's backed up for a couple weeks. That was all I had going for the place. So right now, I got nothing.

And like I say, if others don't start pitching in, I'm not super ready to spend hours fixing stuff.

*shrug* I'm kind of out of ideas though, so eh. Having part-time school/work now doesn't help the free time situation though XD I kinda wonder what happened to Emilio though... o.O;

^Last I checked, just a few days ago, his profile said he had been logged in that day (Emilio)

PS: Just to be clear. It's not that I have no interest in the website, though technically I never really have had much. It's just that I feel I'm just here to keep the site working, and really that's all I can spare time to do. So if people don't chip into the site, there is not even reason for me to keep it alive. I do this out of a sense of obligation to Megaten to keep at least one committed fansite there for anyone who wants to be an active member of a Megaten community.

I also do it because it often presents interesting development challenges/experience for me. But like I'm not the go to guy for new content. Others have to be there.


Speaking of which. I did get an email from Wolfzau when I sent out the last newsletter who apologized for being away, and offered to come back. I think (as I recall) he had to leave China for the UK so he lost contact for a while. Also there is this guy named "Benedict X" who offered to chip in a long time back and I never saw a letter he sent to www. digitaldevildb .com at gmail.com until I went to write that newsletter. I sent him a reply and he sent a reply back. But I don't know what to make of him. He keeps saying he has all these degrees but seems incapable of using forums to interact with the website... keeps insisting on email contacts, which I don't understand personally. Anyway, I think you're the official site Editor Jessicat like it / can do anything about it / or not... so you might want to email this guy and see if you can get him to do anything.


I can write Wolfzau a letter and get this X guys email address when I can get around to it....

Just for the record,

The downtime yesterday was not our fault. The webhosts infrastructure was on the fritz all day... no news yet if there are any lasting adverse effects. Everything appears normal.
