Compilation Network Update BlogMar 1Wanted to let you know why I've been so quiet the past week. Priority ATM is getting news
system fully functioning. The old one is not only partially corrupted but software is out of date (--news is too, but will get to that). So I'm changing us over
to Fusion News which doesnt require registration to remove branding. So I'm re-entering all
our news into the new system. I'm about 1/2 way through so hope by the end its done I can
move onto site content and appointing some staff.
Really want to enable news commenting once I get the new system up. Without the forums, theres
not really a place for people to discuss new updates. So a news commenting system seems like
a good inbetween for people seeing were not even sure about whether the forums will return
or not.
Feb 23Final site, Before Crisis.net is up. Store is online too, but well out of date and in need of a review. Will leave that until after content updates. Have moved
temp info page now so all sites go direct to main page --easier for navigating between sites! Will give update on next part of the update process in next couple of days.
Feb 20Checking in to let you know that Crisis Core.net and Dirge of Cerberus.net are back online again. Hopefully get Before Crisis.net up this weekend before begining the content overhaul. Will remove the temporary page too when this is done.
Were also back in Google again. Surprised we retained our #1 spot for 'advent children' and other compilation sites are on the front search page too. :-)
Feb 17Greetings everyone! Has been a few days since I gave you all an update. Were now on the new host and Advent Children.net is completely back online. --Minus a few sections, fanart and the store. Compilation Ultimania is fully up too! The contact form is now working , you can use that for all your enquiries. Will be starting on Dirge of Cerberus tonight, followed by Crisis Core.net and finally Before Crisis.net.
Once I've got all the base sites up I'll be reviewing content. It sure needs it! I might need some peoples help for things I'm missing but I'll post on that later when thats worked out and I sort through this mess of extra files Yuna gave me.
Thanks for the patience. Have checked the webstat logs now we have them, and happy to see that people still come here so its not to waste! :-D
Feb 13I've found some hosting for the site. Talked to Summoner Yuna earlier today and shes going to be paying for that today (I got out of paying myself). Hoping tomorrow can start uploading to the hosting provider. Its only shared hosting but is a start and can always upgrade if the site proves to be popular again. Wont be uploading any more files until that has been set up now, so will continue to move files over when thats done.
Also have asked Summoner Yuna to create me some new headers for the site as the current ones are a bit dated now (very dated). Not sure if she wants to change the layouts as well but headers are a start.
Feb 12Most of Advent Children.net is now back online. Looks like some files are missing from the ones that Summoner Yuna gave me. I'll have to talk to her to see if she still has them or I'll hunt for them on the web. I'll be starting to upload Dirge of Cerberus.net tomorrow.
Dont forget to spread the word about the site coming back to all your friends!
Feb 11Have started uploading Advent Children.net. The news database is extremely messed up. The users database has been damaged and a lot more entries are missing than I remembered. Hope can get these back somehow.
