Alright, since I see people have had some questions for me and stuff I'm posting a little "talk to the webmaster" topic here. I'll be watching it, so any posts you make will be answered ASAP by me. Hooray!  ;D

Feel free to post questions, requests, complaints, ideas, and the like here, so long as it's relevant and follows the forum rules, blah blah blah.

And don't feel bad if you have an honest complaint, I suppose I'll try to take it as constructive criticism. ::) Maybe.

So... go! Now!

Do you know C++?
Do you know CSS?
Do you know Javascript?
Do you know HTML?
Do you know BB Code?
Do you know the muffin man?

Anyways, first of all, I don't webmaster the forum, I webmaster the main site.

mmmmhm, do you need an updater for the main site?

KP was administrator of his own site, Mabe Village. It was more about content and didn't really have a forum.

kamakaziplumber

Yes, Mabe Village was my site. It's down now, but if it was up you'd have no doubt about my webmastering abilities. Those who have visited it know what I'm talking about, alright.

And, we don't really need an updater right now... technically I'm the updater, as well as Alpha and everyone who's ever posted on the main page. So... yeah.

Alright, I was gonna say because I'd update daily for you guys, seen how I am on here 24/7 :D

What happened to Mabe Village, again, KP? :-\



Advanceshipping and Rion had better be Chuck Norris approved.

JDog

I think it had something with the host going down or something like that.

Keaton

Probably got h4x0red, like mine... :sigh:

JDog

Oh wait, I think it was something like, only the main site page wouldn't view or something close to that. I don't really remember, he told me once, but I forgot.

kamakaziplumber

It's down because my host did a server change and my files only got half-uploaded, then something else happened related to the server and my files were completely deleted. I have them, I just have nowhere to upload them right now. Maybe one day I'll get it back up. Someday...

Oh, well, thats just the weirdest thing ever. Shouldn't your site go with the host completely when it switches?

Hi no Seijin

You know, you could've told Nogare that, because he jumped to conclusions and accused me of hacking your site.

The host does simply that-- it hosts the files.  The actual site is a word document or a publisher file that you use software for to make it interactive and put on the internet.  The host also takes care of uploading all the data, and storing the extra stuff that you put onto the site.

At least, that's how it was back when I had a site... :feels old:
