Hey guys, as some of you may have noticed, my site when down about 3 weeks ago.

I was having a tough time with my host. The short of it is that the owner, who I personaly know and had an custom deal with, was unable to keep up with the demands of his job and hosting so he sold it to another person. That guy decided to leave huge gaping holes in on the server and eventualy it got hacked. The attack didnt effect my site however so i decided to wait it out. Finnaly it got to apache and the account manager (because of my custom account, my info was not contained there), taking my site down. So with some help, I moved to a new host and the site is back up.

I there is alot of users here that i host, so if you have files on my site, i need you to pm me so that i can tell you what the new procedures are going to be.

Any themers wanting hosting, now would be the best time to submit requests.

<shamelessplug>I would ask everybody visiting the themer section to visit the site so i can do some load testing</shamelessplug>

Feel free to post comments about the site and any questions that come up.

Yeah i noticed that when i first opened the page, not only are all the posts on the same day but also before i was born.

I think somehow the time is getting read as -1 from Epoch.

In a way I would like to request the opposite: The removal of the following themes.

DDR9:RED
A.O.I. projekt BLUE
DDR: XI DiSTORTiON

They are no longer representative of the quality level of my work. However, when PROJEKTXIII+ is out, feel free to put that up.

**laser123454321** · 01-30-2008, 12:03 PM

Ok with the condition that i keep foonmod + up.

It'll take me about 2 days to do that, but yeah.

Funny, as I always thought they were pretty decent themes. Better then anything I could make this century anyhow.

I've played around with all three at some point and liked what you did with them, but it's up to you I guess.

I'd like mine up, when/if it's finished...yeah, I started on Renaissance again, and hopefully this time, I'll get off my ass and finish it.

Really? I consider them embarrassing. They're still up on Anarchy anyway, it's just a matter of what the world outside sees my work as being.

I guess I request hosting for minimalia and selling out made simple, seeing as how they're not there yet. :s

**laser123454321** · 01-30-2008, 08:19 PM

Ok so i fixed the error with the date, turns out that the rss feed that i generate and read is using a new date format. So i just updated my rss parsing software and there yah go.

@ LANDMASTER . . . er . . . K//Eternal:
1) Whats with the name?
2) Im really having a hard time taking your files down. Even though this work is not up to your current standards, i would love to still host it (hell, it even acts as filler!)

@Aj187, K//Eternal, Oni-91:
I'm having a bit of an internal debate.

As i've told AJ before, im not quite happy about how the uploads are accomplished right now. Every theme having its own ftp is wrong and bad. But to get it to one ftp per a user would require rewriting the manager and that will delay any access or updates.

Any Thoughts?

1. SSB Brawl.

2. Er. In that case, you can keep it on there, but make sure you get all the ones in between, and if you do this, separate them from the others (to avoid messing with the alphabetical sorting) and put them in chronological order (RED, AOI, XI, AOI[S], NEX/RNX, XII, XIII, XIII+).

If you can't do that, please attempt to remove the old ones.

**laser123454321** · 01-30-2008, 08:50 PM

So let it be written, so let it be done.

Also any thoughts on waiting out or should i just set it up like before?

Rewrite it.
I'm kind of in the process of rewriting my Mii Editor to use a library which is more flexible, so I kinda know how that is.

k⁄⁄eternal · 01-30-2008, 09:17 PM

I don't think the level of autonomy/flexibility you're aiming for with your site is necessary considering that SM themes don't appear all that rapidly. A simple approach probably works better here.

**laser123454321** · 01-30-2008, 10:22 PM

Yeah i know it really isnt nessary, but it does help when people discover bugs, and then its real easy to update.

So i've decided im going to halfass it. The full rewrite would include the new upload, plus the ability for a user to add a file without my intervention. So when you wanted to host the new theme, you would just upload the smzip and then go to the manager, login, and press the add a theme(file).

Oh and could i ask you to put something in your sig explaining your current name, whatever it may be at that time
