The Return of the Update
« on: May 18, 2007, 10:03:02 pm »
Greetings all!
  Where do I start here, well I'll get to the point. With the more and more scarce appearances and updates from Chad, this site has started to fall apart, there currently is entire sections that aren't working or are missing completely. Having not be able to contact Chad through my super secret sources, I decided to contact gamespy and see if they could get a hold of Chad. Alas they were not able to, and so with the help of Chuck, a hosting manager for IGN (BIG thanks to him!), I have been given access to the site. Now I'm not sure where this leaves Chad, when and if he comes back. However I certainly would NOT be ousting him. He is after all the creator of this site.

  Now on to the future of this site, I plan to change everything completely with my new found powers of galactic PNF domination!. J/K, My actual goals first off are to get all the missing content fixed and perhaps add a few things that may have been missing. I'm also thinking of removing SC3D and combining all it's content with PNF. In preparation for these tasks, I'd like all of you to e-mail me with any content you find is missing or any broken links you find. Secondly if any of you have news or new content for the site please don't hesitate to send it to me. I believe I will be receiving the e-mail via starcon@classicgaming.com, However until I'm sure please feel free to send it to me at xr@classicgaming.com

Thanks and I look forward to serving the StarControl Community!

RUN!!!!!!!

LOL.  I told you we'd get in trouble! 

Okay, why is the "News and Updates" section at the bottom now?  That was severely disorienting.

Very very exciting times ahead it seems. IS the idea mostly to just fix the old content links, and update links to other SC projects? Or are you going to overhaul the way the site looks as well?

ALso, interesting that Chad shows up just at this point.

As you've got complete access to the site now, could you do a "find and repair any errors" in the forum maintenance menu of the administration center? I've got the impression there are a few errors, as some messages don't want to stay "read", and sometimes a board listing doesn't show all its threads.

THe forum I don't have total access to yet, as I don't have the administrative account user name and password. But hopefully Chad will help with that, as he appears to be "back".

  The workaround we've discovered is to go to the front page of the forum and click the "mark as read" button at the end of your session.  Just remember to do that every time you use the forum and you shouldn't have any problems.

Scott, many thanks for taking over the admin stuff and for your efforts in fixing up the site. It has been looking increasingly ragged recently!

Has Chad been brought back though? I don't see that much life, except for one post in News about repairing links. Is he doing things behind the scenes, or just being quiet and mysterious?

Scott, you are my new hero.

I was very sad watching the SC site seemingly fade off into the black abyss..
