Project Jenova Forums: Project Jenova

Project Jenova is clearly not what it used to be. It's glory days are long past and even 3 years ago this place was still considered slow. The board's rotting and if things continue like this it looks like it'll be a long and slow death unless Night-Red suddenly pulls the plug at some point. At this point, it's hard to tell when that will happen. More importantly, we lack full control to the board. We all still come here, so that shows that this place must have some value and I think that it should be preserved. So, I think we should move over to another forum. Not some side-forum bullshit, but a full replacement so we can go ahead and abandon this place and maybe leave a note for anybody old that wanders back here.

I like this place, but it's not our place, and it doesn't have any direction. There are a lot of dead subforums that need to be gotten rid of and new ones that need to be made. I don't know about the extent of Fred's powers, but there's not really much I can do other than ban people and delete posts/topics. I'm not a real power or authority here, just a janitor trying to keep things open and pretty free. It's pretty frustrating that there's a lot we could do to make this place better but are locked out for the most part, and I think that if we have some greater control over the board it'll be more enjoyable to use and manage. I'm anticipating being hired within the next week, so assuming I'll have income soon I'm willing to host the thing myself and pay all the costs. If anyone wants to split responsibility I'll share the costs or contribute to whoever does host it.

I don't really care who's in charge as long as they're already an active user and are willing to actually run the place.

What are your thoughts? Any takers or nominations?

Not that I expect anyone to actually do/help do this but if you all want to show me some love I would love to get my hands on this http://www.google.com/phone/.

Thank for another year of entertainment and I hope you all have a good coming year.

I have spent the last week finding and correcting all the errors in the database that have affected the site recently.
This has caused several people to not be able to login and post or change settings.
I hope that this has cleared everything up for now.

I have added the Gallery back to the site so have fun and post away people.
The role play forums have been reduced to one RPG forum.
I have fixed the status update bar from cazy big to 10 updates.
I have made the calander work properly, you can now post events in the calander if you would like.

And some small things have been fixed also.

I have corrected the isue with registration and alotof the small bugs that have been around here.
Hope this makes you all a bit happier.

I am working on getting the image gallery back and even a blog for you all.
The new skin will also come soon I hope.

A new option has been added to the site that will assist in keeping all content clean and clear.

On all posts, profiles and even Private Messaages is a report button, if you have an issue with the content click the button and report it.
This will give the mods a heads up and we will look in to the content and deal with it as we see fit. Do not be shy of this feature it logs all details and the user can change the post after it is reported and we will still see the offending content.

Hope you like this and use it.

@nightred
I have updated the site to be new and exciting, I plan a few small changes to the foums to bring a bit more of what you like and a bit less clutter. (useless forums)
I believe this update deleted a bot of the avatars and signatures, but you can add them back your self with ease. One of the biggest changes for you the user is facebook connect now works here, you can link your account to facebook or register using facebook.

I had thought I lost all the posts before but I was able to recover them so I hope this makes people happy, no more site wipe.

I will be spending the next few days cleaning up the site and getting everything working properly, and yes the colours will be changed back to a darker tone.

TA custom skin has been created for the Wii that should enable faster loading and viewing.

Well I have been working on a new site, and in my own horrid way making crappy pictures etc.

The new site if anyone cares etc is http://www.failtraveler.com

It's that simple. A lot's changed since I became a mod on this forum. I have very little in common with the vast majority of you, and therefore I don't think I'm necessarily the best for the job any more. I know, I know: big shock. This doesn't necessarily mean that I'm stepping down completely, and NR has final say on who will be chosen, so, in his words there will not be "some one in power that will cater to the whims of the idiot masses on the forum".

With that in mind, who do you think would make a good global moderator or even admin? The question's open, but NR makes a good point, so if you're going to put someone forward, include your reasoning.

I have added a new web based game t the ebsite i think it is a lot of fun so you can all play it also the link to it is listed here: http://lotgd.projectjen.net



Have fun bug me if there is a problem.
