Title: Excuse the mess while I clean up the rubble.
Post by: Atrius on 02, April, 2011, 03:08:03 PM
Well...  As you can see, due to some recent, er... Events, the forum is kind of in shambles at the moment.  Anyway, I'll get straight to the point since I'm sure you're all wondering what exactly is going on.

- Charon has been perma-banned for locking me out of, then destroying the forums
- All of our theme data is gone
- There are probably a ton of minor things broken that I don't even know about yet

Please bear with me while I working on cleaning up the destruction.


Edit: There's been an important update to the situation (http://forum.goldensunhacking.net/index.php?topic=1259.0).

Sounds good Atrius, take however much time you need to fix the website. If anyone here can do it, you can. Now that the website is under your control again, we can rest without worry.

Dark: Ditto!

Well done Atrius...

worse, she tried to destroy it completely by locking Atrius the creator and owner of the site out of his own site, She was alright I guess up to now, like everyone liked her and she did great work within the site but sorta flipped big time.

Probably me demoting her because she was actually banning people as part of an April Fools joke.

Banning people is when they dont follow the rules and thus cannont use the site until unbanned, she yesterday was making it a rule to have a certain type of picture as your profile picture or face a one day ban, Atrius found out and hit her with demotion for her to be not an admin anymore..

an admin is someone who has power to make rules, change the site... etc

She then took a huff.

I'm not sure who was all banned.  She PM'd me ahead of time and asked if it was alright to make it look like she was serious and I said go for it.

I didn't even get the PMs until after the fact. :sad: What is important though is that the avatars seem to be back to normal. She also promised 5 coins to everyone involved though, but fake-banning would have been in better taste (like in the old Ban the User Above game).

Anyway, the past is the past. It would be best to learn from what happened, so the community can grow in the future.

True.  Although I had access to multiple accounts at the time so banning one didn't really matter.  I didn't think she'd ban anyone else (I actually don't know if she did.  I wasn't paying much attention honestly.)

Er, is that something you should be stating Kain...?

Anyway, it was a good joke and all, but Charon did go a bit far... Although some others took it too seriously as well.

That I had multiple accounts?  I already revealed it and I had gotten permission before I even made them.

Yeah okay that was really weird I thought she was just fooling around until she screwed up the whole forum.

Apparently she went insane.

I'm pretty good with skins.  If you can send me the code for the skins, I'm sure I can figure out where to change the settings to restore skins to at least be usable again.  I think Kain's sent me the data for the RPG skin, so I can use that to derive the rest of them to at least some form of what they used to be.

Images are something else, though, if the clans have anything they specifically want for their banner, let me know.  I can't make the images, though I can use any link you send me to figure it out.

Well, all these offers for help are nice, but they really aren't necessary, heh.

Well if you want to help with the stylesheets or the graphics, you're totally allowed to! I'll post the Jupiter Theme's information for you to experiment.

Oh, cool.  Thanks, I'll work on it a bit when I get home tomorrow.  Do you think you could upload the RPG theme as well?  I'd love to use that one as reference, since I really love how it looks.

Well... I don't have that one anymore  :Sweat: But Atrius could easily grab that one for you.
