Some things to annouce

--- Much Faster and More Reliable Server! ---
Are you sick and tired of all those vB errors that we used to get? Well the forums are now moved to a much faster server (we are still using vB). This server is not only faster but more reliable so, enjoy!

--- Regarding our website ---
With the process of growth in mind I realized that I must add some more anime to yugioh-insanity.com once the site opens. But then I also realized the name 'yugioh-insanity' is not very suitable for the type of site we are going to have (include multiple anime information and coverage). I was originally going to help our great PHP programmer, Hellspire, with his new project (website) called 'OtakuWorks'. So we have decided to put a stop to yugioh-insanity.com (the main site itself. These forums will remain active (duelistforums.com) and seperate from the new forums that we will have. Basically, you are not losing anything that you are having. To people that are working on content: We can use all of the new content on our new anime and gaming site: 'OtakuWorks'. I will be accepting staff for OtakuWorks. So here is what I want to do:

- End Yugioh Insanity
- Make a new website with more features and a better name: 'OtakuWorks'
- Keep DuelistForums up and running
- Make a new forum that has a ton of anime and gaming!

As a result, the domain 'yugioh-insanity.com' would be sold to one of our sponsors. The money earned will all be invested into the site and NOT used for my own sake of profit. This site was never for profit. I went over this with a few people that were on AIM at the time.

What do y'all think?

Sounds pritty good to me and I would love to help with any kinds of stuff for the new site.

[gsv]

Just one thing to note:

If you would like to apply for staff for the new website you must wait until we have the staff system ready (I am planning on getting some PHP-based system that allows us to easily approve staff and an online form that allows people to join).

So will (or do) I. I was actually thinking something like this for the past few days, so it seems like a great idea to me.

[gsv]

Glad to hear there is good feedback so far. I just sent out a mailer to all members so that we can try and encourage more participation in the forums themselves.

No wait, I LOVE the idea.

[gsv]

We will discuss staff later on.

-GsVnEt

[_DC_]

Ok, I was just wondering.........

[gsv]

Ok, I was just wondering.........
No problem :). Most likely though, we will be accepting GFX staff.

-GsVnEt

[MistyStarlight]

Sounds good to me. I'd like to help too, but I'm not sure what I could do. I could write reviews if that is the kind of thing you will have on the site.

[Atem]

You need to calm down with this GFX stuff..-_-

[_DC_]

What GFX stuff? its only a question

[Atem]

Bleh..just forget about it..i'm not sappose to tell.

[_DC_]

[gsv]

-GsVnEt

[Maniac]

[Darksage]

Hahaha I can picture that


And I agree with Atem_Marik, GFX isn't everything.........

[Y-S-Lord]

Sound good hope it will all be fixed :D

[|:.NecroAngel.:|]

Ok....From my point of view: Yu-gi-oh insanity should not be created again.I like the idea of OtakuWorld but i'd like to add Do NOT create another forum for general anime but transform this forum into a more general anime forum

It's a shame to split members into two parts...

[Dark-Magician]

well i dont have a problem...

There are already 2 forums that we have and this is the more active of the two. We have plans for a possible merger of both forums if the members agree. We will see how things go.

[Kimeru]

I wanna help out too. GFX staff sounds good.
OtakuWorks... Hmm... it's nice but it'll take a while to get used to it.

You will be amazed once you see the site in action, it will have everything a site needs besides media ;) We will take over the Anime Community.

-GsVnEt

[Kimeru]

That sounds so awesome.
So we'll have to wait a little more now, I think.

[CK]

you cant stop amazing me with your hosting

[gsv]

you cant stop amazing me with your hosting
Heh thanks :)

This server where DF is hosted is not my hosting server but I may be managing it soon :)

-GsVnEt

[_DC_]

That's not something valid to post about ;)

-GsVnEt

Sry bout that

And I agree with Atem_Marik, GFX isn't everything.........

nobody said it was -_-

[Kimeru]

Besides it was not something valid to post about she always spell it like that.
And GFX is being out of control with you lately. So you can stop discussing it...

[gsv]

Please read the thread in Site News (http://www.duelistforums.com/showthread.php?t=4951)

[Renneme]

YGOI has 2 foums? where's the other one?

[LegendGenesis]

No, it doesn't. YGO-I doesn't really exist anymore, just these forums. GsV and HellSpire are making a new site, which will have a forum.

[|:.NecroAngel.:|]

It's ok i guess...aslong as i'm kept happy :p

[gsv]

www.riftwarpforums.com actually is the total anime forum BUT, it will be changed a lot.

-GsVnEt

[|:.NecroAngel.:|]

how much ?

[Atem]

Riftwarp Forums is a general forum that has no specific topic. DF is a forum that has an anime topic heavily centered on Yu-gi-oh!. Please refrain from calling RF an anime forum in the future.

Furthermore, a merger is possible but is NOT scheduled as of yet. It however, IS possible for the two to merge with general ease. We shall see. As for my contributions to this project, many of you will not know what it is because all of my work is backend. It's okay though, GSV can be the poster boy, I don't need acknowledgment ;)

Are you guys gonna do that thing you toold me once on AIM?

[Darksage]

What was Atem_Marik told on AIM???

[gsv]

What was Atem_Marik told on AIM???
Regarding the merger.

-GsVnEt

[Darksage]

Ohhhh...
OK
I think that we should just transform this forum into a forum for general anime though.

[_DC_]

How bout general not just general anime

[LegendGenesis]

Nah, I like general Anime.

[|:.NecroAngel.:|]

Well we are in anime...atleast most of us :p

[*seto-dragon*]

It's O.K, but don't add too many different Animes, and this site is doing great with Yu-Gi-Oh and some naruto stuff, I have seen many a website go down the pan because they tried to deal with too many animes and basically can't multitask enough. I'm just sayin' don't try to fix what's not already broken. Stick to like 3 to 5 animes to start with. And if that goes well then expand some more.

[|:.NecroAngel.:|]

Try Yu-gi-oh, Naruto, Hentai :p

Jokin :p

[Darksage]

Try Yu-gi-oh, Naruto, Hentai :p

Jokin :p


!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You'd better be ;)

[Dark-Magician]

i'd go with yugioh/bleach/naruto/dbz/fma

[MistyStarlight]

DBZ? Come thats so over done! Do Kenshin or something like that

[Akizero]

I say have anime that the staff are planning to write a sh*tload on.

[Darksage]

Great answer!
We have these ones planned so far
Yu-Gi-Oh!
Naruto
Bleach
Dragon Ball Z/GT/etc
InuYasha
FullMetal Alchemist
=======================

But we would love to hear what animes you would like to see.

[LegendGenesis]

I'll probably be able to do a bunch on Naruto

[Atem]

I might try doing some Inuyasha, Yugioh, Naruto, and Bleach stuff.

[gsv]

DBZ? Come thats so over done! Do Kenshin or something like that
We will do just about EVERYTHING you can think of :)

-GsVnEt

[Atem]

Indeed, but within respectable limits though. While I don't believe it would be a problem for overload on the system I am making due to the general ease of submission, review, and activation of articles (which will be explained later), I do believe that we will only start off with around 5 animes with as much GOOD coverage as possible.

It is planned that the site will have some 30 main staff members who will be in charge of not only submitting their own content but reviewing submissions sent in (via the engine), revising, and finally either approving or rejecting placing them in the proper sections and the like. So this clearly cuts out the problem of the administration requirement.

The reason that we will only start with a small amount is because the submission and staff administration engines will NOT be completed by release. They will be implemented during the first few weeks or so, and until then EVERYTHING has to be done manually by the administration. Therefore, we are limited in that respect, and not by a matter of overload, but due to planned ease during transition from cms versions as they are developed by myself.

Later.

That sounds good to me.

[Kimeru]

Sounds good to me too.
But still. I can take charge of making some video game stuff. Like reviews for PSX, GBA, and N64. Those are the only ones I have the emulator and games ^_^;;

(And obviously some yugioh and naruto stuff too in my sparetime)
