I'm guessing this is the right place?
Anyways, YWS will be coming back, and hopefully before the end of the month. I've set a tentative data of July 31, which I've set and announced to give me that extra push to get it done. I should note too that it's very unlikely that the day YWS comes back will be July 31; instead, it'll be around that date. Maybe a week before, maybe a week after. Once it is back, you will receive an e-mail announcing everything about the new site from the new look to new features.
This is some of what to expect:
- YWS will have a new look, which I really like. The old look was getting, well, old. It also took forever to load.
- All your userdata is there, meaning your username, password, e-mail, post count, points count, etc. all made the transition just fine. Some extras, like the biographies, may end up being deleted because of differences in coding between the old and the new. Also, only avatars that were uploaded have survived. If you were using one of the gallery avatars, it ain't there anymore.
- I've switched hosting providers and now have no limits on the database size and the hosting cost is 20% of what it was. Plus, I got a big raise back in June, so money ain't too much of an issue now (I may even make a very small profit). So this mean every single post is still there.
- Games and the photo album are gone. Games are not coming back, and the photo album probably won't come back.
- Some very nice new features are being added
- VIPs are gone. In its place there will be three new ranks, none of which are a privilege and each of which you must apply for.
- Faster site loading. This was a must for me. Waiting ten seconds for a page to load is too long on a broadband connection.
So anyways, feel free to contribute your thoughts as always. Once YWS is fully back online, I'll send out a mass e-mail and make a post here.
Hugs and kisses,
Nate
Also, this seems like the appropiate place to thank Duskglimmer, so, Thank You Duskglimmer for keeping the YWS Community Together
