I swear guise, I'm going to start working on this site and project in general.

TODO list from the wiki



The first item is new, and pic is related. It's a year old and no longer entierly accurate. A new "cast shot" with some descriptions underneath could go a long way.

The characters we're looking for are probably /a/, /b/, /c/, /v/, /co/, /x/, and /tg/. Of those, /co/, /a/, and /c/ have consistent depictions (check the shimmie). /b/ will vary with artist (but we have a working definition) and /x/ will probably remain the same, as much as it does not fit her shy character. /v/ will probably not change much from what he looks like in this image, but we have not discussed it.

as far as website improvements go, I don't know if I'm satisfied with what I have so far. The text-only boards seem awkward for discussion, and this software is slightly lacking. What feedback can I get? There are three backends running right now: Drupal for the main site, kusabaX for the discussion part, and Shmmie for the image gallery.

Having three backends sucks, and the drupal bit only has the about page that is worth keeping. Should there be new boards added here? Is the shimmie working alright? I added shimmie specifically for the tags, which, at least to me, seem like a big help.

everything seems allright, cap'n.
i don't think we need more boards at the moment.
it would only slow the other boards.

I'm probably going to remove /lobby/ and turn it into an imageboard for /char/acter discussion.

Also the site has been running slow because it runs on a shared hosting service, which has come under increasing load and will be upgrading soon[1].
>> No. 18
>>17
so that's the reason it takes a full minute to load a page here.
while you're at it, you might as well remove /comic/. the traffick here is so low, the only board you'll need here is /gen/.
>> No. 19
You best believe the new site is up.

Now it's time to hack some links into this software.
>> No. 20

i love it!
keep up the good work, and someday, someday, we might actually get some traffick.
>> No. 21
Recent changes. You might have to force a reload (ctrl+f5) to see the changes, but probably you see them already.
-The top navbar now has a link to the Shimmie.
-The Shimmie links to the discussion boards.
-The IRC link in the navbar frame should launch your IRC client if you have one installed. I recommend hanging out in IRC to be more in-the-know.
-The news page on the Kusaba part of the site is no longer a news page, that's handled by the front page.
-There's a banner now (thanks Pride and Tony)

Things left to do:
-Consolidate style sheets to unify three parts of the site (it's still kind of clunky, but I'm not a coder, so I'm just doing my best)
-Get more/better banners (you, too, can help!)
-Upload old artwork
-Upload old stories (probably?)
-Finish the removal of /lobby/. It's still there, but nothing links to it. /gen/ is the new /lobby/ because it's all that and more.
-Figure out why the site is running SO SLOW. I don't think we're at the point where I need dedicated hosting, but it's something I should plan for, as well as considering a move to another host if this slowness keeps up because, seriously D:
