Actually that's just the message that would come up when the new month rolled over and no quotes had yet been approved for PubAd. At least, I'm pretty sure that's what it is.

Lady Renae is correct. The site rolled over to april with no new qoutes added so it shows the "quotes coming soon" message on all three pages. That is all it is....

Thanks, Ausador.
Furthermore, even if we did manage to get the old domain to ourselves, I can't personally see any reason to migrate back to the old site. We have been working hard on creating a new look and feel for FSTDT here, and Distind has been working very hard on the new mainpage. I don't know exactly what all goes into the coding process for the website, but it seems to me that with all the changes he has made, switching back to the old site wouldn't be worth the effort. Additionally, there has been a lot of effort made to get people to make the change in their bookmarks and whatnot so they will come to the new site instead of the old one, and switching back to the old site now would rather negate all of that. I just don't see where it would be particularly worth it.
(pardon if that isn't entirely coherent... my brain is full of fuzz today)

Thanks so much, Distind! |

That said, I am trying to get the old domain, and point it here. There are a lot of broken links out there now because of this, and it annoys the living shit out of me. |

I, for one, prefer the new site. Even though it's not finished yet, there's already a lot less server timeouts and other errors that prevented us from going to the old site almost as often as they didn't pop up. The only thing I don't like about the new site is the forums (which are better other than the lack of *REAL* NSFW material), and I think I remember something about a plan to get those back up as well. Distind, do you have any concrete plans to work on the forum yet or are you finishing the main page first?

Distind, do you have any concrete plans to work on the forum yet or are you finishing the main page first? Right now, finishing up the main page. That been slowed to a crawl for the most part the last couple weeks as I've been jumping through all kinds of hoops for work. That said, with a few exceptions most of the errors on the site now are caused by one of two things, viewing through a proxy(technical limitation which annoys the shit out of me and only happens once in a while) and the host shutting the SQL server down. That and the URL hackers I curse out on occasion in IRC, but those are self inflicted. |
