Okay everyone, I have some news. Due to recent events, sage_of_fire will not be able to keep up with the site as needed because he has very limited internet access. Due to this, he has transfered power of the site to me. Yes, it's finaly happened, I am a god. I shall be a benevolent diety, but a strict one. Thou shall worship no mayor before me..blah blah blah.... Joking aside, since I can now do everything I couldn't before that needed top be done in SoF's absence, the site should pick up a bit in terms of maintainence. I'll be making a couple of staffing changes, updating everything which needs to be, mayby re working the boards a bit. But most importantly, in the next few days, I will be initiating a thread blitz. I'm going to be comming up with as many thread ideas as i can in the period of one or two days. I hope to catch some of your interests again with at least one or two of the threads, so we can get some more posts happening. To accompany this, I would ask that you try to make time to look over the threads for anything that interests you and post in it. If there's a thread you'd like to see, post it. Also, try to bring more members to the site. Everyone will help bring this place back to life. Let's see who can tople the stone mask from it's MotM tower! Just so everyone knows, I will be making Zeldace (AKA Vector/Veccy) basicaly what I am now, but I'll also be looking for somone to replace William, since niether SoF nor I have heard form him in quite some time (Will, if you come back, let me know ASAP!). So if you have an interest in being a mod, don't bother asking me, just show your stuff in the forums and I'll pick somone out. I look forward to things hopefuly picking back up, and forcing you all to anex Switzerland!

Yes, I figured out how to give rupees, which means that the MotM will be recieving a prize. I also tried to make my reputation "awesome" but it only takes numbers.

D: I am here, Mattocks, and I come here like every two days.
There's just nobody that posts in my moderating section. =P
Plus, it's cumbersome to have to type in passwords for each clan I moderate, and then find out there's no new posts.
I strongly suggest we switch forum hosts, and if you are open to the idea, I can give you a link to one.
As a more personal note:
- Could I request to switch to a different section to moderate? Since the clans aren't active, at the moment, there really is no need for a moderator, outside the mayor. (AKA almighty deity)
- I am an advanced web designer / spriter, and I could give this site a hand on the looks department. Additionally, I could create a mainsite, so people have a real reason to show up here, on a daily basis.
- We need to reduce the amount of sections we have. I mean, common, there's like a mountain of them all over the place! =P
- Mattocks, do you have msn, aim, or yahoo messenger? I'd like to get in contact with you.
Please and thank you.
- William

As far as switching hosts and everything, I honestly have no clue how to do any of that, I'm still figuring out what I can do as Mayor. I can switch you to a different section no problem, just let me know where you want to mod, I'll split the sections between you and Zeldace. The boards I am in the process of adressing, I was thinking the same thing, so I'm prolly going to combine some and make sub boards. SoF actualy wanted to make a main site, but again, I have no idea how that would be done, or how to allow you to do it. PM him and tell him your idea, he will still be checking in periodicaly, so he should get back to you. And yes, I have messanger, check my prfile for e-mail.
Thanks for the suggestions William, anyone else who has any please let me know because that's how this site's going to become much better!

Lol. I was waiting for your response, and I already have some concept art for a possible mainsite for this place.
Btw, switching hosts isn't very cool. Because, unless it's a paid forum, you lose all your prior information. (accounts, rupees, posts, etc)
Like a whole new forum.

NOTICE: I'm realy tired ATM, and after browsing back through this post I noticed many mistakes. I liew of trying to correct them all, I'm just asking everyone ignore them. Merci In that case, no switching hosts is not an option at all until we have a way to back up what we have here and transfer it. Mor importantly though, I have been doing some maintainence around the site. You may have noticed on the main page that I tidied it up a bit. I compressed all the other zelda games into sub boards based on general discussion, theorizing, and help. I got rid of a couple of sections, puting them instead as boards int eh site/comunity section. Also, I've added a Feedback sub board to the Site Stuff board. I'd like everyone to go there and let me know what your thoughts are. What I should do with the site, what you like that I've done, how you think I'm doing in general, all thatn kind of stuuf. It would be a realy big help to get feedback from as many members as I can. I still have some more to get done (such as sub boards for the rest of the games under Q&A) but it's late and I'm calling it a night. Finaly, remember, keep trying to bring people to the site. The more people we get posting, the more interesting threads will get!

I am still skeptical.
This board doesn't really give the webmaster any advanced control, and I'm afraid this would be the only time that we could make a host switch before we get tons of members.

Well like I said I would liek to become an independant site, but there are multiple problems with even switching to another forums host. Mainly being I can't do that, and SoF I don't think has the time to take care of it. So in the mean time, I will let it be known that if possible, I'll try to switch hosts, but for now I want to concentrate on what we have to work with.
