remember a bio is required

ok people you know the rules and im getting tired of having to remind you all of them

When registering you must fill out the bio section of the user account creation form with just a bit of info about yourself and by a bit I dont mean a single word all offending accounts that the bio was blank have been deleted from the server also all spammer/suspected hacker accounts have also been deleted next step if you lot dont start following the site rules will be an I.P ban so basically follow the rules or I can and will take action against your accounts

Server bill is now due / Staff Required

As I have mentionedon the forums, the server bill is now due for the site and as you all know the site partly relies on donations to help fund the main server that runs fanfictionworld.org but failing that the site hasant recieved any donations since we started operating I have been funding the server myself, without any ads on the site or forums (As I really hate the ads) however during the next few months I may have to consider putting some ads both on the main site and on the forums in order to help keep us online, hope it wont come to that but just mentioning it now as a heads up in case I have no option,

Also the site needs some reliable staff members so if your reliable and would like to help the site out by donating your time ( a few hours each week) and effort into helping run the main site and the forums there are now positions open so do contact me either via email or the forums PM system (staff members do get given some additional features of the site like an email account and stuff like that)

system issue - system does not recognise - in usernames

I have discovered that the account system on the site does not like the - character in usernames and you will not be able to log into the site if your username contains a -

the simple solution is to use a space or an underscore (_) instead of the -

I will be looking into this issue further and will be looking through the members system to see if anyone else is affected by this and will take the appriopiate action

so for now please do not use a - in your username here at the main site , as far as I know the forums are not affected by this issue

for anyone else having this issue(before I go through the members system) feel free to contact me with your username as I can re-enable access for you

Thanks to relaxedcandy who brought this issue to my attention

sheduled maintance

just to make you all aware that starting tommorrow I will be doing some modding to the site for around 30 minutes to an hour there should not be any downtime during this maintance

 

during the maintance I will be intregrating the 3 chapter submission rule that we have in effect here at the site (i.e that your only allowed to submit 3 chapters of a story at a time if your not a validated author) into the sites system so that the site will only let you submit what your allowed to submit at any one time

webhosting/ services sections to be redesigned

sometime starting this weekend I'll be changing the design of the webhosting / services sections and then they will be readded to both the sites random link block and the form

stuff in the webhosting section is if you want to apply for temoparary free hosting of a small site whislt the services section allows you to order things like script installations from me

also I'll be redesigning the whole of the site shop which I may intergrate the webhosting/services sections into as the current shop is no longer suitable for fanfictionworld.org once open you will be able to order both script installations and screensaver licenses and custom musical screensavers and all the fees gained from members buying my services will be helping the site stay online as all the fees will be going back into the site to keep the main server online :) more on this soon - comments are very welcome at the forums

Site Maintance completed for August

yes I know its the 1st of September but I decided to hold off till today to give all of you who I had asked to login/update your accounts a chance to do so

anyhow maintance is now completed for August and all unused accounts have now been removed if your account got removed you are free to rejoin anytime provided that you will use the account otherwise it will just get removed again now before anyone complains I gave numerous extensions to the deadline before the server was ordered to remove inactive accounts so if your account got removed it was your fault not mine

so our member count took quite a hit in the latest maintance but I would rather have a site with 35 active members than one with 80 inactive accounts

to all the remaining active members this will be repeated next month so I suggest if you havant contributed to the site much that you go and register over at the forums and throw a few posts in on the forums and review storys here on the main site

site maintenance -Sat 22nd August

as I said I'll be going through the members list and locking/deleting inactive accounts from the main server this will be done sometime on Saturday now and while this is occuring the site will be in read only mode for up to 2 hours

 

thanks for your understanding although this will not affect the forums in any way so I suggest you go and register over at the forums and start posting!

Sitewide Notice - All unused accounts will be removed
I've said about unused accounts that drain my server resources will be removed therefore this week I will be going through the sites member list and logs to determine who is and who is not using their account on the site and the appriopiate action will be taken this will happen whether you have any submissions attached to your account or not I've been too easy on this rule lately and people are taking advantage of that so it stops now

for example if you have submitted one story but not logged in for 1/2 years that is still grounds for the account and its contents to be removed (not logging in for 1/2 years is excessive in my view whether you have anything attached to the account or not)

you all will recieve an email if this concerns you and then you will have 3 days to login to your account to stop it being locked / removed

also if your emails bounce back to me when I send them from the main fanfictionworld.org server then your account will be locked and then after 3 days removed as I am tired of asking you all to keep your email addresses current there are no exceptions to the account non-use rule and the keeping you email address current rule for reasons I've already explained about in the sites FAQ
