Maaya's.net

I've been linking it from my various profile pages (blogs, youtube) and plugging it to my friends and watchers on deviantART. We'll all do our part and hopefully that'll help.

I think deltafour has a point. Because Google's spiders crawl existing HTML files, the recent overhaul created a bunch of new pages and probably caused Google to think this is a new site. :/

Someone should design a maayas.net sticker so we can each take a stack of a hundred or so and stick them to random things. Viral marketing, and all that. It could be huge.

The biggest problem is that the URL structure changed entirely. However instead of similarity with the old I considered it better to have user readable & easy to remember URLs. The forum is also running a Google SEO plugin that has been built according Google's SEO guide rules (the nice URLs is a part of that).

There is a redirection for old topic URLs but it is done via PHP and it could be improved. At this point I think I'm not going to bother; the site's ranking will eventually become better if the content is good Which means wiki would need more work, a better (simplified?) front page possibly with a listing of latest posts in the forum and so on... but one thing at a time! Slow is alright for a site this small

Ooh, I'd love to have a stack of maayas.net stickers

I like the thread rating system but we're all so nice nearly everything is five stars!

But people are making such great posts, I mean look at the latest Maaya news xDD

You mean you now want a "my personal review" type of forum where you can write your own review thread and then people would rate them?

And we want the forum to make coffee for us too!

And actual cookies, not just them internet cookies.

The closest I can make the forum do coffee is a mental shock.

You don't want me to go there.

It seems there was a problem in the migration in some thread with special character encoding.
At least, my newbie marathon post was cut at the é of Jérôme >__< (it was post #84)
Any save from old system ot recover this ? If you can send me the text, i'll put it back on the post.

The problem is there as we had a non-UTF8 character encoding in the earliest days. I do have a backup for all the posts, so I could technically manually fix all of it perfectly on a post-by-post basis (there are other than latin-1 being used, you can find shift-jis etc.)... but I don't have the time to see the trouble. Right now I'm having a very tired day, soon off to bed.

I was actually proposing to do it myself. Like, if you can give me the dump of the backup base, I can search them and repost them when people will ask for it...

what is a warning level for lol? like if im a bad guy some1 will set a bounty on me and john marston will kick my ass? hehe cool.
i bet the report button was just created for me hihihih.
or if you post something there is always the "RE: title of the topic" at the top like were stupid and forgot what we reply for haha.
but generally nice - trivial but nice.

Jérôme: I store the backup as a SQL text file. I need to filter stuff such as private messages before I could give it.
