Expected AHS Downtime Saturday July 5, 2008
 
AHS will experience some downtime on Saturday, July 5, 2008 for server maintenance and purging of material from the Posting Games Forum and Trash Can.

The forums will be available for traffic again momentarily.

Thank you for your patience.

truehappiness 4th July 2008 05:51 AM
People should really be reading this. DX

Thanks for the heads up!

Bad Wolf 4th July 2008 06:04 AM
I wondered how frequently the Trash Can gets purged and, well, now I know.

I'll be sure not to panic if the site doesn't start loading properly. Thanks :)

milky_way 4th July 2008 06:40 AM

thanks for the info~

nmskalmn 5th July 2008 11:14 PM
Please report any broken images, broken links, bugs, etc, so that they can be fixed.

austin. ♥ 5th July 2008 11:21 PM
Back just in time. :D

Beauty4123 5th July 2008 11:34 PM
one error is a broken image link, next to "artist and bands" on the artists page. (and every page that i go to, i think) it's a box with a red "x" saying "reload this page". i think an image/icon is supposed to be in it's place, but i just see a box.

hope i make sense. :dead2

truehappiness 5th July 2008 11:37 PM
The new tags seem like they'll help people find stuff a lot more easily than before. :o

naxxo.licious™ 5th July 2008 11:37 PM
WOW we can even customize our profiles now. NICE

EDIT: Thank u so much for the tags! <3

Beauty4123 5th July 2008 11:43 PM
about my previous post, those boxes also now show up in my profile page. like each icon thing is replaced with a box if you go to my profile. but it's not there on the artists or other pages anymore. :)

sorry to report everything? :dead2

stickyrice 5th July 2008 11:46 PM
oooh I like the add-ons you guys put on the forum. Really nice :yes Thanks!

truehappiness 5th July 2008 11:49 PM
It looks like the new edit system is going to prevent people from posting too quickly..

We can view old versions of posts [after the update! D:]

By the way, now that we have an Ayu Picture forum, does this mean that all future scans / photoshoots will go there instead of Ayu News?

naxxo.licious™ 6th July 2008 12:12 AM
^ Yeah, i was wondering the same thing. Perhaps we could use the ayu images section for pictures requests

VAL 6th July 2008 12:23 AM
:D so cool the new options!

Zemus 6th July 2008 12:32 AM
I really like the new tag system. This will keep stuff organized very well (in case it wasn't earlier). :D

The new stuff is great. Thanks.

style? ummm..the blue default layout? maybe it's just my IE, i dunno. cuz i'm on firefox on another computer and the profile page is fine.

truehappiness 6th July 2008 03:12 AM
That's strange.

I keep trying to click the links to users' profiles to see threads made by them, and each one just leads me to nmskalmn's profile. D:

milky_way 6th July 2008 04:16 AM
I'm liking the new stuff you guys added :yes

ayuzlove 6th July 2008 04:37 AM
Thanks for the new stuff added! though its sad that...

Spoiler:
my 2 threads in the posting games section got deleted away...but if its to improve the traffic in AHS i dun mind :)

Yeah. Same if u click in the last member who posted. They all lead to nmskalmn's profile lol. I hope this can be fixed

kirei_ayumi 6th July 2008 05:11 AM
I thought something was wrong when I couldn't log on today, but its great to be back up! :)

Hm. That's a good question. I think, personally, I like just going to the news section for everything new. Though I suppose moving them later for reference would be nice, but that'd be extremely tedious and confusing. :/ Hm.

And I think the profile thing is fixed now.

emi♡ 6th July 2008 08:06 AM
Is there a report of exactly what was changed?

Did I miss it somewhere...very possible lol

I know there's this tagging of artistes names in the music thread, then this new sub forum for ayu images and fanarts.

Anymore?

By the way, I just realise the rainbow post reply banner needs to be longer?
http://img28.picoodle.com/img/img28/...1m_83bfe97.jpg

And may I know what's the tag for? and how we should/should not use it?

emi♡ 6th July 2008 08:42 AM
^also the customization of the profiles.

of which, the information for all profiles is missing for my skin ~air~. Don't know if that was brought up yet.

AyuHamasaki01 6th July 2008 08:48 AM
I'm quite sad about the fact that the "Let's talk in French/Dutch/Spanish/etc." threads are gone.

Is it maybe possible to make new ones?

emi♡ 6th July 2008 09:01 AM
Most likely.

They were just cleaned. Not deleted or closed.

edit: Or not. :laugh

criminal 6th July 2008 10:19 AM
YAYAYAYA. This is awesome. Good job, staff! :O

You guys can still make new ones. You'd just post them in the chat-room and we'd move them. :yes

AyuHamasaki01 6th July 2008 07:00 PM
^Ah! I'm gonna make one right away!

aqua_crystal 6th July 2008 10:21 PM
Yaaaayy!!! I made it through without one day of AHS!! It was torture! :P

aqua_crystal 7th July 2008 10:19 AM
The members' profile viewer has also been changed right? Then why does that red cross keep appearing net to the stats? Must be something wrong with the image...

criminal 7th July 2008 11:42 AM
Bug: If the posts were made in another day than "today", then clicking on the poster's name in the "Last post" column will bring up a different profile.

I don't know. That's why I'm asking.

aqua_crystal 9th July 2008 06:24 PM
^^Hmm... you're right... the wrong profile keeps showing up....

milky_way 14th July 2008 03:28 AM
Well, I see people have already spammed up the tags (how do you even do that?). This is why we can't have nice things people :/

BTW, can admins/mods see which member tags threads?

truehappiness 14th July 2008 03:30 AM
Well, people seem to be tagging the spam threads.. for no reason [the biggest tag here is spam. @_@]~

I think this just means that people need to start tagging things like older threads to "kill" the popularity of the spam tag.

Yes we can, and we'll start handing out infractions to stop the abuse, if necessary.

Zachery! 14th July 2008 04:51 AM
The gradient in the "Rain" skin is also to short to fit my screen.

truehappiness 14th July 2008 11:02 AM
Oi. It looks like the tags system is being abused by a bunch of members.

Just look at the tags being used right now! D:

Someone that frequents another forum also seems to have mentioned me under another name in a tag as well. Why are people so immature?

AyuHamasaki01 14th July 2008 03:05 PM
^Yes, I noticed that as well.
Look at the Namie thread. It's not fun anymore. I think that adding tags for the right threads is okay like "namie amuro, koda kumi, wallpaper, pictures, new single" but not those immature things like "OMG namie has no emotion, can't dance, spamalicious".

Beauty4123 14th July 2008 03:16 PM
i only wrote one tag, so please don't shoot me. :laugh

but the tags in the JE threads (at least) were really out of fun. so please don't infraction anyone or anything? :P

austin. ♥ 14th July 2008 03:42 PM
Learn to have a bit of fun ffs. I apologize for nothing.

Edit Half the stuff you listed there isn't even that bad.

Zachery! 14th July 2008 04:39 PM
yeah, most of those tags weren't really bad at all.

but some were really stupid. and most of the really dumb ones had to do with JE ..

are JE threads the tag-spam threads?
So it's not only the Kumi threads we've gotta worry about? :(

Beauty4123 14th July 2008 04:47 PM
:rolleyes the JE threads may have lots of fun posts, but they will never out spam the kuu threads.

KaoriNeko 14th July 2008 05:08 PM
Those tags aren't that bad. There's like a handful of ones that could be considered bad.... O.o;
The JE ones aren't bad either, they're just fun inside jokes or something~

And also, the JE threads have been getting more spammy than they've been in the past, but there's no way they can get as spammy as the Kuu threads. I've been talking to mods and we've been working on that, so~

The JE threads definitely aren't that spammy.

Yeah, but "having fun with tags" isn't what tags are meant for. They are mean to be used so it is easier to index/find threads with a similar topic. Putting "riozz + shige = hott" or whatever isn't really gonig to do us any good.

So I implore you all, if you made any stupid tags, remove them or change them to something relevant. I mean, I made a few stupid tags, this is true. I changed a few of them and I plan on changing all of them to something relevant.

So yeah. Tags are NOT for fun, they are NOT for inside jokes, they are a resource to make navigating the forum easier.

Spoiler:
and i didn't say the JE threads were spammy. I said their tags were spammy. They have spammy tags.


And i don't view putting "spam" as a tag as a spammy tag, mainly because if that's what it is, that's what it is.

KaoriNeko 14th July 2008 05:48 PM
The tags have been removed, so it's really not a problem now. And yeah, the tags were spammy, I guess we forgot what the purpose was for them. But that's all fixed now, so it's not a problem.

MemorialAddress 14th July 2008 07:42 PM
This is all very silly :laugh

Hazuki 14th July 2008 07:50 PM
Uh.. I just wanted to say that for the past few minutes,
the forum has been slowing down a bit,
and I've been receiving blank pages instead of a thread.

austin. ♥ 14th July 2008 08:03 PM
The same with me. It's okay now though. I though the mods were punishing us. :laugh

truehappiness 14th July 2008 11:55 PM
I'd have to say that I only posted the "top tags" which means there were a lot more out there unmentioned. A lot of the tags imo were simply immature and would only be found "fun / funny" by mischievous 4th graders.

I don't think anyone forgot, they were just being idiots. I'm pretty sure they'll be back as soon as someone suddenly gets a spark of "inspiration".

Because it's related to the update that caused AHS' downtime

AHS Staff 13th September 2008 12:17 AM
heads up
 
There is a small chance that AHS will be down for maintenance this weekend. If that happens the Posting Games and Trash Can forums will be purged.

pommy48 13th September 2008 12:38 AM
oh downtime already~
so do the staff do it every month?

alternarist 13th September 2008 05:07 PM
the downtime is over?

Beauty4123 13th September 2008 05:12 PM
well, the posting games and trash can are empty, so i guess so? :shrug

Lee_410 13th September 2008 05:15 PM
Oh,so this is why the Trash Can is empty!

howtousesexy 13th September 2008 10:17 PM
Yeah I was wondering what happened to them. Really miss the "Why?" thread. :laugh I'll live though. :yes
