To that end, I'm shutting down the forum. I know in the past (on April 1st) that I've made that as a joke, but this time it's not.

Starting on February 15th registrations will be disabled. No new accounts will be able to be created after that. I'm going to keep the site online until March (when the next server payment would be due) but after that the site will be gone. I'm not sure what, if anything, I'll do with the domain name. I might keep it and use it for other things. I mean it doesn't cost me that much to keep it. Or I might sell it (I might be able to get a few dollars for it.)

I have no idea where I'll go from here. I'm probably not going to start another forum or become staff on another. If anything, maybe it's time to walk away from the whole forum world for a bit. I mean I've been doing this for over a decade now. I think it's time to take a break and do something else.

I'm not going to get rid of the discord server as it's still used some and it doesn't cost me anything. So we can always still chat there. But as for the forum? It's time is up. So thank you everyone for the last decade. Thanks for sticking around, posting and sharing good times.

Normally this is where I'd talk about things that I'm working on behind the scenes. But most of them have already been talked about. The transition away from roleplay to gaming has already happened. Same for the upgrade to the backend software. The theme I have good to go, just unfortunately didn't get to actually install. (Work again has interfered.)

However unlike other years I think it's time to do some reflection. Truth is that life has gotten busy for most members. We're not around as active as we once were. Sorry to say but it's months since most of the formerly active members have even signed on. Truth is that I don't want this forum to be all about me, but it seems like I'm the only one that actually posts now. Even on the discord server, it seems like it's mostly just me. And I'll admit that's kind of a reason why I haven't been in that big of a rush to make changes. (If it feels like I'm just doing it for my own sake.)

That's why, as of now, I'm planning on closing the forum on February 15th 2020 if nothing really changes. (Endless Fight's 10th birthday.) I don't want to keep pumping money into the site if no one is actually using it. I'm not ready to give up just yet. However it can't be just me.]]>

I was crazy busy in the summer, as people might have noticed. My family definitely noticed... So I really didn't get a ton of time to do anything.

This week though I had some time so I've put in place a few changes that I was thinking about earlier this year and moreso the last few days. One of the major core changes is the depreciation of the roleplay section. It's no longer visible unless you log in.
I'm not getting rid of them by any stretch. However only members can see or post in them.
Truth is though I haven't called myself a roleplayer in a very long time. I haven't had time for starters. And I think that it's a bit unfair to keep billing the site as a roleplay site when we really aren't anymore. So that's another thing that is going to be changing very soon.

I've also gone ahead and moved the gaming stuff to it's own section. The plan is to develop that going forward into 2019. The references to roleplay will be removed and instead replaced with gaming.

I know I've mentioned a new theme a few times but that is something that is finally happening. My plan is to have it done by Jan 4th 2019.

There will be a bit of downtime leading up to the new theme (because I also have some back end changes to make too). But it shouldn't take more than an hour to have all that stuff done. So the downtime will likely not even be noticed.]]>

Hard to believe right?

Last year I mentioned that SSL was coming and it was indeed implemented. It's worked remarkably well with no real downtime or issues that I've seen. (If anyone has noticed any, please let me know so I can look into what's going on.)

The switch to Discord also happened and I'd like to think it's been well received.



Going forward the next major task will be to update the forum software. I've been chipping away at this for some time. (It's been tough since the next version changed the way they handled themes. This essentially means rebuilding the theme from scratch. Which is also why I haven't released a new theme like I planned on. Not much point in releasing one only to have to then rebuild it after the update.)

Also all of the mods I use need to be updated/replaced (which is another part of why this takes so long... in some cases I have to remake them completely). I'll probably have to hire someone though to fix one mod since I don't have the requisite skill/knowledge to handle solving it. (Involves extensive upgrading/reworking of a plugin.) But that's going to have to wait until likely April before I'll have enough money to do that.

As usual, thanks to everyone who has stuck around and if there's anything you want to see going forward please let me know.]]>

Members can log in right from their browser and post to discord without having to actually open discord up.
Though guests are unable to post. (I'm not going to enable guest posting through Titan, even though it is an option, simply because of the potential for spam abuse.) So if someone wants to post... have to log in.

I've only just enabled the new bot so I haven't spent a lot of time tweaking it's settings yet. (I may have to make the sidebar a bit wider for this bot...)

But for now it looks functional and seems like it works just fine.]]>

Thanks again to everyone who has stuck around. I know things have gotten busier than ever for all of you.

As per usual, each birthday for the site brings changes... This time there's debate on whether or not to keep Chatango or whether we should go with Discord.

But there's more going on behind the scenes too that I'm working on. Front and centre is bringing SSL to the site. At present there is still more testing to do. (I have to wait until March for it because the next phase of testing has to do with auto-renew and it doesn't expire until then.) But it is coming along nicely otherwise.

For those that don't know what SSL is or why it matters...
Spoiler:
SSL is a privacy protection method. It is what gives sites the "s" in the url bar so instead of "http:" it's "https:".
More specifically it means that any data sent to and from the site is encrypted so that only the person accessing the site can actually tell what it is.

As usual if there are any other features you want to see or suggestions you have for the site please let me know.]]>

For the major one I've been working on a brand new theme... Entitled Civil War. I think it's a marvellous theme. So you should check it out. (If you spot any issues with it please let me know.)

Though as part of the update to the theme I've changed up the chatbox. I updated the code from the older Flash-based code to the newer JS/HTML5 version (which works on mobile devices).

Beyond that I've done a lot of shuffling of forums. (So if permissions aren't right just let me know and I'll fix them.)

1- "Forum Roleplays" is no longer a category of it's own. Instead it's inside the Roleplay category. It still contains all it's regular forums, just they're sub-forums now.

2- "Roleplay talk" category has been eliminated. (It only had 2 forums in it... "Roleplay talk" and "Roleplay Help") Roleplay Talk has been renamed "Roleplay Related" and has been moved to general discussion. Roleplay Help is now a sub-forum of Roleplay Related.

3- "Feedback, suggestions and Questions" has been moved to be a sub-forum of "Site news".

As always feedback, suggestions, comments and whatnot are welcome.]]>

Quote:Hi,

I am sure by now you have noticed the decay of Simplix.net services. The course of the company unfortunately derailed severely from the planned path. It's with great sadness I write this email to announce the termination of Simplix.net services.

Simplix.net, formerly SimplixHost.com, has been serving clients web hosting, domain registration, and web development services for 4 years. Unfortunately, after the years the company had lost it's value proposition of "simple services" and rather became just another host.

All Simplix.net servers will stay online through the end of 2015. This is an open invitation for all clients to transfer and move to another web hosting company. Simplix.net is close friends with HostWithLove and WiredTree.

If you have a domain name registered with Simplix.net, please be aware that all domains will be unlocked and released for you to transfer your domain(s) to another registrar. We have hundred of domains registered and they will be unlocked in waves of 25 domains a day. Please email domainrelease@simplix.net with any questions regarding the process and/or requests for your domain's release sooner.

Thank you for your loyalty all these years.

Simplix.net Thank you for being a loyal customer, Simplix.net

Essentially our host is closing at the end of the year. But why am I mentioning this now? Well... because our bill is due soon so instead of renewing for 6 months (which would put me into March, well after the host would have closed...) I plan to only renew for a month at most while I transfer over to another host.

I do not yet have a host lined up for certain. However I do have several candidates I am evaluating. And I've sought further options from some people I know and trust regarding hosts.

This also means that there will be some downtime coming once I know for certain which host we'll be going with and when exactly this will happen. I'll update you when I have more info.]]>

Error code 500 is a very generic message that a server gives when it detects an error has happened but no further info on what that error is or why it happened is immediately available. Often requires contacting the host for more info.

Spoiler:

502 - Bad gateway (A server before the site screwed up and sent an incorrect request. This is often noticeable for sites that use DDoS protection and the DDoS protection either fails or goes down on it's own. )

503 - Unavailable (usually because of maintenance or because the server is overloaded with requests.)

504 - Server time out (the server took too long to get the user's request, like when you click a page that's a request, and thus closed it.)

507 - No storage space left (this is when the server is so full that it doesn't even have enough storage space left to handle the request...)

509 - Bandwidth exceeded (this is when the allocated space for the server/host is exceeded.)


I attempted to submit a support ticket to find out what was going on (at 2:05PM) but at that time the entire site and our host's client panel (where I log in to post support tickets) went offline.

The site and host came back online an hour later (at 3:00 PM). But was quickly (within 45 minutes) put back offline.

It came back approximately 5:10PM though stability is questionable right now and it's likely that the site will go offline again tonight. I have submitted a support ticket though so, hopefully, I can get more answers about what's going on. (And if we're lucky something to stop this issue.)

As a precautionary heads up... I, unfortunately, will not be around most of tomorrow (long day at work) and won't be able to check in at any point. At least until later in the evening.
So if you see the site is offline/unavailable sorry but there isn't anything I can do. (Though if it is a DDoS attack, there really isn't much I can do aside from just wait it out.)

Again, I encourage everyone to check out our old site located here since a copy of this will be posted there just in case.]]>
Error code 500 is a very generic message that a server gives when it detects an error has happened but no further info on what that error is or why it happened is immediately available. Often requires contacting the host for more info.

Spoiler:

502 - Bad gateway (A server before the site screwed up and sent an incorrect request. This is often noticeable for sites that use DDoS protection and the DDoS protection either fails or goes down on it's own. )

503 - Unavailable (usually because of maintenance or because the server is overloaded with requests.)

504 - Server time out (the server took too long to get the user's request, like when you click a page that's a request, and thus closed it.)

507 - No storage space left (this is when the server is so full that it doesn't even have enough storage space left to handle the request...)

509 - Bandwidth exceeded (this is when the allocated space for the server/host is exceeded.)


I attempted to submit a support ticket to find out what was going on (at 2:05PM) but at that time the entire site and our host's client panel (where I log in to post support tickets) went offline.

The site and host came back online an hour later (at 3:00 PM). But was quickly (within 45 minutes) put back offline.

It came back approximately 5:10PM though stability is questionable right now and it's likely that the site will go offline again tonight. I have submitted a support ticket though so, hopefully, I can get more answers about what's going on. (And if we're lucky something to stop this issue.)

As a precautionary heads up... I, unfortunately, will not be around most of tomorrow (long day at work) and won't be able to check in at any point. At least until later in the evening.

This means that any posts made on the 6th weren't transferred to the new server (they're still sitting on the old one). However I saved backup copies of them here so that those affected (Drifter and Vile) can just copy/paste their posts and repost them.

If you see this post though, your ISP has updated the DNS and you are connecting to the new server.]]>

I opened the doors on February 15th 2010. Seems a bit crazy to think that 5 years have passed since then. A lot has happened in these last few years. (And again, thank you to everyone who's stuck around and made it possible. The site wouldn't be here without you.)

Spoiler:
We started off with a forum on Jcink Forum Boards (later Jcink Forum Hosting).

On the second birthday (2012), a new skin was added. (The first version of our existing skin, with the toggleable sidebar sections.) I had also added the chatango box too. And I added the domain name.

For the third birthday (2013) it was mostly just renaming and moving sections around. Not a whole lot changed here.

For the fourth birthday (2014) though a lot changed. We went fully self hosted.

This year though I don't have anything really major planned for changes. (Seems to be the trend right? Odd years not much happens but then the even year ones loads right?) But even still I want to mark the 5th year somehow. I mean in the 3rd birthday topic I'd stated few sites make it to 3 years... Well even fewer make it to their 5th year.


There were changes I had intended on making but they fell through for various reasons. (Time was a major factor...)
Spoiler:
I had intended on updating to MyBB 1.8 but I'm not likely going to do that right now simply because some of the mods we use here aren't 1.8 compatible yet. (And I want to hold off until they're ready. I don't really like the idea of trading off features.) So I don't really have a schedule for when we're going to upgrade for certain. (Probably summer, but possibly within the next few months depending on how things go.)

I had wanted to release a new skin/theme but that never happened before the birthday. (I had no idea what to even make for a theme.) I've asked for your input on what you'd like to see so I'd appreciate any input there. (Do we even need a new theme? Any tweaks or changes to the existing ones? Return of another older theme?)

Regardless...
Happy Birthday to Endless Fight. Thank you everyone who's stuck around to make it possible. And I look forward to seeing what the next years bring.]]>

Depending on your timezone, you may already be into Christmas day. And other holidays (Kwanzaa or Hanukkah) are well under way.

So enjoy the time of merriment and feasting.]]>
