Title: Movin' on up (charas 3.0) Feb 1st
Post by: Ben on January 24, 2008, 03:15:18 PM
Hey superfriends

As of february first, 2008, Charas will be closing its doors to the public, for a few days time to make the move to our new server, and Upgrade to CHARAS 3.0 (BETTER FASTER STRONGER). Much data will have to be moved, so needless to say a few days at least, will be needed (MT:Alex reckons it'll take a week).

Osmose's hard work has paid off. We could all stand to give him a pat on the back. Thank you to all of the folks who beta tested. Thank you to Alex for taking time from his busy scedule to help with the move.

Looking forward to seeing you all at the new forum.

The main page will move or only the forums? Also, awesome.

How are we going to cater for the members who will die without a few days' Charas access?

Surely someone could put up a screenshot of the forums or an amusing picture or something to keep everyone occupied.

On a serious note; cool. Look forward to it.

What? I thought I fixed all of those.


I had to change ALL of the announcement threads because unbeknownst to me Gemini had already made this thread. And I was linking to my own thread, which was made after.

Sorry razor,
I had read mt11's post about taking initiative and just posting the infos, in the staff forum, and figured since it had been a while already that id just post it.

New Charas w00t.  :jumpin:

Though my whole schedual of checking charas daily will be horibly screwed up. I'll wake up, try to log onto charas, only to realize that I can't.  :(  I'll have to find something else to do on the internet besides going on charas. And everyone knows the only two things on the internet is charas and p0rn...


A quick question, does anyone know if charas 3.0 will be more IE friendly? Most people have problems when trying to access the forum main page with IE or AOL when logged in. I didn't catch if that would be fixed or not.
Title:
Post by: Archem on January 27, 2008, 03:20:10 PM
I would assume that it would, but I don't know that for a fact.

And about yer pr0nz... I've... got nothing to report via PM...

Chaaraaas, ooooh...

 :violin:

A month or so ago I wouldn't have cared all that much, but I've been using charas way more recently... I guess I'll hang around Animecentral or Drunk duck. But whiiich?

We should keep this thread on the main page for the remaining hours so that the newbies have a chance to see it.
Title:
Post by: Prpl_Mage on January 31, 2008, 06:55:56 PM
Wow, already? Then I'll see you guys on the new place then... Kinda sad as I was almost finished with my creation for the crappy game contest....
Title:
Post by: Moosetroop11 on January 31, 2008, 08:40:13 PM
Just think of it as time stopping for a week. I guess you'll have to submit your game when charas is back up.

Extra time to make it awesomely bad, mmmmmmm?

AFC. We're recovering from some strange goings-ons. Admin powers are finally back in the hands of their rightful owners.

Post by: A Forgotten Legend on February 01, 2008, 12:52:09 AM
Only a few hours left. =(

Goodbye CHARAS!  for a week and a half for me. :(  I won't be home the day Charas comes back.   DAMN DISTRICT CHORUS!  WHY DO YOU CURSE ME SO?

I wanted to be here to post in the first thread of Charas 3.0 ...after the switch over.

Wait... what will happen to posts made at the beta testing test thing?  Will they disappear forever?

Oh well.  I didn't like my under 1000 posting self anyway.  THAT WAS A SCARY BETA TEST.

Are we not supposed to say anything about that yet?  If so, my bad.

You can edit my post.  I won't care.  UNLESS IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH WHAT I JUST SAID.

It was.

Isn't it pretty?
Title:
Post by: Bluhman on February 02, 2008, 11:04:02 PM
Bit o' a problem I'm having; I can't login with firefox, only IE. I prolly should clear my charas-project related cookies though. That might have something to do with it.

Edit: Fixed.
Woah, neat posting format...

[SPOILER]This is pretty cool![/SPOILER] Though I wish I could preview reply's. That'd be nice. And it's also a bit aggravating that the forum came back so early. About 3/4ths of us don't even know that it's back up!  :p
Title:
Post by: ThexXtremeXx on February 02, 2008, 11:04:22 PM
lol its the same thing...
same design
same charas
same people....

Charas 2.0 + Quick reply.

But seriously, what else is new?

check the complete resources 8)

Although, Lucas and i discovered that the Complete Resources don't like us. =p

The CR search thing doesnt work. But I do love the quick reply.

WTF!! I posted something, it said I posted, but it never showed up!

Anyway, aside from my missing avatar, the new charas is cool. There are a few subtle changes, the quick reply is awesome. And this 'award' system may be neat.

Well I certainly was caught offguard.

Post by: HobomasterXXX on February 03, 2008, 08:27:26 AM
So..... the groups are pretty standard. except for the one with razor in it.......

Hey, the site loads within seconds now, THAT'S new.
Title:
Post by: Dragonium on February 03, 2008, 04:56:26 PM
I also noticed that. It is pretty cool.

I like this new Charas. Now all we need is better members. :D
Title: OMG SPOILORS!
Post by: X_marks_the_ed on February 03, 2008, 08:21:32 PM
There's a small flaw. Clicking on a name in a user group (being Razor in superstalin's group), it takes you here. (http://www.charas-project.net/forum/viewmember.php?id=5172)



Besides that, I wish we could see all of our awards on our posts, even the unimportant ones. They'd just be seperated.
Title:
Post by: Razor on February 03, 2008, 09:18:39 PM
Oh wow, SuperStalin remained, eh?
I didn't think that would survive the server change.
lololo



Okay so we're probably going to have to work with the User groups thing
frankly I've forgotten everything from ages ago, and I think the awards need sorting through.
Title:
Post by: Moosetroop11 on February 03, 2008, 10:23:44 PM
Bear in mind, everyone, that the most significant change is that we can alter charas ourselves now (or at least Osmose can). In that respect, charas is 100 times better. It's like... We're not tethered to shore anymore. Where do you wanna go?

EDIT: Damn I love the fact that it takes me back to my post rather than to the first topic page. I love it so very much.
Title:
Post by: aboutasoandthis on February 03, 2008, 11:52:12 PM
I don't get it. It's done? That was fast...
Title:
Post by: Linkforce on February 04, 2008, 07:19:58 PM
AHHHH  I BARELY SEE A DIFFERENCE!!!!!!!!!

Can someone tell me what are the new features?
Title:
Post by: Moosetroop11 on February 04, 2008, 07:31:57 PM
Quick reply, new server (not dependant on Alex), Awards when they get fixed, user groups when they get fixed, Updated CR, Faster, After posting your brought to your post instead of the first page of the topic...

I admit that I thought there'd be a visual change but I guess the fact remains that Osmose is a busy man. Since there's been threads in which Osmose has been asking around for design ideas, this place will probably get a new look in the future.

In the very near future, I'm trying to get a banner contest going so we can change that.
Title:
Post by: Ben on February 04, 2008, 08:24:09 PM
and once the XP aspect of the generator is all blinged and released in full there will  be some new resource contests, and a whole new scope of possibilities with the generators

much faster, i gots to say.
