Site Status - Update - 4
15 years ago
WWW.CUBAFFINITY.NET
STATUS = ACTIVE but "PROBLEMATIC"
We are still only "out of box" - default, and in the middle of configuration and setup, please be patient as we change a lot of things around very dynamically.
We are experiencing difficulty with members signing up and using msn, hotmail, or any other Microsoft associated service, if you did this yesterday and for some reason have not received the email to approve your account PM us and we will take the necessary steps to resolve this. Otherwise right now we ask that you utilize any other email service such as gmail or yahoo. We apologize for the inconvenience and complication.Wow! What a day yesterday was, and I'm not sure the next few days will be any less exciting and busy.
First and foremost to those of you who were clawing and pawing (no not like that silly perv monsters, not that we mind) at the door, when it wasn't even there, because you were so excited about this project, and flooded in at the first chance you got just to sign up... I want to offer you my heart felt thanks. You are a special group who will be at the minimum without much effort from yourself forming the foundation and backbone of what cA is to become. We feel its not really a matter of being a slight chance that we will be successful, with all the minds we are gathering together to do this, and with the creativity, skills, and passion of those getting involved from the get go, we will be very successful in being a cyber home for a nice enough group of littles and those who love them to make it all worth while. We're not aiming to take down ruPadded or the like, we're not looking to replace Ink Bunny, nor even smear FA, we've got a good idea, and all we are looking to do is hold our place in the fandom, and we calculated that there was a place but up till this last weekend and especially yesterday we didn't know for sure... Now we do.
Rah Rah and tear jerker (at least it was for me, there at the end) speech aside, around now or here in a little bit the site will have been up and "stable" for 24 hours.
We decided to go with drupal software package so once again if you know some of PHP and drupal specific and you would like to put that to use with this project, please pm me ASAP.
Current priorities are...
1... Sorting through the modules (feature sets) we want most, upfront (meaning that your fav lacking now does not mean it wont be added later), and implementing them and tweaking any issues out of them so they are usable with as little problems as possible, while also preserving site stability.
2... Keeping up here (cA on FA) and managing transition concerns for people who are trying to make the switch but are having problems or just need questions and curiosities to be answered for. Also still recruiting and forming the Admin team to better pull it together for you guys.
3... Still trying to get site policy written up and will be working more on that.
4... I'll not only be hopefully getting a vague list of positions to be filled, but looking to officially an announce 2 new staff members.
5... Making the site look more like what we want cubAffinity to look like other than a very generic site and getting things up and running so you have some activities to do other than just signing up and signing on. I plan on giving the editor and profile module a priority here so you can play around and create nice profiles in order to claim your identity in our community.
All other concerns as there are many ins and outs of managing this situation aren't really being disregarded its just those I just listed are top on the list. Number 5, the look and feel of the site, will rise from its current last priority as the others are tended to and gotten out of the way, and we look to have what we are calling an actually "beta" version of cubAffinity hopefully by the weekend or at the outside, this time next week.
We appreciate your patience and enthusiasm, so many of you are being so exceedingly kind and helpful and it feels rather nice to bask in that warmth.
