Site Status - Update - 5 - [EDIT]
15 years ago
WWW.CUBAFFINITY.NET
STATUS = YELLOW - Active but "PROBLEMATIC"
We are still mostly "out of box" aka 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.Well, what a day Wednesday was, finally got our drama cherry popped, should have raffled how soon that was going to happen, but oh well.
LOL
Talked things over with my team, and no surprise although I'm still pleased as a peach, they don't see any validity in the conclusions that have been jumped to, the assumptions that abound, and the accusations that have been made. Give a guy a warm feeling and all inside to see confirmation that he's picked some critters with good heads on their shoulders and who have faith in that this can be done and it can be done in compliance with the law. That's not going to sit well with a lot of furs, even in the cub community, but that's not gonna slow us down much if any at all when all is said and done. Thanks team for showing your support and strength.
Aside from getting a yellow light concerning a technical concern, and a red light concerning a hiccup with the text editor module, the site is still stable and has been up and running since it was turned on.
We are looking to resolve the aforementioned issues as well as installing and configuring some more modules to make profile creation more fun. Considering some direct concerns with what happened earlier today (Wednesday) we are also looking to install and tweak the sign up process to where we will require some information in order to better determine if someone is creating an account to troll or if they intend on actually being a contributing and otherwise welcome participant in our community. Later one members will have to furthermore agree to use of the site compliant to what is pretty much the same as what every other site asks in order to use their site. As this is somewhat of a gated, guarded, and focused community, we feel it necessary to mention here that you need not worry about security matters with the current "open door" policy where everyone is getting an account.
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... Looking to have a rough site policy up in a week or less.
4... I intend on making an official announcement as to a few staff members in a few days or sooner, and have the vague list as to positions that need to be filled or rather those that need to be filled ASAP up within a week or sooner.
5... Had intended that the site be mostly out of default by now and a beta version of the site as cubAffinty live by the weekend, but this looks to be now like we will be out of default by the weekend and hopefully beta cA in a week.
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 by this time next week.
Things are only going a little slower than planned and in one day we could take a sudden leap in progress and surprise us all, so don't get discouraged.
We appreciate your patience and enthusiasm, keep up the hope, we can do this.
[EDIT]
We will also be installing language support over the next few days for the following...
Czech - Čeština
French - Français
Hungarian - Magyar
Portuguese, Brazil - Português
Portuguese, Portugal - Português
Spanish - Español
Please don't feel too discouraged if your preferred language is not listed as we will be adding more as we see a need. You can also message us with a request and we'll consider implementing it on the site.
