At the crossroads? Options

[Yuki Fukurou]

Ah. Sou ne. There aren't very many that come around on that section of the board anymore. So...yeah. I'll probably post my RPG back up when you've taken care of cleaning the slate on the RPG section.

[Zagato]

Hacker?... talking abou that makes me fell like I?m not part of it! C?mon, I was not even here when that happens! And you?re still talking about it like if the world?s about to end.



I?ve been in that kind of situation (risking the safe of the whole C?phiro) and belive me, you need to have courage for it, I want to be part of it, I want to feel like a member of this board, everyone here seem to know each other so well, like a family... but not me.



My sugestion is:

Fist, forget about this, I know everyone here were important, but if you keep looking at the past you?ll never reache the future (I?m not catolic, but even in Bible says... in some chapter, this guy?s father recently died, and he wanted to join Jesus, then Jesus said "C?mon and join me" "But... I need to bury my father" and Jesus answered "Leave the death with the death")



Second, Instead of looking for the old members you can also think in the new ones, some of us can feel a little lost in this place, I?m not saying that this place is not good (that?s why I?m still here), You?re doing a great job, but think about the newbies and soon this place will grow up again as a huge community



And for the last: You?re acting like Hikaru when she has the guilt for killing Emeraud and she was like carryng the whole responsability even if she had nothing else to do. Now, Zagato was not there to tell her something, but guess what? I?m here, so I should say "On your feet Warrioir, you?re a Magic Knight and your will have been tested, so go to recover that sword and hurry, cause we still have a war to fight for!

Thanks for the uplifting word...the real reason we were ( and some of us still are) so upset is because we lost many conversations and postes that some of us charished. It just kind of sucks to lose all of that stuff ya'know?

[Shiidou Hikaru]

Yes, we did lose a lot posts, but not each other and that's what is really important. *Huggles everyone* I think that's kind of what Zagato-san was trying to say with that Gospel quote. Essentially it means that if you spend all of your time worrying about the past, you'll lose your future too. Even though we never got any of our posts back, we've probably already replaced half of what was deleted. So everyone is on the right track to make a bright future for our little community here. ^_^



Among the many posts that were deleted was an explanation of why I chose the title "Pillar of Cephiro" for myself. It is exactly how I view my relationship to the forum. Yes, I'm the Admin and founder of the forum, but I see my primary responsibility as that of a caregiver. Just like Princess Emeraude devoted herself to providing for the welfare of Cephiro, I try as much as I can to make the MKR forum a peaceful and enjoyable place to visit. This community is something that I care for very much, and that's why I was so hurt to see it get ruined by the hack attack. I know that ultimately I wasn't the one to blame for what happened, but I was willing to accept responsibility for the sake of everyone that I've come to love here. And it's something that I don't regret doing either. Ezboard Inc completely fell on their faces in their handling of the catastrophe, and if I had told everyone to look to them for responsibility, we all would have come away empty handed.

Things seem to working okay now, but the dreadful slowness two days this week and some scary reports of Ezboard downloading trojans and worms onto people's comps has me accelerating the move to IPB. The first stage works - I was able to convert parts of this forum to phpBB, but I've run into a snag converting from phpBB to IPB. If I am able to come up with a solution for that, the plan is to go full speed ahead and convert everything asap. Before I start that, I'll make sure to warn everyone though because I'll have to lock the forum from posting during the conversion process.

Ah okay Hikaru-chan... good luck trying to figure out the phpBB to IPB ne.



Thanks for keeping us updated with what you are doing ^^

[Yuki Fukurou]

Sou desu. Gambatte, Hikaru-san.



Hope things are going well.

As I learned from my predecessor Mr. Bond, I never joke about my work - Q "Die Another Day".

[Seraph]

eh......it seems I am unlucky tonight. I am sorry to hear of your loss. You all are such good people. I would hate to see this family die. For that is what you all are. A family. I had hopes in time to become a part of that....but from what I am reading now it seems as though that has little chance of happening. I have already posted a possible solution in the "possbile new domain" thread.....and I hope I do not come too late. It saddens me to see that such a beautiful thing can be destroyed by just one single person. for no other reason that they can.

Yes, everyone that comes here has become pretty close and it will take more than Ezboard's foolishness to ruin our friendships. Actually, school starting up again has probably done more to pull people away than the Ezpocalypse did. The plan to move the forum to IPB has become more of a hassle than I had anticipated, so it's been delayed for a bit.

Hai. I am happy to see that the bonds between the members here are strong. *chuckles* School has a habit of doing that.

Ah...sou ne. Esp. w/the hmwk. & other stuff & what not.

[Dr. Casey]

Thankfully, I have little in the way of homework or social arrangements. I'm glad Christmas Break's coming up, though, because I'm entering the "getting really f'ing tired of school" phase that each year has.

[Dr. Casey]

By the way, whatever happened to that guy who destroyed all the posts on the ezBoard system? Did they ever apprehend him or what? I wonder if it was an adult or some 15-year old brat...

[Shiidou Hikaru]

Erm, as far as I know, no one has ever been held responsible for the Ezboard disaster. My own suspicions have been from the start that Ezboard themselves mishandled their own data and caused the loss through their own incompetence. Their backup system never worked as far as I could tell. A couple of months before that disaster I knew of another Ezboard forum that was hacked when one of their moderators was stupid enough to give out his password. Large parts of that forum got wiped out and Ezboard was not able to fix that mess either. So I was not at all surprised that the Ezpocalypse data loss was permanent. >_>
