We're Back!
News posted 1st April, 2003 by ShadowCaster  
We're Back! Thanks everyone for being so patient while we switched hosts, we were having a few teething problems. First of all, Rikus sends me an email saying "I'm going on holidays for 6 weeks... BTW you have three days to get a new host" which is obviously not a great deal of time when you want to make sure everything is right before doing the switch. Secondly, the person I had been talking with about getting space with hasnt been online for the last month or two, so I waited until a day before "CrapStreamUSA" took our site down before I realised that he wasnt coming and I'd better find another place.

To cut a long story short, I found a great place that's cheaper than DS and has more features... Cool, eh? So for the first month or so, let's try and test this new host as much as possible. If it cant stand up to DC's bandwidth, I have 30 days to get my money back :) We dont want a repeat of CrapStreamUSA, do we now?

Anyway, you found your way here so you obviously know the temporary URL: http://create-gamescom.readyhosting.com, but what you may not know is that DC will be registering a new domain name www.daily-click.com which should be available in a few days time. I realise that this is kind of like throwing a spanner in the works, but like I said, Rikus is on holidays so I cant get the password to the registrar to transfer our old domain...

In any event, if you find any problems with DC, be sure to send me a DC Mail.

~Mike

Sorry to everyone that got the email three times! That's ASP for you ;)
 
Posted by ShadowCaster 1st April, 2003

Oh yeah, and no more ad on the front page ;) I'm sure everyone likes that :D

Yayness :) Good to see it back. Will the new domain name just link to this one and leave www.daily-click.com in the location bar? I hate that.
 
Posted by Karl Hedlund 1st April, 2003

I used http://www.create-games.com now and I got here. That's kinda easier then that temporary one eh?

I wish someone had said Datastream was shite before I signed up *laughs*

I'm soooooooo glad you've switched away from DataStream, they sucked. There were always problems and the bandwidth was rubbish

Great, the site's bak up. Now if only they'd get around to starting the next game of the month. :)
 
Posted by RapidFlash 1st April, 2003

Yeah, it's back! And I used create-games.com too to get here.

YEY No more Mr. popup guy!!!!!
 
Posted by Daniel[Crazy_Productions] 1st April, 2003

lol i noticed some weird stuff... one thing is that you cant get into the gotw section cause if you click the link you come to the frontpageX)
 
Posted by ShadowCaster 1st April, 2003

Just a notice about the create-games.com URL, I cant change the location it links to because I dont have the password to our registrar, but I've made the default file on our old server send you here. But obviously once our payment with Datastream is up, that wont work anymore... So dont just ignore the temp URL, because you wont be able to use it soon! Actually, it should have stopped working yesterday, I dont know why our datastream page is still up considering we havent paid money for it...

I'll fix the Timeline, GOTW and Clickzine when I get home this afternoon from uni... speaking of which, I'd better stop posting and go get ready @_o
 
Posted by ShadowCaster 1st April, 2003

Oh, JUST SOMETHING TO MENTION: because people dont always use a valid email address in their account, that script I made to email everyone sent out about 2500 emails to non-existant addresses... all of which got returned to my mailbox :) So no matter how many emails you got, trust me, I got it 2000x worse ;)
 
Posted by Joshtek 1st April, 2003

you should disable them until they enter a real e-mail ;)

Nice to see DC up again. *cough* ShadowCaster Posted: April 1 2003 I'll fix the Timeline, GOTW and Clickzine when I get home this afternoon from uni *cough* Just jokeing! ;)
 
Posted by TomH 2nd April, 2003

Shadow has been very busy lately. So give him a break for a while.
 
Posted by RapidFlash 2nd April, 2003

Don't forget the Review Zone and the Previews to Look for section, Shadowcaster ;)! And the great thing about this server is NO POPUPS!
 
Posted by ShadowCaster 2nd April, 2003

BTW: To everyone who has sent me a DC Mail about one thing or another, dont think just because I havent replied yet that I dont love you... Since DC came back up I've gotton around 50 DC mails in the span of a day, so it'll take a while to reply to all of you, but dont worry, I'll get to you sooner or later!
 
Posted by ShadowCaster 2nd April, 2003

Oh yeah, and as far as updating the pages goes, I realised last night that I had an assignment to do for today which I hadn't started... sorry, but that gets priority! :) HOPEFULLY this afternoon, because tomorrow is relitavely light, so I should have time.
