Folks, we now have an official reason for why IPBFree went down!

There is now an actual chat applet in the chat section, rather than just a link and instructions.

Now, back to the forums to do a lot of touch-up.

It is only the basic skeleton at this point, but hey, at least it is not a zombie or something. I have decided to experiment with the "Merge Fire Wolves with Von Entertainment Forums" idea and see how it works out. There should be no problems.

I shall work more on the forums later. Meantime, I shall look into making chat more convenient.

IPBFree, our old forum host, is gone for good. This is not much of a hit for this site, which had little to lose. However, another site I manage, Fire Wolves, took a huge hit from this.

Rather than create another forum board for each, the members of the Fire Wolves forum board may (not definite yet) be coming over here. After all, we have many of the things they need right here and, of course, it will provide this site with a much-needed boost of activity.

You will notice that the current Forums link is missing from the nav-bar. A new forum board is being worked on. as we speak... er, I mean type.

On another note, I still have yet to fix that glitch in Jewel Chaos for some reason. Gah.

I have put up a new game. It is a basic one. A math practice game, to be specific.

*dodges a thrown tomato*

Oh, come on, guys, trust me. I would not upload it if I did not believe it to be a fun game. I, after all, made typing practice fun, did I not?

Anyway, I made said game during C++ class at college. It was my final project. I do not expect to do any further work on it, but you may see more of Twippy in the future. You may also see more C++ projects from that class soon.

Also, I just remembered that I forgot to fix the background bug in Jewel Chaos. Blast it.

I am going to be replacing Jewel Chaos with a newer version soon. If Jewel Chaos is missing at some point, that is why.

EDIT: The new game is up, but there is a glitch with one of the backgrounds. Unfortunately, I cannot fix that now (dinner time). I will when I can.

EDIT 2: The background glitch is fixed. However, I found a minor glitch with the background toggle.

Sorry about the site outage. I figured that the premium service auto-updating would mean that the domain name would also auto-update, but apparently not. Long story short (or rather, short story shorter, call me lazy), I got the domain name renewed and now the site is back in full, CSS-including, links-not-broken glory.

Also, I have updated the financial situation. Yes, I am down $200 due to this venture. So, um… donations, guys?

I had forgotten to change the Jewel Chaos page to reflect its current status. This is now fixed.

A new game, Jewel Chaos, is in the games section. It is complete, though possibly subject to revision.

Remember when I mentioned my plans for Special Abilities? I have decided to name them Signature Moves instead. I am considering making it so characters do not gain their signature move until after they are promoted.

Yes, there are class promotions in this game. Or rather, there will be eventually.
