Lammorra 0 Report post Posted December 4, 2007 To Marked and Emily Konichi, I want to personally thank these administrators for all their hard work. These people have work very hard to get everythings back. I for one appreciate what they have accomplished for us all. I am happy to see you are back again. We all have to say together to make something work. None of you could imagine how hollow my stomach felt when I came back from hospital to find RMXP Unlimited was having such difficulty. It broke my heart. This was the first forum that I had ever joined. I treasure my friends no matter what age or who they are. I think that Marked and Emily Konichi should be congratulated for all their hard work. I for one am excited to see some of the old menbers coming back. We have to stick together. Now, let's all help out keep this forum working. Lammorra Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marked 197 Report post Posted December 5, 2007 Thank you Lammorra. If you are interested in the history of RMXP Unlimited, I have recorded it on my blog: http://www.rmxpunlimited.net/forums/index....amp;showentry=3 I haven't updated it since I became administrator though. But it shows we certainly have been struggling a bit. I'm about to make an announcement in this forum in the next few days, which is actually meant for Administrators only, so I'm going to go ahead and move it to Feedback and Suggestions. Actually if you read my Blog, you will see that the forums have become active before, and then dropped again. This for me is certainly nothing to get happy about. But don't worry, Emily Konichi and I will be working hard to improve this forum more and more, and we hope it will become an active forum in time, especially in the RPG Maker XP forums, which is my main goal. The forum has a long way to go until I would say its active, but all the staff here will be trying. Thanks again for your kind post, it really helps when things are quite down for the forum. Also, we finally got indexed by google. I checked this morning. Our old domain name is still ahead of us, and strangely the first hit form google is of our shoutbox. But atleast we are on google, and it only took 20 days. Actually I noticed we got 25% of our total hits in one year, in the last two days. Thats pretty impressive. Hopefully from this more traffic will be coming through here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hopefully from this more traffic will be coming through here. Marked I read your blog, many things happen to use when we try to build a huge mountain on which to place our dreams. I really understand the heart aches you have gone through trying to keep this forum alive. You are not along, by any means. I said that I was shocked to see the forum down when I got out of hospital. What I haven't told you is that I was in hospital 6 times in this past year. I have Asthma, and other breathing disorders. Twice this year, I almost did not make it back to the living. TWICE! It takes all my strength to stay alive and I have to. I have my dreams of publishing my first book. The first novel is on this forum in the writing stories. I have ten manuscripts that I have written. I can see that others have been reading them. I have had several private emails about the story. Sometimes, we really have to fight for what we believe in. I strongly believe that if we let our dreams die, then we will as well. There is no way I am I will let my dreams die. I fought to damn hard these past months to stay alife. That is why I am so proud of you and your friends for sticking to your dreams. For without them, we have nothing. Take Care, I am pulling for all of you. You can do it!

Marked 197 Report post Posted December 5, 2007 It certaintly is refreshing to have someone like you on the forums. :) I have changed a lot since I wrote that blog having left for several months, but the goal is still the same. Not just activity but contribution to the RMXP community. Im proud to say we have helped a handful of members for a small community. Thank you for support, and we will continue to do our best here. I speak for the whole community when I say we wish the best of health for the future, and we support you with your goal of publishing your first book.

Thank Marked Sometimes we all need our own personal cheerleader. I don't do the jumping around. I can give moral support when needed. I will be here for our community. I just received my mobility scooter, so the summer months are going to be filled with adventure. A few years ago, I snapped some beautiful pictures of woodlands and a special water fall. I was thinking that I could email a few pictures to you. They are as far as I can see perfect pictures for backgrounds in our games. Let me know if you would like some. I am still having trouble getting a good ftp program for this forum. Marked, I was in advertising for a newspaper years ago. I am not sure how you would go about advertising that RMXP Unlimited is back up. I would like to help. Lammorra Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marked 197 Report post Posted December 6, 2007 So much to post... :lol: Go Mark !Unlimited have been out been out tons of times actually, not just twice. And I was one of the first to join smile.gif Good days, good days.. And now with RMVX coming out, and Marked with extra enthusiasm -I hope >:]- And with some people like you Lammora, I really can't see anyway these forums will shut down. I mean this Marked has gone through lots of troubles that only few survived ! Oh I'm so gonna get people to join this time ! Just wondering. But are you planning to make this an RMVX site ? I think that people will flood here if you are ! But that's just me.. We've had a rough run, thats for sure. But this time its much different. For a start, some troublesome members are gone. When I left as Admin I still played around with my trap17 hosting, so I learned quite a few things actually. I can tell you its near impossible to get rid of the forums this time(After saying that, i really hope it doesnt happen :lol: ), I back up all the files twice a month(Only important for modifications) and backup the database automatically everyday in three different locations. As well as a backup host. If anything happened to the forum, I could have it back up in hours. You're member no.14 actually, one of the few I stole from RMXP Ultimate. Do you want to have your old account back? I was actually wondering if you were the same member for a second there. RMVX forums were made just yesterday. This is going to become a VX and XP forum. I havent yet had a discussion with Emily_Konichi, but you can expect to see some more VX stuff going up around here. There are already resources being made for it as I discovered yesterday, so now is a good time to start adding the forums. I will add Download and Gallery Categories for it as well, but not as many as XP just yet, as the VX activity increases so will the amount of forums and Categories, that should keep things nice and under control. It would be a great help if you got some members to join, we really appreciate help. Thank MarkedSometimes we all need our own personal cheerleader. I don't do the jumping around.

Marked, I was in advertising for a newspaper years ago. I am not sure how you would go about advertising that RMXP Unlimited is back up. I would like to help. Thank you very much for you support. If you would like to send me some pictures, that would be great. Usually we would convert photographs to suit RMXP to use them as resources. I think I can do that, I've just started using photoshop again. You're having trouble getting an FTP program? For this forum? I'm not sure what you mean there. Just incase you are meaning FTP as in file transfer protocol, then I recomment SmartFTP, I've been using that for years. I've started advertising actually. I know how to get traffic here, and I've done a few things to let people know we're back. The main source of traffic is through other forums, although I have no idea how much through search engines we have, but we should get a few since we google stalked us for a couple of days. :lol: You will notice the affiliates at the bottom of the forum. Each of those sites has a button for RMXP Unlimited, where their members can come check out this site. For anyone who wants to help in advertising, you can copy whats in my signature, and put them in yours at other forums. Its a great way of getting traffic.

I really appreciate it. I just have to learn how to use it. I will forward those pictures for you through Email after I reduce their size and optimize them. The place is called Bridal Veil Falls. I will send them as an attachment. Lammorra Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
