Yes, this is me and I asked for a password reminder yesterday and nothing came. I'm on a different comp cos mine is still in transit and won't be here till late this week early next week. I have my comp saved to remember and I dun need to put it in but I couldn't remember the password to sign in on this comp. I was gonna delete this membership once my comp arrived. Am I doing wrong? <insert crying emote>

naw if your new comp has your stuff and you are getting it soon, lets wait for that before I start screwing with your account.

This really blows. Don't mean to have lurker status but spend most of time on road without comp. Would like to help any way I can.

With so many members around the world is there some way to hook up and do something at the thousands of comicbook conventions or retail stores to support heromorph?

At some point in the next couple of weeks we will be moving the site to a new server. hopefully this will be a easy move but if the last move taught us anything, I might have to rebuild the site again expect some down time while we get backups and things of that nature.

the move will most likely happen this week or next week.
The site backup was taken last friday, hopefully the site transfer will go smoothly and everything will get transferred over but their is a chance that we may have to go back to the date of the backup. there is also a chance that some things might not make the transfer.

If you posted anything since friday and it goes missing. please feel free to repost.

Also expect some site outages during the transfer and in preparation of the transfer.

thank you.

well a lot has happened.

the site was completely broken for over a week on the first attempt at a move with our old hosts Webserve.ca (truely the worst host on the web IMHO) to a new server that they promised. originally they moved the site to a new server. broke the original site and they total fucked the site at the new server. after day and days of constantly being ignored by them we were able to get the site running again on the orignal server.

then shortly after moving again they decided it was time to try to extort money from us again when we tried to download a fresh backup of the site they actually wanted us to pay them over 6000 bucks to download the backup of the site. even though we were at 40 gb of a 3 tb a month transfer.

Anyway, we are not on those fucking morons server anymore.

We found a new host. we moved the site. Unfortunately this new server runs slightly different software then we are used to so few things just do not work properly atm. We are working at adjusting our code to work with our new home and old features will be coming online as they are repaired.

Some features of the site were planned on being phased out anyway such as the "lady Heromorph challenge area" and tutorial downloads. we have some new sections of the site that will be coming online very soon.

This new home should give us room to grow and hopefully more uptime then we have had. (that should not be hard since webserve's server would crash at least twice per day)

Some features that were previously turned off due to bandwidth problems have been restored such as the 3d freebie section and cstom avatar upload for any member with 100 posts or more.

Phase one of our move/upgrade has been completed. I want to thank everyone for their support thru the past few months as well as your understanding thru this transition.

feel free to contact me via PM, e-mail or in this thread if you have any questions.

Thank You to You and all the hard working people that have had to deal with this mess.

I am curious if you have legal recourse against Webserve.ca; it sounds like a lot of money was paid for un-rendered services, money that should be refunded to the person(s) who generously fund Heromorph.

Or, a more fun idea, now that you are clear of Webserve.ca; what can we do to be generally annoying to them?

I gotta admit that I was a lurker member for a long time. I did and still do appreciate all the time and effort all artists put into their craft. I have been posting some in the last few weeks and even donated a little to the site. I hope to start making my presense more noticable in the coming future by expressing myself more. This is a kick ass site that needs to stay around for as long as possible. To all artists who make this site as awesome as it is, I say thank you and please don't stop!

Nice to have you onboard and out of the lurker ranks Oobie, glad to know that people enjoy the site, It would be nice if more lurkers started joining in more and stopped well lurking

Jedi, no worries you don't need to do anything to webserve...I would never recommend them to anyone ever...unless you hate that person. But we have moved on and soon they will be but a distant memory of shit gone by.

Real nice work on the new site. I appreciate all the hard work you folks put in,on a daily bases,to keep this wonderful site up & running.
I sure am gonna miss my old avatar but i"ll survive somehow.

you have more then 100 posts. that means you can upload a custom avatar in your account soooo you can have your old avatar.

I hear that if you put fresh dog pooh in a bag, light it on fire, and put it on their front porch they will come out and stomp the fire out and get dog pooh all over their feet. I say you go do that at least twice a day to annoy them.

thanks for the info about avatars,Hawk,but my old one was from the list of av's here & has now been deleted & even if i had a copy of it,i would have no idea how to upload it,because i'm computer illiterate. it was also a gif animation,which is no longer allowed,if i read right.

to upload a custom avatar. you go to your account page. you click avatar.
then you browse, select the image on your pc you want then click submit.

Gif images are still allowed as avatars just not in the art galleries.

with the exception of some minor tweeks the main site is finished.
We do plan on bringing a new section to the site very soon. Have fun and be happy.

Thanks JR, I'll keep that in mind for those times when I get in a silly vindictive mood...

umm...

what was your home address again?
