    IPB 4 Upgrade (Important)

    Most importantly: DO NOT FORGET TO PANIC. If you can form roving bands of discontent, all the better.
    10 points
  2. Hey everybody, Important head's up: we will be upgrading to a new version of our forums software (IPB 4) in the very near future, hopefully before the end of the week. Invision will be assisting us with the upgrade, so we can all feel better knowing we're in good hands. Stuff You should know: Some users' have a different log-in name than their public-facing forums display name. After the upgrade those two will be merged together, and you'll simply log-in with your display name (the name that was public-facing before the upgrade). IPB 4 can't utilize our current themes, so when the upgrade happens all our current themes will be scrapped. After the upgrade I'll start the process of uploading the new versions of the FuwaFabulous and Dark themes, but unfortunately Gravity Green 2013 is no longer supported by the Dev and will not be making the transition with us. We will absolutely take time to mourn its passing after the upgrade is complete. If you're making a meaty post, please write it offline in a word editor and then copy-paste it into the forums until the upgrade has been completed. I can't be sure we'll get much warning before Invision launches the upgrade process, and if you were to click "submit" on a big post just after the upgrade started, you'd lose your whole post. If I get a firm date of when they'll be performing the update, I'll let you know ASAP. As it stands, it could come at any moment of any day. Therefore: please take great pains to panic and form roving bands of discontent in the streets. What other questions do you have for me about the upgrade before we get this thing kicked off? ------------------------------------------------ EDIT: Answers to Questions: 1. Are we at risk of data loss? Another "rollback" catastrophe? A: There IS a risk, yes, that something could go wrong during the upgrade. With forums of our size, the best thing we can do is make backups regularly to minimize the loss we'd face in the worst-case scenario. Thus, I made full backups (database AND files) on both 10/5 and today 10/7. I will continue to make at least one backup each day from now until the upgrade is successfully completed. I hated the data loss we experienced with the two big "rollbacks" this Summer, and I want to mitigate as much of that risk as possible. 2. How will themes change in IPB 4? Can we make our own? What about re-creating Gravity Green? A: The software on the back-end of the forums is changing substantially, so a bunch of new functionality will require new/modified assets. Additionally, IPB 4 is responsive, so you'll get a much improved experience on any size of device. It may even be enjoyable to surf this place on your flip phones circa 2005. I don't know that for sure, so don't quote me on that. Smartphones and tablets, tho, will be several times better to navigate on the new themes, though. As far as making themes goes... Invision has guides for how to do that (I'm the wrong person to talk about the technical side of themes), so if you want to check out their site and learn the ropes... go for it! Remaking GG: by doing so we'd run the risk of getting in trouble with the Gravity Green theme's developer (who, it so happens, makes all our other themes) (I like them, and I'm not really looking for a blood feud atm). If there are talented coders who want to try their hands at it, however, I can help you get in touch with them. They're the ones who would make that call. ... EDIT 10/08/2015 5:10 PM EST Invision is working to upgrade the site. We ran into a small issue, but we updated a driver and we think it'll solve the problem. Suffice it to say that this may be a touch-and-go operation.... so hold onto your bootstraps. EDIT 10/08/2015 5:47 PM EST We patched the software ~5 minutes after we had the first problem, but I haven't heard back from Invision, yet. I'm really hoping they haven't gone home for the night, but if they did, I suppose they'll give this another go sometime tomorrow. That said, the support staff have been fabulous to us. All things considered, they're doing a great job.

    It's almost -- almost -- as if I made it my secret goal to steal and hide everything on Fuwa from you! ... RE: Guides -- I'll figure out what's out there and bundle them up for you guys. My Fuwa hours are 8-9PM today, so I'll plan on doing that tonight.

  11. 2->4->1->3->5->6->7 if I recall correctly. Watching it chronologically won't change much to your comprehension imo. And it's not that complex. Do watch it though. It's great. edit: no, it's not based on the world of Tsukihime. It was written before Tsukihime and some characters are actually prototypes of future Tsukihime and F/SN characters. It's in the "nasuverse" though, but not in the same 'world' as Tsukihime.

  14. Since promoting AliceSoft titles appears to be a ban-worthy offense, I may hold off on that. I can't help but think that AliceSoft and MangaGamer are a great match for each other. One company bans the audience they're trying to reach out to. The other harasses those who would promote their games for them. The sheer idiocy of the situation is astounding.

  17. little advice, do not study kanji alone or the readings just study vocabulary and grammar, learning vocabulary will teach you the readings and it will help you when you have to learn the grammar, also do not use romaji avoid it as much as possible.

  18. Cookie is Cookie, they already blown it out of proportions by introducing the 4th form and giving it a route.... You cant really expect much story from Majikoi outside of Bushido Plan/Agave route. Like errrr the game boasts for having the longest H scenes and multiple climaxes to the point of being borderline nukige.

  31. Suspension of disbelief isn't consistent through every genre. I expect a bullet shot in Van Hellsing to do a different amount of damage compared to something like Band of Brothers and I expect gravity to work differently in anime compared to live action. In a slice of life school drama I expect people to act a little more like people not soulless puppets from a slasher movie. Bullying is something that many people have experienced and suffered from so they can already identify with the bullie, having it cartoonishly over exaggerated just seems unnecessary. There is already emotional weight in isolation and verbal abuse. You don't have to artifically try to up the ante.

  32. As stated, bullying is essentially ubiquitous on the international scale, a manifestation of our sociological desires to belong to an exclusive group and be perceived as superior, etc. To address the question, "Is it really so bad over there?" I believe, as a fellow American, that we need to take a wider look at how things work in the US. Your experience and indeed my own are limited to the statistical significance of anecdotes. Education in the US is defined by arguably the most disparity out of any developed nation in the world: “If you’re in the top economic quarter of the population, your children have a 76% chance of getting through college and graduating by age 24…If you’re in the bottom quarter, however, the figure is 4%”[1]. I will to some extent generalize by assuming that your experience is that of a school, perhaps a public one located in a fairly suburban area or a private one located anywhere, in which you may not have often witnessed day-to-day violence, in which what drug dealers existed were not of such a quantity as to threaten the well-being of unassociated students, in which a divide in performance could not be well-defined by the color of one's skin, in which the well-being of the school was not determined by statistical results as seen from the bird's-eye view of urban politicians. In this capitalist American society, in which any strive for equality is seen as an malicious threat to liberty, it is expected that those at the bottom, who old white guys deem to have "equality of opportunity" while equality of outcome is an unknown term, will compete for what they perceive as a higher spot in the pyramid. The only difference in Japan is that inequality[2] is less pervasive and less visible; unlike in the US, in which suburbaners can say, "I may not be at your level, but at least neither of us is one of them" (for having a common enemy is among the most uniting factors of humans), Japan, to my knowledge, has a comparatively shallow pit of poverty. Thus, instead of focusing all of the "ghetto"-ness into one hopeless area, we may find that bullying, while stretched thin, is still notably stretched. And in a nation that shares the capitalist competitiveness of the US but not per se its inequality, where standardized tests more so determine an individual's worth and our phrase "Good luck" can be most accurately translated as 頑張って ("Do your best"), there are bound to be people in all areas who seek to secure their place on the ladder, and one of the easiest ways to do that is to push somebody else down the ladder.

  41. Corpse Party: Book of Shadows Summary "I'm going to save you! I swear!" This sequel tells a series of short stories that help develop many of the characters introduced in the first game and even explores some hypothetical scenarios, answering those “What if they survived?” questions. Players will be given an opportunity to change the fates of the game’s characters – for better, or, in classic Corpse Party fashion, for worse. Despite the apparent benefit of knowing the first game’s events, players should not expect to have all the answers, and at times will find themselves asking if the destiny of these unfortunate souls can truly be altered. Ending Guideline / Suggested Route Order In order to move onto the next chapter, you must obtain the current chapter's True End. To unlock the final chapter Blood Drive, you must obtain all True & Wrong Endings OR import a Corpse Party: Blood Covered save file. Chapter Guideline Chapter 1: Seal True End Wrong End(s) Chapter 2: Demise True End Wrong End(s) Chapter 3: Encounter True End Wrong End(s) Chapter 4: Purgatory True End Wrong End(s) Chapter 5: Shangri-La True End Wrong End(s) Chapter 6: Mire True End Wrong End(s) Chapter 7: Tooth True End Wrong End(s) Chapter 8: Blood Drive True End Attribution This walkthrough is based on info attained on Gamefaqs.com (Ajogamer's walkthrough) with some adjustments made by me.
