First of all, welcome to the webboards Sprong, it's always nice to see new faces

.

I currently host Slayer's guide from my home and, due to such things as power black-outs, accidental blowing of fuses etc., the server that currently hosts Slayer's guide is not nearly as reliable as the Mac Classics server that originally hosted the site. I'm sorry that I can't gurantee the site is up and running all the time; I feel that 'sometimes' is better than 'never' though.

The problem you encountered has been fixed, so the guide should be working again. As for the general issues of unreliability, after my final exams are over I'll do some research into improving stability (and maybe buy a UPS for good measure).

Welcome ^_^

The website is working for me now. . .

I'll become even more undignified than this

Thanks for the welcome, I feel included already

And cheers for fixing the site. I didn't realise it was on your own server; sometimes is indeed better than never. Good on you for keeping it going, and keeping Cythera fans happy!

As for final exams... ugh... I know how you feel. Awful things. I'm looking forward to them being over.

Sprong, I see you registered almost two years ago.

Anyway, it is nice having new faces.

I'm going back to the ones that know, with whom I can be what I want to be

Haha, yes I guess I did, didn't I. I probably meant to post on an EV forum but never got around to it. I had completely forgotten that I was already registered when I went to join this time around ... I only found out because, when I applied, it told me someone had already taken my name. Which turned out to be myself 2 years ago, heh

Hehe. I do that myself, don't worry.

By the way, Sprong, welcome to the web board. (I apologize for this rather belated welcome; at first, it slipped my mind and since then I've been busy.)

Long Live Cythera! Long Live the Cythera Web Board!

No problem

Like I've said before, it's great to see that people still appreciate old games like Cythera.

Yes, there are so many people, I'm having a hard time welcoming them all, but I am thrilled to see so many new faces.

I intend to

It's funny, in the last year or so I have occasionally thought about coming back to Cythera, but never got around to it until now. By complete coincidence I seem to have timed my comeback well – looking at old posts, it seems the forum was going through a bit of a latent phase until a few months ago. Hooray for a new lease of life! Long live Cythera! etc etc.

EDIT: Oh yeah, and CrazyChick, thank God you said that – I'm now no longer mortally offended. Just terribly hurt. You'll have to give me time to get over the pain and neglect I suffered. I'll send you the counsellor's bills later. I hope, for my sake as much as yours, that I will find it in my heart to forgive you.

In other words, thanks for the welcome and don't worry about a thing

Yeah, it seemed as though the web-boards pick up when I joined. I still can't stop killing topics, though.

How many copies of Slayer's Guide are on the 'net now?

I'm not certain, but, including those copies on archive.org, there could be portions of quite a few.

I websearched it, and came up with 513 results, but I know some of them aren't actually Slayer's guide, just people talking about it.

The goal is hundreds of thousands, but we're not quite there yet.

Bump, since I keep referencing it.

Perhaps we should put a link to Slayer's Guide in the Archives?

I am so confused as to the tense of this conversation~ past, present, I sounds like both. ARG-MY-HEAD. anyway I think the "Noobs" will stay, I may only check in once every couple days, or week, I maen well, and Crazy...well she's an addict. A MAC-ADDICT. hahahahh (and yeas I DO get to laugh at my own bad puns). I am glad this is posted, perhaps it cut down of the arbitrary asking of plot questions. I know I am a hypocryte [sic], but I have reformed myself, and where is slayer these days anyhow, if sombody know him, they should drop him a line ie: get him to show his hideously-beautifyl-moderator-face.

PS:just thought I would drop that last line to see if Avatara will edit it. well, hmmm, guess this coudl bae wait.

The only thing I'm addicted to is reading. And the Cythera web-boards, but who isn't?

Putting Slayer's Guide in the Archives would be a good idea, I feel. I don't know why I've still got it bookmarked, I don't need it any more, having finished the game multiple times.

On an aside, which should I do for the 40 Hour Famine? No reading or no technology? It's a big decision. I feel both would be nearly impossible (as tech involves the Internet. I'm not one of those pathetic teens who can't live without their cellphones. In fact, my cellphone has been off all weekend.)
