    Kuky_nekoi reacted to Tay in Important: Domain and Host transfer   
    Hey everybody, this is a pretty significant post. Please saddle in with me.
     
    Fuwanovel is migrating to both a new domain (Fuwanovel.net) and a new server (which we host). The old “.org” domain is going to be redirecting to the new “.net” domain automatically, so even if you forget to mark your calendars with the following dates, you’ll still end up in the right place. Be sure to update your bookmarks at some point, though : P
     
    (Tomorrow) Wednesday 2/18/2015 – Evening: the forums, the Fuwazette blog, and the FuwaReviews blog will be redirected to the new domain. Next week (as late as 3/1/2015): The front site will redirect to the new “.net” domain  
    For those of you who are nosey and want to start poking around the “.net” domain right away, you’ll find all the services I had mentioned but the forums will be outdated and the front site may or may not be online or functional. Do not panic – we’ll update the forums at the time of the transfer tomorrow night, and no content will be lost.
     
     
    Precautions and Cause
    Some of you will remember our failed migration last year. We’ve taken significant precautions to prevent a repeat of last year: Nayleen has optimized the server and we have paid for a significantly more powerful machine to host the site. Nay and I both did our homework looking for hosts, and we’re very pleased with the one we’ve got: scaling the droplet (the hosting power) is easy, and we’re enjoying a good value for what we’re getting.
     
    We did this move for many reasons. Chief among them were legal concerns and recommendations, and my deep-felt responsibility to protect the many community leaders from new legal risks (of which I’ve only very recently become aware).  More positively, it also needed to happen because we have a lot of new content and services rolling out in the near future.
     
     
    Consequences of TOS
    The hot-button issue is compliance with our host’s TOS. I’m engaged today and tomorrow inspecting it and getting legal clarifications, but I do not believe we will be able to host torrents on the front site following the move and the D&R board will be too much of a liability to keep. It wasn’t my intention to have this happen all at once, but I feel like we have little recourse in light of protecting one another. I apologize if the legal liability is shocking, but the best way forward is to admit that what’s done is done, and the only thing we have control over is how we choose to move forward.
     
     
    Compensation
    I don’t know how else to say this, so please bear with me: I realize that losing the torrents will rub some of you the wrong way. It should make all of us concerned, as they were a major draw to the site. I’ve got two thoughts on the matter: 1) the year-end surveys indicated that torrent usage among the three surveyed usergroups (core, FB, Twitter) was much lower than anticipated, which will soften the blow, and 2) new features must by necessity rise to attract users in their place. Here is a taste of what I’ve been working on over the past few months and crystallizing (hurriedly) in the last few days:
    The forums have been updated with blogging software. Users can input links to their own blogs, import RSS feeds of their blog, or create blogs hosted by Fuwanovel itself. This includes official/featured blogs such as the Recognition blog, or the Dev Boards Update blog (which is open to all the project managers in the dev boards to post freely on), or the Help Wanted blog (which similarly allows project managers to post freely when they’re looking to fill a position). All these blogs will have their own RSS feeds and will be incorporated into the corresponding Fuwazette categories. (Saving Tiago, Zaka and others time and hassle) ^ this blog functionality will have a lot of cool implications (such as for private clubs and the VN readers club!) The FuwaReviews site will now be reviews.fuwanovel.net, and it will be much more robust than simply a blog of the team’s reviews: I have negotiated with ~a dozen prominent VN bloggers and received the green-light to incorporate feeds of their VN reviews into the reviews site. I plan to continue to reach out to more bloggers and build this base. Things are looking pretty positive. I’ve been in productive talks with several OELVN devs (if I’ve talked to you about this, please don’t name names) and it looks like we’ll be able to form productive agreements for early-access game reviews, interviews, and PR access (we get emails/rss feeds of exclusive insider info to publish on our blogs before they announce it publicly). I can’t finalize these agreements until the full “.net” site is live, but it looks promising! I believe that I’ve arranged for an interview with [two gaming site writers/freelancers]. The interview would be about the VN landscape, Fuwanovel’s history, and how we plan to grow/expand in the future. No firm commitments, yet, but I’m in talks. There is another possible opportunity for an interview in a similar but more tech-focused major online blog as well. The front site redesign team is going to be launched for-reals in the next 72 hours. I’ve made a template for, and several examples of, mock-ups (which are flawed, but conversation starters), and I’m busy this afternoon uploading useful assets/psd resources to be available and ready for the team. Emi has agreed to be our secret-genius weapon, which means we can’t fail : P We’ve purchased a forums add-on which will allow us to use forums content in clever ways in our other websites. I’ve started putting together some ideas of ways it could integrate with the front site (including “FuwaScores” of games where fuwanovel users can score the games they’ve played and track their VN playing history), but its scope is much larger than that one implementation. With Nay’s help, I hope to come up with lots of cool ways to use this. Part of my discussion with devs is their agreement to a “releases” feed which would track OELVN releases and which could easily integrate TL releases on PC, but also on iOS and Android. I’ve been talking to several of the mobile app store VN devs, and they’ve almost universally been enthusiastic about the idea ^ This would be incorporated into the games section and a “What have I missed?” section which would list the important recent news and releases Fuwanovel Academy – the evolution of the “ultimate VN starter kit” idea – will be a section on the front site which will explain VNs, help players get started with a VN within 10 minutes of starting reading, and provide a lot of advanced information about the VN landscape, “movers and shakers” in the western VN world, and (hopefully!) some exclusive (read: slightly longer than normal) demos from our dev allies Obviously added on top of this is outreach to TL groups and OELVN teams to get them to use the Fuwanovel dev boards and/or the updates feed Expansion of the creative corner and dev boards  
    Last of all, I’d like to mention that our host of the past two years has been very generous to us. I’ve passed along our gratitude for the extra nine months he’s given us to put our ducks in a row, and I want the community to know he’s making the transition very easy for us and being very supportive.
     
     
     
    No matter what we do, we're going to lose some of our traffic and our userbase. I’m convinced this is a necessary decision (if a painful and hard one), and that we’re going to make it through this. People can say a lot of things about Fuwanovel, but nobody can deny that we have staying power.
     
    Thank you for your time. I realize this is a lot, and it’s overwhelming. Please don’t be afraid to speak up or ask questions.

Perfectly logical conclusion there, Amoirsp.   The game deserves better than that. That is not good enough for any kind of release, let alone to charge money for. Obviously they are going to continue to work on it, but if they actually want it to be good, they can't use that as a base.

    Day 7 Recap - Enter C@F: Ver. Navigator
     
    You know the drill: another stream, another recap. Here is what we learned from day 7. No new characters, but a couple more facts regarding the application Cocoro Function as well as some pertinent information regarding Bell.
     
    Additional information about Cocoro@Function:
     
    1. As we all know, Taiyou's C@F application pertains to his thoughts being read by those around him via a mode called Open Window. Sei is another holder of Cocoro@Function, though instead of having her thoughts read, she has the ability to find solutions to almost any problem.
     
    Enter Navigator.
     
    In Sei's case, this application simply does as the name states: it "navigates" a path to any solution that the user seeks. In the VN, this often times leads to problem as the program itself doesn't know how to distinguish between what activity is illegal or not. In one instance, in order to get rid of the application, it goes as far as to destroy all of Haru's data in the school. Rough.
     
    Additional information about Orcas:
     
    1. In addition to many of Bell's unique features, she also houses what is known as Manner Mode. In this mode, Bell can stealth herself around others while still functioning as the new 3D model update she is. Basically, it functions as a sort of silent mode for phones.
     
    That's about it for day 7. Nothing too special, but a lot of character development happened in this stream, so feel free to check out the videos regarding it in the channel.
     

     
    Day 8 Recap - It Belongs in a Museum
     
    A double recap post! Again, no new characters, but a whole lot of action in this stream. KizunaS secret meetings, Haru being deleted, panty shots, what more could you want? What could possibly be more important than seeing girl's panties anyway? On a serious note, a lot of stuff happened regarding the background of MIA's hacking skills. She has built a lot of applications that are pretty sketch, but for the most part work in her favor. Later in the VN, it will interesting to see if she has more tricks up her sleeve.
     
    Additional information about Orcas:
     
    1. MIA Application #1 - Aegis
     
    Aegis, as is similar to the greek name, acts as a shield that protects the owner from being hacked into or spied on by other Orca users. Think of it as an anti-virus software. In MIA's case, she uses this application when Sei is spying on her conversation in KizunaS. While it can't pinpoint who exactly is doing the hacking, it can find the general location of the person (in this case the school), as well as how long they have been doing the activity in question.
     
    2. MIA Application #2 - Trident
     
    Trident is an all-in trump card. Basically, it deletes all known forms of data regarding the user in KizunaS. In MIA's case, she uses this to completely destroy all data regarding her avatar or time in the program over her entire lifetime. A little over the top, but still useful if you want to hide everything about yourself. Still, it is not stated as to whether this application is able to be used outside of KizunaS, so we don't know if it has any other uses aside from this.
     
    3. MIA Application #3 - Thor's Hammer
     
    Thor's Hammer is a unique application. I am not really sure what this one does, but apparently when MIA activates it, it has the ability to break into any system (in this case the protective shield surrounding Haru). It seems to be more powerful than Asagao's Application Z though, so this shows that MIA has superior application creation skills when it comes to breaking into secure areas. Interesting.
     
    4. In addition to the secret stash of MIA applications, another one of Asagao's applications was revealed in the Day 8 stream. While there isn't really a name for it, it's main purpose is to stop the deletion of data on Haru when the incident is occurring. Apparently, you "shake" your Orca at the computer and it stops the deletion process. Seriously, that's all.
     
    Additional information about the world:
     
    1. Haru, like most high end data storage devices, contains a security system that acts a lot like a booby trap from Indiana Jones. Apparently, compromising the mother computer makes her delete all her data as a final "take you down with me" ploy. Nothing really special about this point, but that may play a role later in the VN.
     
    And that's it for day 8. Hope you guy's enjoy the recaps, as well as the videos being posted for each stream. See you next time!
     
    ...Oh, and also, a little special treat:
