oonagi

Hello again, long time no speak :)

First off, I’m sorry for the site being down for over a year. I know that oonagi lost its relevance some time ago, but as the gatekeeper to nearly a decade of Thanet scene information, I shouldn’t have kept it from you for so long.

This is kinda the first stage in an archival releases of the site. I can’t say when phase two comes as this one has taken me many months to compile. Regardless here are the highlights:

• The best login management we’ve ever had. Your username will now provide seamless access to all parts of the site.
• Complete forum archive (almost). I’ve imported the previous forum into this one, you’ll find it in the lower half of the forum. I’ve also merged many users giving you a true total post count. If you find your user profile isn’t merged, drop me an email (kevin@skinofstars.com) and I’ll do it for you.
• Unified theme. Actually, probably best described as a pretty grey theme, but I’m a minimalist kinda guy. At least you know you’re always on the same site ;)
• No forum spam. Well, for now…

Phase two should include snapshots of all the previous versions of the site. Which’ll be, when I get around to it. Naturally, If the site every picked up again I would prioritise integration with other services… I guess we see what happens.

Thank you all for your patience.

Kevin

Hello oonagi, hope you are all well.

I've just paid up oonagi for the next two years, so you can all now rest assured that oonagi isn't going anywhere just yet. As I'm sure you know, I'm not in Thanet anymore, but I still love you all so I would like to make this an even more useful site. Nothing is going to happen for a month or so but I was talking to Jay the other day about maybe adding some sort of simple feed reader to the front here. See if we can get updates from MySpace/blogs/Twitter/Facebook and whatever social thing we all like that week. I'd love to hear what you lot think about that, but we can talk about that later if you like.

I'm also going to be running some updates over the next day or so (today being 12th March 2009). This is just the usual stuff so you'll not notice much difference, it's just so you know that there may be a little downtime.

You all take real good care of each other now and we'll speak again in a bit. xxx

Hey guys, just thought I'd point out that I have now updated the navigation (if you didn't already notice!). No real changes in the background or anything, its just for making it easier to get around.

I'm afraid that you'll still have to log in again to edit the wiki. I'll see if I can update that over the coming weeks (shouldn't take more than an hour to sort out), as well as the minor issue with the main site navigation on the wiki if you are using Internet Explorer. Though I will say that all of you Windows kids should be using either Firefox or Opera!

Anyway, like I said before, all I'm doing with the site now is stabalising it. If you have any new features that you really think I should do then please let me know (see previous posts for contact details). Otherwise, I look forward to seeing you all around the site and hopefully, on the wiki ;)

Thanks,
Kevin

I received an email the other day about problems logging into the forum. The problem the were having was trying to log into the previous forum, so now I am going to emphasize the point. There is a new forum which is found at [link]http://oonagi.co.uk/forum[/link], please update your bookmarks. I hope that clears things up.

Otherwise, I've not stopped working, just been held up a little by the fact thats th holidays are over. I am currently trying to build an all encompassing navigation bar which should look a little like (EDIT) as you see above

Hope you all find that adequate, I'm trying to keep it all simple. Most of the style coding has been done, I just need to figure how to integrate it well into every part. I also want it to have a search box (I'm sure you can see the space for that) which will can be used for all parts of the site (wiki/forum/news archive/links etc) but that will have to come a little later, ie, when all those parts of the site are working well.

Ok, that it for this post. As always you are all welcome to email me (ringmain at gmail.com) with abuse, jokes, stories and perhaps even something to do with oonagi, though of course thats not a pre-req.

Take care
