Site Materials Restoration Progress (1/13/'18)

Posted by Merit Celaire on Saturday, January 13, 2018 - 06:34 PM

Hey there, friends; just wanted to give you all a quick update on a few things in our "home base website" restoration efforts (which also includes some "music operations" stuff in general).

(1) Forum Portal Restoration Progress
Two cases: first, the past few weeks have had me go through Hades trying to see if I was able to find another more reliable forum software candidate. After a lot of trial and error, it seems that I had to make the final decision to stick with the Phorum forum software (that was the recent software that was used on our previous host before the "events" that occured during the middle of last year). The good news is that the previous site backup that I had contains the "materials" that I need to reinstall the customizations for it. However, I still need to use them as a "guide" to make adjustments to make a new default skin that matches the main website here (including the top links, banner, and background/color schemes for consistency). But we're getting there on that front slowly; I'll keep you all posted on how this is coming along and when this part of the site will be open again for all of us. Stay tuned!

(2) Other Materials ("Behind the Process", Music File Statistics Document, etc.)
The other part is dealing with getting other aspects of our "home base" website back over here again, which includes the "Behind the Process" area and a document that housed statistics on the Super Nintendo music style arrangement files that we have available for these operations so far (and thank heavens it was updated after I posted the Mario Kart 7 and Mario Kart 8 stuff before the E3 2017 happenings!). There are other things that I want to try and bring back as well after I sort through the backup files that I do have, but that is a low priority at this time; I want to deal with getting the above mentioned stuff in this category accounted for first.

On a side note, it looks like if all goes well and the above factors get dealt with in a timely manner (although I still can't guarantee this), it looks like I might get back into my Super Nintendo music style arrangement groove itself prior to our starting our eighth anniversary for these operations overall next month! And not a moment too soon; one of my "sources" have pointed me to a certain Mario installment in which two songs have caught my attention big time; those two targets hit my "arrangement target planbook" the other day and I am already making preparations to begin the process. I know you are all asking the question: "What songs are they?" Right now, it's a secret; but I do hope that I can see about sharing said stuff with you come next month as we begin our eighth anniversary. Can't wait.

That's it for now, friends; see you all later until next entry, and stay warm out there! I'm out.
