What's Been Happening on the Backend as of 1/12/2020

Posted by Merit Celaire on Sunday, January 12, 2020 - 05:56 PM

Okay, all; apologies for being very "dormant" on the frontend of these operations, but I can assure you that I am absolutely not "dormant" on the backend. On the contrary: I am currently dealing with two "backend situations" which I'll let you all know where things stand at this time.

First, ever since we officially began the 2020 year itself a few weeks back (and after resting up from that), yours truly has gotten back into the Super Nintendo music style arrangement groove again. Details are still under lock and key, but so far, I currently have laid out "tracker process end" wise the foundation of five upcoming covers targeting a certain Nintendo 3DS game that doesn't have a game page for these operations yet. I am hoping, however, that we can make more progress on this angle and get it up for our 10th anniversary next month. Additionally, I am aware that this page has yet to be updated on what I'm currently working on at this time; hopefully, I can deal with this later before the weekend itself is out.

Second, I've been hard at work on the "setup phases" of getting the "Forum Portal" section of our site back in action for our 10th anniversary itself next month as well. The situation is this: we've decided on the forum software to use, and the database for it has been set up as well. The only roadblock that I'm currently sorting out at this time: attempting to log into the database itself on the backend to make some adjustments to it. I have been experiencing some "access difficulty" situations that won't allow me to get at the forum database itself; I currently have an active support ticket with the folks at Vimly Digital to help me get to the bottom of this matter. But rest assured that I am determined to get this angle itself done for the course of next month; will keep you all posted on any new developments on this as they happen.

Finally on a side note: I've been playing catch up on letting you all know about other matters as well. Although we haven't gotten reports of this kind of case, I'm still making plans on getting a form up on our site to all you folks to report on any "plagiarism attempts" involving any of our operation's music files. As you know, the only places authorized so far for sharing my music arrangement works are this site and our SoundCloud account (where I post my "personal favorites" from time to time over there). I'll get more into this another time, but I've been encountering news as of late outside of here regarding people blatantly stealing other people's fan works and posting it as their own. That is without a doubt a red flag there and unacceptable; while I do hope it doesn't happen for these operations, the reality that is that it still could happen, and we need to take the necessary steps to make sure we can take action on those kind of "plagiarism cases" when the need arises. One "plagiarism case" for us is obviously one too many, and we have to be on guard for anything regarding this kind of matter. But once again, I'll elaborate on that more in another post (and when the form itself goes live). Stay tuned.

Until then, you all have a great rest of your weekend; as always, if you have any further questions for me regarding this post, please don't hesitate to send me a email, contact me on Discord (if you have been approved for accessing the server after filling out this form), or via our IRC channel on EsperNet (when I'm online there, of course). See you all later.
