Fiction Branches
Gender
Create your own story website with lots of transformations, especially gender.
From: guest (DL) , 137 months, post #181
Just to confirm its actually the fictionbranches address i said, not fictionmania. Ill blame that on late time.

From: guest (A concerned person) , 137 months, post #182
I have a question. Will we be able to get the old story's from Zach or will we have to make new ones.

From: guest (Brayn) , 137 months, post #183
Read back a page or so, I've said before that Zach has archives of all the episodes done regularly, some of the last few weeks may be lost but that's about it. But it really depends when he backed everything up last.

From: guest (allisonvoorhees) , 137 months, post #184
You're right. I *do* have fictionbranches.net.

From: guest (krueger) , 137 months, post #185
Thanks to all who are involved in getting this thing moving! You have my resprect and my gratitude and I'd be happy to chip in a few quid for the hosting.

@DL: Speaking of hosting: have you checked the hosting conditions of your provider? While fictionbranches may be text-only, there are some rather graphical 'elaborations' in some grey areas (including incest, animals, rape, etc.). We wouldn't want FB to be shut down due to a provider that is not prepared for kinky stuff...

Thanks again to all!

You guys probably know more about the seedy underbelly of FBs than i do. Heres the TOS of one of the hosts were looking at. http://www.hostgator.com/tos.shtml think FB crosses that in a way tht would get us in trouble?

From: guest (krueger) , 137 months, post #187
Hm, that looks ok to me. The only part which mentions pron is towards the end of section 2 "Content" and specifically mentions children. But since FB does not permit uploading (and thus hosting) of such material, there should not be an issue. Of course if somebody links to something like that, FB is in trouble. But any forum-/guestbook containing website has the same risk.
Can anybody else confirm my assumption that this TOS should be fine?

From: guest (allisonvoorhees) , 137 months, post #188
This section may be cause for concern:

7b.) INODES
The use of more than 250,000 inodes on any shared account may potentially result in a warning first, and if no action is taken future suspension. Accounts found to be exceeding the 100,000 inode limit will automatically be removed from our backup system to avoid over-usage, however databases will still be backed up. Every file (a webpage, image file, email, etc) on your account uses up 1 inode.

We should check with Zack to make sure his site doesn't use all flat files.

From: guest (Brayn) , 137 months, post #189
The entire contents of FB are stored in a single SQL database, the only individual files are the main scripts for the site itself. So it should be ok.

From: Weirdoid , 137 months, post #190
I was wondering if FB should be stored on multiple servers to keep from taking up too much space as one chunk.

From: guest (A Concerned preson) , 137 months, post #191
when we make the fiction branches 3.0 (i think)
i have some ideas

1. we should be able to post comments to branches (though that might cause even more trouble with the size of the sever)

2. we could have a non transformation oriented story

3. we could have a better fourm with a better format in FB so people can colrabate ideas and discuss prolbems and not have to navigate through like we do in the branches of stories

these ideas have problably been said in this fourm and im sorrt if im saying what has already been said

(btw its amazing how fast you people have been working on this, i wish i could help more)

From: Weirdoid , 137 months, post #192
If we are making suggestion for stuff to include in a new FB. I'd like to see a new top end story that is as flexible as You Are What You Wish is.

From: guest , 137 months, post #193
Great progress guys. Quick question though, how long will it be until it's back up again?

From: guest (DL) , 137 months, post #194
The current goal is to get FB 2.0 back running. A week from now i should have hosting, and when zach emails me back we can talk about return dates for fiction branches. I wont be doing any work on the story itself so i cant tell you about any updates. Even if i wanted to implement them id need zachs permission (which from what i heard i doubt id get) and know how his code works.

Im not taking suggestions at this time and until i hear from zach there is absolutely nothing i can do. The site could be back up by wednesday if i could just get Zachs permission and backups.

Once the site is at a stage where we can talk about funds, assistance, likelyhood of any changes and the sort, we will talk about that. For now were refugees here and we have to wait for a response from someone.

Because until then, were just guys with hosting space squating on a domain name.

Good night folks!

Thanks for all the support,
DocLock

Just want to say good work on the speedy recovery plans for FB, it's good to see there's still a fair amount of dedication to the site around.

As a quick suggestion, would we be able to have a slight hierarchy set up if we're setting things up anew? Just so if the worst happens again there won't just be the one responsible person to attempt to contact??

Just a thought for ease of the comunity.

From: guest (Brayn) , 137 months, post #196
DL, I proposed rebuilding FB some time ago to Zach, his response was he's not going to let anyone else code for his "pet project", any changes made will be by him alone. I've "pestered" him occasionally since 09 to do some updates, but he's not intersted in letting anyone touch the code. So a new site would have to be built and Zach would have to willingly hand over if you want to build an FB3.0 on the existing stories.

It's all built in PERL, with a single SQL database handling everything, that's pretty much all there is in the background. Zach's a big fan of encapsulation too, so that'll give you a basic idea of how he's built the site, but he hasn't even let me see the code. So go figure.

fiction branches needs moar github

From: guest (Zach) , 137 months, post #198
Folks, thanks for your efforts. I've contacted DocLock via email about site requirements.

In the meantime I've resurrected YAWYW on transform.to, although it's a rather old archive I'm afraid. Maybe it'll tide you over for a while :-).

Zach.

From: guest (DocLock) , 137 months, post #199
Thanks to zach, and ill have to share the good and bad news. Were working on the relaunch as we speak, and i hope to have things ready for zach to start the move as soon as tomorrow night.

Badnews, unless we get a hold of countd, we wont get a recent backup. TheGuest and I are trying to work on a system for backups thats not in the hands of a single person. Im emailing zach about what the new site could have along side the original system, and about what we will have to do.

Sad news: unless countd is found we only have YAWYW to restore. Ill be chatting about what to do about others and newer additions, but otherwise its just gonna have to be restored from archives and caches that are scavanged.

Thank you everyone and when the site is up we may be calling on you to help restore branches and additions, as well as initiatives to keep the site up and running.

- DocLock

At least something is finally being done to fix this problem. Can't wait to see what you guys come up with, so good luck!
