Quick Update and Happy New Year!
| immi | 2013-01-02 06:35
Happy 2013 everyone! Hope everyone's holidays went well!
Well, we're off to a new year and we still haven't released anything in the past couple of months... Sorry! :< So anyway, just a quick update of what's going on.
1) Our current hosting plan is expiring soon, so we're looking for a new host! If you know of any good (and cheap) hosts you can recommend, do let me know! Our current one is too expensive.. :< Speaking of which, that also means we're also happily accepting donations to help ease the burden of financing a webhost! If you have some extra cash to spare, please feel free to donate on the left~
2) Related to #1, we (I) will be spending the next couple weeks at least working on backing up and restoring our site to whatever new host we choose. I'll probably also try to work on getting a new site up too... We've been planning to move our site to Wordpress for so long now, but I've been putting it off since I'm really bad at it... If you happen to be good at managing sites and working with Wordpress, please contact us! I really need all the help I can get, or else this might take forever... :(
3) Of course, we're still slowly working on stuff. You can find out our current progress here: MangaArt Progress Board. This is something new I'm trying, just so readers can also see what we're working on. You might even be able to vote on which one you want to see next (I haven't tried the voting feature yet)! We use something else to mainly manage our work, so this will only be updated occasionally when I feel like it. As you can see, our editing queue is HUGE. We have quite a backlog of things to edit... So if you can edit, please consider joining us! Unfortunately, I don't have time to train any new editors at the moment, and Suyara, our semi-retired Editing Goddess, is rather busy too.
4) Regarding downloads... I'm hoping with the new webhost, we'll be able to fix our downloads again so that you guys can download all our works. In line with that, I'll see if I can fix my IRC fserve and get a new fserve of some sorting running on our channel... so we can finally get an archive of our releases on the channel... If anyone can set up an IRC fserve/xdcc bot on our channel to host our files, please PM immi (or any of the other !admins) in the #MangaArt@irc.IRCHighway.net channel!
Summary: We are looking for a new webhost, especially one that allows manga files (any recommendations?); a site administrator/webdesigner/Wordpress expert; more experienced editors; an IRC file host.
So yeah, lots to do... We're all pretty busy here at MA, but hopefully we can get things back on track again~ Here's to a good year for MA!

If you're still looking for hosting, FatCow.com is really cheap and easy to use. It's who I use
http://www.fatcow.com
If you decide to go with them, please say I referred you (my name is mangatips)
It also has a thing that will install wordpress for you.
Here's a link to the site I am working on if you want to take a look.

Hey Matthew, thanks for the recommendation! I will bookmark that site in case we ever need it again. Luckily one of our staff members knew someone who would be willing to host for us, so the hosting issue has been taken care of! We're actually on the new server now. :) Thanks for your help and support in any case!
That's a pretty cool site you have there. Your inking looks awesome! Hope your site will continue to grow!
