Title: What's up with the countdown?
Post by: Kyokun on July 12, 2007, 09:43:27 AM
I keep checking back here for Fanime 2008, but the countdown keeps resetting itself.  Like, I actually stayed up until midnight of the 9th or whatever, so I could see it, but nothing happened, and the countdown was at 999 again.  And then a couple days ago, it was counting down from 2 days, but now it's back at 999.  It's rather annoying, since I start to anticipate new things, only to be disappointed again.  Is there going to be a new site soon, or what?

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing myself. I don't mind waiting around for a new site, but you're kinda just broadcasting inefficiency by continually resetting it and getting people's hopes up, only to not follow through. I'd almost rather the little countdown weren't there, rather than have it be useless.

Hehe, so I'm not the only one watching that counter carefully! I stayed up a few nights ago to wait for the launch, as well.

I was disappointed, but I don't mind waiting all so much. I can't wait to see the layout and what the '08 website has in store, and I figured the webmaster(s) ran into some difficulties.

**Crosses fingers hoping the site gets uploaded soon**  I'm really looking forward to seeing how it's going to look.

Possibilities are that either there's a new logo for Fanime, new mascots and theme, different dates, different venues....or none of the above. ^_^ Wouldn't know until that update is finished.

I can name a couple of people for which the Fanime site is their homepage.

I try to check the forums everyday or every other day to keep up with what's going on with everyone.

At least we CAN get into the forums.  Got back from SacAnime and wanted to post on their forums but the site's not available right now (what's up with that, Bart-Boy?).  Just a link for Sac-Con in September.

also, maybe you should just save yourself some trouble and set the countdown to go to Fanime itself rather than to when the new site launches?

I WOULD LIKE TO STATE, FOR THE RECORD -

I'm am in the hospital right now, admitted with being in the ER all day, with my laptop, with a line snagged from the phone on a dial up connection WORKING ON THE WEBSITE.

The website will be online at midnight tonight!

Unless I die.. Or they take the laptop away from me...

*squeals* I agree, it sounds like your situation is more serious, LadyKaren. Your health > getting a website up. Please take care of yourself, and thank you very much for your very hard and dedicated work!

30 minutes remaining and I'm on schedule. And what else am I going to do in a hospital? Rest? I did that in the ER. :P

I loves the hospital, they made me sit around and do test for 12 hours before they finally said what I had been saying all day in pain... "My apendix is going to blow" but in the end it worked out and they're nice people. The best to Karen and good luck on the page, I know it'll look great.

Nuuu, you're not supposed to die after the launch, Webmistress! *fans*

Though while you're here but a bit unconscious, I must say I love the rotating NPCs/characters on the layout!

Edit // Fixed a typo. Got too excited ^^;
