I think the Quest Database is not operating.
I don't think that anyone is in charge of the Quest Database.
After talking to many people, it has come to my attention that no one is assigned to the database update. If you try to contact eckels, he is not around.
Maybe a moderator could answer this dilema. I'm sure the ZCer's would like to see some new additions to the database as well as the quest makers, like myself, are waiting for their quests to be uploaded.
It would be nice to know.

Re: I think the Quest Database is not operating.
yes im wanting to know aswell... its been months i think till they added a new quest. (updates are not counted)
-
Re: I think the Quest Database is not operating.
Ah, the zeldaclassic.com's quest database...
It's a shame that ZC's "main site" is so poorly run. :(
It's not updated in ages, it doesn't look that good... heck, it seems like you cannot even log in there anymore and comment/rate quests. Sheesh...

Yup, no new quests in months, It says that I already rated the quest but I haven't, no new announcements in AGES, uhhh...
I haven't seen Eckels in a while... So no one is in charge of the QDB... :(

Re: I think the Quest Database is not operating.
If you check Eckels profile, it says hes gone for a long time. And I have posted a thread related to the voting and commenting on quests. Almost seems like nobody cares.
BTW, it's been like that since the upgrade to AGN. Right along with the IE quick reply bug.
-
Re: I think the Quest Database is not operating.
I think the reason it seems like nobody cares about the quest database is because they either host their quests on their own sites, or they just submit them to PZC instead.
-
Re: I think the Quest Database is not operating.
And I think people have already submited quests to the QDB, but they don't show up in the site, the most recient quest is still Zelda-TWEAKED, which was released a few months ago.
-
Re: I think the Quest Database is not operating.
I did a little browsing, and I've noticed that his last activity was back in early December. Since Eckels hasn't been around, who exactly is in charge of the ZC page untill he comes back?

That's what I'm gonna end up doing unless there is an answer to this question of who is in charge. I know JayeM used to be, but he isn't anymore and he doesn't know who, if anybody, is now.
I would really like to post my newest creation Here! But if I have to, I will post it there. And start a thread directed to that link.

Nobody knows. And who knows when Eckels will return.
-
Re: I think the Quest Database is not operating.
I think we all care but nobody knows who to contact about it
Think this is the most not moderated part of AGN :shrug:
-
Re: I think the Quest Database is not operating.
I resigned quite some time ago, mostly because I was sick of having to sort through all the fake or faulty submissions: 10-20 of them for every real submission. I informed Eckels and it seems he hasn't bothered to replace me. I suggest talking to Shadowblazer or WarLord.

I have contacted Warlard but haven't heard anything yet. Hopefully I will soon.
I can imagine how that can get annoying very quickly JayeM. I don't blame you.

Re: I think the Quest Database is not operating.
I'm bumping this because this is a serious... problem. A month later since the last reply, and still nothing. Perhaps some new people should take charge of the site and quest submission database. It would be great to finally have things up and running again (like it was prior to December).
However, a month of nothing. 4 months of no quest updates. Over a year since the last home page update. I have a quest that is almost ready to be submitted, and for whatever reason, I can't log in at PureZC. Of course, neither can anybody at ZC.com. After all, this is the site that started it all. Someone should be contacted to either fix the site (the log-in and QDB) or hand the power to someone else, or, preferably, 2 or 3 people. Checks and balances. Great stuff. :rolleyes:
I would like to contact someone, but I really don't know who. Perhaps someone else could step up and try to fix this. Maybe, and I just thought of this, the guys at PureZC could help us out. The sites probably run about the same. About. Any recent attempt to do ANY of this would be excellent.
-
Re: I think the Quest Database is not operating.
The problem with the PureZC people is they are 90% kids. Not exactly what the AGN Elite would like to have running this site.
I have asked Warlord and haven't heard a thing. Maybe if a good majority of the users of this site got together and asked the right people all at once, they might notice.
The other person that was suggested was Shadowblazer. I haven't contacted Shadow yet, but am thinking about it.
With Eckels out though, who do you really turn to? This site has really gone down since the upgrade at the end of December and very little has been fixed, which includes one of things that makes this site great, The Custom Quest Database. Yes you can use PureZC. But that defeats the purpose.
I'm out of ideas, but would love to gather as much help in getting this fixed. Let me know if would like to help by posting it here! Maybe together, as a group, we can get this working again.

Re: I think the Quest Database is not operating.
Well... I just emailed eckels... Maybe he will respond to my message. I'll try to keep this thread running so people will notice it. I bet you didn't even know that I am, in fact, only 14 years old (okay, I'll be 15 in 16 days :rolleyes: ), and I am trying to get the site running. Though 90% may be kids at PureZC, some ZC kids might be a little more willing. ;) ;)
I'll contact Shadowblazer and Warlord probably tomorrow. I'll get them to notice me. *evil chuckle* ... Yeah. :rolleyes:
-
Re: I think the Quest Database is not operating.
Also, don't forget the quest comments.
I want to see Zelda Classic main site back, I hate to think that many quests have been submited and yet they haven't been uploaded to zc.com, the comments, we can't rate quests anymore... :mad2:
There should be more activity in the forums if the site is back.

I've already tried Eckels. He doesn't reply to e-mails. But that is why PureZC is so updated. Because of the youth. I had suggested that we should look into getting some of them to help with AGN as well.
I never heard anything from Warlord, might want to hunt down all the admins and see if we can turn some heads eh?
I've been posting all over about the issues with the quests and comments and site updates. I get replies from plenty that would love to see the change, but nothing has come of it yet. Guess I'll just keep drilling it into people's brains.:rolleyes:
-
Re: I think the Quest Database is not operating.
I think anybody that can do anything about this doesn't read this thread :shrug:
There are 4 administrators maybe someone has to send them an email and send a link to this thread along with it .
So they can see it's becoming a real problem .
-
Re: I think the Quest Database is not operating.
Can you help us out here then elise? You take 2 and I'll take 2. I only know of Warlord and ShadowBlazer.
I agree. It will only get worse.
Firefly, and Pinconn can you help as well? The more noise, the better.
-
Re: I think the Quest Database is not operating.
okidoki I just send you a pm
-
Re: I think the Quest Database is not operating.
I can help, I'll make as much noise as I can.
-
Re: I think the Quest Database is not operating.
I just cross linked this thread with the one in general discussion about Quest Comments.
Maybe it'll draw some eyes over to this topic as well.
-
Re: I think the Quest Database is not operating.
:) we have to do this "noise thing" the right way we wouldn't end up as the banned group ;)
-
Re: I think the Quest Database is not operating.
i know it seems like a good idea trying to get ahold of people, and i am all for that, but i think your are fighting a losing battle. none of the admins are really around anymore, and the mods here dont have any privs at the zc site.
i do agree with you that while it is amazingly sleek, it is very poorly run in terms of anyone actually being in charge. maybe one of the devs for ZC will see these kinds of threads (hell, even the mods can), and bring it up in the forum staff.
all i know is that there are some amazing quests out there, but they dont get an form of publication except for uploading it to a geocities account and advertising in a zc forum. yay?

Even that would help! Never the less, I will try.

Definately! We must not be obscene. Only noisy enough to turn the right heads and gain as much support for this cause as we can.
No need to try and get banned. Be nice and ask for attention. Eventually, we will become a mosquito in their ears that will have to swat!
Firefly sent you a pm.
Thanks for all the help!

Re: I think the Quest Database is not operating.
May be we can also make a thread where everybody can post the link to theire quest and ask Jman2050 or Darkflamewolf to make it a sticky one.
For the time that the database is still down

Hey! That's not a bad idea!:thumbsup:
Let's do that until it's fixed. Can you start that thread Elise?
-
Re: I think the Quest Database is not operating.
I can but wouldn't it be more logic if a questmaker makes that one .
He or she can also put in the first link :)
Jman2050 if you read this can you sticky the thread for us , If we make it ?
-
Re: I think the Quest Database is not operating.
I could, but my latest work hasn't been finished beta tested yet. Maybe someone else?
BTW: I just sent a very nice e-mail to the 3 active admins. Hopefully we'll hear something back. Keep 'em crossed.
-
Re: I think the Quest Database is not operating.
You have this one
http://www.armageddongames.net/showp...70&postcount=1 ;)
I think it must be explained clear that it's only for the link and some screenshots and only full quests no Demo's
no responding , no questions .
something like that so it stays clean ;)
-
Re: I think the Quest Database is not operating.
Ok. I think I did the same for Zelda's Quest too. It's worth a try.
But isn't this thread the same thing?: http://www.armageddongames.net/showthread.php?t=64777
Anyone else?
-
Re: I think the Quest Database is not operating.
We also need to PM Jman2005 if he can sticky it , has anyone already did that or who is gonna do that . No need to send 10 pm's to him.
I don't mind doing it if nobody did it .
-
Re: I think the Quest Database is not operating.
I PM'd him to take a look here. But you probably can to be more descriptive.

Re: I think the Quest Database is not operating.
make a sticky thread for posting a link and pics of your quest... do not allow anything but that in the thread... everything else can be discussed in there own threads.

Re: I think the Quest Database is not operating.
Ah, it's good to see I restarted the commotion to revamp ZC.com. :clap: I have a feeling an admin will finally recognize our attempt to bring ZC.com back to its former glory. Tomorrow (it's 9:58 P.M. where I'm at), I'll send the admins a notice or whatnot to try to fix this, or bring a more dedicated member (or 2 or 3) to power. :)
This feels and probably sounds ultra-corny, but I vow to get ZC.com up and running. Get some new people to run it. Luckily, summer vacation is around the corner (okay, another month :rolleyes: ), so we youngins can do it.
EDIT: (Yeah, that's corny all right.)
I may be young, but I've revamped a website, Zanime. It got active for awhile, but, due to lack of partipation, I had to close it. Lack of incentive to come back (it was a message board). Too bad.
-
Re: I think the Quest Database is not operating.
Very good Pineconn. Send it to 'em. I think we can all agree with you when we say we are going to get AGN running again.
I've already sent some e-mails to admins, maybe some PM's could add to it. Like I said earlier, get a mosquito buzzing in their ear they'll have to swat.
Tomorrow we intend to start a new sticky, or at least try to get a sticky, to solve the current condition until it's running again.

Lol, that's a nice metaphor. ;)
Well, I sent an e-mail to the "forum administator" / "webmaster," so maybe I'll get a response from this. It's at the very bottom of the forums, called Contact Us. Maybe some others could use that feature.

Great idea. Is it possible for regular members to post in the Official Announcements forum? That would create excellent disturbance and bring much needed attention.
EDIT: Nope. I didn't try, but could we even post a reply to a non-locked thread in there? Even if it would be "in the wrong thread," an admin will notice the message.

The only difficult thing is with keeping it clean , there is never a mod around :rolleyes:
and I don't mean Jman2050 with this ( he is busy enough )I mean a real Zelda mod we have Vel , Darkflamewolf and Cloral
