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.
yes im wanting to know aswell... its been months i think till they added a new quest. (updates are not counted)
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... 😞
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.
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.
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.
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.

I think we all care but nobody knows who to contact about it
Think this is the most not moderated part of AGN :shrug:
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.
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. 🙄
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.
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.
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 🙄 ), 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. 🙄
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.🙄
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 .
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.
okidoki I just send you a pm
I can help, I'll make as much noise as I can.
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.
😊 we have to do this "noise thing" the right way we wouldn't end up as the banned group 😉
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.

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!
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?
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 ?
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.
You have this one
http://www.armageddongames.net/showpost.php?p=1026770&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 😉
