I think the Quest Database is not operating.

Wow! this is great! the QDB will be reactivated! Thanks to all those whe cooperated for reactivating it.

Glad to hear this is getting worked out.

One suggestion I have based on what I've read in a few other threads - disabling annonymous commenting on quests may be a good idea. Also, depending of how much work it would take, having an approval system for comments (or at least a way to report nasty comments) may be another good thing to keep everything clean.

Oh really really great Jayem Thanks for the help to get this done . 😃

That's because you're not being specific. Go look back at all the threads you've madce so far and you'll find the same message from me: If you're not specific, no one will be able to help you because they'll think you're talking about one thing when you're talking about another.

Yes yes yes yes yes!!

Our work finally pays off! Thanks SO MUCH, JayeM, for passing the duty, and Tygore, for taking the job! You guys are high in my eyes now! 😊

After checking the main site, I'm more than elated to see an update of the home page!

Again, thanks for reviving ZC.com!

Goal Achieved! Can't wait for the new quests to arrive. Thanks to all who participated!

Tygore and JayeM: You guys Rock!!! 😃

EDIT: Just so everyone knows, the temp DB will remain open until the actual DB that tygore is running has been updated. This will give Tygore the time he/she needs to make the updates.

Thanks to Rocksfan, the site is now actually operational instead of an abandoned base entrance with alot of people in the core. I hope we can actually see more updates and more quests of course.

I wouldn't say they are bad though. Though alot of their members have TOO high of standards much of them lean toward the graphics too much to the point of reviewing a quest on graphics before playing it.

Well, in the past 2 weeks, the site still isn't exactly operational. Sure, quests have been added to the QDB, but we cannot log in and the main page's new quest bar hasn't been updated. :/

this is because of bugs with the sites current code... these bugs may have occured while eckels had control of the site and may have been a contributing factor to him leaving. (im aware he's helping tygore)

Yes Tygore, JayeM, and Eckels are all working on getting the coding fixed.
Just need to be patient as Tygore needs to finish up the school year before he/she can work on it effectively.

Also: I cannot take full credit for getting the DB back online there were others involved.

I've been aware of Tygore's finals, so I can be patient for a few weeks/months/millenia. 😊 I didn't know Eckels is helping Tygore and JayeM's attempts to fix the code. I'm kind of surprised someone finally contacted him after the past month. :clap:

He was actually in the General Discussion thread last week.
Posted pics of his one year old son. He's cute.
So yeah, he is.

I don't know about the bugs having anything to do with him leaving or not, but I do know there was pretty much no site at all before he put the one that is there now up, it was just a page that hadn't been updated for years and no quest database, so my hat is off to Eckels for all the time and work he put in to what is there now.

Good point. Though he left, without his work, we may not have these two excellent programs. Or maybe we would, but just version 1.42 or something. 😉

I heard from Tygore today. It turns out that Eckels hasn't heard of the issue yet, but Tygore is going to try and drop him a line.

I don't know about you guys but, there hasn't been any additions or updates to the DB lately. I know I've asked Tygore to update a few of my quests and I also know that HOD was submitted but neither has been done yet.
Just curious if you're still looking into the DB submissions occassionally, Tygore.

Whoops, didn't notice your posts. Anyway, I frequently check back at ZC and I too have noticed no updates. He said he had finals and he would continue fixing the site after, but school has been out for a few days (at least in northeast Ohio). We can only wait. :shrug:

Ah, that's awesome! I'm glad the site is alive again. 😉

Ah, that is welcomed news to hear. I hope the site will [at last!] be as normal as it should be. Maybe not as sugar-coated as Pure ZC, but at least not abandoned. 😉

Not abandoned. Just slow. It takes time to fix lots of bugs.

Edit: The voting part of the QDB has apparently been restored. However, the comments part doesn't work now.
So, something is happening. There is a user in charge of handling this issue that War Lord has hired. If you look up the leaders list The person is an admin and their perpose is fixing the QDB. As per their custom title.
Find the list here: http://www.armageddongames.net/showgroups.php
just thought I would share it with all who is concerned.

I meant "abandoned" as it was since 6 months ago: nobody at all being in charge of it. But that has been changed and progress is being done to fix it. 😊

I hate to dig this up again but....Is Tygore even running the Quest Database anymore or has Mythotical asked him not to because he is working on it. Either way, what's the deal?
It's gone dead again.

Yeah I noticed HOD is submitted but you can't see it in "the most recent update list":shrug:
