Quick Update

😊

War Lord!! I missed you so much!! And it's cool that you've been too busy to work on the sites. As said before by many people, we all have lives.

By the way, [here] is a list of (currently) 50 people who yearn to have Zelda Classic and the Quest Database back up and running. 'Tis a petition I created about three days ago. It's been the talk of the forums as of late... or something. Just thought I'd give you the heads up.

We're all here War Lord. Real life always always always takes precedence over internet. 😊 <hug>

Feel free to take more time off. You won't earn any street cred hanging around here.

Nigga pleeze.

Wondered what you'd been up to. Cool, nice to know work is getting done.

Please, War Lord. Please, fix the ZC quest database.

I'm glad to see you back and all, but Prry does have a point. Life comes first and I respect that. Do we have an estimate on the time it will take for the fixes being done?

I use the term "all" loosely.

Quit relying on AGN to be the center of everything, and someone make your own database. War Lord is too incompetent to manage such a thing over a long enough term.

They've already made their own database.

Yes they have.

So would you rather have ten minor QDBs, or one huge one? I vote for ZC.com's resurrection. Why? It already has its credibility, affiliates, knowledge of existence, and members.

Which is why we should do what PureZC (or any website) does: have multiple webmasters/uploaders. Plus, Eckels was last in charge of the site when it was stable.

Not quite so sure about the credibility.......

Anyway, War Lord isn't the kind of guy to have multiple webmasters or uploaders. In my opinion, you are better off touting your own database as the definitive place to get quests.

Eh, "credibility" sounded nice when I was typing it. :tongue:

Still, ZC has a nice visual interface. It's just, y'know, broken. And it's not like War Lord has to fix it; he could just get someone with PHP skills to fix it. Skills that I unfortunately don't have.

Yes, I'm all for reviving the original. The ones that are coming around are in place because ZC.com is down. None are intended to replace it.

Believe you me, if I had PhP experience, I would offer up for fixing it in a heart beat.

Maybe this commotion will spark the change. Who knows? Only War Lord.

Plus, for some of you nay-sayers, we have been endeavoring to get the QDB fixed for about a year. And things were going well, as in we could actually log in and post comments, until a few months ago. Now we can do nothing with the QDB (except download the Top Ten quests, I think).

War Lord, the fate of the site and AGN lies in your hands!

Pineconn wrote:(except download the Top Ten quests, I think).

I think if you place " [noparse]http://www.armageddongames.net/zeldaclassic/download.php?file=xxx.zip[/noparse] " in the address bar and replace "xxx" with the quest name, you may be able to access the file. Lemme check.

EDIT: o.o Right. You can indeed access a few quests with that URL.

Yeah and there is also somebody that is making a list with the quests to get them that way ...........but that isn't the way it's meant to be:shrug:
and the list is not on that mainpage there so most people don't even ever will try it that way :shrug:
We just need the questdatabase back 😉

Absolutely. Well.... there's nothing we can do but wait. I wonder how long "shortly" is. My guess is the weekend.

Wishful thinking, Pineconn. He did mention SE first. So I would say that will come first then the ZC Quest DB.

At this point I hope the ZC Database is taken care of first before anything else is done.

Doubt it.

I'm just bouncing off of a reformat along with a lot going on at work, so I'll be taking care of SE and the various sites shortly.

Just wanted to give you all a heads up.

Well... he did mention in this link that he wanted to tackle ZC.com next. Of course, that was a few months ago. I think that ZC is much more of a well-known feature of AGN than SE is, so it would make more sense to fix ZC's site (even though I don't think there is anything wrong with SE's site, it's just inactive).

He's working on it alone and has a busy life. He set the priorities and I'm sure he will get to ZC when he has time.

😊 Hurry back War Lord.... We all misssssss you

Unfortunately, Zeldaclassic.com's database is the only Database I know of where you can download pLeitorian's quests. same goes for other dissapearing makers, like Germis.

And mine. 😉

Yeah, so as long as the QDB gets back up at one point in time, I'd be a happy camper. But still, this is un poco ridiculous. If you don't want to fix the site, get someone else to.

Starting to get a little demanding aren't we? It's one person taking on the whole site. The fact that AGN is still standing after god knows how many years is something. WL taking it on by him self is something else.

Why not find another way to share quests with one another in the meantime? E-mail maybe?

Yes we are. And I appreciate what War Lord has done to make AGN a very nice place. I just figured it would be in everybody's best interest that the QDB would be restored. Ever since the site has been down, traffic to AGN has diminished.
