Snakeman decided, Forums

Snakeman’s finally been agreed upon. Klashcom’s got the job. Thanks to all who applied. It was actually a pretty close call, however I feel the need to impart some information. When sending in an application for anything, please put what you’re good it. Skills, hobbies, that sorta stuff. Y’know …. so you stand out a little more. Personality’s great, but sometimes skill can get you somewhere too.

And now the forums. Megaman United has merged with the Ultimate Megaman forums. Why? Several whys. Mostly because Sigmah got tired of fixing the three forums on his server, so he merged MMU with UMMF so he’d only have to fix two. What does that mean for YOU? Well, you’ll have to re-register your account. Yeah, that’s a bitch, but that’s really the worst part. Don’t be a lazy bastard – reregister! It’s not hard. And if you belong to a team, post in the proper thread so I can give you a custom title and access to the private forums. Any changes in policy from MMU? No, not really. Team leaders get to be a mod, not an admin, that’s the large and small of it. Oh, and all the bans from MMU are still valid. Yes that means you Kwickman (don’t e-mail me, it’ll only make things worse). While there be sue to check out the glitches forum. VERY IMPORTANT info about the glitches is posted there. No, Sigmah has not gotten rid of them, we still have to be careful.

And that’s it. Yes, this update was nothing but announcements, but you got the mini-comic a few days ago so ….. yeah.

Snakeman, forum, Online Mini-Comic

Okay, allot of business to go through this update. First off, the Snakeman opening. You know, with the last opening (Magnetman and Sparkman), I got so few responses I was beginning to question my popularity, however since opening the Snake position I got a landslide of applicants. Go figure. However, during this I have learned one important thing: if you do not ask people to say what they’re good at, they will not put it in their application. Here, I just sorta assumed people would do that. Well, you know what they say about assumptions! That said, we’re not accepting anymore applications. We’ll let everyone know who got the position soon.

Next business: the forum. When I got back from vacation, I got a nasty surprise: the forum was gone! Y’see Sigmah, our host, has a bunch of server troubles that he cannot fix himself. He’s already doing temporary fixes at MVN and UMMF, but he can’t temp. fix MMU because of the high traffic. SO, in the meantime we’re stuck! I might set up some temporary forums until his server troubles are fixed, but until then the forums’ down.

And now some good news! Our new Hardman has set up an online mini-comic! Look for the link in the right frame. They’re actually funny, so head over for a look-see.

Now, don’t let the lack of content updates fool you, we’re very busy here at the MM3 team. One project includes new Series 4 epilogues! Ooooo, betcher excited now! What, did you think that little setback at the end of Series 3 would actually stop us? *pheh*

Epilogue, Guides, Forum

We’re back with more stuff. Because of some server things, Geocities and most MM teams are down. Also down is the roms section. But it should be fixed soon.

A new epilogue is up continuing Geminiman’s search for his past. “Run in at N. Sanity beach”.

I’ve also decided that, since we have more space now, I can finally do the entries in the Character Shrines correctly! I’ve also decided to move all those entries to the guides section, since they are more like opinion pieces. So, go to the guides section to check out entries on Galvatron, Bizarro Yellow Lantern and Power Ring! The rest should be done relatively soon.

Also, major forum revisions! It’s now “Megaman United”. Most of the MM team forums are somewhat …. inactive no matter how successful our pages may be. So now, instead of having several so-so forums, we have combined into one grant forum!

Well, that’s about it for this week. There’s allot I’d like to do now that I have the space for it. Ah, once again I gotta thank ZXP for the space!

Stuff you won’t care about.

Gauntlet’s busy – again. So I didn’t do a big update this week.

I redid the epilogues page with the standard layout. Been meaning to do that for some time now. No new epilogues have been put up. Never fear, though. I know there must be SOME people who miss my zany writing, so if you do, feel free to check out the Sinister Six’s site. I wrote a new epilogue for THEM for our “crossover” (along with the X-Force) called “The Ol’ Switcheroo”! Definitely something original, you should go over there and check it out.

I’ve also merged what was in the art forum into the main forum. Seeing as no artists show off in the art forum anyway, it seemed like the thing to do. Be a good soul and post in the forum to comment on various things. And do be sure to check out the guestbook as well.

Meanwhile, over in the scary world known as Gauntlet’s life startling, and yet majority boring, changes occur. Things are due and Gauntlet procrastinates still. It’s almost like a Dragonball Z episode the way I manage to drag things on. Meanwhile my sister incessantly works on her Halloween costume making it as fanatically accurate as possible. With the notable exception of the shoes. Why make everything BUT the shoes accurate is beyond me, however she went nuts over the shoes and bought them instead of the accurate ones. They were also cheaper.

I might add something sometime during the week. I have a guide that’s almost done. And a few other things I could write about. If you haven’t guessed, I tend to rant on without pause.

Ass hole, misce., links, guestbook

Well, it’s been a bit, hasn’t it? I’ve been busy lately. Still am, actually. Progress is slowing, but it hasn’t stopped.

First up, a new ass hole. This one actually wrote something almost intelligent, and thus I respond. We get too many idiots trying to flame us, it’s more work to actually respond to that nonesense.

I’ve updated the team links a little. The Homestead teams don’t look like their coming back any time soon, so I’ve moved them to the former teams section. Pharoah says he’s gonna revive the MMX3 team, but until it actually happs, it’s gonna stay put on my former team section.

I’ve added a “retro” version of the site in the mice. section. Basically, it’s how I think the site might’ve been in 1996. If you weren’t into these MM pages back then, you might not know that things were subtly different. I even found a sprite of Pixelboy!

The Roms were hosted on Homestead. The roms are now blocked by Homestead. The roms section does not work. I dunno whether it’d be worth my time to redo that section. It gets PLENTY of hits, but I dunno if it’s worth the trouble of reopening it. If you want the roms section active, e-mail me or post something in the forum. Otherwise, I won’t bother with it.

Speaking of forums, I’ve finally figues out what was wrong with the Senac one and have taken control of it. I’ve erased posts and issued bans to the appropriate parties. I’ve made it match the rest of the page as well.

The guestbook has gotten pretty damn full and so I move onward to another. Unfortunately the one I signed up for is very, very slow, so I might not use it. I’ll let you know when I’ve decided on a new one.

You might be wondering whether I’ve forgot about the epilogues. I haven’t, actually. My staff and I are actually working on them as we speak. We have quite a few done, but none are going to be posted until we have enough to satisfy me.

I’d also like to announce I came in second in Sigmah’s Ultimate Fan Art Contest (also known as UFAC). Hooray for me! My entries wil be posted …… eventually.
