All of you should have noticed we have a new domain name. rmxpunlimited.net will be the official domain name for RMXP Unlimited.
When the forum was restored from Noob Saibot, every link in the forum was altered so it would automatically work with a new domain. That means every link forum descriptions, the menus, rank images etc. would all work without me editing anything.
The old domain rmxp.trap17.com still works, so we will not loose any traffic because of this change. But the links in almost of the posts will goto the wrong place. I queried that database for all our past domains(there were about six I searched for) and replaced all of them with rmxpunlimited.net. Now this should make almost every link work, though I am not sure. If anyone finds a link that is not working as it should, report the post. I would like to fix up all the links and make sure they all work with the new domain, although most should already.
I noticed a few members have links in their signatures. Please change the rmxp.trap17 links to rmxpunlimited.net. Although they will still work, there will be problems with cookies, and the wrong domain anyway, so make sure they goto the right place.
Also dont forget to update your bookmarks. And if you dont have us bookmarked, dont forget to bookmark us.  |

Just as a warning to everyone, the rules have been changed. Please click the "Rules and Policies" link at the top of the forum to read them. I will make note: Ignorance of not knowing a rule will NOT be an acceptable reason for an infraction of a rule. The rules are posted, we expect you to read them BEFORE you post. Thank you, that's all I really had to say. |

The forum has been down for the past couple of days. The error is completely unknown to me, but I'm sure it's host related. Many sites on our host went down, although came back up. We were left with a broken database. I think at least half of the data in the database was deleted or lost. The most recent backup, apparently had a virus attached to it, so i was unable to download it. I did have recent backups stored but I deleted them(another host related issue even though it was me who deleted them). I get backups everyday so the most recent available was from February 2nd(My time, a few of you will probably see Feb 1st), so we lost maybe a days data. I also deleted the front page(database + files) because I was in a rush to fix this issue as I had limited time to do it, as I had my first day of school today, so it took me longer than expected to fix this problem. I can fix the front page as I have everything backed up, but its kinda useless. You'll just get re-directed here from now on.
Sorry if members have lost data, and if anything is wrong on the forums, please report it and I'll try and fix it up. Oh, and I deleted all the Arcade games too, but I backed up those also. Your scores should be there still once i upload them again. |

RMXP Unlimited has been restored once more. I cant even remember how many times we have had to make these kind of posts. We are now not associated with Noob Saibot, who has given up on the forum, understandably. The activeness had dropped considerably. We must apologize for the inconsistency of the forum, with it constantly being down, and the URL constantly changing. It is no surprise that we are down to as few active members as we are. With that said, I expect all this to change.
The forums have been updated, as well as a cleared database of all unessential data and modifications. I hope to restore most of these modifications however, a long with a few others. The skin has had a major update. The forum can be moved anywhere and every thing would work perfectly. This has absolutely no effect on the members, but it makes the forum a lot easy to manage. A lot of the Menu links do not work, as this is a fresh installation of IPB. But the essentials are there.
With the old url not working, we can not direct any traffic here, or from google, so this is pretty much a complete restart of the forums. But its not as bad as it sounds. Our most active members are here, and we can only grow from here. There is a lot to look forward to. I have come back as Admin, and will work alongside SCMike on RMXP Unlimited. All other staff positions have been removed, as they are inactive. All past staff can PM me or SCMike if they would like there old staff position back.
I have some new plans for the future of the forum, including a new name and RPG Maker VX section. The new name is due to the release of RPG Maker VX. With RMXP being associated with RPG Maker XP, it may to change to something similar to RM Unlimited, as we will expand to more than one RPG Maker. These are just a few things to look forward to, for the rest you will have to wait.
I will be away with exams, and I expect SCMike to busy for a while. So not much is going to happen for a while. I expect some new changes to take effect in December, but nothing until then. It will take a while to restore activeness, so bare with us while we do our best. Feel free to post any suggestions and welcome back. |
