However, there's something new. People who have followed the site know that this is the 3rd formats we went through since the site started.
The first one was a plain HTML where everything was static and had to manually be updated in notepad or any basic HTML editor.
The second one was made in PHP with a database backend in order to simplify the update, sorting and categorization.
The third, and current one, now use Java on Tomcat with a database backend for a more persisted format and a more interactive service.
Some of the features were removed or added from one version to another. And the nostalgic were wondering what happened to those feature and the other site.
Well, after getting a few demands about the old site and the old gallery, and since everything back then was all static, I decided to code a small servlet that would feed a website from a big ZIP archive. And thus, Shadowlord 1.0, which I branded "Legacy", with its 62709 files, fita in a 800Mb zip file.
The nostalgic and those wanting to see what the site looked back between 1999 and 2003 can now access it at [link]
It contain some old stuff that is now long gone and were first hosted on Shadowlord back then.
Enjoy and feedback is appreciated. [link]
======================================
On something not related about the site, Furfright is getting close and I'm short in time. This year, dues to work schedule and summer plan changes, I ended up not having time to do a proper room and roommate search for Fur Fright. With less than 3 months left, I need to secure something.
So I'm looking for someone with a room who is willing to accept a (or an extra) roommate. Preferably, someone that knows or heard of me, as I'm not too found of staying with total strangers. I heard too many horror stories about those. Of course, I would be splitting the costs. And of course, that person need to be certain he/she will attend the con.
If you are the person I'm looking for, let me know. This sort of will determine if I'll go this year or not, as I need to reserve my vacations slots. And due to the hunt timing, I'll have to take another 3 weeks off again this year!
