About recent accident and future plans

Hey, guys.

In case some of you haven't heard, yes, our new site Pantalea experienced few problems lately. We were hacked before, then due to an accident I deleted the site and couldn't be restored because of some errors. In general, our efforts so far are just gone. I can't express how guilty I feel and that I tried to fix it but nothing would work.

Now the question is simple: what should we do now? Do we want to re-build the site again, taking what's left from this old forum ASH? Or should we just stop and use this place instead? Or just close down all (Pantalea and ASH, I mean) and forget about it? Feel free to drop your opinion here, just watch it so that you don't sound offensive or start bashing. I appreciate all input~

I don't want this place to close or be forgotten. I love it here and I really enjoy talking to everyone here. :3 I think we should totally use this one since it still has the majority of our threads already so it would be easy to pick up where we left off.

Hi.

Just read the email.

So your host did not have a recent backup? Does the host take backups?

I agree with Kyoki!

I agree to Kyoki too. I think nobody of us couldn't forget it. At the beginning we was a big family, but we are the same now, right? We'll never abandon you, phio, and we'll never forget this our little world.

I agree with Kyoki.

Don't feel guilty Phio! It can happen to anyone, and, see, no one is mad at you and everybody understands! *hugs*

I guess we should do as Kyoki said, at least for the moment.
And if someday we feel like it, maybe we could try to do something bigger once again!

Everybody make mistake, a lot.
Don't worry, No Biggie

I'm new around here, so please don't close it. Hell, i'm not even a family yet.

Thank you for the kind words, everyone~ That surely brings my motivation back.

Hey, Medora~ It has been a while since we last met.

I think the host did have a backup, but somehow the latest backup wouldn't work. They didn't have old backups since they switched the server.

Okay then, I will work on things at the other domain again, at least to bring the blog back. At the moment I suppose we will back to use ASH as the main forum until there is further plan decided.

So, we will keep Pantalea.com as the blog, and this will be the forum, it seems nice to me.
But we will need to work hard to organize everything. : )

waaaaa! it can't be pantalea's doing so good :[

Yes, exactly. I think I'm going to make some kind of open recruitment later for writers of the blog, to keep it fun and entertaining. I'll get back to you later once I sorted things out. ^^

Well, my mistake completely, for deleting things I shouldn't have. A good lesson.

I agree with Kyoki =)

I don't mind using this as the forum. I'm just glad that we have a place to talk about Akiko again. I don't mind if we lost the old threads either. The future is always more important, and we can always create threads about old topics if we feel like talking about them again. It's good to see you back phio.

What we can't think about is to shut down ASH and Pantalea. It would result in a great loss for all fans of Akiko

We are more important than we realize sometimes.
Just see how difficult it is to find all Shimotsuki's and Mitose's albums,lyrics and info, you have to travel to a lot of sites and sometimes, they are not even in English
Meanwhile, finding things about Akiko is always one click away with ASH/Pantalea :O

Pantalea cannot be gone. Organizing everything and adding what we lost will be tedious, but not impossible. Aquagon just needs to help add in lyrics, however I don't know about some albums that were on Mega Upload since it is gone. We may have to move our music to 4shared....

Awwwww~ I can't miss Pantalea!!! It's a family, a real family! We can't just destroy and forget about it!!!!

So we must work together to reincarnate! We must rebuild our Shikata Akiko's temple!

I also like this forum, I don't want it destroyed!
If you need any help, I'm here too \o

Don't worry about the current situation phio, it will work out somehow!

Thanks a lot, guys~ *cries happy tears*

By the way, on weekends my internet connection would be super bad that I can barely browse anything. Even loading this forum takes forever. So I might not do anything this weekend, as well as waiting for some things to get together, then next week I'll start to work on the blog again. Meanwhile feel free to browse around, add things you think are missing here, posting around, and such... Very unfortunate that we lost everything but I believe in all of you and your support.

Huge thanks! *hugs everyone*

Go Phio go!

Noooo!! Don't close pantalea or chouwa!!!

I assume the name Pantalea will be changed back to Harmonia for the blog? Or will they be named separately??

I would be happy to fix up the lyrical threads and check that all download link work.

However, looking through the lyrical hall, almost all the albums don't have their completed works there, as in only a few are there. What is more troublesome is that they are all mixed in together and not categorized by album like the last forum. Phio, unless you can separate them, or allow me to separate them for the time being, I don't want to mess around and add in lyrics for albums jumbled all over the place

As for the album links, I'll just have to check to see if all are working. Realizing this, I think we only have to add in Utsusemi, Ricordando, Kalliope, and the rest of the hymmnos tracks from Side Blue from Ar Tonelico. So, not that much to add....for me at least XD

Either way, we will have this place up and running, and I am sorry for your poor internet D:

The content can be replaced always think of the brighter side :]
We can keep ASH as the forum again

I am indeed planning to re-organize the forum, at least to bring it back to be similar to what we had back then before we lost the new forum. I've just managed to get a good internet connection, so I'll try to work on things tonight and get it done as soon as I can~ ^^

As for the naming, I actually can rename the link and the name of this board, but I suppose it would confuse you guys? At least I'm thinking to get the blog fixed first before changing them, so you have somewhere to start. Would that be okay?

This is a rather random idea from me, but let's see...
I think I noticed how it's hard to resume conversations at old threads. The gap somehow make you feel uncomfortable to start posting again. To be honest I felt that too, and I think that's proven from how those who come here only browse around and didn't really post anything (aside that the forum itself is out of date so there might not be many to talk about).

So... should we start over?

I realize that it'll be a lot to take care of... so I throw this to you first. :P

With a restart we can think of new, better organization as well, so it'll be easier to add things though again it's tons of work.

I think starting over is a good idea, it will restart the movement in the forum.

But it will have to be very organized, we don't want to loose a rare photo or destroy lyrics in the process, right?

That's fine if we just keep it Pantalea. The title is new and it symbolizes Shikata. As for the lyrics re-do, I'll let you finish up restoring whatever you need for the new forum, and let me know when you are done. As for starting over, it wouldn't necessarily be bad, but we have to make sure to bring along the interviews, pictures, and twitter messages we have from her. If we have any on the forum.

I noticed that some of you found your way to Pantalea eventually, which is great. Congratulations and welcome to the new Pantalea! In case you don't know yet, the new forum at Pantalea is back open once more! The forum is still under construction, actually, though I let it open so you can post around if you want although there's nothing much to reply to. Feel free to start over threads from before times if you want~

One thing to note, though, this afternoon I copied all members account from the old forum (ASH) to here. However, a glitch I couldn't fix happened, thus although the members accounts were transferred, their e-mail addresses are not. We would have to add it manually, which would take lots of time since we have over 100 members here. For that, let me know if you want to make new account instead, so I don't need to add your e-mail. I would simply delete your old account and you can use your newly made account here.

Let me know by sending an e-mail to pinklovegreen@hotmail.com, at ASH, or at Pantalea directly if you have registered a new account at Pantalea. Let me know your old account name, and I'll delete it. If you wish to use your old account, you can let me know too and I'll add your e-mail address so you can issue a new password to log in to the forum.

I hope I make it easy enough for you to understand~ If not, you can always ask, and you know how to find me. :P

Horse here.

Is it time to give Pantalea up?

Right, forgot I could write an update here. >__>

Whaaaaaaaaaaat? T____T

Well, this time the host is the one who has given up on me. I just read that the host is going to be sold to someone else, I suppose that is why the accounts of every site hosted there are suspended. I hope it's temporarily. I'm trying to reach the owner right now and confirm this.

My goodness, so many troubles. It is very demotivating, I should say. T_________T

Go go, phio_chan! Hang in there.

... but seriously - so many setbacks.

Thank you so much. I will do my best.

Pantalea is back up, people~ Please visit us there when you can, thank you!

What's it about this time?

late as always aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah
