With the growning demand of our websites as a whole, we have upgraded our primary server to a much powerfull server. In the next few days as it comes online, we will be working on the kinks in the system. Please report any errors to this post or the indivual site.
Thank you.
The database is fine, apache has now crashed. We are working as fast as we can to get it back up and running.
Update: 10:37am: It’s back up and working. All sites and domains.
Ladies and Gentlemen
Tonight our very own Joe B. was a special guest on SyFy Radio. The show started at 10pm EST and you can click here to listen to the show. You can call into future shows by dialing (646) 200-3642.
You can also catch the archives via iTunes (search for “SyFy Radio”) and via BlogTalkRadio’s own archives!
Then head over to Joe on SyFy Radio April 23rd! on Battlestar Forum to discuss Joe’s appearance.
The survey on Battlestar Wiki, which ran from Monday, 18 February 2008 to Monday, 7 April 2008, has now ended. It has resulted in well over 1,000 respondents, which greatly surpasses even our highest expectations!
We are currently running through the results and will be contacting the contest winners by the end of Friday, 11 April 2008.
To recap, the prizes that will be drawn are as follows:
Winners will be picked randomly. Results will be posted as soon as we have confirmation that the random winners have chosen their prizes (product vs. gift certificate), and that the recipient’s contact information is validated.
Please direct any questions to Joe Beaudoin Jr. here. Thank you for your participation and for helping us immensely with your feedback!
Also, you don’t have to wait for surveys like this to send us your feedback… Check out our contact page and find out how you can send us your thoughts, suggestions, questions, and even help us point our issues or opportunities with our content.
Woopra (http://www.woopra.com/), a live stats tracking software, and FrakMedia! site, Battlestar Forum, have teamed up to create a plugin in preparation for Woopra’s massive launch of stat tracking for all. Currently only running on the Battlestar Forum, it will soon be integrated on all FrakMedia! websites.
Unlike Quantcast, which complies data after a certain amount of time, Woopra collects and crunches the vists in real time. Using the downloadable Java application or via the web based interface, we can track how people visit the site and need improvement on how to get to a site and collect more graphically data on where I users come from.
Again, the polices of FrakMedia have not changed. Usernames and Email address are collected when you visit any one of the sites, so there is no need to update the privacy policy at this time. There is a feature were we can start “javascript” based chats with visitors if we have questions. You would see those in the bottom right hand of your screen. You can visit our Woopra page here to learn more about our polices on this subject.
Check out the Woopra site for more features to see which type of information is collected. Any other questions should be directed to me regarding the collection of the data used.
Welcome Jon to the FrakMedia! Team!
He is going to be our Public Relations Coordinator (pr AT frakmedia DOT net) answering any emails and doing most of the point-to-point contact with other sites that FrakMedia! Productions has contacts with and all the sites that we host also. This allows everything under this “catch all title” to focus energy on dealing with questions and allows a single person (instead of the three of us that been preforming the job in the interim) to do the job. This allows us to have a clear and dedicated voice.
Interested in joining the team? Check out the jobs page here.
Jon’s other adventures include running a Boston, Mass gaming forum, called “CWF Gamecast” (http://wargamingforums.com/) which has a strong user base in that area.
As a personal friend and classmate from college, Jon is a good addition to the team and allows us better communication to you! Again, congrats Jon on the appointment!
Some sites have experienced some downtime during these late hours at night. Please be assured we are doing everything in our power to get them back online. We will post an update once they are all operational.
Update: All sites are now active again. Thanks for waiting!
We have implemented a program to where if your activities on any one of our websites that we run, require an email address with the “site domain name” in it, we will grant it based on the application you send to us. Send an email to our main email address.
Our site, BattlestarPegasus.com, has several scripts from the original Battlestar Galactica and its oft-scorned spin-off, Galactica 1980, available for view and download.
Check them out by going here.
After a few nights of restless sleep and a couple of slices of pizza, I would like to unveil another new style on the Battlestar Forum — for your iPhone or iTouch. Select this style from the choices when your browsing at the bottom left or save it as your preference when you visit your UserCP, User Options. However, I would like to note that only the simple viewing, replying, searching are available. I would urge you to only use the iPhone style for temporary viewing. All the other options and pages will show up in time.
