What up - by Jon

Droidz awards has finish and I would like to announce the winners here. I've been meaning to get around to this for awhile now. I will also be adding ranks to people (besides the mods, unless they ask for them). The rank is going to be the same for everyone who won an award, for a couple of reasons, one being my laziness.

Check out berts new site gravitycake.com ITS TAKING OVER.
Anyway, new forum sections in general include Intros/Goodbyes, now more than one thread. So you can just post your own threads and people can comment on it. Also added was videogames and forum games, pretty self explanatory.
In other news, the DD forums collab is doing sign ups. Check it out here.

Thanks - by Jon

Almost two months ago droidz lost every stk we had. We used to have about 1000. In just this short amount of time we have regained 600+. A HUGE thanks is due. So thanks goes out to everyone who has been donating, you rock.
So yah, I'm gonna remove the 'help re-build' from the header as we have already re-built so much. It's time to just look forward and build upon what is already here. Though feel free to still re-submit your old accepted donations.
In other news, yes, the new server is up and running, thanks to Adam + about 20 Pepsi's. :P It should be smooth sailing from here on out regarding that.
Unfortunately we lost two moderators recently (officially), EB and Matt James. They came in together and I guess it's fitting that they left together. I would just like to thank them for their time on the staff, you guys are awesome.
peace
Server Migration (change) - by DarkDemon

A server change will occur soon the exact date / time shall be posted here. During this time droidz & networking sites shall be unavailable.
Depending on how often your ISP updates their DNS records will depend on how long the site will be down for due to nameserver IP change.

Submit your *own* sticks - by Jon
4/15/08
Please do not submit old sticks from other people. I appreciate people trying to help, but this is not courteous to the original author.
thanks
False Pretenses - by Jon
4/14/08
If one of your stks t hat was previously on the site has been submitted by another, please flag the stick and resubmit it under your own name. I'm trying to decline the stks in the first place, but my memory is not perfect.
Sorry for any trouble. And thanks everyone for the donations. Its incredible how many dons iv gotton in the past three days.
Re-Build - by Jon
4/12/08
A sad day indeed. Quoted from darkdemon.org
//Darkdemon wrote
Droidz's database and files have been flushed out due to a bad transition when we tried to convert some types and db[database] items. Due to no backups we couldnt restore anything other than the DB.
I've spent today recoding several backend scripts which power droidz, please submit your stks over at droidz to rebuild the database.
http://droidz.org/donate.php
- Cheers//
In short, we lost all the sticks on the site. I urge you to donate your stks! Especially if its a stick that was already accepted to the site. We tried everything to save them. However, I lacked I hard backup to restore the stk/img files.
Its a tough learning experience, and it will never happen again, I assure you. I myself am donating all my sticks that were up before this incident, aswell as a few extras, and will continue to do so in the coming days. I will be checking the dons frequently, pretty much whenever I'm on the computer to ensure the site gets back to normal as soon as possible.
In lighter news, we have added new sections to the sticks themselves. In total they now include; Stickmen, Stick Packs, Vehicles, Weapons, Objects, Random, Effects, and Backgrounds. Also added was a email notification for donators who want to be emailed the status of their stk. This is completely optional for those of you who want to know if their stick is on the site, without having to search for it.
Again, I urge you to donate and donate often. We need it. Thanks to everyone who supports droidz. You all rock.
Edit - Keep in mind, the standards have no been lowered. I will decline sticks that do not live up to them. Otherwise that would betray the main point of this site; a place to find quality stks for pivot.
