New Server!

oh now i see why i was getting 404 error xD. well new server is always good, hope SP keep doing the good job.

and Isaac i wish all of good for you, you will always be a kind of legend on the maple world, i trasnlated some of your guides to Brazilian portuguese over the past years. i will miss the maple story you used to write =[

Likely not.

I'm sure I know what you're worried about - the topic that you made before. Since there was no way you could have known this was going to happen, I backed up your topic.

Thank you. I usually never back up anything I post.

Anyway why is the funhouse, angry dome, etc and some several threads gone?
And one of my friends in my list not there?

The site move was done with a slightly older backup.

Wasn't really planning to do this now, but I guess it's as good a time as any...

There are a combination of factors at work that led to this decision. Several months ago my old laptop at last kicked the bucket. It made it difficult for me to do the kinds of things I needed to do for SP. I couldn't really extract anymore. Wasn't a lot of time to be on for a while. Eventually I found other things to fill my time. Pretty soon, I was spending less and less time around here. The content of the patches wasn't even interesting. So much worthless stuff coming out in both GMS and KMST... it's pretty obvious there was not going to be any content that would hold my interest for almost a year. So... I just didn't really follow it anymore.

Then there's the constant drama. Almost every month, without fail, something new and horrible cropped up that we'd have to deal with. It was really starting to weigh on me after a year of this. People I never did anything to were causing trouble for reasons I couldn't fathom. It's pretty much impossible to please everyone, as i'm sure we all realize, but it's especially trying when people can't comprehend the full reasoning that had to go into the decisions, and they can't ever really know. I gotta say if there's one thing I learned from SP, it's a big respect for people in actual leadership positions where they have to deal with much worse every day. It's no wonder presidents tend to go gray in those 4 years. By the end it was getting to the point where I would dread seeing a PM in my inbox because it almost certainly meant that a new stressor had appeared. Things probably shouldn't have gotten to me as much as they did, but there's not a lot I could do about it. It's just how I am.

Another thing is that I changed colleges in this time as well, and have to build up social relationships from scratch. Haven't had much luck with that yet, but it's also because I haven't been trying. In a lot of ways I had been avoiding it, but now I realize that. I hadn't been happy with the way things were in my life for... quite a while now. The only way to remedy that is to make big changes. It seemed to me that the first step was to close the old chapter for good, and put my full attentions towards the future.

lastly, a pretty drastic increase in the difficulty of my classes as of late has dominated my attention. Kinda took on more than I should have this semester. It's at the point where I must get started with my major and the initial workload is high. I have so many classes packed into the middle of the week that they all blend together into one long day. Combined with some of the other personal issues that have cropped up since the start of the year, it's only made things worse.

So, when Fiel and I talked about it, the time seemed right. I need to go my own way and lay this aside. Everyone's gotta do it sometime. It's been rough sometimes, but it's also been a lot of fun with you guys. I don't want to go through and list people by name, it doesn't seem right; Too many people to do that for anyway, but you all know who you are. I won't disappear immediately, but it won't be long.

So long everyone!

You were a great part of the community. A really important one. By losing you, the community is losing a big part of it. But yeah, as you said, everyone has to do it, sooner or later.

Good luck with everything in your life. We'll miss you and your Maple's stories and Strategywiki updates dearly.

Bye Isaac, we sure as corn will finish the VN in your memory, though the last chapters might suck without your leadership. I apologize for the untimely mental support, but I've been meaning to thank all of Southperry's moderation team for the work so far, especially Fiel and Isaac, my two most respected chinchillas. Good luck with everything, and remember to always be chinchilling!

EDIT: Also, sad to see that things have come to this, but at least our forums are in the right hands now. I'll pray tonight for SP not to fall apart.

Bye Issac, i guess its an end of an era. i will miss your presance.

That's what it seems like to me, too. It's almost depressing, really. I definitely feel some kind of missed presence (or...will). :|

Blah.

EDIT: Ryan's account is gone. Lol.

i love you isaac and i shall miss you long time. thanks for the fish too.

so, the new server, did this fix the issue about some people having more power than the owner?

o.O there was never an issue with that to begin with.

Goodbye Isaac, and good luck

my bad, thanks for the answer

I'll miss seeing Isaac around. So have a good life in college and beyond, man. And wherever life's endeavors may take you.

Cya Isaac~

This explains why I was getting 404 errors. -Goes to delete the "/forum" part out of the link....-

I was getting 404 error too, thought something was wrong with SP so I just tried southperry.net and got in, finally!

Oh sad to see that Isaac is leaving, I thought something was up since you haven't really posted much in a long time.

with the database...couldn't you just grab the most current one and replace it?

What about Ryan?

Wow that was a pretty severe rollback. Good job though, Paul.

AIN'T GOT NO LOVE FO ISAAC, ABANDONIN' OUR BUTTS.

Can say Isaac will be missed. But with the bulldog who knows what will happen.

While moving to the new server, it also makes sense to move to a different IRC platform. Southperry’s official IRC will be moving to GameSurge, a popular and robust IRC network. I will have a new guide coming up on how to register for GameSurge in the next few days as it is a bit different than what you guys may be used to. However, it’s all for the better!

Please not GameSurge. GameSurge's services are different from every other IRC network I've been on, which means things like my auto-identify and auto-ghost scripts don't work.
