WhizWeb Community

This has, unfortunately, been a long time coming. Sorry for keeping everyone in the dark.

Running this site has been great fun. I started it all quite a few years ago, back when I was 11, just as a small community for a few friends at school. Since then, it's grown and grown. We've had (excluding spam members and stuff) over 400 active members of the years, contributing greatly to the Mario Worker share site! and, at one time, keeping this place an active community.

Unfortunately, activity here has dwindled. Places on the site are broken. Nothing new's been added in a looooong long time. But I just can't find the time any more to keep everything running smoothly. If there are any major issues, I try and respond to them when I have some time to spare, but this is getting less and less.

As such, I will (hopefully soon) set aside a block of time to revamp the site as follows:

• Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection Friend Code Sharing - scrap it. Was quite a flop anyway.
• Forum - scrap it. Only real use for it at the moment is announcements, so I'll make a basic page for that instead.
• GameStation - archive somewhere. Old PowerPoint games will be kept, JavaScript experiments to be thrown out. Not sure about application games, they were kinda rubbish.
• Messenger Plus! Live scripts - archive somewhere. Probably going to scrap DevTools.
• The Mario Worker share site! - move to a separate site. Hope to transfer accounts and login system, or simplify and build a new one (since the whole account/login system is currently done using the forum). Might have to drop some of the extra features (like rating and sorting), will see.
• The videoCINEMA - scrap it. All videos are hosted on YouTube anyway, so don't need a site to just link to everything.
• Vote-oriented Tally Engine - probably scrap it. VoTE was a nice experiment, but has little to no use.

If you have suggestions of your own, I'd love to hear them. In contrast to what I usually say, don't PM me on here as I don't check it as frequently as I used to. Your best bet is to send me a tweet @Whiz_WWC, or you can email me here.

Thanks to everyone who got the site up to where it is now. We couldn't have done it without you.

For those who haven't heard, the company that provides cz.cc domains has mysteriously disappeared. This means that our old website domain no longer works. If you're reading this, then congratulations, you're accessing our website from the proper, new http://www.ww-c.netii.net domain... wait, sound familiar? Yeah, it's our old one.

We've fixed most redirect issues now, but some sites may still have links to the old domain. If you find one, TELL US! I'm very busy with schoolwork at the moment, so I don't have the time to check every page of the site. Stumble across one? Post it here. Private message me. Email me. Tweet me. SOMETHING, just say, please. And this goes with other issues too. We're quite a small community, so you people need to speak out when something breaks.

On the lighter side... we have a mobile-friendly forum now. Head over to http://forum.ww-c.netii.net on your Android, iPod, iPhone or other smartphone and have a look at it right away!

Oh, and we've revised the sign-up procedure. Our "auto-activate after 7 days" didn't work as expected, so we're back to email activation. Enjoy!

A few things are happening behind the scenes over here at WWC.

Firstly, our Voicemail script for Messenger Plus! is currently in public beta - you can grab a copy and try it out now over at the Messenger Plus! Forum post.

Also, another new script is on its way: Autrogo, a Messenger task automator. Not yet released, but go read the post about it.

In other news... Android. 'Nuff said... for now.

I have recently started working on Android development, so you might see some apps on our website in the future... just sayin'.

In short: users banned for spamming the forum will have their accounts removed. I don't need a list of banned users that can't do anything on the site. End of.

Our home page shows the latest five announcements. If you want to look through older news stories, then you can read all of the articles on the forum. If you use an RSS reader, you can subscribe to the RSS feed.

Also, see the "Recent" button on our bottom toolbar? Click on it, and it'll open a list of all our announcements. Just click a title to go to the article.
