The Forums Are Ready…

May 21st, 2009 by Rian | 7 Comments | Filed in Website Info

Hey everyone, the new forums are ready to go! Feel free to go over there, sign up and start posting – the link is TheSkinnyForum.com. (For bandwidth and server resource reasons I decided to put the forum on a different server).

I’m still working out a few kinks in the forum software, but overall things are running smoothly and there are already several discussions starting up, so make sure not to miss out!

Please Vote!

Hey everyone, I am seriously considering starting up a forum for this website. Not only would there be an area to discuss celebrities and their weight, but a place to discuss other things, including diets, general celebrity gossip, current events, etc.

So I’d love to get your input on this…

Do you think there should be a forum for this website?

  • Yes! I would sign up and post on it if there was one. (51%, 2,220 Votes)
  • I don't care either way (29%, 1,238 Votes)
  • No (20%, 857 Votes)

Total Voters: 4,311

Thanks to everyone who votes!

(By the way, if I get at least 500 people voting “yes” on this, I will definitely start a forum for the site. :-D )


Update: OK, it looks like I’ll definitely be putting up some forums! I’ll work on these today and hopefully have them up and running either later today (Wednesday) or tomorrow. I’ll post the link as soon as they are ready!

Site Update & Moderation Explanation

April 10th, 2009 by Rian | 65 Comments | Filed in Website Info

Hi everyone! First off, happy Good Friday/Easter to all of you out there who celebrate it.

I realize that a lot of comments are going through moderation and it’s a little frustrating. However, this situation is temporary. Right now this website is located on a temporary server until our account is built on the new web host’s server. So things might be running a little slower than usual overall and a lot of the comments are being moderated. You may also notice that some posts have the commenting feature shut off.

Early next week (Monday or Tuesday) we will be situated on the new server and things will go back to normal. People will be able to sign up for user accounts again and there will be a few extra options. Moderation and commenting will also go back to normal. There will be a few new features as well, such as a site search option and polls.

Best of all, no further site information, comments or posts will be lost during this last move.

I appreciate all of you guys being patient during this time! :-)

Website Update

April 9th, 2009 by Rian | Comments Off | Filed in Website Info

Hey everyone, I am so sorry about the site outage since yesterday!  Long story, but I am in the process of switching web hosts. The website will be moved to the new server most likely next Monday.

In the meantime I will be doing posts as usual, however, you may notice slower loading times since this site is currently on a temporary server.  Also comments may not be turned on for most posts so as to not overload the server.

Also please note that all user accounts have been lost – for which I am truly sorry – but next week you will be able to sign up for a new account that will have a few more flexible options.

New posts to come shortly… thanks for your patience!
