The main site is now available. The forums take a bit longer to restore but they should be back online at some point today. In the meantime please email me if there are any problems with the main site.

*UPDATE*

Forums are now back online. Remember to report to me if there are any problems with the site.

Also just so you all know, my summer vacation is coming up in a couple of weeks! 😎 Classes are just about over with and finals are coming up. So SSF2 may be slowed again once more due to exams, but the end of classes is just around the corner so it’s only a matter time before I can really get some work done on the game. Although I can’t say I have a due date yet, I will see where I’m at after school lets out and possibly give you guys another estimate on the next update.

I apologize for the short notice, but the tech department of my web host made a mistake and apparently reinstalled the wrong OS. So we’re going to have another day of downtime coming up. (I just can’t believe I didn’t notice… :>_<: ) I only have until May 6th to switch or I'll start being charged extra, so I want to get it done as soon as I can. I'll basically be doing the same thing as before: -The forums will be offline starting at midnight (EST) on May 2nd (this Sunday night)

-The site itself will go offline at some point during Monday May 3rd

Luckily this time I’ll know how to take care of the issues that came up during the last OS reinstall, so there will be much shorter down time than before. If anything changes I’ll be sure to let you all know.

Hakker has set up a temporary forum to go on during the down time:

Feel free to hang out there until the transfer is done.

Sorry for the delay, everything should now be up and running normally. Please email me if there are any further issues.

And of course an event such as this slowed down the new demo’s progress quite a bit. I will post an updated estimate on a due date as soon as I can.

I will be performing the OS reload on the server next week (as mentioned in the previous news). There are two important things to note:

-The forums will be offline starting at midnight (EST) on April 18th (Sunday night)

-The site itself will be offline for a short period of time at some point between April 19th-20th

I will attempt to keep the down time a short as possible. Until then, the submission system for the sprite archive and bug report system have been closed so that no new uploads are made until the reload is complete. I will keep you posted on any further updates.

I know this is going to sound a bit sudden, but I just received an email today stating Microsoft raised the prices on their licensing terms for some of their server editions. Unfortunately one of the editions I’m using right now, so my web host is significantly increasing the fee on the site unless I switch editions :>_<: Please note that this OS change will not affect the quality of the web site in any way.

I’m simply switching the OS, all the other specs will remain the same. Though I do need to move everything again so it will take about a day or two to do so.

Further information will be provided after I schedule a date to reinstall the OS

For those of you who still don’t understand, in simpler terms I basically need to take everything down temporarily so my web host can install an operating system that aren’t affected by these new fees Microsoft put out. Unfortunately this will affect SSF2 production a bit and may push back release date a bit more, but even so I’ll just have to multi-task for now until the switch is done.
