DBZSC News Archives: May 2003
Thursday, May 29, 2003
Attention DBZSC Readers:
We're currently undergoing a server change (not host). However, we are unable to update at the moment for this reason, since any change made on this server won't be visible in the new one. Once this message disappears, it means that the transfer was completed. In other words, if you're seeing this message, it means that you're still viewing the OLD server. Sorry for the inconveniences.
On another note, STOP ASKING ABOUT THE DBZSC FORUMS! It's not the first time we say it. THEY WILL BE BACK AS SOON AS THEY'RE READY! Once the server transfer is complete, the forums will be back online. THERE IS NO APROXIMATE RETURN DATE, because we don't know how long this might take. Thank you for understanding. [more]

It looks like, while we are waiting for Legacy Of Goku 2 to come out, two new games are in the works. You may have heard rumors on them, but here's the proof. An official statement off of Dragonballtoys.com.
DBZ: Budokai 2 (for PS2) - December 2003
DBZ: Taiketsu (for GBA) - 10/16/2003That is all of the info we have been given so far, obviously Budokai 2 is the sequel to the first one on PS2 (and soon GameCube), and it is only being released for PS2 at the moment (they are most likely waiting to see how well the first one does on the Cube). As for the GBA game, I have no idea what it is about, perhaps we are getting a portable fighting game, or perhaps it is another card game. One thing is for sure, it is not the same game as Legacy of Goku 2 which is coming next month. If I get more details I'll be sure to let you all know. One thing I would recommend is reserving them both when you get the chance!
That's all the news for now! Cya later! [more]

Well, as some of you may have noticed, the Audio Media has returned along with other sections. At the same time, I added a new one called "Interviews", which you can check out under the main category. Also, the Fusion Chamber links have been fixed (since they were reported down).
Little by little we'll recover. The good news right now are that I was able to recover the forum database, meaning that the Dbzsc Forums will be back in action in no time. I'll post when they're ready. [more]

Well, our news manager Greymatter has been re-installed. Unfortunately, thanks to Smoovenet, all of our news were erased. However, no need to fear. We will update you with the newest stuff going around in the DBZ world like always.
On another note, our emails are back online. Sections that have returned as well include the Dbzsc Store and Episode Reviews. We're working very hard on restoring the rest as soon as possible. Also, about the Dbzsc Forums, we're trying to recover our database to avoid the hazzle of starting over. Give us time, they will return.
UPDATE: Huge, HUGE thanks to Kage @ DBMXL for helping us upgrade our PHP's security. Go visit DBMXL NOW. [more]

To our fans... Welcome back to DBZSC.
To Smoovenet...First of all, thank you for deleting DBZSC.com on your server. It felt truly great to get stabbed from behind by the sole network we helped grow and had so much respect towards. It's great to see how much trust you have on your long time hostees, and even better, letting us now that no matter how long we've been there, we're just another failed customer in line. We're very sorry for not being hosting technicians that can predict security risks, and also, sorry that we don't have psychic powers to predict when a hacker will get into our account. Nevertheless, thanks for blaming me for all.
Last but not least, thanks a lot for terminating our account and deleting all of our years' work without showing us proof of the event. Your action was based on an assumption, and that's considered power abuse. Even if the file was in our account, you should have tracked the IP of the person that uploaded it. If you do that, you won't find a place to hide, because I guarantee you that it wont match any of the DBZSC's staffs IPs, since we're not responsible for the event that happened. Oh but yes, I forgot you have to keep your "reputation"... So you'll never show us the sole proof that will bring your ego down. The LEAST you could have done for respect was suspending the account until further investigation was done. Now I see that respect doesn't matter. Thanks for the heads up. And, like you, we're very sorry it had to end this way. I dont wish anything like this ever happens to your other hostees, because it's truly not nice.
One last thing... Before you start emailing about how much I'm bothering with this type of post, ask yourselves this question:
How would you react if someone is blaming you for something that you didn't do and kill your whole work without notice, AND without showing you proof of the event? Answer that question, and you will know how I feel about this situation.
Now, for the hacker... You can go to hell. I would love to see your face if this ever happens to you. Contact me if it ever does, so I can laugh in your face and make you feel even worse.

Note to DBZSC users:
Our emails are DOWN, so don't email us. Most of our media sections are down. Also, some sections are incomplete. We're trying our best to recover the missing work, but we need time. Thank you for your patience. [more]Posted by XZ @ 12:56 AM EST [Link]
