Yeah, it came back up pretty early yesterday, I think.
I feel badly... I only ever seem to notice how much I love VV when it is down!

Thank you for VV!!


I recently added Zox'Oculox's page. I wrote a few extra things in there on the spot and might need to go back and fix it up, but it's a general synopses plus some fun. And I do need to make that top image smaller, I suppose, hehe.

I still have to revise the writing and flesh out more the story, and upload a picture. But you can get a good sense of who he is...

I'm open to critique!

Hi everyone!

This wiki is a great idea; I'm enjoying adding content. Speaking of which, please feel free to check out my character Steelshock on this selfsame wiki (link is in the sig below). I'd appreciate any feedback.

Thanks for making this resource available. Cheers!

As of right now, I am unable to edit pages. It always gives me the following error:

Sorry! We could not process your edit due to a loss of session data. Please try again. If it still doesn't work, try logging out and logging back in.

So I'm wondering if there's something going on with the server...

I keep getting an error message when attempting to upload an image that the image is empty. Despite renaming, trying alternate images, and everything else I can think of nothing seems to work.


Thoughts on the ITF: "What? 600+ men in loincloths running around and you're going to tell me not one of them has had something slip out?"

VirtueVerse is now down. I'm assuming for maintenance and to see what in bloody hell is going on.

Just a heads up!

Is it still down? Any ETA on when it'll be fixed?

Notified the admin when it started but no ETA yet. This particular error seems to come up every year or so, first the session-data message preventing edits followed by a day or two of the site being offline while the host fixes things.

EDIT: Current ETA is early next week.

Squeee, It was back up around midnight EST, able to make some changes to my two character pages there, Kitten Flame and Fumiyo, without any errors.

File space is starting to become tight. This is mostly a result of people uploading large files or large amounts of files. The admin is going to try to spend time identify the large files, but it would be extremely helpful if users could go through their own file uploads and resize anything over 100 KBs to under 100KB, preferably under 50 KB. Also make sure if you have images uploaded you are no longer using to mark those images for deletion.
Since Kade didn't mention how to do this, it is simple:
1. Go to your user page, then click on the User Contributions link on the left menu.
2. Change the namespace in the drop down to Image and it'll list any actions you completed under the image namespace.

To mark a image for deletion then go to the image, edit it and add [[Category: Deletion Request]].

Hmmm... some suggestions on how to make your images that small of a file, while retaining quality, might be helpful.

I, myself, tend to use Photoshop 7 and Image Ready. With Image Ready, I "save as optimized" to make a smaller file size.

That being said... Most of my images are likely over 50kb.


And thanks for the message!

I generally use the Save For the Web options in Photoshop. It'll let you adjust the quality settings at a finer level and get a much smaller file size while retaining the quality for the web.

That said... I can tell which ones I uploaded when I wasn't home. >_< I have a couple that are a bit over 100 KB too.

Ah, I'll try that option and see how it works for me!
And... haha, I know I was always kissing the limit that was already suggested... So, I am sure I am over 100 with... probablyeverysingleimageIhaveuploaded!

Don't feel bad I had a bunch myself

Didn't take me to long to go through them and resize the big ones though. Probably go back later and re-save some of the smaller ones too. Seems like a lot of my old stuff was a bit on the larger side.

I just went through and deleted every image I wasn't using, and then the ones that I was using but didn't really care if I kept.

Basically... HOLY CRAP I've uploaded a lot of images to VV.

Done and done, unnecessary images marked for deletion and large image resized to well below 100kb.


Also added the air speed velocity of an unladen European swallow and the capital of Assyria to my user page. :3

Well, this wasn't "quick", but after I saw your post it made me think of this one I had happened upon many months ago... But I couldn't remember the name of the character... Which led to plenty of futile searching...
Which finally resulted in me finding what I was looking for.
Rib Tickler
Not my character... Never met the character nor the player... Found it on a random page search some time in the past.
It might not even be the best page or writing or anything that I've seen, but it stood out enough in my mind to want to suggest when I saw your post.

I simply loved the origin. It was a long time ago since I read it though, so it may be different than what I remember, hehe... Giving it a quick glance right now though... and I see one quote from his character that I love...
"I never understood prop comedy until I stabbed someone with a fork."
Haha! May not be your cup of tea, but it is mine!

Also, feel free to check out EK and Zox'Oculox's pages if you like!
