Administrator Popular Post Tony Posted October 7, 2023 Administrator Popular Post Share Posted October 7, 2023 After nearly two years, WebFlake is reopening its doors to the community. We're excited to renew this adventure with you all and are so thankful for your love and commitment. We've heard your voices, and we've missed you too. Let's cover some important questions! What is the new domain name; what happened to WebFlakeSX? We no longer own the WebFlakeSX domain or Twitter/X account. Regrettably, we allowed the domain to lapse, and it was promptly snatched by one of the many domain squatters that hold beleaguered domains ransom. We have no desire to pay the fees required to recollect that domain, so we have moved on to the dev extension, WebFlake.dev, and have launched a new Twitter/X account https://twitter.com/WebFlakeHQ. Why is WebFlake returning; why now? You. That's the simple truth. WebFlake stood as a bastion for ingenuity, creativity, and ambition. Our community and webmasters everywhere still need us. Are you affiliated with the other WebFlake sites? No. We never were and never will be. It goes without saying that none of us expected our community or the market to just sit on their hands after WebFlake's closure. We fully respect and appreciate the efforts to provide a spiritual successor or an entirely new home for interested users. What we are absolutely uncomfortable with, are the two communities that thought it prudent to use our branding, our identity, and attempt to be us. Whether their intention was to defraud you or simply to take up the reins, their combined lack of success and egregious lack of respect for every one of us that made WebFlake possible is what is important here. Neither community acknowledged that they were not the original WebFlake and both communities made concerted efforts to effectively copy/paste elements of this community. We won't ban you for participating in their charade provided you do not advertise or discuss those communities on any of our platforms. We do strongly encourage you to avoid being deceived or preyed upon. You don't have to choose us over them, there are other options — just don't encourage or facilitate their unscrupulous endeavors. What can we expect with WebFlake's relaunch? WebFlake closed in January 2022. With that in mind, we ask that you temper your expectations. We've restored the website as it were twenty months ago in its totality. Users, donations, topics, posts, reputation, files, and everything in between is intact. We've upgraded the core and the database to current versions. We've also just completed a total overhaul of our member groups, updated our original theme, and are continuing to make a number of other modifications and improvements to our community. You can see some of those changes listed in our Release Notes, here: WebFlake Release Notes - 7.0.0 What are your plans going forward? We want to place more emphasis on quality of life and community. We recognize that our approach prior to closing last January wasn't the best and we have immense room for improvement. In the pipeline are minor things like relaxed guidelines and larger things like crowdfunding. We're also contemplating expanding our brand into other web-related ventures; more info on this to come. In the meantime, we want to ensure that we begin making up for lost time. What can I do to help out with the relaunch? Content. Come say hi, submit a file, answer a question, or join us on Discord. If you have a spare server boost or two for Discord, we would appreciate it if you applied them to WebFlake to enhance the user experience there. Do remember that you are under no obligation to contribute but know that you would have our undying gratitude. Additionally, you can promote our relaunch on social media and with your connections. We do not condone spamming other communities or Discord servers; be respectful. What if I encounter bugs or things aren't working as they should be? If you encounter any bugs, please report them on our Bug Tracker, here: https://webflake.dev/forums/bug-tracker. If you think you can help us improve the community, we'd love to hear your thoughts; submit them via our Ideas page here: https://webflake.dev/forums/ideas Who is managing WebFlake now? Tony, James, Logan, Cookie Monster, and GradientWizzard. To be clear, this means that Phun has retired and will no longer be involved with WebFlake in any capacity. He may stop by to say hello on occasion, but he is no longer representing or assisting in the management of WebFlake. What if I have a question that isn't covered here? Feel free to ask away on Discord or the forums, and we will answer those questions to the best of our ability. 6 1 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
