Effective immediately, I can no longer accept submissions for Faces of Amiga.org. This is because my NTL subscription is being suspended until I can pay them the money I owe.
The page itself should still be accessible, but you won't be able to submit them anymore because my internet access will be cut off and the upload server is just the Compaq I have running at home.
Sorry about this, it should be a month or two before I can pay them off. In the meantime, remember to love one another!
Peace :-)

you are welcome to host it on lorddef.net if you can't find another free host.
-
So this is goodbye :cry:
Well, have a good Christmas man
-
oh yeah, I didn't read it properly.. farewell for the mo dude.

@lorddef
I would take you up on that offer but I don't think I'll be able to FTP the files to my webspace anyway. Thanks though :-)
The guy on the phone sounded quite apologetic and said it would maybe be a day or two, but I've shut it down now so that I can explain properly why it's happened and stuff.
This also means mpunk3.org is down for those of you that found that site interesting.

Chris, you want me to *bamf* over the puddle can kung fu somebody's @$S or can I get away with saying 'arse'???
:-P
Man, I sure wish I COULD *bamf*. Ah the smell of sulphur and brimstone. I wonder if *bamfs* smell as bad as my farts??

Dude... "bamf"?!

Hey Punk,
I know this MAY sound a little too obvious, but why not have Kees build a new category for Images here at Amiga.org then have everyone upload here. Then everything would be fully automatic, keyed to their account, and best of all, free... :-)
We DO have an image gallery, remember?

Hi Wayne,
I kind of got the feeling Kees didn't really want to do that when I first brought the idea for Faces up. I dunno...
There's also the issue of whether the Photo Album's interface is really suitable for that kind of thing. But I do see the advantages of your suggestion. It's down to Kees, really, I've PMed him about the situation.
Cheers,

Dude... "bamf"?!
Am *I* like the ONLY X-Men fan around here??? Nightcrawler!!!! He *bamfs*. Whenever he teleports, it sucks the air around him in to an extra-dimensional space, releasing residues of sulphur and brimstone in the process. Hence, the sound his power makes, when he teleports is *BAMF*
Sheesh.... you people need to read comic books more.... :-? :-?

@tpg
Fare well bud. Man, the stupid-o'-clock shift just isn't going to be the same without you :-(
Dont be gone too long ;-)
Cheers

@tpg,
I don't know when this all started, so I don't remember all the details. Kees approached me at one point about going to a hell of a lot of work setting up hosting and all kinds of programming for it. I don't think ANYONE ever thought about the already existing image gallery.
I actually think it would work rather well.

Sorry, I misunderstood you... It sounds cool, I think everyone would appreciate it :-)

Hope you get it sorted and get back as soon as posible.

The picture galleries here have no thumbnails IIRC, which is bad.
-
Umm... yes, it does have thumbnails.

whilst I think the image gallery here is cool, and whilst I think faces of amiga.org is cool, I'm not sure I'd want the image-o-matic working on the faces of amiga.org for some reason, I kinda like the idea of viewing them as a mob...and yes, I will get round to uploading a pic at some point!

That's one of my main issues with using Amiga.org's photo album, although I would be surprised if it wasn't possible to keep a particular album from appearing in Image-o-Matic...

@ Wayne
I suggested this when the "faces of a.org" first appeared. The administration would be easier, there would be extras like the search functions, etc. I recalled a similar (now removed?) function over at morphzone (allthough there were never more than one entry there (was it Darth_X? :-))), but I recall that the reason would be a server load issue or something.
But I must say that I really like the "that_punk_guy" way too, with all the images in one single page! :-) The faces of amiga.org *IS* the "that_punk_guy way"! He owns us! :-)
@ that_punk_guy
I would just like to say that I have enjoyed your efforts in that "faces of amiga.org" effort of yours. Really! :-) It's cool to see the faces behind the signatures! :-)
I also wanted to say that I have also worked at McDonalds some 10-12 years ago or so, if that might comfort you in any way (probably not), so I know the sweat shop conditions. I worked part time there to get some extra money during my studies. That was even before my military service (a mandatory thing in Sweden). It tought me a lot though, and any of our advances forward are based on our history. My advice to you: Move forward! :-)
Hope you will find a way to get back online again soon too ...

X-men kick ass! I will share and enjoy your joke. I have also wondered how bad *Bamfs* smell. I know that sometimes after I fart I wish I could disappear. :-D
Sorry about the page/site. I just sent my pic a few days ago. :-(

LOL I'm sure my roommate says the same thing. I'll go up to her, while she's on her computer acting interested, only to just rip one as I'm walking off.
Man, I thought mine were bad...she's ripped some NASTY ones in my face when I wasn't prepared.
On topic, Chris, I really hope you get this situation settled. Best wishes and happy holidays.

:roll: Dude, at my local comic shop, I have a subscription box that's older than you. Well, older than many Amiga.orgers, anyway.
;-) And I agree, Nightcrawler is cool.
