Title: TGIF (not really)
Message:
Jeez, I walk away from the main topic for five seconds and Mario quits on us! I could spend my entire update complaining about it, but there's stuff to be said.
First, our music/lyrics/tabs project is closing down. I now know that I will have very little time for this project, being I'm an actual staff member and I am as responsible for the site as Waddle-De-Do-Da (who, oddly enough, took a vacation. I picture something to the effect of that 'Mr. Bean' movie that just came out).
In other news, tSR finished the new sprite submission system, which isn't as impressive as I expected, it's just a regular forum. Also, we are trying to organize our tasks on the website. Mewthriii planned (it's so wierd to be saying he planned something, with Mario gone) our schedule to be:
1. We archive all our updates, to have that out of the way. We will start with November of 2006, and work our way forward.
2. We will develop and complete all pages nessecary for the sprite archives.
3. Mewthriii will complete his overly delayed fan fiction "The Mask of Eons" (hint, hint). 4. We will set up sub-directories for Eye-To-Eye Visual Arts novels such as Hakira Noku and Universe. 5. We will complete anything else nessecary throughout the natural course of time, as submissions make unseen tasks vital.

Title: WORKLOAD . . . RISING! MUST . . . NOT . . . GO . . . INSANE!
Message:
This is getting tougher and tougher. First Tetris Wizard tries to leave, then he comes back like the pushover he is . . . next thing you know, Mario leaves and we all know he won't be coming back because he got bored with it, and when Mario gets bored with something it usually sits in the closet, never to be touched again, even though this time the closet is the internet and the toy is the site. Why he picked November to leave, I have no idea. We're only five months away from our two-year anniversary. On the other hand, though, Mewthriii was prettymuch the president all along. He did everything on the website, made all the important decisions, contacted people to promote, or at least expand, the website, he was even the WEBMASTER! Jeez, if we could have had a less responsible president (I feel like I'm talking about politics, with all this talk about an irresponsible president).
Anyway, we're trying to include a search feature on our website, so that people can easily reach resources they want such as sprites, maps, etc. That is, if we had any posted. We still need to rebuild our archiving system for resources. Since we can have as many files as we want (to some extent, of course. I doubt freewebs will let us have more than 1000 files, albiet we're not even close to that. We're at 34 or so . . .

Title: We're splitting apart . . .
Message:
Mario left yesterday. He said he was bored with The Developer's Home (how you could get bored with being the webmaster of a game developing database, I have no idea). By the sound of it, he's not coming back like Tetris Wizard did. Mario placed me in charge of the website. Long story short, I get to be the webmaster, but at the same time I have a lot more responsibility. Ah, well. It was bound to happen anyway. Mario's been so layed back lately, and he put me in charge of managing almost everything else on the website, I had a feeling he would resign.

Title: I'M HAPPY I'M SO HAPPY AND I'M HAVING A WONDERFUL TIME!!!!!!!!
Message:
This is so awesome I logged on this morning and I saw index.html and that was the name of the old blog I deleted so I clicked on it and it was the old blog! I thought I accidentally deleted those updates in the switch to html but I found them and THIS IS SO AWESOME! THE SITE IS COMPLETE AGAIN! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!
Wow . . . that was wierd. I'm usually never that happy, nor do I ever lack in proper punctuation or grammar. It's probably just the luck of finding the old updates that made me so happy. I will archive them very soon. For now, that is all I have to say.

Title: Nothing new . . .
Message:
No real update today. The rest of the staff has been in an almost nonstop conference, debating improvements on the website. Thus, I am the only one who is capable of updating. Why me? Simple. I am tDH's CEO and lead site moderator. Therefore, it is my duty to remain behind and work on the site. Besides, Mario's been keeping me informed about the discussion in the conference. He has also been sending me me links for stuff that can help the secret project that I mentioned yesterday. Man, I must REALLY like my text effects. I think I'm addicted to HTML . . .
Also, Pacman Kirby reminded me that, since I'm now a part of the band, I have to help with their music side-project on the site. I don't know why they insist on me helping them with the project, I already have my hands tied with tDH. Ah, well.

Title: New Idea
Message:
I'm still feeling sick today. I'm staying home from school. Doing so, alongside laying low, leaves me plenty of time to update the site. I must ask passersby to not mess with anything to do with user login bars. This feature is still being developed, and doing anything to it could possibly screw up our server. I will continue working on this feature, and I will tell you about it when I finish my EVIL creation. Just wait and see, our development team has been waiting so long to do this, and we finally found a page on Drupal.org that shows us how to do it. Cool, huh?

Title: Bleah . . .
Message:
I feel sick to day. I've been feeling sick for a while, but it's been harsh all weekend. I'll make it quick, for my sake so that I can get some rest, and for the computer's sake so that I don't sneeze all over it.
I re-added the guest counter, a little feature that I enjoyed while we were using the site builder. I'm also working on getting the sprite page back in order. The rest of the crew is off debating ways to make the website shine, but they're having no luck whatsoever. We're still looking for a way to reform the forum, but that seems to be a long way off. We're trying.
[EDIT: No idea why or how, but Pacman Kirby talked Mario into approving a side project managed solely by Superstition. The project will feature lyrics, guitar tabs, bass tabs, drum tabs, and keyboard sheet music from different bands. It won't be ready for a while, but I'm hoping Pacman Kirby and Hendrix Luigi don't get too sidetracked trying to get it running sooner.]
[EDIT 2: I found some code on the freewebs resources that let me put in a new forum. It's just the same, but I can actually put it in the Developer's Home style. I also got to see 'Wayne's World' today. It was so excellent! ("No Way!" "Way!') Yeah, it was so awesome! I am not worthy! If you have seen the movie, you will get all my references. I layed low today, since I'm still sick and I had today off from school because friday was end of quarter. I had nothing better to do, and the movie had been laying around for a while. You can guess the rest. Schawing!]

Title: News for today? We have one.
Message:
Hey everyone. I'm back, and I would like to say that I have decided to join Hendrix Luigi's band. He's been bugging me for weeks, and I finally gave in. I will be playing bass guitar, not that it matters. I'll let Hendrix Luigi do the talking in this case.
Meanwhile, back on earth (or as close as I can get), the website is sort of losing it's purpose. We've recently dropped in the submission charts, from four a month back down to zero. I would therefore like to ask anyone who has ripped their own sprites, maps, or even just made a walkthrough, to submit their work to The Developer's Home. We need it, and the people who look at our site need it. Spread the joy of gaming. Send in your work, telling us the name of the game, what system it was for, and most importantly, the company that published it. Thank you.
