Hello everyone! Instead of sending an annoying announcement email about this, I figure it should be enough to update you all on what's happening here? It doesn't exactly affect existing members, at least not yet. As of today, the form for the webring is paused to make way for an overhaul both in style, backend, and overall improvement.

The only reason this may be relevant to an existing member is the backend requires some file restructure... I didn't know what I was doing when I first made it and now it's kind of a mess. There's a good chance everyone will have to update their code and it'll be necessary for me to email as many people as possible to let them know that. Sorry in advance for the annoyance but it'll be good for the ring and

make it much more 'professional!' Not that that's much of a worry but I'd like to tidy it up and look a lot less amateur, especially since there's been a surprisingly somewhat steady stream of people coming into the ring. I want to be better at managing it. Thank you!!

Hellooo, I hope you've been well. I didn't have your email via the form and there's no other contact on your site so I just wanted to lyk that you've been taken off the ring - I know youre making some changes, so when youre finished just email me or send in another form if you'd like to join back! Best wishes, I think your site is coming along nicely <3

Oh, thank you, and thanks for letting me know about that! It's very understandable, and it may take a bit before I can dive back into working intently on it. I'll be sure to do that when I'm done!

My application to YearUp got rejected... They said in their letter that I was among a strong group of candidates but Idk if that's true or if they send that line to all rejects.

They do say that applicants are encouraged to get in touch with their interviewer and re-apply, they do have limlited slots so they can't accept *everyone* so maybe I'll do that but Idk. gosh this sucks

I recently got back from a trip to AZ :33 I met a friend and his family who I've known for what seems like a billion years and I really didn't want to leave. Probably expect a blog post at some point about this but I hope everyone's been well.

On that note, I finally started working on making aesthetic changes and other things. Not updating the actual site, using a "testing room" but I think it's coming along nicely.

Hey heyy - not much may be happening but stuff is indeed happening for me ^^ I just took my first CLEP exam (College Level Examination Program) and I think I did pretty well! It's not graded yet but they don't let you take the essay portion if you didn't pass the multiple choice and I'm pretty confidant about the essays.

Also, there's a "no javascript" option for the webring. It was added a while ago actually but I've been in the Midst of Things so I never...announced it... I also don't know if that sort of change is big enough to warrant an annoying email sent out to everyone so yeah.

moheb-rofail 7 months ago

The no JavaScript section was not functional, but I managed to change it to function.. don't delete it.. you know I am using it now on my website.. our friend Aiste was the one whomade me observe that it doesn't work, but now it is working.

huh. The "random" button under the bible widget seems to be referencing the code for the free speech webring instead of mine...? hum.

kunfucutsman 8 months ago

I found the problem! Turns out that both the bible ring widget and free speech widget use the same file name for handling their widgets, "onionring-widget.js"

kunfucutsman 8 months ago

So because the browser loads two javascript files with the same name, it uses the latest one which is the one from the free speech webring, and because both widgets use the same name of the functions for the random link, you get that bug

It can be fixed by modifying the code of the bible webring to something with unique names, both the files and functions have to be changed so they don't interfere with other onion.js based webrings

OH AND (sorry for yammering so much) you know something that's really dumb? Like kind of stupid? the whole "secret message" thing I have as part of the form. Like half of everyone who sends in a form don't understand what I mean by that and that's completely fair. I'll probably... I need to think about it I guess, but probably something like "Do you affirm the Nicene Creed" is enough lol. Idk why I did that.

I've seen a similar thing done in animation collab application videos. They hide a password in the rules to make sure people have read the rules when they apply. Dunno whether that's necessary for this form though. Also it's good to see you back!

Hello, it's been a while, again. Added four members to the webring and went through all current members deleting any without the widget or other such things. Submit another form or email me if you wanna be added back... I don't know what other webring owners do in situations like this so I'm hesitant to send out emails. I've sent out emails to everyone who's been accepted though! Welcome;

flying-with-quills 8 months ago

I am both shocked and glad that people are still finding the ring and either sending forms or emailing me about it. It's both daunting and comforting and I hope I can improve how I handle it and the webring website as well. :))

Sorry only just saw your comment -- thank you, I appreciate it ^^;; It's been a few days since I wrote that depressed rambling but I finally did some things I've needed to do and I'm a tad more calm. A very, very mature and kind of friend is also trying to help me be in God more, as much as one can without a church. He's the most consistant thing in my life atm so hopefully that bodes well.

YOU HAVE RETURNED. New page looks nice. There's nothing wrong with expressing melancholy either. Life is tough and it can help others that are struggling to know that they're not abnormal, or alone, for struggling. Glad to see you again in any case.
