Downtime and Host Trouble / Domain downtime, troubles, and this forum

« on: March 24, 2007, 03:07:20 PM »

We've noticed that a lot of members of this community simply make a post in this forum when their domains/sites are down, yet they never actually contact the staff (be it category staffers or the Senior Staff) about their problems. Please note that posting in this forum is NOT a substitute for properly contacting the staff about downtime; this means that your fanlistings can still be troubled regardless of whether you have posted here.

Characters N-Z / Applying for game characters

« on: March 10, 2007, 08:00:11 PM »

If you are planning to apply for a character from an anime/manga adaptation of a game, please remember to use the comments field to supply more information that will help the applications staffer verify that the character is approvable at TAFL.

As I'm sure you are all aware, it would be pretty difficult for a staffer to be familiar with each and every anime/manga series ever created, which is why supplying links to pages with more information is always appreciated by the staff, as it enables us to process your application faster, but it is particularly important when applying for characters from these types of series. Very often, the websites that provide information for these series either won't provide information specific to the anime/manga adaptation, or they don't separate the information that pertains to it (meaning, they will have a character list, but it won't specify if the character is in both the game and the anime/manga, or just in one).

If the staffer is not familiar with the series and is unable to verify that the character is approvable, your application can not be approved. The staffer will usually email you back asking for more information, but it would make things a lot easier for everyone involved if you include the necessary information from the start.

Examples of things that can help us verify if the character is approvable are:
- Websites with information specific to the anime/manga version of the series (in this case, a list of characters that appear in it)
- Images that "prove" that the character is in the anime/manga (scans of pages of the manga, or screencaps from the anime)

Fanlistings Chit-Chat / PHPfanbase security fix

« on: May 01, 2006, 09:07:47 PM »

There's a new security fix available for users of PHPfanbase. See the post at TFL and the announcement at CodeGrrl for more information. :/

EDIT:
This fixes issues that had not been found (and therefore were not dealt with) in the fix that was posted late last year.

Questions for the Senior Staff / Applying for story arcs?

« on: October 14, 2004, 10:02:12 PM »

I was thinking that not all anime series are clearly divided into seasons. I mean, I suppose you COULD do it, but in some cases, the story is much more clearly divided by story arcs.

So is it possible to apply for story arcs within a series? Like for instance the Black Rose arc in Utena, or Kantou Senbatsu arc in TeniPuri? And if it's possible, would it go in the series category, the way seasons do?
