Hi all!

One of my domains is expiring at the start of April, and three fanlistings hosted there will not be transferred over. I would be thrilled if anyone wants to take them on-- just reply here or email me at odile@in-revolution.net

News and Announcements / Re: TAFL has permanently moved

« on: July 29, 2016, 09:10:05 PM »

Is there any way to send an email out to the database of FL owners about this change? I had no idea until today when a bunch of my fanlistings went onto the troubled list. I should check the site more, obviously, but I'm wondering if other webmasters aren't in the same boat . . .

Of course, if something like that did go out and my spam protection is just being overzealous then this isn't helpful. I didn't get a password reset notif either and I know those went out.

General Questions and Discussion / Wayback Fanlistings

« on: July 08, 2014, 10:37:08 PM »

Hello, everyone and anyone! Blowing dust off my forum account here.

 

I've been thinking a lot lately about the sometimes fleeting nature of fanlistings. I recently picked up a few subjects that I've loved years. For whatever reason, the FLs weren't adopted out before they went under. I always feel so sad about that, it's like a piece of fandom history has been lost.

 

On to the question. Would it be right to try and fix that?

 

If you can find the previous listing's url, it's sometimes possible to look at old members lists via the Wayback Machine. I admit that I've considered adding these people back to the lists they joined. I'm pretty sure I could do this using the same method as uploading an adopted list's old members.

 

But would that be right? Is that stealing from another webmaster, or is it honoring the intent of the people who joined the older FL? How far back would it be OK to go? A year? Five? Ten? (Goodness.)

 

I'd be very interested to know anybody's thoughts on the ethics of this, and whether it has ever been discussed before. Apologies if this is 100% verboten already! I checked the rules and recent(ish) discussions and didn't see anything related, but of course I may have just missed it.

Adoption Center / cleaning up and cutting back

Oh gosh, I found this well past the application deadline. Is there any chance you're still looking for owners for these listings?

Series / Contradictory Rule?

Clearly I'm an overachiever when it comes to worrying :sweatdrop:

Series / Contradictory Rule?

« on: April 26, 2011, 02:05:25 PM »

Makes sense! I'm definitely not bothered by the longer wait,  particularly factoring in the idea of a submissions gathering period. I  just thought maybe it was a newer concept that hadn't been written into  the applications page. It does make a difference, particularly with anime-only series, which tends to air weekly. As you said, that pretty much doubles the time frame.

Thanks for getting back to me!

Series / Contradictory Rule?

« on: April 26, 2011, 12:06:07 PM »

I just saw the latest series update, which stated "Approvals do not include recently released titles with less than 4 chapters printed and/or 4 episodes aired." Well and good and logical.

But the series application form says "For newly released series [. . .] no applications  will be processed until at least two weeks have passed since the release." Which also makes sense, but they seem contradictory to me, especially considering that the four ep. rule isn't listed?

I at least was definitely tripped up by that this week!
