Avantasia – “Sign of the Cross”

My homework this week for my JavaScript class is to make a MadLib, so you can bet that I’ll post that on my site when I get it done.

I’ve spent most of the evening installing flinx, a script that helps with fanlistings. It has an admin panel that you use to control information in a database, and then the database outputs the information in the form of button links to the different fanlistings. It’s so freakin’ helpful. Therefore, my “fanlistings” page no longer exists and has been replaced with my flinx page. If there were any fanlistings I didn’t really feel strongly about, I just didn’t add them to the database, and then I also updated all of the links that were outdated and joined a bunch more.

:confused: I’m still at a loss for what to do with my underwear fanlisting. :dis: I want to keep it, there’s no doubt about that. I won’t be giving it away. However, I desperately need to be using PHPfanbase, and in order to do so, I could spend hours and hours adding each members information into the database, OR I could just say, “oops!” :lookup: and make everybody re-join.

That would be beneficial in that it would let me get a fresh start and would weed out the people who have lost interest. On the other hand, I have almost 300 members, and it seems like such a shame to just be like, “oops, you’re gone.” Especially since there are some people who have emailed me their info but I haven’t added to the site yet. Do I add them and then say “oops” or do I just say “please re-join” and hope they’re not upset?

Right now, I’m thinking I might just start all over. I mean, really, it isn’t that big of a deal, is it?

I think I’m going to put up a link to the page that lets you skin oipom.com, because the only pages that aren’t skinned (I think…?) are the “concert” pages, and I don’t think a lot of people look at those anyway, so it should be fine for now. I have three skins so far… one is a re-run of a past layout, just for the hell of it. This journal won’t be skinned anytime soon (what a nightmare that would be) so it will keep this layout until I decide to change it.

I’ve also downloaded some new smilies, so you’ll see some of them in use soon. :chubbysmile:
