Ah! My Goddess Chapter 257 has finally been released via a RAW download. Check out our forums for more information.

If you get the chance, stop by the forums and welcome our two newest Moderators, speedfreek19 and Nirvash_Destroyer. They replace some of our Moderators who have been inactive for more than a few months. Stop by the forums and welcome them as our most recent forum staff members.

New Staff Members

NOTE: The contents of this post refers to the restoration of an old backup of our forums so our members can retrieve old PM’s and attachments. This does not concern our LIVE forums, which registration remains open and free.

For those of you who are wondering if it’s going to be possible to retrieve your old PM’s and whatnot, please be aware that I’m in the middle of the process of attempting to temporarily restore the old database on a backup website. The backup database is large and it’s taking me some time to troubleshoot and to get everything to import correctly. When the restore of the old database is complete, I’ll post an announcement here, an announcement on the forums as well as a bulk email to all of our members.

Due to licensing restrictions with the software, once this backup is restored, I’ll only be able to keep it online and accessible for a limited amount of time, probably around two weeks to give everyone a chance to retrieve their old PM’s. Just keep your eyes peeled for an announcement.

The only exception is that we won’t be allowing any new registrations, registration will be disabled on the backup forums, as this restore is only intended to serve our members so they can retrieve their old PM’s.

Working on a request from Timotheus, we’ve hit 125,000 posted messages and the landmark post (New Topic) highlights an article featuring Belldandy figures over at Dannychoo.com. This is a huge event for us at The Goddess Project.net and we’re excited to hit this new milestone. I can sense 150,000 right around the corner but I doubt we’ll hit that by the end of the year. At any rate, this is all thanks to the support of our wonderful community and I hope more of our visitors will continue to register for accounts and become participating members in our community.

If you haven’t checked out forums in some time, please take the time and stop by. The new forum upgrades have mostly been complete; we’ve fixed our account registration problems and activity on the forums haven’t been better. We have a new Reputation System where members can vote for each other to get their names displayed on the Board Index in our top 10 Reputation Leaders board and we’re working on adding even more features.

In addition to all of that and much more, we’re also on the verge of hitting a new record for the forums, 125,000 posted messages. It’s exciting for us because we never thought that we’d ever be around this long.  Four years of operation and 125,000 posted messages later and we’ve outlasted some of the older Ah! My Goddess communities that have existed long before us. We’ve built a small yet strong community. We receive exclusive information regarding the future of the television series as well as the manga series and we also receive information pertaining to new merchandise being produced for the 20th anniversary of the manga series.

This Fall/Winter will mark the 21st anniversary of this long running manga series and with the 250th chapter of the manga only recently released in Japan, we’re all excited. So, share in the fun and stop by the forums, register for an account and join the rest of our community. We’re always looking for new ways to inject from fresh content into the site and to keep our site a fun and interesting resource of information.

I’m aware that some of our members are having problems logging into the forums. Since the upgrade, the majority of log-in problems have been resolved. Before contacting us, in regards to your account, please do the following:

1. clear out your browser cache (Firefox, Opera, Safari, Internet Explorer, etc)
2. delete your temporary internet files
3. close your web browser and log back in

If the problem persists, do the following in order:

1. remember if you have a login name different than your display name
2. request a new password (this can be done during the login process, just click on the forgotten password link)
3. if your account is locked or you are still having problems, please contact the Admin with details about your account (username, display name, email address)

Remember, if you cannot provide details when you contact us regarding problems logging into the forums, we cannot help. Just sending us an email with your real name doesn’t help either. This is to ensure against Spammers, Spambots, Trolls or Botnets from gaining control of your account. From here on out, please provide details of your account. If not, we cannot verify who you are.

We had a slight problem with the Registration Process for our forums. If you have tried to register for an account on our forums, please try to register again. The problem has been fixed as it was a problem with the Question and Answer Challenge with our registration.

If you continue to have problems, please let me know.

We’re currently accepting advertisers for our forums. If you would like to bring traffic to your commercial or personal website, we’re accepting banners for each skin on our forums. While we’ll be adding skins to our forums over the next few weeks, you have the choice on how many skins you would like to see your banner on. While we don’t charge per click, we do charge:

$15 per month for the default skin

$10 per month for secondary skins

We receive thousands of hits per month from not just our members but also from visitors and guests to our forums. Since many of our members use the default skin, this improves the chance of your business receiving additional hits from our members. Since we have a Paypal account, you can pay for banner space through Paypal, Check or Money Order.

If you haven’t visited the forums in some time, please note that we have just completed a major upgrade to the forums. We’ve also installed an IRC Chat, Shoutbox and the forums include new features which should appear to our registered members. We’re currently pushing the new upgrades because we feel that most of the previous problems regarding login issues have been corrected.

So, if you haven’t checked us out in some time, please be sure to stop by and sign up for an account.

So far, it’s a general consensus that everyone likes the new forum design. So, if you haven’t stopped by, feel free. Accounts are free so stop by and say hi. There have been improvements all across the forums so you might just be surprised. Our new forum design features a Webby 2.0 look and we think you’ll agree.
