Is Peach Paradise still running? I'm very worried that it hasn't been working for 2 days now.

Peach Paradise has completely lost any form of stability in recent times; to be honest, the very day we finished work on this forum, Peach Paradise crashed and we were unable to inform anyone of the new forums as a result. It has certainly proved quite annoying, so I understand where you are coming from.

However, Peach Paradise's fate is simply beyond our control. As far as I know, only Allision and Mario have access to the site's primary code (Sigurd might, but I am not too sure on that one). Topped with the fact that DotNetNuke has proved its unreliability in general over the past two years or so, the staff here believe that the site is simply a lost cause; it is the very reason these new forums were created. Given that, I can safely say that none of the PeachTech Admins will be supporting the old website in any way whatsoever. Sphax is working on a new website for PeachTech however; stay tuned on that front. :P

Thanks for telling me Toadiliwraith. I pray for my hopes it will come back to life.

If it were still working I would say yes, I see no reason to close it completely. However the main admins (probably the only ones who can fix that error) have not been around in ages. The site has been slowly decaying for months and until it's up and running again I can't say what the future holds.

If it doesn't come back, I won't be too happy, but that's life.

In my opinion, it really shouldn't be.

It's just a waste of server now. You can barely access the site since it takes so long to load. It was something fun in the past, but now it's just utter crap. No one has any control over it and all that is left are little children who are High School Musical fanatics. The site is now extremely vulnerable. The most efficient thing to do would just be to shut it down.

PP is hanging by a thread, it won't last much longer.

Well, Peach Paradise has certainly went kaboom and I really don't care about that place anymore. So, let's talk about here. =O

Using an InvisionFree forums is a really bad idea for forum hosting (plus it's ugly [not talking about the theme] and vulnerable). I suggest Simple Machines.

Who made the forum buttons?

If it gets shut down completely, I will be very sad to see that. :,(

I miss that site now. I don't think I can bare the fact that it's dying (Plus I don't see the reason why some of you don't care for that site besides it's lack of loading up). It was like a second home to me, but now it's just nothing but junk. There's no reason to open up that wound though. *snarl*

I just hope the rest of the admins return. *sigh*

InvisionFree Forums was chosen as a means to simply get a new forums off the ground as fast as possible given Peach Paradise's predicament at the time. Both Sphax and myself have had loads of experience with InvisionFree Admin systems, and thus, we were able to implement everything we could significantly faster than if we had any other forum provider. Cost was also an issue as well; vBulletin was being strongly considered, but the cost factor stopped us from going down that path.

The way things are seen now, is that unless PeachTech starts getting some serious community involvement happening, I personally see no reason to change the forum host provider, given all the reasons above. Of course, this is just my personal take on the matter right now, since I hate feeling like I wasted all my time for nothing. :\ Alas, if there are alternatives where we can transfer some/most of the work we have already done here, then I am more than willing to hear it out. :)

Sphax made all the forums buttons BTW. ^_^

Peach-Paradise is dead. If it returns, we will use it as a "forum archive", i will not post there anymore since the site takes ages to load and it is indeed very vulnerable.

By the way, I praise Zach and Toadsiliwraith for taking the iniciative to start this alternative. And I agree, the forum buttons are pretty neat (and the admin icons too ^_^ ).
My only suggestion would be changing the background to something more subtle and less harsh to the eyes.

It's the truth. Peach-Paradise was a great idea, too bad that it was poorly executed. I have privileges to change some aspects of the site (such as images, forum moderation and inefficient pseudo-bans that anyone can avoid easily) but unfortunately I can't save the site since I don't have access to the server (only Allison and Mario did).

But hey, most of the users who frequented the site are already here. :)
