Yeah, the site can be slow sometimes.  We are still on a shared host (cheap).  I've found that there are good days and bad days.  It all depends on how busy the sites are that are sharing our server.  Someday I'd like to upgrade, but that costs a lot more (almost 4x as much). --[[User:FlyingRagnar|FlyingRagnar]] 07:49, 31 August 2011 (CDT)

--Vzing, thanks for your concern about possible vandalism.  However, I feel that right now things should be pretty safe.  In order to become autoconfirmed, you must make 50 edits and be registered for 10 days.  I think this makes it very unlikely that deletion vandalism would happen.  In the future if this becomes more of a risk, I will change it to make it more safe. --[[User:FlyingRagnar|FlyingRagnar]] 23:49, 4 September 2011 (CDT)

Re: Concerning moving files

I'm afraid it's nothing that organized, because I'm still pretty dopey when it comes to using/navigating a wiki in that capacity. I simply started at the back of the file list and move forward, changing whatever it is I can along the way, at least in terms of monster images.

I do plan on getting back to this eventually, I'm just tied up at the moment working on a personal project. Sorry about that, yo. --PantheonSasuke 00:05, 15 June 2011 (CDT)

When I first started renaming them, I settled on trying to keep the names to one spot with spaces only existing between the game and system. I was completely unaware of any sort of wording that could be used for simultaneous changing in accordance with article names, and can't quite figure out how it might work even now. (although I think I do grasp it now, but if it'd go off the name of the page then wouldn't it also capitalize the first letter of the name? That'd be inconsistent with in-game capitalization for the most part, though my current method probably clashes with that as well since I capitalize the first letter of the name in the file for reasons I don't quite remember now. Plus, a lot of articles still call files by the names they used before the new file naming convention was thought up, so they'd all have to be changed in-article regardless) I can't get my thoughts straight right now in regards to this, to be honest, but I feel like I've gone a bit far right now to suddenly start over, and given how slowly I've been doing things it'd probably take even longer to get it all done. Sorry if that sounds like cranky rambling, but that's about as much as what comes to mind presently. --PantheonSasuke 21:03, 4 September 2011 (CDT)

Slow Load Times

Yeah, the site can be slow sometimes. We are still on a shared host (cheap). I've found that there are good days and bad days. It all depends on how busy the sites are that are sharing our server. Someday I'd like to upgrade, but that costs a lot more (almost 4x as much). --FlyingRagnar 07:49, 31 August 2011 (CDT)

Is there a reason why Autoconfirmed Users can delete pages?

Though I'm pretty sure this was for Pantheon Sasuke, who requested to delete images, but you can delete pages too. Can you just grant administer permission for me and Pantheon Sasuke and revert the user rights so that only administers and up can delete pages? A precaution to vandalism. --V7ing 21:14, 4 September 2011 (CDT)
