… so we shall resist no more. Thanks to spammers and wannabe hackers, our viewers has lost the use of the shoutbox (and voting right). Unfortunately, since I’m pretty busy most of my days, I don’t have time to work on a decent user management system and enable those features again.

Many viewers had suggested that we create a myspace or facebook account so that they have a way to keep in touch with us. Personally we don’t like those site, not because we’re antisocial but because they are so littered with so many ads that it’s hard to find your way around.  It’s such a big mess that you can bare know which parts are  actual contents and which are just ads.

However since most of you have either account already, or both, we decided to give it a try. So, for those that are interested … the myspace account we are trying out is located at http://www.myspace.com/onlinephim_net . Feel free to add us or leave a message. Let’s see how this turn out. For those of you who prefer facebook instead … well, let us know … maybe we’ll test that one out too.

Here’s another good news, bad news, post. Ok, let’s start with the bad news first. Over the last 2 and a half months we’ve been trying to bring back one of our servers. Unfortunately it looks like that it won’t be coming back, and along with it … all the videos that were hosted there. We do not have enough resources to archives every video we posted, so it’s almost impossible to back track all the dead links and update them. As of right now, we’re putting a stop-loss on it and move on. Some will get updated, but most won’t. If anyone wishes to volunteer to help update them, or post future videos, let us know. The staffs, and fellow viewers, would really appreciate it.

Now, the good news. All those 5 – 10 minutes videos should be playing fully, at least for now. Yes, it’s been a long time since that problem arise,. We’ll continue to work on it to find a more permanent solution. But for now, enjoy them while you can.

Edit: Look like the fix only worked for approximately a week before they changed the server settings again. Hopefully some people got some use out of that before it went down.

As always, remember that this site is still pretty much in the beta stage. It means that things are constantly changing, things will be broken, updates will be made … so if you find that the site is not working anymore, down the road, try clearing your browsers’ caches and cookies, reinstall plugins …etc .. all the usual stuffs. The staffs are usually hanging around at the forums for extra help if you need any. Yes, it seems pretty inactive there, but we’re always around.
