While our staffs are busy updating videos and rebuilding our database, our developers would like to continue testing and improving the site. Since the implementation of the social features, over half our viewers had been using them to make recommendations to friends, keep track of the videos they’re watching and contributing valuable feedback. In keeping with that spirit, we’d like to test out some new features and we need your help. If you have any unused account which has the following requirements, that you would like to give to us for testing purposes, please let us know. Remember to replace the example username with your own username, of course.

YouTube: unused account that is older than 1 year and in good standing, meaning no strike. To find out how old an account is, simply go to your youtube channel page and look at the joined  date on the left side of the screen.
Ex: http://www.youtube.com/user/onlinephimnet

Facebook: unused account that is older than 2 years with no warning. To find out how old your facebook account is, you will need to go to your email account and do a search for facebook emails and look for the oldest message you received from them.

Twitter: unused account that is older than 2 years with no warning. To find out how old the account is, simply go to info page and look at the created date.
Ex: http://twitter.com/users/show/onlinephimnet.xml

An alternative is simply checking your email account for the confirmation emails (or the oldest email) from those services. You don’t have to compare the exact dates, you just need to make sure they are older then the require dates and you’re all set. If you have accounts that meet those criteria and you’re sure you won’t be using it again, please let us know. Thank you very much for your help.

It’s unfortunate that the services are down longer then expected. We’ve been working hard to address the various problems. We’ve tried many workarounds but keep hitting the brick wall. However, there might be light at the end of the tunnel. We will start updating the videos starting this week. We’ll be adding newer videos first, and if things go well … updates on older videos will follow. As always, the more support we receive, the faster and smoother things will move along.

We were pretty much down for most of August due to an attack that constantly hammering the system. We determined that the attack is most likely caused by a script kiddie running some kind of botnet program. We will not bored you with the details, so we’ll just say that the attack basically creates “fake users” that keep the server busy so that it can’t handle requests from our real users, you guys. Even now, the attack is still going on. However, we’re able to lessen its severity and thus the server is reliable enough to open to the public again.

In the next few weeks, we’ll begin updating videos. Since there’s more videos to add/update than we can count, we’d like to ask our viewers what you’d like to see first. Do you want to see new series or popular old ones? Do you preferred HK or Korean dramas? Let us know what you want,  our volunteers and staffs will try their best to fulfill the requests.

Once again, thank you for your patience and continuing support.
