….I know I should be coding something… I need to do some stuff on Kim Possible Fan World… But it’s just coming… Programmers are kinda like artists or writers… Not in the mood, it’s not going to happen… And two days ago or so, I spent almost 8 hours total upgrading SDS Forum to the version 2.0.20 and setting up a new style…

Had to fix the Quote BBCode, and I’m surprised that as little as it took to fix it it was actually released with this bug… I upgraded using the full package, too… Not the changed code or the changed files… the full package had this bug… Well it’s fixed and I won’t upgrade it for another year (or more) so it’s all good…

What I really need to do is work on the KPFW message board, so we can at least get some members and some feedback… The hardest part is going to be figuring out the design style… And how to incorporate it with the rest of the site… I’ll only be able to work on it for about 3 or 4 months, probably… We need to get it going, and it’s frustrating because no one wants to work on it… Everyone wants to see it happen, but no one wants to work on it… It’s as though I’m doing it alone… And a site of that magnitude cannot be done by one person… not in the time allotted… And not and have it really well done… That’s my project for the weekend… KPFW’s message board… Then we’ll see how many really come and how popular it will be…

The biggest problem, probably, will be the fact that everyone is stuck in their routine and it’ll be a monster to get them into a new one… Fanfiction writers are stuck on FanFiction.net, there’re no screencap galleries to speak of, and fanartists mainly use DeviantArt… And who can blame them? Those sites are well-known, and they’ve been in use forever… I’ve heard many KP fans express the desire to move away from FanFiction.net… Something about rules being enforced that sound ridiculous… I’d love to give them one… KP is a big enough comodity right now that we could do it and it’d be a very successful site. Biggest problem will be funding and programming…

Ah well… If you know PHP/MySQL, or if you’re good with HTML, let us know… If you want to donate, you can send via PayPal using the button on kpfanworld.com — No PayPal account required… or credit card…

I think a hosting plan has been decided on, finally… It’s the only one that seems to have reliable servers that don’t have the sucky max_questions resource limit… And the best bandwidth I’ve seen for the price… I mean 400 GB for $7/month?? and 15 GB of storage… There ya go… Best hosting plan on the net… We’ll definitely opt for PHP 5… That’s one I actually know… Too many differences with PHP 4…
