New Server - on Charas' Grandchild!
So, here we are.
Some of you probably followed the "impossible reports" we received from our previous hosting.
If you're interested in that part, details are here
They really pissed me off, so let's sum up a bit of things.
1) GoDaddy may be good for domain management, but definitively confirms to be the WORST COMPANY EVER about hosting.
So, after 6 years there, we're leaving
2) this is the interesting and nice part. Where are we now?
Someone may remember my main task is now on an Online Designer called the RealTimeDesigner (http://www.realtimedesigner.com).
I mentioned this in past because it's really thanks to Charas that now I do that.
Charas is old, but the concept was still the same: generating images online.
From my point of view, I can really call Charas the "Grandpa" of the RealTimeDesigner.
Now... For the RTD I have a big set of dedicated virtualization servers. As I had free space in one of those, I made a virtual server fully dedicated to Charas, and moved everything in there.
This means that, literally, Grandpa and Granchild are now living together in the same home.
Don't know about you, but this looks just RIGHT to me. It's just so nice!
And with this i hereby confirm that, no matter is we will reach ZERO hits, this place will survive. It's memory, history, headaches, joy, training.... everything together.
Not a single one of the "old" RPGMaker communities is still alive. We are, more than 10 years. An ETERNITY, thinking at the Internet.
So, GoodBye GoDaddy, you don't deserve a community of this quality.
And everyone, welcome in Grandchild RealTimeDesigner's home!!!

Update
Not much has been going on here at charas, and that is saddening. However, big changes may be seen in the future!
Long time member DragonBlaze has returned (que fanfare) and is talking about what changes can/should be made to charas to expand it and improve it. View the topic here: http://www.charas-project.net/forum/index.php?topic=28672.0. With enough support, this place may thrive again, so I highly recommend you at least read through this and post your opinion.
New contests may be coming soon. If you have any ideas or opinions of what you'd like to see, post them here. At the moment, I would like to make this contest something having to do with the forum itself (IE, make something to improve the forum, and then a set of judges will comment on it and rank you). This might be ranged from making a tutorial to making something for the charas generator to creating a RP to making a successful forum game to posting a topic for your own game/art/etc. Be creative and helpful at the same time.
Ephiam has completed his most recent RPGM2003 game, and it can be seen here: http://www.charas-project.net/forum/index.php?topic=28385.0 . Thus far, good reviews have been seen for the game. If you enjoy playing retro styled games, give this a look.
This wouldn't be an update by myself if I didn't do a shameless plug of my own work. Godsent creation is going well, and you can view progress here: http://www.charas-project.net/forum/index.php?topic=28554.0. Need something to interest you? Watch this (with captions on):
Have anything you want added here? Let me know.

Newsiscool: Beginning of August
Not much new this month from last, other than the massive change in the forum's look.
Bugs are being worked on (presumably).
Thus far since my last news update, there have been a few community activities. First one that I want to note is my own release of a VERY SMALL demo of the game I am trying to find time to screw around with. The link: http://www.charas-project.net/forum/index.php?topic=28429.msg376724;topicseen#new
The game tries to push rm 2003 to its limits using complex mathematics (cosinus, modulus, whatevas) and picture based movement. Give it a lookie.
Still worth a mention, moosetroop11 has released an updated version of his own game. http://www.charas-project.net/forum/index.php?topic=28308.0 is da link. Very few comments on it so far (and I equally share that sin with the majority of people on here) so let's sjpw him some love huh?
As for MIContest 2, it has been a month practically and no entries, so I'm going to cancel it unless someone objects otherwise. I've tried kicking it many times, and disappointingly not much life is in it.
Got anything you want added on here? Let me know! BTW my bday is in 4 days
