Hello

Hi am newbie

Maybe I am too optimisitc but I was actually stupid enough to hope for a bit of a Christmas surprise on Forest of Mirrors..like a functional site or something'. Silly me.

Okay, perhaps the links I looked at are so old as to be invalid, since the link you posted seems to work. It's a shame the site's languishing, because it does look like there was a lot of interesting features before everything broke.

As far as caches go..your browser should clear it's cache when closed or at least you can set it to do so. I don't know what browser you use but in FireFox there is an ad-on to clear the cashe at teh click of a mouse button.

The site is here https://mirrorwood.com/ and it was supposed to be moved to a new server but that never happened and while the broken images and server errors are known, I doubt anything will be done..ever. Sad 'cuz I like the site..

The site is not gone but most of the site is non-functional. You can't post on the forum or send messages to users. Can't do much of anything, really.

I tried to follow some of the links to from the DragCave forum's Forest of Mirrors thread and only got errors. I wonder if the site is gone, but the pages still exist in your computer's cache? (I don't know enough about how caches work to know if that theory makes sense or not.)

To be fair the creator of FoM sis upposedly aware of the severe denigration but it is beyond me why he/she wants to keep paying server costs for something that doesn't work.

All my poor dragons are lonely on FoM....I wanna put them on scouring missions but that is broken too.

I just looked at the DragCave forum's Forest of Mirrors thread and saw one little silvery dragon thing among a vast pile of broken images. The link goes to an error message. The poor creature looks so lonely.

Perhaps the person in charge didn't realise the site would degrade so much, and now is too tired/incapacitated/busy to fix the problems or find someone they trust enough to let them into the code. I agree, though, it sounds from your description that the site is unlikely to recover.

So in the meantime nearly everything has deteriorated to teh point that the site is unusable, can't send messages to other users or use the forum...nearly all images are broken and this has been ongoing for months as well. So all I am saying is that if it is THAT difficult to find someone to fix the problems and/or take over then why not just take down the site and save a lot of money?

See..the FoM was moved to a 'sandbox' server back in August of last year and it was going ok for a few months when serious issues started arising and of course we were told about 'serious' health issues and that there was seemingly no one to take care of faulty coding that has been plaguing the site for MONTHS on end...

Yes..we were told that there is medical stuff going on...however that doesn't mean that they couldn't find someone to take over or just take the site down. I mean, what is the point of paying server cost for several months and not address issues?

This Forest of Mirrors dying sounds really frustrating, Ryu. How long has it been in decline? I'm wondering if there's a possibility the individual(s) in charge are having a medical emergency or somesuch (either themselves or family) and will return to put things back together once they've recovered?

Spaghetti is awesome!

Another thing that is sad is that FoM had been moved to another server and for a short while it was nice..scours, better breeding and all...it's just so...frustrationg to see nice sites die a lingering death....

It is sad 'cuz I was given a couple of nice critters too and now the site is practically dead. Yeah..I know..every one has problems..I try to be nice and understanding but I have also heard this before from other sites when in reality the creator of said site just got itred of it and instead of handing it over to someone lse or taking it down, they just let it languish then die.

I have almost given up on Forest of Mirrors. I mean..I still like the place even though 99% of it doesn't work but it is becoming abundantly clear that no one is going to take it over and make it a fun place again.
