Update: Check out the new and improved SOS Server!

March 23, 2013 By Seth 19 Comments

New SOS ServerThe first way that you will be able to tell that you are on the new site is that you are reading this article!

Finally! The moment that we have all been waiting for. SOS is now on a shiny new and improved and much faster server. It was a lot of work to move it over. Quite frankly I am exhausted from watching Graham do it.

The site is still not as fast as I would like it to be and there is much work to be done but it is a LOT better than it was just a few hours ago.

The second way that you will be able to tell that you are on the new site is that there will be some missing posts and some lives saved missing and maybe a few other things for a while until we get it all moved over from the old site. It is also possible that a number of things may be broken or not working right yet and we will do our best to get them fixed up.

The best way to let us know if something is broken or missing is probably to leave a comment below but you can also email me: seth@sethonsurvival.com if the comments are not working.

This is only parts one and two of a giant 3 part make over that we are giving the site.

  • First we updated all of the software that the site runs on to the latest and greatest and fastest where possible.
  • Then we moved the site over to a new much better server.
  • And finally the last part, which is yet to come, we are going to give the site a new hair cut. Well figuratively speaking of course. What the next step actually is is a bit of a redesign of the way the site looks but with the added advantage of cutting several seconds off of the page load times and making the site both look better and be more compatible with and load waaaaaay faster on a a whole range of devices and browsers.

There still is the problem of the werewolves page. Comments are back up and running on that page but the software that the site is built on is just not really up to handling nearly 30,000 comments on one page soooooo. We need to do something about that. I am hoping to either archive say the first 20,000 – 25,000 or so comments somewhere and remove them from the werewolves page but I am not really sure how to do that within the confines of my mere mortal lifespan so I am trying to find a way to do it in an automated way.

After we are done all that then I am putting Graham back to work helping me get our new project out to you and then following that we have a big overhaul of the Monstrometer app which will finally add native iPad support and will support the long screens on the new iPod Touch and iPhone 5. Exciting!

Thank you all so much for your patience and keeping on keeping on with Seth On Survival. There is much more work to be done but today was a big day here at Survival HQ.

    Hopefully it shall not crash as much and delete my bookmarks. Thankfully, they came back. It only took about a week or so.

    It’d be awesome if our name & email didn’t follow us around from page to page, though, if you get what I mean. Type in the required fields, post a reply. You look, name & email is still there, you delete it. Go to another page and it follows you. Make sense?

    So glad to see the site is getting a major re-do. And I second what Ouroboros has said about the name &email following you from page to page. It gets quite annoying, like a lost child that won’t leave you alone.
    Oh, it’s Moon Song, by the way. Not actually a WW, I just used that as a ruse to see if I would be accepted by the otherkin/therian community. And I was. Although it seems I am the only therian here, as of now…
    If you have questions on what a therian is then feel free to ask! :mrgreen:

      It’s always better to learn, so I’ll bite. Please share some knowledge about Therians. Anything you’d like to share that you believe is something that we should all know.

        First and foremost – ask any 11 therians what therianthropy is and you’ll get 12 different answers.
        It’s impossible to explain it in a few short sentences; I’ve heard it vary from being a reincarnated animal to ‘becoming’ one when said therian is going through an extreme mood swing.
        My personal experience is that of phantom limbs and going into a sort of animal state of mind.
        There’s a few webpages on the subject, though I’m not sure if I’d be allowed to share them.

      Hail Archaea,

      Thanks for stopping by SOS in this, the Year of the Shapeshifter. I am working now on the info I need to add your kind to The Monstrometer. I hope you will help by adding to my research.

      First question then. Some say you shifties leave behind telltale skin fragments whenever you shift. Do you Therian’s “shed” one skin for another?

        Like I said, ask 11 and you get 12 different answers. I personally ‘phantom shift’ (also known as mental shift), though there are some out there who do to through physical shifts. What my personal thoughts in being therian can be found in the link below (not sure if it will work, as it is on deviantART)
        I suggest reading this (however, I ask that you don’t borrow from the Q&A section) http://m-y-t-h-e.deviantart.com/journal/Therianthropes-355692763
        And watching this (particularly the interviews) http://m.youtube.com/#/user/LightFurBlueMoon?&desktop_uri=%2Fuser%2FLightFurBlueMoon

        Some pointers on what a therian is and isn’t-
        NOT a ‘furry’
        NOT a shapeshifter (though therians can be shapeshifters, we are not shapeshifters in the traditional sense)
        It is usually a spiritual thing, more a belief, sometimes.
        Therians don’t choose their theriotype(s)
        A theriotype is a therian’s animal soul / animal half / animal self / etc…
        Not all therians are wolves (even though most of them are)
        Not all therians wear tails, harnesses, collars, leashes, etc…
        What separates a therian from an otherkin: otherkin are supposedly mythical creatures, such as a werewolf or dragon. Therians are real-world animals, such as wolves or horses.
        Therians hate being referred to as ‘teen werewolves’. It’s sort of derogatory towards us.
        The theta delta is the symbol for therians, although I’m trying make a symbol for snake therians.
        All of the therians I have met or talked to have some sort of mammal as their other half. So far, I am the only snake therian I know of.

        If you have any more questions then just ask!

          Hail Archaea,

          Thanks for the further info. Are we to understand that you are a snake therian then? And if so, what forms do you take and when and why?

          Do you know Beast Girl? She got stuck in the past. I think the Doctor sent her there but I’m not sure. I’m glad that you’re not a shifter like Koro. Those were dark days at SOS. Do Therians like to kill humans like shifters?

            Not unless we’re fighting or our country (ex. the USA, Canada, Mexico, etc…) and it’s absolutely necessary for self-defense.
            As for Beast Girl, possibly, sometime back when I first joined and was going under the werewolf otherkin ruse.
            And my forms, it’s only the human one. In dreams the snake form is real, though when going through a phantom shift while awake I am unable to move my arms or legs & it feels as though my body has elongated into that of a serpent. I also do have the habit of doing the occasional tongue flick or ‘snake hiss’.
            I can tell you are still caught in the thinking of therians as physical shifters. Again, there are many different meanings to the word, but through my studies to find other therians I have generally come across it as what I have already stated.

      Hail Devorah,

      Sorry to hear about your hockey incident. Did you see any leprechauns or void chipmunks on the ice? Zyboragon has been seeing them everywhere. It would be good to inspect that ice surface. I understand there is sometimes gold hidden under the ice – this could be the cause. Did any of your opponents have either really red or really green hair and spend more time digging at centre ice than chasing the puck?

      Hail OE,

      Thanks! I think. I’ve never had a seal of approval. Does this require any special care and storage instructions? How does one use it?

      Thanks for your patience and for keeping on.

Hail Survivors!

I recently received a very grave -no pun intended- warning from Survivor Miles who I believe may be located in or near Texas. Survivor Miles recently survived a vicious zombie attack, armed with only his wits and hedge clippers. His parents unfortunately were not so lucky.
