"Legal" is still "Privacy Policy" too. Why are we rushing?

...I don't think we'll have that last signature ready. Either Saridon dropped or isn't done with his latest work. Regardless; this likely means that we won't be getting that last signature done. If you want to launch like that; it is fine with me. Though I agree, there isn't any need to rush it out by a few days. We've waited this long... a day or two won't kill us.

Things like "Legal" and "Name" are forgivable errors for the time being, so there's no need for something that minor to hold everything else back. That's my reasoning.

By "tomorrow at midnight," I mean at the end of Wednesday, when it turns into Thursday at midnight.

Text cannot be selected with your mouse on the site, so people can't copy the URL's text. But I CAN still put the text there and as long as I don't put a long link (like the direct link to the thread), it should be short enough that people don't mind typing it in the first time. Maybe just www.Vizzed.com/VizzedBoard or something, and then directions to our forum from there.

Yeah, I think that will work, just the link you mentioned with directions to the forum/thread.

As long as they get to the main board page. From there, it should be fairly obvious that they'll want to go to the forum called "Chrono Trigger Remake Petition".

You'd be surprised........

So, we're now officially launched, correct? What should we do first?

Download the petition and get signatures from friends...

So all is set then? Seems so. That is great. I'll advertise where I can. I'll write up something to slashdot over the weekend. It seems our main job is over now. Its end will depend on the CT fans alone.

*cough* In other words... go get those petitions signed!!!

Would you mind submitting the Slashdot story here before sending to Slashdot? (I'm sure you already knew that...)

Of course Jake. I actually did remember that; mostly because you've MADE SURE I remembered that by bashing it in to my head at every mention of slashdot. No need to worry.

2 items:

1. Maybe we should stop posting in planning and start a new thread about post launch business.

2. SSJoseph wants to put a link to our site on an upcoming site he's working on, and is wondering if we can give him a GIF to put next to the link, or to serve as a link. Do we have any images reserved for this, or anything we already have that we can use?

Hmmmm... Yes... I suppose I agree. A thread for things pertaining to occurences AFTER the launch of the site should probably be in a thread not labeled "planning". Afterall, if we launched, we aren't exactly planning anymore.

Props, any picture can be used... you just have to know how the HTML to do it works.

I believe Stoney listed a similar function. Here is the one I use:

[A HREF="www.website.com" onMouseOver="window.status='TEXT IN STATUS BAR'; return true"]
[IMG SRC="www.stored_images.com/image.gif" BORDER="0" WIDTH="0" HEIGHT="0" ALT="enter text here"][/A]

Just replace the website with the website you wish to redirect to, replace the fake image file with your own. Also, keep in mind... you have to size your image correctly. Oh... and text should probably be something along the lines of "Visit the Chrono Trigger Remake Petition!". Oh... and you'll also have to replace "[" and "]" with "<" and ">".

Here is Stoney's example again; this time with my code:






Anyway... I've been doing a bit of work. Gave information of the release at the CTRP forums, one of my personal forums, and will soon give the information over at the Compendium.

That's not what I was asking. I want to know whether we have a preference what picture people use to link to our site.

Use the fixed version of the logo that I posted in the "Request for Apoc" thread. The current logo (which Apoc used in that example) looks ugly in comparison to my byootiful fixed version. I'm currently fixing all the versions of the petition that I've got so they have the fixed logo AND have that 'To Whom It May Concern" buisness Prop mentioned. I'll e-mail 'em all to Jake.

Um, forgive me, but which one? The only pictures I see that you posted are the "Pwnt" one, the Lavos picture and the Janus/Alfador one.

Stoner, the only reason I didn't bother with the "To Whom It May Concern" business is because of those PDFs... The trial converting program only let me convert 10 PDFs and I used 8 to make the current ones... Just seemed like a huge hassle, and there'll be a master letter anyway (which will be the first thing they read) and it will contain the "To whom it may concern" stuff. Yeah, I'm bein' lazy, LOL.

Prop: This one. It's the logo I'm putting on the petitions. Compared to the original one, it looks much nicer.

Jake: Fine, the HTML and .DOC versions of the petition will have it while the .PDF versions won't. And I'll tell everyone it's your fault, you slacker.



EDIT: Yo! I've got an update on Claado Shou. Turns out his computer stopped loading yahoo and he had to use a friend's computer to find my email.

His reply contained two very important facts. First, he's given us a hard date for the completion of Chrono Symphonic's music: December 15th, in four days. Given that he'll want anywhere from 2-5 days after that to get everything in order, that puts Symphonic's launch in the range of December 17th, this Saturday, to December 20th, next Tuesday. No doubt as we get nearer to the music completion deadline, the launch date will become even clearer. So, Jake can expect that email from Claado with the Symphonic album at around Thursday.

Second important fact: he has taken to our offer to host the Symphonic site with great enthusiasm. I believe he described it as, "freaking sweet". He said he'll deliver the news to his web designer StarZander immediately. I hope we'll get an answer soon. I'll probably need David's email address or other contact information, BTW, since I'm sure Claado will ask for them soon. So if Jake or David could PM me that info, I'd appreciate it.

I suggest we wait until the Symphonic launch before we do the really major advertising, like the Slashdot article. This deadline has much more weight since it's a collaboration, and the other project's members aren't gonna wait around if our web designer is being lazy. We can really get Nate's butt moving with this.

(And if he shows no signs of life as we near the deadline, I will roast his ass. Because I refuse to let this opportunity slip away.)
