Yeah, that is actually tonight. The server will be going down for a few minutes at some point after 6pm (central daylight savings time) because I finally got around to getting a UPS. I will be setting that up, as well as a few scripts that will run in the event of a power outage (namely, notifications on Twitter and a clean shutdown). It shouldn't take long at all. Mostly, just plugging stuff in.

There are just a few things I want to discuss. I will also be putting this in an upcoming newsletter -- which I might actually get around to writing for once. I'm slowly digging myself out of the hole I fell into several years ago. I still can't believe it's taken me this long to get the drive to do things back.

First, there's MunjPets - which will soon be simply called "Pets". I updated the templates to look better on the new theme. There's still a few more things I'd like to fix, basically just simplifying some of the code and stuff. Also, hopefully, sometime this month, I will have the battle system functioning again. This will go in hand with Digital Dimension's Pet system. I just need to figure out stats and stuff.

Also, coming this month, will be our good old RPG battle system. I'm working on porting Inferno's code over to SMF's code base. The battle system there needs to be fixed, as well. At least, I think it does. There were some fixes made back when we had IPB. We'll see.

I'm still looking for some graphical contributions -- namely buttons for MunjPets' adoption center, and enemy artwork for the RPG system. And maybe an updated banner.

As for writings, I'm still getting to them. There will be something posted either here or on Digital Dimension...sometime this month, as well. Stay tuned.

Another thing: We now have a Facebook page, for those who actually use it/care about Facebook. And of course, we still have our Twitter account: @kitsuria. I finally got a useful client that will let me post small updates there. So, if you're on either, follow us!

Finally, I had gotten around to upgrading our forum software. Nothing too spectacular, other than security updates and feature enhancements. I also made a new default theme, because it was long overdue. We still have the same old banner for now, but that will soon be replaced. Either I will make a new one, or I'll let someone else contribute something.

I'm still working on updating MunjPets (soon to just be called "Pets"), adding in stats and a decent battle system. What I might do is work on Digital Dimension's version of MunjPets, and use that as a base for the system here. And speaking of battle systems, I will actually be porting over the one we had back when we used Invision Board. I just need to unbreak the battle system, and maybe set limits for fighting bots.

Also, I will be getting started on writing again, so you may see new (and yet-again-revised) chapters of both Kitsurian Chronicles and Digital Dimension in the near future.

That's about it for now. As with any major upgrade or new thing, since I manage to screw something up somewhere, if you notice any glitches, let me know.
