If you have not been to Okunen in a while, you may not have known that our irresponsible host, Bluehost.com, had server troubles and during repair and “rebuild,” all of Okunen’s data was completely lost. Even our backup data was lost. At that point, after 8+ years of work, I thought maybe I would lay Okunen to rest. But after many emails from Okunen otaku’s and after realizing that I was having withdrawals, I decided to bring Okunen back after all…call it a respawn in 5…4…3…2…
But I promised myself that I would completely revamp the site if that occurred. So welcome to the brand new look…aren’t post-apocalyptic things supposed to be ugly? Ah, but not Okunen…so far it is very nice, and a change from the old dark background!
So bear with me, this is a work in progress and life doesn’t allow me to sit endlessly and nurse Okunen back to life. It will be a slow process, refinement of features, and a home for old otaku’s and new.
WELCOME…TO THE NEW OKUNEN ANIME!
i feel bad for what happened….but I know this site will regain back its life….More power……and I’ll be waiting for the anime gallery…….^^
That’s horrible! I remember when I was with 1 and 1 hosting, I was using their useless blog instead of a wordpress blog for over a year. Then they had server issues, and I couldn’t export my blog. As a result, I lost all my traffic which at that time was 1000 visitors a day. I didn’t lose my posts, but I had to manually export them into a new wordpress blog and start building traffic all over again with a new domain, and I wasn’t really happy about it.
It takes a long time to build a good website and traffic, and to see it dissolve in a blink of an eye, ’cause of some irresponsible web host is unthinkable, but it does happen.
After seeing your site before this unfortunate accident, I decided to start my own coppermine anime gallery, but discarded the project since I wasn’t sure how to save a backup on my hard drive. I just stuck with my wordpress blog, since it was easy to manage, and I know how to save a copy to my computer. Anyway, best of luck to you!
