Welcome to the Cave of Dragonflies guestbook.
Hey wait… Is this whole taken-over thing an april fools prank? I hope it is…
Love the callback to Drag on Flyc Ave.
Who created this new layout? I know a lot of people love it but I'm just not feeling it..
Then I'm afraid I have no idea what you're talking about. Which affiliate has these links where exactly?
@butterfree
no, they do have links to it. I did mention it in their chat box thing and they started ranting at all of the people who had made comments about the site on there.
Ooh, nice! This is great news. XD
Ooh, nice! This is great news. XD
charizardscooltailflame thinks "You Won't Believe These Bizarre Glitches Elite Hackers Have Discovered…" is LOL, WIN and YAAASS
DRAG strikes again! Nice one. lol
I've been waiting for a big change to The Cave of Dragonflies for a while now! Wow! I love the new look, and I loved the new article even more. What a great one, so detailed and everything. Keep it up, Daybreak Recreation & Activities Group Productions, Ltd.!

Presumably you mean these are shady ads, not actual links on the site? I have an adblocker so I wouldn't know what ads they have, but in any case ads come from an ad network and not from the owner of the website. You can try contacting them with a tip that they might want to see if their ad provider has an option to turn off those kinds of ads, but it's not a sign that there's anything shady about their site - just their ad network. Most of which are pretty shady, to be frank. Use adblockers.
One of your affiliates have a link to an "adult friends" dating site… as well as a link to some cigarette seller thing. I know you can't do anything about it but it is probably a good idea to warn you
Aha! I probably should have looked before I asked. I know what you haven't updated though - your footer :P
Already using it; try viewing source.
Tried out html5 yet Butterfree?
I don't know to what extent it can be brought back. Largely I think the death of the fansite community is because social media sites like Facebook/Tumblr/etc. are providing the opportunity for self-expression and participation that once drove kids to want to create their own websites, and those aren't going anywhere. But I also think if there were more small personalish fansites, people would be more likely to make their own - I think most people who start a fansite are inspire by other fansites they've seen, and that makes the death of the community a bit of a vicious cycle. I'm doing my part by keeping up TCoD, but other people would probably need to take the initiative and make more sites to increase the odds of others getting into it.
Hello Butterfree!
I was a past Pokemon fansite owner but lost time to update it, even though I was still interested.
Now I notice that the fansite community is pretty dead which saddens me a lot. Any advice on how to bring back the community?
The front page updates are actually just plain HTML manually written into the file - there's no blog engine of any kind driving them. Technically I have helper functions that write out the header and comment links, but that's strictly a "less repetitive edits I have to manually make each update" thing.
The guestbook is a server-side script, but it's ASP.NET, not PHP. I'm sure there are loads of tutorials for doing something like it in PHP, though (but do be warned that it's really easy to shoot yourself in the foot with PHP, and a lot of free PHP scripts you find online are poorly secured).
Oh, and this guestbook too. Is that a php script?
