Site Back Up
Ninja September 27th, 2007
Not sure why, but the site went down for a bit last night. It was something with our webhost. Luckily, everything seems to be running again.

Yay, after months, I finally got the database back up. We also have our first print for sale again. I apologize if we lost any of your submissions and your user logins.

Apologies for Database Problems
Penguin July 23rd, 2007
I just want to apologize for NvP. After the server move, we lost our database. Even still, it was corrupt before that. Between my day job, Love Angle, and everything else in my life, I just don’t have the time to sit down and upload the entire database again.
The process only takes an hour, but I have to find that hour. When you’re as busy as I am, you need some time to just decompress and veg.
Hopefully, I will get around to it tonight. The pressure from upstairs (you guys), is just overwhelming. Thanks for the kick in the pants.

Ninja July 22nd, 2007
Gosh, I feel completely awful!
Let me back track a bit. Originally, we had set up this site to be sort of like a Threadless, but for prints. I was going to sell some of my own prints from our shop + use some of the revenue to fund a monthly contest. The NvP community would vote for a winner + we would print their poster. The cool thing would be that unknown artists would be able to get their stuff out into the public + folks would be able to own some cool art (that they hand-picked themselves). Unfortunately, with our server move issues, + our hectic jobs/schedules, we haven’t been able to do so. This dream was sort of put on hold. At one point, Penguin was holding down his full time job, 2 freelance gigs, + being a youth group leader/drama instructor at our church. And I’ve been pretty busy with my bread + butter job, wedding invites for friends, + non-profit org design work, so I haven’t had a chance to fix + tweek the bezier curves for my upcoming prints. Not to mention that since our database is down, I haven’t been able to sell my current First Kiss print. =( No worries though, we will get our ish together! In the meantime, I just wanted to say a HUGE thanks to y’all for your emails + constant encouragement. You guys TOTALLY ROCK!!!
Whew, with that being said, I’ve had the pleasure of exchanging some emails with photographer, Mr. Steffan Chyzak. He’s been patiently waiting for us to get our database back to up + running order. My deepest apologies for this long delay. And a big thanks to Mr. Chyzak for sharing his work with me! =)
Steffan has some cute lil’ animal photos like this hedgehog (+ he’s got some penguins in his gallery too, hehe). Please check out Steffan’s website (click on the photos link in the menu on the left) + if you’re interested in ordering photos, he can reached at via email at steffan@steffan-alternativedesigns.co.uk.
Also, I do get quite a bit of email (anywhere from 50–100 emails a day). Haha, not all from NvP; I’m not that popular, so I apologize if any of yours got lost in the shuffle. I promise I will do my best to reply back to y’all in a timely manner.
Much thanks for your continued love + support! =D
Cheers,
Ninja

Thanks to Zach for pointing out that one of our domains didn’t redirect to the right server. I guess when our webhost moved servers two weeks ago, they didn’t change one of our domains.
Everything should be fine now.
In the future, if NinjaVersusPenguin.com doesn’t work, you can always use NinjaVsPenguin.com.

Related postsServer Move
Penguin June 29th, 2007
On Tuesday, the blog went down for a little. This was because our webhost was moving servers. Now, we’re on this massive RAID 10 system or something. Hopefully, everything is faster and smoother.
We haven’t been posting because when they moved the database, the NVP data got wiped. I think this was due to the corrupted tables. For fear of losing blog data, we refrained from posting until the move was complete.
For those who had posted to NVP, we’re deeply sorry that we lost your stuff. We lost our stuff in the move too. And I didn’t have the forsight to back up the database.
I will be throwing things back up this weekend, and things should be running again.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

Thanks to Kim for discovering that our database got corrupted. Not sure what happened or when it happened, but it seems to be only affecting core NvP stuff.
In the meantime, you can use this link: First Kiss to purchase the poster.
We are working on fixing the database.

Penguin May 21st, 2007
I finally changed our theme. It’s not final, but it’s a good stop gap until we port our design to Wordpress.
One of the main reasons for the move, was the links in the sidebar was covering the comics. This should fix a lot of those problems.
