| New, and probably last question for a while: please don't ever do this, but why didn't you use ads to pay for this site? I imagine it's because you hate ads? I do! Please, if at all possible, never employ ads on this site! They are so annoying, and they cheapen a site; ads would take a away from the unique feel of Gendou.com. The lack of flash movies asking me to slap Britney Spears and telling me I won the hourly prize (again? that's the 12th time today!) is one of the underappreciated aspects of Gendou.com. I'm more happy to know my donations may be keeping ads off this site, too! |

you cannot outbid domain names. i chose gendou cause he rocks, of course. "honorary japanese dude" means i was given the honor of being included as a japanese person by a japanese person.

| Who do you pay for your domain? Is it possible for someone to "outbid" you for your domain? And why did you choose "Gendou" as your persona, so do speak? And what do you mean by "honorary Japanese dude"? I'd like to be one too! Thank you for taking the time to answer our questions, by the way! |

Yes, i pay for the domain name Gendou.com every 5 years. It does not cost a lot, the price for registering domains has fallen over the years, and become more user-friendly (example: godaddy). I used to watch a lot of anime, in high school. Now, i watch only a one or two series at a time. Busy busy. I love japanese culture, and am an honorary japanese dude, as a matter of fact. I watched Key the Metal Idol and Please Save My Earth on KTEH when I was maybe 13, those were my first anime. All HTTP requests are logged by apache. I only review those logs on a row-by-row basis if there is a problem. My server uses analog for basic statistics reporting, which I occationally use to control over-use of the system. All errors and anomalies generated on the PHP or MySQL level are kept track of in a database table, which I do reports on to identify and thwart hotlinkers on a daily basis.

| Another question: you say everything is logged, well I am very curious, how does that logged material appear to you, and how do access it? Do you access a special page on the website, only available to you? I am very curious. |

Did Gendou have to pay for his domain name? For that matter, does anyone know how paying for/using domain names has changed over the years? Also, what are Riceboks's, Satchiel's, and PSO Player's avatars? |

Specificly, bandwidth is the time that a user spends downloading from the server multiplied by the speed of that transfer of data. Basically, the size of all the data that was transfered through the server's internet connection. Anything you view on any website takes badwidth of someone's server. Your signature and avatar are using the bandwidth of photobucket.com, all the text of this forum is using gendou's bandwidth (so just browsing around the forums takes bandwidth, but in very tiny quantites). |

| Besides hotlinking to the songs, what other actions that we do that could use up this site's bandwith? I'm not familiar with internet hosting... |

I don't know what browser you're using, but in Firefox, click View > "Page Source" or just press Ctrl U. Then there's a bunch of javascript at the bottom that you can copy. |

When I view source, nothing happens at all on that particular page. I can copy the icons as pics though -  - but I think copying the code you're referring to gives me the full abilities of the mascot, right? |

use the mp3 files as you like. since they will be encoded into your video, and hosted on your servers, it will not waste my bandwidth, therefore i have no problem with it. you could theoretically copy the mascot code and put it in any post, or even your about section on your profile. just go to the mascot page, view source, and copy the code. if you need more direction than that, let me know.

I have a question about using music from your site in other Internet projects. In the fall, I'm going to make a Final Fantasy 6 "combovideo"( it shows off some insane FF6 tricks like the most damage I know possible commited by a 4-person party in one legitimate turn (552,000 dmg pts aprx) and the end bosses beaten without using any commands). I wanted to use some songs from your site in the video, La Soilder (Sailor Moon), Forever (Elementar), and Mell (Red Faction). If I disperse this video across the Internet do I have to be concerned about legal issues from the publishers of the anime songs? BTW I saw you had these cool mascots in the home section; is there a way to move them to another page and put them there? And is there anything in the future for Gedou.com mascots? |

yes there is! you will notice if you view the source that they have className "link". this is because they do not have an href attribute, so to make them look normal, i created my own CSS class. you can override the link className like this: .link { color: #RRGGBB; } (fill in what you want for RR GG and BB)

So, is there a reason why the two AJAX links, report and delete, don't conform to the style sheet? |

This probably means you do not have full AJAX support in your browser. I see you are using Opera 8.54, which should support the "XMLHttpRequest" Javascript object (which was added in Opera 7.60, I think). I will play around with Opera on my computer, see if I can find/solve the problem. EDIT: i did find just now a small (but show-stopping) bug in the delete/un-delete code, which has been fixed.

Re: Q/A, all about

| Hmm, i want to ask about something in this site... I accidentally double posted then when i tried to delete the post, the "delete" link turns into "deleting..." but in fact the page is not loading or doing anything anymore and so the post stays undeleted. The same thing happens when i vote a reuest. It says "voting..." but the page won't load... Do i just have to wait or is it some kind of an error? |

you can just down load the first ISO(aka the first disc)and burn it in to a cd.you can install debian with only one CD and get the rest of the packages that you want from the internet.i haven't tried Ubuntu though |

Debain may be good, but it's a HUGE download (approx. 14 ISOs). Try your hand with Ubuntu. That's the distro that I've had the most success with so far. |
