I'm sure a good amount of you guys out there have missed grabbing your favorite tunes from AOST while it was down. To compensate...
1. If you have 25 or more non-spam, non "thank you" comment posts
-AND-
2. Have less than 2,000 points
Then PM (PRIVATE MESSAGE) me for 1,000 points.
Remember, PM me; don't reply to this thread for points, or bother the rest of the staff :P. This is my own personal gift, so please enjoy it.

Chibi-OSTs.net - Our temporary new site address
Sep 09, 2008 - 5:37 PM - by DJ XtAzY
Since it's been taking so freaking long to get animeost.net domain back, I decided that we'll be running under Chibi-OSTs temporary. We'll revert to our original domain when I get it back. There's no point of waiting and put the site offline since I have no clue on how long it will take. Weeks of downtime is long enough.
For those of you who missed my email, the domain animeost.net was stolen and I am trying to get it back. So for now update your links to chibi-osts.net for the time being. Many links and images will be dead since it's still linked under the old domain.

Future of AOST
Aug 15, 2008 - 2:00 AM - by DJ XtAzY
Hello AOSTers! It's been awhile since I made announcements about AOST itself other than downtimes and server upgrades. However, this time it's about AOST future and how there will be many changes coming your way. The AOST staff and I have been discussing about this for a long time about how AOST should be in the future (at least the upcoming months). Please read on to see what will be happening.
AOST's Frontend (Homepage) Gets a Facelift (again)
Well not really, but I'm gonna have the frontend to be powered by Joomla. While the 4th revision of our homepage is only 1 year old, it only works for vbAdvanced, a portal of the forums and can't really do much. We can use Joomla to create articles and other useful goodies to the public, which is easier to deal with than vbAdvanced. There will also be additional 3 new styles for the frontend. They're simply different color themes made for your personal preferences. In other words, it'll come in light, dark, and a mix of both elements. If you don't mind getting blind, choose light. If you hate getting blind, go for dark. If you like both, choose the mix one. If you don't like any of them, you can just turn off your monitor and gaze at the rainbow at night. I don't care haha. But hopefully those styles will work out for everyone.
Forum Gets Upgraded
If you know what vBulletin is, then you might have known that three months ago there's a major upgrade available with many new features and changes. For those of you don't, vBulletin is a PHP software that powers our forums. We're currently using version 3.6.x series, but if you ventured to other anime sites that use vBulletin, or on vB's homepage, they're using the latest 3.7.x series. It may be a single digit difference, but you'll notice some differences after the upgrade. The most noticeable change will be members' profile page. You can customize it; style it; post on someone's profile; and other stuff. We'll introduce other features after the upgrade if we'll ever use them. We could have upgrade it three months ago but with the way AOST was setup, things will definitely break, lke current styles/skins won't work; point system won't work; gallery; custom modifications, etc. There are also plenty of bugs that will need to be cleared out by restarting the entire forums, which will be explained below.
Forum Reorganization
Since the forum is going to be upgraded, we also decided to change the entire layout of the forums. Basically we're planning to put the forum back to when it was first open to the public. It means that when you visit the forums after the upgrade, there will probably be new forums, few old forums, forums in different locations, and every single forum will be empty with no threads and posts, except for one. That particular one will be the Archive forum, which is a collection of threads and posts that exist before the upgrade. Because it'll...
