About downtime...

Hello all.

We recently had some issues with the server but everything should be back online and functioning as normal now. I know I haven't posted any pictures yet from the last events, I promise to get  them up soon.

Happy Holidays!

What's up with you, man?

Hi everyone.

For anyone who doesn't know yet, life is cruel, it sucks, and you die. Really though, I've been so busy that I haven't had time for OFALAN in months. All that is going to change now, and I'm going to be proving that very soon. Hopefully in the next few days, I'll be pushing out a totally revamped version of this site, and over the next few weeks, I'll add and enable tons of awesome features. My goal is that at the end of this month, instead of this site being something you check once a month just to make sure I didn't post something new, it will be a fun place that you will want to be. The site will be much more interactive and powerful for everyone to be able to contribute.

I promise to release the photos of the last lan with this new site update push. If anybody has any burning desires for features, now is the time to talk.

Thanks to all the participants and sponsors for your patience, and I look forward to making this site work for everyone.

Status Update

Hello.

I apologize for not posting recently, things have been very busy. OFALAN 1 went pretty well, and I'm about to put a large photo gallery up. I will be making a lot of improvements to the site soon, so stay tuned!

LAN is going strong!

Hey all!

For anybody actually reading the site, the party is on and going strong! OFALAN 1 has had its share of network and internet issues, but thanks to everyone's patience and cooperation, we're playing games and having fun. Special thanks to Chris, John, and others for running around and fixing everything. Well, gotta get back to gaming.

Let the games continue!

New Sponsors for OFALAN 1

Hello everyone!

I must say, it's been a busy week! Today I come to you with even more incentive to attend OFALAN 1: caffeine. Lots of caffeine. Since I last posted, I have received sponsorship confirmations from two amazing companies, Excel Bottling Co. and BAWLS Guarana.

Although most people outside of the area have never heard of them, Excel Bottling of Breese, IL is a very cool bunch. Ski, their undeniable flagship product, is a soda made with natural citrus flavors and real cane sugar, making for a great, crisp taste.

A legend as far as LAN party sponsors go, BAWLS Guarana is at it again with its agreement to sponsor OFALAN. BAWLS is an energy soda with a distinct, fresh taste and provides 2.5 times more energy per serving than even the most caffienated sodas. We have the natural substance called Guarana to thank for that. :)

Crucial Sponsorship

Hello everyone.

I somehow managed to forget to say this, so I'll say it now. The nice people at Crucial-Lexar Memory have agreed to sponsor the OFALAN 1 event. I really like Crucial and how great their support is, and I use Ballistix Tracer RAM in my gaming rig. If you find yourself looking for RAM, consider Ballistix. Actually, if you are looking for a real bargain, come play in the tournaments at OFALAN 1. Cruical is sponsoring several prizes, so have fun.

Thanks Crucial!

RE: Server Downtime

Hi All.

I just wanted to let everyone know that if you tried to visit the site this weekend and were unable to access it, the problem was with the server end, and it has finally been fixed. Although it's not in my power to fix it, I was working very hard to keep on the server techs. I will try to make sure it never gets to the point it was again.

Thanks!

New Sponsor for OFALAN 1

Thermaltake Logo

Hello All.

I just dropped in today to let everyone know that you will need to "Cool ALL Your Life" at this upcoming OFALAN party, as I am pleased to announce that Thermaltake USA has graciously agreed to sponsor the event. To the people at Thermaltake, thank you from everyone at OFALAN! Your help is greatly appreciated.

OFFICIAL SITE LAUNCH

Hello everyone!

As of today, I am pleased to announce the launch of our new webiste system. It's not finished yet, but I promise that as I develop more features, it will only continue to get better. Enjoy the site, and feel free to contact me with suggestions. Chances are I thought of it, but I would still love to have some more input.

WE HAVE SITE

Hello Everyone.

After much time and effort spent this weekend, I have achieved what is almost a publishable site. The large majority of features are supported and working now.

Status Update/Test
Hello again. I am posting once again to test out some features that I've added, and to give everyone a status update. I've made quite a bit of progress on the articles features, almost to the point where I can call this section done. Still more work to do, I will keep in touch.
It's working so far...
Well, after much work, I have the framework prepared and almost all of the initial actions set. More to come soon!
