Elliquiy Role Playing - RP, Stories, Games, Forums and Chat

Elliquiy's time at Accelerated Web was not a bad one. The new server is faster, more reliable, and more customizable. However, there is something you do not see in that $50/month ($60/month when I purchased it) price tag and feature list for that host. Of every shared host I have seen, they were the most security-conscious by far. It is hard to fully express just how much I learned from them.

Not just because it would take awhile, but discussing the finer details of how Elliquiy is set up always bothers me - knowledge can be used against its giver. I also have a moral objection to throwing out technical details that I am not willing to make at least a courteous attempt at explaining. I hope that, if you are curious, you do not feel that I throw out random terms that hold no meaning without explanation. I am going to do my best to explain a lot of terms here, but if I fail and you are still curious, please feel free to ask.

This does not keep me from discussing concepts, things that a technically adept attacker would know, or someone who takes the time to read the public statements I have made so far, however. That still leaves quite a lot to talk about, so I am going to begin somewhat randomly. : )

From apache's log:

I get various hints at this question and I figured I would try to explain the technical details with more rigor. This has been a goal of mine for some time now, and honestly the main benefit can be expressed as 'liberation'. That is, having Elliquiy on a dedicated platform means that I have options that simply weren't available to me before.

Anyone who has been to Big Boards knows that a forum-owner's e-penis is measured by their site's postcount. Today, Elliquiy passed Adult Adventurers as the largest role playing-oriented adult forum on the web, 882,431 posts on E to 881,820 on AA.

Darker Roleplay recently got hijacked. Fortunately the twerp involved did not have control of the domain name. I love my current moderation team, I really do, but, after Lilac has gone, there are some things I simply am not going to trust with another human, ever.

People will probably find the new layout to be a bit of a shock, but hopefully not too cluttered. Things will be changing a bit over the next month, but this is not what the next iteration of the forums is going to look like. I'm using Drupal here to host member blogs, public galleries, and provide a general front end for Elliquiy.
