I have figured with so much time to spare, I would re-design v. 1.5 with a new layout! A massive task such as this requires me to give it v. 2.0 status instead of 1.5 status. The content will be expanded and added on to, and the picture archives fixed once and for all. DBI v. 2.0 should be compleated around this time next weekend or so.

Also Viz's 7th volume of Dragon Ball Z will be released some time this December.

The site is still down! I dont blame Mr. Ans for any of this, I blame Hostonce.com for being a terrible host with an extreme amount of downtime!

And another thing, I dont know if any of you have noticed, but over at dragonballz.com Goku doesnt have a mouth in the Flash version of him. You can see he has one in the html version, but not flash...hmm. I know its a small detail that no one but me would notice or care about, and is totaly rediculous to be spoken about, with no meaning what so ever and in technical terms is compleately null. But yeah I just thought I should tell you.

Ok, I uploaded to my new host and with help from Mr. Ans, was able to set up an awsome message board. This isnt the new site ur on right now, and i wont give u the URL to the new one till the weekend. Thats only because the host just got transfered to UNIX and they are inexperienced with it, because of that the site downtime is very high in average and would be extreamly inconveinient to you all. Once it settles down, ill give the new link.

Mr. Ans came through after all! I got my hosting and I can have my site open in 24 hours. The only thing is that...yeah im to busy untill the weekend. And Mr. Ans is only alowing me to have 1 full episode up at a time. To make up for this, I will be doing a episode of the day/week thing. Ill tell you when the next episode is gonna be uploaded, and from what times, you show up on time, and download to your hearts content.

I should have the site up by around...I would say about 8:00 am - 1:00 pm sunday, but yeah you will know when, cuz I will tell you when It happens, then provide a link in the news for a week. After that, this page will be shut down and replaced with a "click here to enter" page.

Note: The update directly below this was supposed to be for 10/22/01 and not 10/21/01 so sorry about that

Ok, Mr. Ans (hosting man) says hes transfering to unix as we speak, once hes done, I will have my account and yeah, I'll upgrade to v.  1.5 and get on with the sites uploading, repairing, and adding needs. To be honest, im not exactly done with v.  1.5 anyways. There are still some bugs, imcomplete things, layout treatments, flash upgrades and file changes needed done, this is why I probebly wont upload till weekend, hopefully if I can work all night like I normally do I will have it up by sunday morning this comming weekend. I still have some work to do. So far, this is what I got done...

  • SSI Upgrade
  • New Banner
  • Upgraded Sidebar
  • 1 of 4 new sections done


  • This is what I gotta do...

  • Complete Flash Upgrading
  • Add Background Music w/ Controlls
  • Upgrade current sections with layout
  • Fix Broken Links in Picture Archive


  • As you can see, I am about 50% done, so yeah I should be able to finish by the time I transfer. (its been more work than it seems)

    Also, Dai Kaio has made us a nice flash intro that im currently editing for v.  1.5 and Ill realease it with the site. Also I can assur you that once I get my new hosting, I will have all my episodes, all my video, all my dbz multimeida (a huge collection) up on the site. Mr. Ans (the guy whoes hosting me) is worrysome about the bandwidth and space I will take up, but I have a backup plan if all else fails.

    5:22 pm Central Time - Dai Kaioshin
    Alright now I am mad. 120 hours, no hosting although I was promised hosting in 24 hours it didnt come! I highly doubt that I will get hosting anytime soon, and If I do, I can only tranfer on weekends due to the limited time I have durring the week. Once again, I will do my best to get full episode hosting as soon as possible.

    In DBZ News, I got the Chat Log of the Brice Armstrong Voice actor of Lord Slug and Dr. Toymangla chat. Its in the Textbox below to make up for the space required to fit it in.

    4:32 am Central Time - Dai Kaioshin
    k, I got alot done so far. I got the whole site upgraded to shtml with ssi. And I made a flash intro, its not the greatest, but some of the new sections comming with v. 1.5 are. The only one im gonna tell you about is the "Private Stash" section. Bascily a section for humor and other cool stuff for people 13+ years old, or 12 and under for thoes with irrisponsible parents, (jokin'). Yeah, im not telling u exactly whats in it, but it will be good.

    Also, any sections not done now, will be done. The release date, is well I cant say for sure, cuz my new server is taking forever to set up, but its worth the wait cuz ill be on unix! And if u know more than my lil bro bout computers, u should know thats good. If u dont, its good cuz unix supports practicly everything and there is a 26% less chance of server orriented website problems. This should also mean faster downloads for all you. I may get extra mirrors for even faster speeds.

    Well, back to work...

    Sorry, late updtae today, but I dont really have anything new to add. Except that I am "trying" to learn a thing or two about 3D-animation. Also Comming sometime this weekend, DBI V. 1.5 I have decided to upgrade this site to use SSI (server side includes) and it should run much easyer that way.
    10/14/01

    8:40 pm Central Time - Kaioshin
    Ok, im done, it seems to be working ok now. Maybe this will fix the top 50 problems to...
    10/11/01
    8:18 pm Central Time - Kaioshin
    Just a quick note, for the next 30 minutes or so, im playing with the voting banners and stuff, because I cant have them in frames. Thus I gotta remove them remodle the sidebar, and put them back with a new account. The site should be back to normal in about 30 mins, please revote after 30 mins because all votes so far, didnt count :(

    And yes, the get more hits thing does work, its not spam!
    10/11/01
    6:31 pm Central Time - Kaioshin
    Ok, I have started V. 1.0 Advanced! Yes thats right, all you DSL, and Cable users will have a better verison where I can have unlimited imagination and creativity. Its still in pre-development and probly wont be done till christmas or so, but I will keep you informed on it till its launch.

    Also, this is my last update till late Sunday. As I said, im going to my grammas so yeah, I can update till I get back. Fortuanly this will be, say a longer update than usual to make up for me not being here for the weekend. Unfortuantly though, I wasnt able to contact Dai Kaioshin, so yeah. Hmm, ill tell y'all a secret here...When I gave up my position as president, and gave it to him (former Kaioshin) I expected updates from him to ^_^ well, im gonna ask for my spot back, lol, he better give it back to.

    Oh and another thing, our mailing list has been, well out of order for the past while, and dispite the many signups, your gonna have to re signup when I get it working again.

    For any of you who are canadian veiwers, they apparently censored king kia's remard to west kai. U know, he was supposed to say (and kids, plug ur ears, lol) you just wait and see you fat fucking half pint! but unfortuantly, they just put you just wait and see you fat tubby half pint! thus ruining the effect. Im not american so I dont know, but I heard that they didnt censor that on CN, which is why american T.V. is better.

    Dragonball TOP 50 has exactly 10 days to fix there seveer problems, or good-bye to them. They quit awhile ago and started displaying stuff wrong, and most likely, they dont even know about the problem. I think its the undefeatability of Planetnamek that did this, lol. They probly made another version where the same site isnt #1 for a year straight.

    Now, 11 days after we opended up, you can finaly send us, links, fan art, ur own dbz stories, or anything else that was mentioned that you couldnt send on the first update. Please refer to the Old News secion, the updates at the bottom.

    To send me anything, just email me at binkichi83@hotmail.com. Yes I will respond to your email within 2 days as I always check my email. One more thing, please dont send dumb email just to see your name in bright shinning lights in our dumb email section.

    Ok, this update is long enough to cover the weekend now, so yeah, I may update again if I can contact Dai Kaioshin before I leave, if now well, yeah.
    10/10/01
    4:07 pm Central Time - Kaioshin
    Nothin' much new going on today, exept that for the weekend im gonna be at my grammas place, so yeah now computer there so I cant update. Hopefully I can contact Dai Kaioshin before then and get him working for the weekend. Also, this isnt official yet but I have been thinking of an advanced version of this site for ISDN, CABLE, DSL, T1, T2, T3 ect... users with fast connection rates. Basicly it would be a better looking layout, enhanced with flash and background music that ur able to turn on and off. The news and content would be the same anyways, for the most part, I could run that one, and Dai Kaioshin could run this one. However, it would take some time to build as I may need Dai Kaio's help with the flash. If I do start building this, 56K and under users will have to use this current one. Even though the advanced verison is open to 56K and under users, it will take some time to load for you.

    Hi all. This is the old Kaioshin Speaking. Now(older) Dai Kaioshin has kind of retired from looking after the universe, I have stepped up to the job and now Dai is just a Kaioshin. I hope you people like my new vision for this site, which in credit we must congratulate (retired)Dai for doing a really good job. If u have suggestions, email me here
    10/6/01
    4:01 am - Kaioshin
    This is formerly Dai Kaioshin speaking. I just wanted to inform you all that I am no longer presedent and am only a staff member now. The new presedent is David Cook. Anyways im sorry for the lack of updating but I am not feeling so well right now but I will try to update as I can. Sorry, still no full eps but we do have all the vid clips, exept for Gokus first SSJ transformation.

    Another side note: The DBZ Top 50 is screwing up, we are not really in position #22 it is just displaying that so for now bear with it. Planetnamek is seeing whats wrong, and knowing them, its gonna be fixed. Also I will have some more sections including the MSN page and picture galery up soon so keep comingf back every couple hours, like maybe once or twice a day and see when there up, most likely sometime before monday I hope.
